SPIRIT OF CHEAT MOUNTAINS
Tale Of A Spiritual Visitor to Elk In
1914.

About 1914 quite number OF per-
sons were considerably interested by
thrilling reports Of the words and &C.
lions of an apparition that was seen by
some parties on lower Elk.
The apparitlon seemed TO be that Of
tall, rather elderly man arrayed in
white with long flowing beard,
shining circlet around his head,
something that resembled bloody
moon on one shoulder and on the 9TH
err sun In total eclipse. The few
words he was heard to speak seemed
to be to this purport. "Behold the
bride groom cometh. go we out TO meet
him.
watch ye therefore and be ye
ready, for Ia an hour We think not the
Son Of Man cometh
Repent for the Kingdom OF Heaven
Is at hand. Time shall shortly be no
more"
The apparltlon seemed to be nnfor-
tunate as regards the parties TO take
up his message and give 1t circulation.
So the matter was treated as Jest
and byword in very little while.
But few have even a vague recollec-
ton OF ever hearing OF il at all that
are now living. When last seen the
apparition was 10 tears, shaking the
dust from his feet and uttering sad
lamenting words he moved rapidly
away out OF hearing and out
Of sight towards the gloomy pine soli-
tudes Of Cheat Mountain.

border of the wood. AS one tree is
removed another Is hooked, and so
on until the end of the wood is
reached, when a reverse operation
takes place. This is to obviate the
necessity of backing the oxen and of
removing the tree after it is pulled TO
a distance sufficient to allow the tree
to be pulled down at right angles to
the border of the wood
1t is readily seen that if the oxen are
driven in a direction nearly parallel
with the border of the wood but mar
row place will have to be kept clear.
The grubbing hoe should be made of
the best of steel, well tempered and
be kept sharp by grinding once a day.

KEEP THE CATTLE.

ON Straw and n Little Grain.

Apropos OF successful experience in
feeding wheat straw, with the addition
of enough ground wheat to secure a
maintenance ration, d. II. Otis of the
Kansas station says:
This experiment indicates the possi-
hilities In wintering cattle. When
wheat straw, doubtless the poorest
roughage on the farm. can maintain an
animal with small outlay for ground
wheat, 1t ought to encourage q farmer
TO hold his cattle. Straw is abundant.
especially in the western part of the
state. In many places II Is being burn
ed in order to get rid of Il. Where
straw can be had for the hauling and
wheat at 60 cents per bushel the feed
cost of keeping 1000 pound COW on n
maintenance ration need not exceed
$1.25 per month. Suppose the straw
costs So per ton, the feed cost would be
only $3.50 per head per month. or $3.50
more than 1t usually costs In years
when feed Is plentiful
Most every farm produces rough feed
considerably better than wheat straw.

fodder, sorghum fodder or hay can be
fed either alone or in combination with
each other and the amount OF grain re-
CURED for maintenance reduced. Where
red clover or alfalfa is available little
or no grain need be fed.
The present low prices of stock cat
tie, with every prospect of high prices
in the spring, and the cheapness with
which the cattle can be wintered. as
shown by the above experiment should
induce farmers to hold their cattle even
though they could be sold at fair prices
When the cattle have access to a
straw stack, they get considerable chaff
and more or less shriveled or waste
wheat blown over with the chan. Tn
der these conditions cattle would need
less of the ground wheat.

The Pleasing Driving Horse.

Nowadays horse is horse, but to
satisfy the demand for a stylish driy-
ing horse every line and movement
should please the eye. He must show
considerable speed, and his work must
be done neatly and with apparent pride
and satisfaction to the animal. He
must respond to the will of the driver
and exhibit sense and courage In the
presence of unusual sights and sounds.

MEAT FOR ARMY DEPARTMENT
omcer Declares There II No Good
Reason why Omaha Cam
not supply II.

At it's meeting Friday the Commercial
club decided to request the commissary
general Of the United States army to for
ward to Omaha q copy Of the report sub
mitted to him by the officers Of the depart
ment who inspected the South omaha pack
ing houses for the purpose Of determining
their ability to supply the army with the
meat required for the soldiers In the Phil
ippines.
The officers who made this report were
Major Krauthoff and Captain Gallagher of
the commissary department and 1t II
understood that the report was to the
effect that Omaha possessed nc advantages
over other Missouri river points.
An ofhcer of the army who has had con-
siderable interest in the purchase Of meats
for the Philippines and Cuba says;
while 1t may be that the report Of the
officers who investigated the condition Of
affairs at Omaha was to the effect that
this city possessed no advantages over other
Missouri river points. such a report might
as we'll have been made Of Chicago. The
only advantage that city possesses at any
time over any other centrally located city
is that they kill more hogs there than
they do at any other place and, therefore, in
the case Of a rush order the meat could be
packed quicker. But at this time there IL
hardly any occasion Tor rush orders n
any town OF the capacity OF the packing
houses at Omaha could easily supply ordi-
nary demands.
THE packing OF meat for the Philippines
and other troplc countries is something
new for the packers of the United States
and for the officers Of the subsistence de-
partment. At first we sent the ordinary
packed meat to the islands, but found tha
1t would not keep. Then the department
conducted g series Of experiments and
discovered a method Of packing which pre-
serves the meat until II is consumed. This
process requires at least forty-three days
to cure the meat, while two months may
be consumed II there is time enough.
Captain Grove, the assistant commits
sary oficer at the headquarters of this do
partment. spent considerable time in Chi
cago under officers who are experts In the
cure OF meats intended for the use Of the
army, n II is understood generally that
as soon as he is relieved Of the routine
duties of the ONCE by the return Of the
chief commissary ofhcer, Major Niskern,
