AN INTERESTING BOOK.

The West Virginian acknowledges
the receipt of very handsome and
useful publication prepared by Hon.
]. B. Garvin, Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture. It is worthy Of
general circulation and 1t seems a
great pity that every farmer in West
Virginia cannot have one in his home.
The report brings out in very strik-
ing manner the possibilities of farm
Ing, gardening, truck raising, fruit
growing, ETC., in West Virginia aud
shows by maps and cuts the various
sections Of the State suited to the
different kinds Of agriculture. 1t strikes
lis that it would be money well spent
for the Legislature to authorize suf-
fcIent number Of these books print
ed for general distribution. No other
field of endeavor Is more promising
at the present time in West Virginia
than that of intelligent farming. No
land beneath the sun has greater pos
siblllties for successful farming and
stock raising on a moderate scale
than our own Mountain State. Rich
soil, fine hills and valleys, mild cli-
mate and the whole State in easy
reach of the great cities east and
west, what place could offer more in
ducement for home builders? We
nope Secretary Garvin's book will do
much good and we see no reason why
1t will not.

other day relative to the Reform
School at Pruntytown. The Register
in its usual small way criticised the
governor for taking a trip out Of the
state, saying that he ought to stay
here and look after the Pruntytown
school. Not a paper in the state to
our knowledge even gave the Regis

that the press Of the country is very
