agriculture, has the following to say
concerning the swine industry OF THIS
state. His remarks are published in

the agricultural resources AMI ptssi-
bilities OF West Virginia. West Vir.
ginia not being in the corn belt is
not hog state, though in few sec
tions, such as the eastern panGmale
md the Ohio valley quite few hcgs
are raised. These hogs are generally
sold to the local butchers, and the
farmers report that often the hogs
make good profit, realizing from
90 to GO cents per bushel for the corn
fed to them. When the growing of
alfalfa becomes more general, no
doubt more hogs will be raised for
then they can be grown on alfalfa
pasture much more cheaper than on
corn. The Berkshire, o. l. c., Duroc-
Jersey, and the Poland-China are the
principal breeds, but with hogs, as
with other domestic animals, our peo-
pie do not fully appreciate the value
OF pedigrees.
In Putnam county there are 6,214
swine valued at $1S,642 Selling at
"a market price of from to 10 cents
per pound, the outlook for swine in
West Virginia is good. However, we
hope to hear very soon that our peo-

DO Tresses Suit the Face.

Beauty is greatly affected by the
way the hair is arranged. Bad poiats
may be softened or even obscured
while good ones are brought into
prominence. Of course, no uniyer-
sal mode can be followed if woman
wishes to emphasize her best facial
expressions. She must find ont the
style that most becomes her, and
adopt it as her own with variations
For example, a round face needs hair
arranged on the top of the head. or
at least it should be brushed off the
forehead, and the part in the middle
should be avoided.
"A woman should take no notice
of what the fashionable couture may
be, but just dress her hair to suit
her face ANY one with broad
brow should wear as little hair as
possible on the temples and dress il
high One with low brow should
keep the hair off the forehead in
front and arrange a few wavy locks
on the temples.

termine the necessity for taking such
lands, trackage rights or other prop
erty, and shall determine all terms
and conditions relating to and gov
erning such taking and using of this
property.
This bill, it is believed, is intro
duced to relieve some of the embar-
RAISING conditions which prevail in
Milwaukee to keep other railroads
out of the city. 1t may refer to the

said has become burdensome.
