The one ever present element Of dan
ger In hog raising Is the liability Of
loss from cholera. This disease Is prob
ably carried from farm to farm by
farmers themselves MS often rs In any
other manner. In field or lot OF sick
hogs the soil becomes infested with the
germs. These are carried on mems
shoes, on wagon tires and in other
similar ways from one farm 10 another.
Strict quarantine will frequently carry
n herd Of hogs safely through an cpl
dcmlc OF cholera, but there appears at
present 10 be 10 satisfactory way OF
avoiding the disease. The farmer who
depends largely on hogs for his income
must therefore be prepared 10 meet oc.
tasionaI losses from this cause.

Judge Mason Called.

The Wheeling Intelligencer sends
forth call for Judge Mason to the
goVernorship of West Virginia, anS
1t reads as follows:
Despite the fact that Governor
White would be in many respects, an
ideal candidate for governor, and
what is more important, an ideal gov
ernor, the IntelIigencer still clings
to the hope that Judge John w.
Mason will yet consent to make the
race for the nomination. The large
majority of the people who would
support Governor White would be
satisfied with the nomination Of
Judge Mason. Mr.. White, the In
telligencer has every reason to be-
lieve, is not a willing candidate. He
will he candidate If he believes
that his candidacy will best serve
the popular reforms which he has
advocated. In Judge Mason's hands
these reforms will be safe; there will
at least be no backward step. The
policy which the Republican party
has adopted will be maintained and
developed to its legitimate conclus-
ions. To avert a bitter political bat
tie, which no one seeks. but which
under certain candidates, 1t is bet
ter to seek than to avoid, Judge
Mason is the man of the hour"
However. the call may be not
quite loud enough for Judge Mason
to hear. He says he does not want
it, nor does he want to be called
TO 1t.

Miller on Exnminntions.

An idea advanced by State Super
intendent Thomas C. Miller of the
public schools in connection with
burdening the grading board in the
matter of examinations of teachers
suggests another idea, that is, should
not every examination pay for it.
self, and, If not way not? He calls
attention to the fact that twenty
two hundred took the May examina-
ton which means forty-four humid
red dollars, was collected from the
applicants. Supt. Miller certain
~ does not mean to convey the i'm
preston that the holding of the ex-
animation and the grading of the
manuscripts and the issuing of the
certificates cost more than that, and.
II not how was the examination ex-
pensive to the State or the free
school department.?
The idea of the examinations be-
ing burdensome and expensive is ad-
vanced by Superintendent Miller in
an appeal for those who do not in
tend to teach and know they can not
pass the examination not to try it.
OF course, the examinations ought
not to be used merely as q matter Of
test of those who are not sincere in
the matter more than to the degree
of ascertaining what their ability is
in this respect There is no
good reason why there should
be imposition, and yet there
is no way of learning in adj
vance that such imposition is i'm
tended. But, after all do not these
pay fee that justifies the grading
of their manuscripts? If not, the
fees should be brought up to an
amount that will fully meet the en-
tire expenses.
Also in his zeal to have examine
tions exclusive for the profession,
Superintendent Miller should not
overlook the fact that to hold an ex-
animation 1T is necessary to have APP
plicants and the more the better, as
the greater the number the better
the chance to supply the schools of
the State with teachers.

because the merchants there did not
want It. The train will leave here
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and get
back at 6 o'clock IN the Afternoon.
Just why Weston merchants would
not want all the trains possible most
people fan to see, as the more trains
the better business ought to be. In
the days Of stage coaches Weston
did not amount to very much, and
the coming of the railroad certainly
marked the real beginning of Wes-
ton. For some years Weston mer-
chants have opposed the building of
trolley line between Clarksburg
and Weston, fearing that it might
take all their trade away. This is
an erroneous idea as it would cause
more people to go into Weston than
ever and resultant would be an in
crease OF trade. Indeed, the Wes-
ton merchant must be peculiar in
dividual and certainly does not rea-
son IN his own interest.
