TELEGRAM RECEIVED BY CLERK
GREGG LAST NIeHT-co
TRACT Will BE SIGNED.

] MoRGANTowN. Jan. 2o.-clerlI
Gregg, OF the County Court, received
a telegram, from chief Engineer Brady,
of the B. and N. informing him that
Brady and President Blair will be
here to-day to confer with the court
! and to sign the formal contract which
has been in prospect between the par
ties for some time.
The court met last week and ad-
journed until Monday in order to al.
low the B. and N. people to get here
for the purpose for which they arc
coming. It had been expected tina:
they would be here last Thursday but
no word was received until Saturday
evening.
A meeting of these Interested In the
railroad was held last week in Pitts.
burg and it was determined to extend
the line. The representatives of the
road were expecting to come immedi-
ately but they failed to do so for some
reason that has not yet been revealed
to the court. However, their message
has shown that the fact that they did
not come when expected was due to
the failure of the hackers of the, road
to agree on its extension.
It was feared that the Pennsylvania
and the B. and o. would be able to
block the plans of the Lake Erie which
has been trying to get the road up the
river from the point 1t has now reach
ed to a connection with the Western
Maryland at Belington. 1t is nov
known that the plans of the independ.
ents will be crowned with success and
that the road will be built.
or course there is the contingency
that money matters may intervene to
prevent the road from being built or
the property owners along the road
may attempt to hold up the promoters
and thus compel a change Of route
but unless something very unforeseen
occurs the road will come.
This is known from the fact that
the road is willing to spend at least
$4,000 in order to permit it's going
under the west approach Of the new
bridge. Unless those interested in the
matter had the utmost confidence in
the building of the line they would not
bind themselves to pay out such a
sum of money.
This amount will be wasted II the
road is not built. In any event the
county will get a bridge which will
be at least $4,000 better than the one
| that had been proposed to be built and
the railroad will pay the difference.
The approaches will be much bet
ter and the grade OF the bridge will
be materially bettered. The road will
go away from the end Of the bridge
in both directions, at much better
grade and the prospect Of the county
to get the Improvement is such that
every one is much pleased with It.
Members of the court and the peo-
Pile of the county generally are much
pleased with the outlook and they will
welcome the coming OF the officials
with their contract and their bond for
the faithful fulflllment of the same.

CORN FOR PIGS ON PASTURE.
Keep the Animals Fed Up, II You
Would Realize a Profit.

With the high price of corn a great
many farmers will be tempted to run
their pigs through on clover pastures.
or on rape or other artificial pasture.
aud finish them OF after the new corn
Is ready, says Wallace's Farmer. We
do not say that this is not wise. plan
under many conditions. 1t must be
borne in mind, however. that II farm
ers generally in the corn belt adopt
this method this year there will be
great scarcity of hogs in the early part
Of the season, and glut when the
hogs come In that have been fattened
solely on new corn. 1t Is quite pos
sible to carry pigs through in this way
at the minimum of expense.
Where farmers have alfalfa or good
clover they can make a fair growth
on pigs without any grain, but they
cannot make rapid growth, nor,
indeed, as rapid as desirable, for the
reason that the feed is SO bulky and
so watery that the pig cannot possibly
hold enough to make the food of an
crease in addition to the food of sup
port In short, 1t takes nearly all that
to run the machine. Hence farmers
who have plenty of alfalfa pastures
find 1t profitable to feed their pigs a
half ration of corn.
The same is true of clover pastures,
making the food Of support from the
cheap grass and adding enough grain
to make rapid increase. Good clover
and corn are In themselves fairly
well balanced ration; but its value
can be increased by adding about a
pound of oil meal to every five or six
pounds of corn. This will bring hogs
up to marketable size good while
before those that are stocked through
can be put in condition for market.
On large farms where much steer
feeding Is done this stocking through
of pigs On grass is favorite method
and profitable one, because in this
way they grow frames large enough
to carry 300 to $50 pounds and put
them on the market as heavy packing
or fat backs. The farmer who grows
pigs to market his corn, and who
feeds largely on corn, cannot afford
to make these weights. He finds 1t
more profitable to turn them on the
market at from IT'S to 200 pounds, at
which weight, II they have been fed
corn, they will be In fine condition for
the market, many OF them making
prime bacon, for which the packer can
afford to pay more. whether he does
1t or not, than for ordinary packing
grades of heavy weights.

you'll and yourself walking on the
ceiling, head down. Finally an open
ing is reached. You step out onto q

you to grab the rail for safety. In
darkness again, you try to make your
way through a typical labyrinth Of
rooms. Feeling along the wall with
one foot ahead of you to ascertain the
nearness Of bottomless pits, ETC., for
your minds eye sees lots that don't
exist, you bump your nose against
few barriers and eventually push
against wall. which gives way and
you find yourself alone in a turnstile,
inclosed on all sides. When your ter
ror has reached burning point some
one else behind pushes the wall as you
did and you are liberated, only to
again find yourself in the midst OF
weird ghostlike cries and see skele-
tons darting hither and thither (on
pulleys). A little scream just at this
moment might be appropriate. Just
to get your mind off the terrors of the
place, the next few turns are tame,
when suddenly your feet slide out from
under you and you find yourself shoot
ing down chute in sitting position.

you have time to think it over, you've
landed among the crowds outside,

Colts feet during the winter and

II they grow straight and their toes

Ordinarily they will break on of

the pole. AS the speed increases the
cars rise higher at the ends of the
cables and, inclined, speed through
