What about
EctraSession
Before July?
GoUernor May Be
Obliged To
CaNH

CHARLESTON, w. Va. April 27.--
Will Governor Glasscock find it nee.
essary to call special cessiun of the
Legislature between now and July =?
This is question which is being
turned over in the minds of those
whose attention has been called to
certain things the recent legislature
did and did not do. Some think an
extra session will be necessary while
others believe that, some way will be
found to get along without It. The
truth is that not more than dozen
persons perhaps only half that num-
ber, are familiar with the discrepancy
and this ds the first intimation that
the public will have OF IT.
To come to it at once, the West
Virginia penitentiary may be without
funds to maintain It after July 1. The
Legislature appropriated nothing for
1t and the new law creating the boa. i
Of control provides that al money
taken in at the various State institu.
tions must be paid into the State
treasury and paid out only when regu.
larly appropriated.
Pen a Money Maker.
The West Virginia peniteptlary has
been a self-sustaining institution for
several years past. 1t has even done
better. The records show tina. for TIE
past three years it has paid into the
treasury an average sum annually OF
about 100000. But the new law
changes things and no matter now
much money might be made by the
penltent!ary, it must all be turned-
into the treasury and not used to
maintain the institution, say some of
those vino have given thought to the
matter. Section 6, of house bill No.
292, creating the board of control and
board of regents, says: "All fun Is
and moneys belonging to the State
which snail come under the control
or in the possession of tne State board.
OF control, or OF the State board of
regents, or any officer, agent or board
of any of the State institutions shall
be paid into the State treasury on tire
last day of each month and be report
ed to the State board of control, under
such rules and regulations as 1t may
prescribe"
Prohibit Use of Funds.
This provision, 1t is believed, will
prohibit the use OF any State institu.
ton of moneys collected by Il as has
been the custom heretofore. The
thousands of dollars made by the
pen!tentiary will have to be turned
over to the treasury, every penny Of
it.
The same section>of the new law
reads further. Whenever the appro.
priations by the legislature ere In.
sufficient to pay tle expenses Of con.
ducting any Of said institutions. the
deficiency shall be certified by tie
State board of control to the board of
public works. Such certificate shall
state the name of the institution. the
items and amount in detail certified
to be needed, and the board OF public
works may direct the payment of tie
same or any part thereof under chap.
ter sixteen Of the acts of 1901"
Solution Suggested.
Here then seems to be the solution
to the problem. But where would tie
board of public works raise that
amount of money? The governor has
a civil contingent fund of $4,000 s.

Cattle Are Scarce.

There is a great shortage of cattle
in the United States The breaking
up of the great western ranges has
been contributing cause. Large
herds have been cashed in during the
past few years. This meant the mar.
keting of all the females and imma.
ture stuff and while a share of these
found their way back to the feeders
the larger proportion met immediate
slaughter. Under such conditions the
future supply was necessarily short.
ened. This, in connection with the
fact that the country's beef supply has
not for many years kept pace with the
increased consumptive demand makes
the shortage more keenly felt.

Large, old sows bred to aged bears
produce the largest and finest filters.

for breeding purposes until they have
made considerable growth and ex-
hibit the outstanding characteristics
which they will have.

the producers should be permitted to
stay on the farm
The hog destined for the market
has a short existence, and the profit
upon him is in ratio to the amount
of healthy forcing he is given. The
young, growing hog should be pushed
along as fast as possible
If you keep your hogs in pen all
the time, don't expect to make any
world astonishing profits The hog is
a natural grazer and fattens best and
grows best when allowed plenty of
exercise and opportunity to forage.

the patient beasts sliding about or
slippery streets in desperate and oft.
en- vain efforts to keep their feet, will
hope that the invention is financial
success. The horseshoe has a series
of parallel ridges on it's heel and toe
portions. The ridges on the toe por-
ton run parallel to the longitudinal
axis of the shoe and those on the heel
portion run transversely. These ridges
form a series of recesses adapted to
receive and retain snow or dirt, thus
forming a bearing surface for the
shoe and making the horse surer of
his footing. Running in opposite di-
rections, as they do, the corrugations
act as a sort of brake in whichever
way the animals feet may happen to
slip and the whole effect is to prevent
snow or dirt "caking" on the fiat of
the shoe.

HOW TO TAKE HORSES PLUSE

The pulse is due to an automatic

by the jets of blood pumped into those
vessels by means of force pump

Each stroke of the heart is equal to

average number of pulse beats per
minute is about SO to 40. The larger

Don't press too firmly, nor yet too

NOTES FOR SHEEP RAISER.

Shearirg machines beat hand shear
ing every time. They are not expen-
sive and they cause fewer wounds and
do the work more evenly than the
average farmer can do with the old
fashioned shears.
Watch the old ewes and when their
teeth become badly worn fatten them
as quickly as possible and send them
to the block.
Grade the flock just as carefully as
you grade the dairy herd. Weed out
the poor animals and keep only the
best.
A half-dozen poor sheep in a flock
of 20 will pull down the profit tremen-
dously. A poor sheep will eat as much
or more than a good one and whatever
it eats is an actual loss.

When to Spread Manure,

Barn yard manure should never be
allowed to remain exposed to the ele-
ments until it rots; for by doing SO,
much OF the carbonaceous matter is
lost, thereby lessening the manure'3
humus making power Manure should
be spread upon the land at as early
a date as practicable. Every stable
should have an arrangement whereby
the liquid excrement from the ami
mails can be caught and thus a great
fertility substance saved, which, other
wise, night be lost. Experiment sta
tons have discovered that when ma
hure remains in the yard through the
spring and summer months it 'depre-
'ciates about one-half in value.

Starch Eiends.

A PitEburg steam laundryman, en-
ploying over hundred girls, says that
his profits are slightly reduced by the
starch eating habit that prevails in his
and most other laundries. AS coffee
roasters chew coffee, so laundresses
get a liking for starch. Cases have
been known where girls have eaten
three or four pounds a week. But the
starch habit, unlike the habit of
drugs or of alcohol, benefits the
health. Starch-eating laundresses be.
come plump and robust. Starch, all
the same, costs money, and laundry
owners fight against starch eating as
passionately as teetotalers fight
against beer.

that he becomes a willing auxiliary to
the operation.
All that is necessary in the opera
ton is to keep the tank filled with
the disinfectant and to place it where
the hogs have access to it. The lever
is covered with burlap, and when the
hog rubs against it the action opens a
valve, releasing the contents of the
pipe leading from the disinfectant
tank and spraying it over his back.
This also closes a valve at the base
of the tanks so that the hog will
only get his share of the disinfectant.
When the pressure against the lever
is removed it springs back to its
original position, closing the valve at
the spray head and opening the valve
at the base of the tank. This auto
matically reloads the spray pipe.
