the stables be kept clean. This can
be easily done by having cement

as possible. 500 to 1000 cubic feet OF
air space should be allowed each COW
The plans should be drawn with two
principles in mind: convenience and
simplicity. He emphasized the inn

question. The milk house, he said.
should be a sufficient distance from
the barn to prevent the oders contain
mating the milk. Among the essen
tials in the handling of the herd are
kindness. study of the individual ami
mails, system. regularity and work.
For greatest profits in most lines of
dairying is is we'll to breed the cows
so that they will freshen in the fall,
as it is during the winter that prices
are best and animals can be given
more attention. With COWS freshen-
ing in the fall. spring grass will slim

flow for longer period.
The cows in the herd should be
fed and cared for as individuals. They
should be fed according to the milk
they produce. 1t is we'll to water
twice day, as a rule. and the water

place SO they can have access to it
daily. The best results are obtained
when the cows are MIXED at a GER

milking are about equal. The cows
should be MIXED in the same con
secutive order and by the same milk
ers as far as possible. 1t is importan,
that the COW is not excited. The sue
cess of the dairy will depend largely
upon the system and regularity in al

The average old-time farmer was prone to look
upon bad roads as necessary evil. He realized
in sense what detriment they were to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not any way out of the demma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give. Then along came the United States gov
eminent. when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced. and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition. This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery. And, at about the same time the farm
ers, who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found as they
looked closer. that bad roads meant hole i'm the
pocketbook OF every tiller of the soil II began
to be realized that IL farmer required the serv.
Ices of four horses and an entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss 70 him just as serious as though he had
to accept very low price for the yield of his
acres. Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer In behalf of better roads.
One OF the best things accom- pIished for the
farmer by good roads is that It has broadened
his markets. With rocky muddy highways en-.
forcing slow progress the average farmer was I'm
the old days restricted to market town-the
one nearest his farm. Now with good roads he
can in shorter interval than was formerly re.
CURED reach any one of several communities To-
Gated i'm different directions. This enables him
20 attain the market where he can get the best
prices summary with good roads the farmer is
not likely TO be so restricted to railroad for
shipping facilities II the road nearest his farm
Will not give him the cars he needs or otherwise
play fair ne most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to a rival line
And the very fact that the introduction OF good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
TO render the railroads more obliging to their
farmer clients.

Hon. Victor A. Lewis, West Virginia
state librarian and historian, speaks
Interestingly Of the progress made in
the department of archives.
The department is growing rapid
ly, said Mr.. Lewis, there being over
$4,000 volumes of pamphlets, all OF
value to the state. People have little
idea, generally speaking, of the vast
amount of history and other material
relating to them and to those who
have gone on before, collected and
brought into this department. The
books cover a wide range of literature
the rarely of them being an important
feature, many hundred of them being
out of print for half a century and
more.
Especially have we been active in
securing the works of all West Vir-
ginia authors. and of all others who
have written about West Virginia. In
the department we have sections de-
voted to the various religious denomi-
nations and fraternal organizations. -
BY way of explanation, Mr.. Lewis
continued, by archives we mean all
papers and documents that relate to
the administration of the state govern
ment and to social, moral and religious
lie OF the people In the department
the history and archives of every
American state are represented This
may be said o the nations as well.
THE museum section is a rare col
lection of archaeology, geology, relics
and curios. There are 90 large show
cases containing about $4,000 archae-
logical specimens, including many OF
the stone age, while there are 800
geological specimens and several hun
dred curios, relics, utensils, and i'm
plements which were in use by gen.
erationo now extinct, including the
moundbuilders and various tribes of
Indians.
While the work in the department
is constantly growing, it is neverthe.
less to be enjoyed, for the reason that
IL is always intensely interesting and
inspiring"
Asked in regard to the military rec
ords of the state, Mr. Lewis stated
that they had never been published.
but that he vas at present putting
them in form and all are undergoing
careful research and editing, to the
end that these published volumes Will
add greatly to the library section.

May Establish Steel Plant in West


WAY ESTABLISH steel Plant in West
Virginia.
Baltimore papers have been making
1t appear that Thomas G. Brady, of
Clarksburg. temporarily residing in
Washington, is at the head of a com
pany which expects to establish a big
new steel plant at Baltimore. Mr..
Brady was in Baltimore few days
ago and inspected some property suit
able for site for a steel mill. but did
it for other parties and not for him
self
Mr.. Brady controls big deposit of
iron ere in Cuba, which could be
placed in Baltimore at less cost than
ores from the lakes can be put in
Pittsburg. and is negotiating for its
sale to parties who may establish a
plant on the eastern coast. If Mr..
Brady's advice is accepted, the pur-
chasers of this ore will establish a
plant in West Virginia, where coal and
limestone can be assembled cheaper
than anywhere else.
