I have been encouraged BY many
friends to believe that there is = health
ful sentiment among my party aslo-
ciates that become q candidate for
State Senator TO succeed Hon. A. c.
McIntire, whose term Of Office expires
at an early date.
/ haYe hesitated to make an effort to
ascertain how pronounced this sefti-
ment may be for my election to this
important and honorable Office until this
time; but now. this eneoHrag cement has
become 80 increased and persistent that
/ am constrained to indite this letter,
to the end that any Democrat In the
Counties of Jefferson, Berkeley, Nor
gan and Hampshire may, If he desires,
advise and give me an expression Of his
views relative to my candidacy.
No one Is more keenly alive than I
am to the great responsibility that viii
rest upon the Legislature Of West Vir-
ginia in the coming Session, because Of
the vital questions (which I shall not
attempt to discuss here) that must be
solved, which will have a far reaching
effect upon the prosperity Of our people
for generation or more.
It will be conceded that the next
Senator should be from Hampshire
County. because Of the system Of rota-
tion that obtains by common consent
among the Counties of this Senatorial
District. I, shall have no contention
with any Democrat who may become a
candidate for this Office, becaused it is
one clothed with dignity and great re
sponsibility, and any citizen might well
feel it an honor to represent his district
in the State Senate.
am deeply grateful, and take this
method of thanking those persons who
have manifested their confidence in me
by offering to me their support for this
responsible Office, and l shall be very
grateful to any Democrat who has suf-
ficiens interest in naming q State Sem
ator to personally assist me in my can
didacy. Yours very truly,
G. K. KUMP.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Cost of Producing Pork.

Experiment at the Illinois experiment
station shows that hog can be made
to weigh about 500 pounds when about
eight months old on approximately
200 pounds of feed when fed in
dry lot. Thus it is seen that pound
of pork can be made at the cost of four
pounds of feed under dry lot condi-
tons. 1t is thought this might be i'm
proved upon when hogs are fed Oh
pasture. but this phase of the subject
has not as yet been thoroughly worked
out at the station.
If it is considered that feeds can be
grown on the farm at the rate of one
half cent per pound. pork could be pro-
dueed at the rate Of 2 cents per pound
for amount of feed consumed in terms
of gains made by the hogs. leaving out
of consideration the labor involved in
feeding If it costs cent per pound
10 produce the feed, then pork will cost
at the rate of cents per pound of
gain made by the hogs. If feeds are
purchased at the rate of ~ cents per
pound it would then cost cents per
pound to make pork under dry lot con-
ditions.

SURFACE DRAINAGE OF
ROADS Is IMPORTANT.
Professor Davidson of Iowa Agricul.
turaI College Tells What to Do.

Professor J. r. Davidson of the Iowa
Agricultural college. who is an authori-
ty on the drainage of highways to those
interested in the obstruction of good
roads. says that al! roads should be
provided with surface drainage.
The cross section should be of such
shape as to shed all rain at once to the
side bitches To do this the road must
be oval or have a crown and must be
smooth. The first of these is matter
of construction and the latter matter
of maintenance. The side drainage sys-
tenn should be called upon to carry as
much water as possible. Water cannot
be carried away by the tile drains I'M
til the water has sunk through the soil
and softened it.
The crown of a road should be sufh-
cient to shed the water readily. Ii the
road is to be maintained and kept free
from ruts and holes less crown will do
than If the road is to be neglected The
Iowa highway commission recommend
ed a slope one inch to foot for
crown in the Travelled way. This is
sufficient for most conditions The
crown should not be too great
A steep crown causes the travel to
be concentrated at the center. where
ruts will be worn and washing result.
Again. there is some difficulty in vehi-
cles passing On the side of the crown
the wheels Of the vehicles have tend
ency to grind the, road down. This ac-
ton. tcgei her with the swerving or
flow action of the lower part of the
wheel has very marked effect.
The sleeper the slope Of the road the
more Important tie crown, for there Is
a tendency for the water TO run down
the track rather than 20 the side. Ii
water once begins To run down the cen
ter of the roadway it Is but a short
time until the road is quilted out.

One day through the primeval wood
A calf walked home as good calves should.
But made a trail all bent askew.
A crooked trail. as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years have fed.
And infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind his trail,
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
BY lone dog that passed that way.
And then wise bell weather sheep
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep
And drew the flock behind him too.
AS good bellweathers always do.
And from that day DER hill and glade
Through those old woods path was made.
And many men wound In and out
And lodged and turned and bent about
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path.
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first migrations Of that calf
And through this winding woodway stalked
Because he wabbled when he walked

BoOTLEGGERS TO BUILD ROAD

Barton County Plans to Get Return For
Food Consumed.
A plan to make bootleggers respect
the law and to aid the development of
the roads has been adopted by Barton
county, Ga.
Convictions for the illegal sale of
liquor have put the county to great ex--
pense to house and feed the prisoners,
and now the court has decreed that
the bootleggers will be sentenced to
work on the county roads, and the tax
payers will get some return for the
expense of feeding them.
