BOnham Gets Life Term

The trial of Lawrence Bonham
for the murder Of Lyle Paxton
and the arguments Of counsel
was concluded on last Friday af-
ternoon and the jury was only
out a short time when they re-
turned with a verd ct Of murder
in the first degree, with the rec
ommendation Of a life sentence in
the penitentiary instead Of hang
ing. A motion for a new trial
was made but overruled by the
court and the defendant WAS Civ
en- a stay of ninety days in which
to make application to the Su-
preme Court of appeal he shall
be advised by his counsel to take
such curse.
Young Bonham was ably de-
fend by E. l.. Stone and J. L.
Wolfe OF Ripley; prosecuting at
torney Ferguson was assisted in
the prosecution by Ran and Bog
CESS of the local bar; it would
hardly be fair to the defendant
to comment on the verdict of the
jury at this tine and about all
We can say would be to use the
language Of Tom Ryan in his
closing argument when he turned
to the young man and said:
You killed two good citizens of
Roane county in two minutes.
you poor unfortunate wretch. -

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station Gives Re-
suits of Test.
By ROBERT w1rHYcoMR Of Easter,

(By ROBERT WITHYCOMB OF Eastern
Oregon Experiment Staton)
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with a grain ra-
ton has been carried on with inter
estlng results.
The hogs in the experiment were d.
vided into eight lots and records of
the different feed given each and the
proportionate gains made were kept
carefully. Each hog In lots l and Q
ate an average OF 170.1S pounds of
barley and 50953 pounds of raw DO
tatoes, making a gain In weight of
500 pounds. Those in lots 3 and 4
ate 1000 pounds OF barley and
66S.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made gain Of 1850 pounds, while
those in lots and ate 1880
pounds barley and 564S0 pounds
steamed potatoes and made a gain of
1910 pounds Lots and s ate 300
pounds barley without potatoes and
made a gain OF 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone.
were used as a check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value Of the potatoes. At the
present market value OF z cents a
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley
made S3.S7 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $162 to the hun
bred.
Lots l and fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate OF three pounds
OF potatoes to a pound OF barley, made
a 1925 gain. which gives the raw
potatoes a feeding value of 2s cents
to the hundred. Lots and 4 receiv-
Ing six times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made $494 gain,
giving tho steamed potatoes a feeding
value OF AZ cents to the hundred
Lots and fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$5.47 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes AZ cents TO the hun
dred.
1t Is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others, but 1t required 1926 pounds
less barley to make this gain. SO the
difference in feeding value is &C
counted for.
1t Is also noteworthy tina. the steam
potatoes are worth 10 cents more to
the hundred than raw for feeding. as
shown In the comparison Of the gain
OF animals fed the 3-to-1 ration.

MULCHIkG SOIL TO
RETAIN MOISTURE
Sprinkling Pot Should Be Thrown
Away When Water Becomes
Scarce Quantity.
tBy L. NJ. BENN1NGroN.)


When water gets scarce throw away
your watering pot. or rather your
sprinkling pot. At such time It is
a monace to the life OF the flowers
when in the hands OF the novice who
"scatters pearly. drops" upon the
flowers stalks, and gives the roots
none.
Remember that when water is
scarce the spade or hoe can do won
ders when in the hands OF the ener-
getic person who knows how to use
these tools.
Deeply. dug soil retains moisture
far longer than that stirred to q
shallow depth.
Keep the surface soil loose and
light. giving the plants a surface or
dust mulch with a sharp hoe.
Mulches Of all kinds are beneficial
fallen leaves, weeds pulled from
the garden. lawn clippings.
Potted plants should be thoroughly
watered so that the heart of the roots
receives its share of moisture. Bed
ded plants. however, can exist with.
out watering. but If you give them
any, give them plenty.
The lawn should never be "sprin-
kled." but If possible let the hose run
on 1t for hours after sunset. Unless
one has an unlimited supply of wa
ter do not water the lawn, but save
the water for the bed borders and

Bull Moose

AT a meeting of the Progress
i've Executive Committee Of Writ
County, held at Elizabeth, w. Va.
on the 18th day Of October, A. y.
1913. the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved; That we extend
congratulations to Hon. Joseph
c. Hand'an, of Wheeling, our
new chairman of the State Pro
gressive Executive Committee,
and we pledge him our party
fealty and support, and we up
hold his hand in all things done
by him for the advancement of
the party.
Resolved: That we pledge
ourselves to support the platform
and principles Of the Progressive
party as adopted at Chicago,
August 9Th 1912.
Resolved: That we recognize
in Theodore Roosevelt the Moses
of the common people, and we
pledge ourselves and all our in
fluence to support him for any
office the party mag desire 10 put
into his hands.
Resolved: That it is the in
tention of the Progressive party
of Writ County to place before
the people at the election in 1914,
a full County ticket for all such
officers the people of the County
are entitled to elect at that cleo
ton.
Unanimously adopted by the
Committee.
B. T. Board, Chairman,
F. A. Gilmore. Secretary.
The above resolutions are proof
positive, that the Progressive
Party, in this county, is very
much alive. Its the best organ
lied party in Old Writ, at the
time. 1t has the most aggressive
leaders and the best campaign
orators, and its rank and file is
composed very largely of the
bone and sinew Of the county,
and when the campaign opens,
next year, watch it make the two
old parties sit up and take notice.
-Edi.or-Kanawha News.
The above resolutions, coming
from county where the Pro-
gressive ticket beat the Republi-
can ticket to the tune of about
three to one, are good evidence
that the Bull Moose is still on
deck, notwithstanding the efforts
of Stand Patters to put it in
irons.

PREPARE ANIMALS
FOR BEST RETURNS
Most Common Mistake Among
Farmers Is in Selling Product
Only Half Finished.

1t Is astonishing to observe during
visit to the stock yards how little
care most farmers take in condition.
ing their animals for market. The
most common mistake Is made In
selling animals that are half finished.
Fully rs per cent OF all the animals
sold reach the markets In an unfln-
ished condition. This, more than any
thing else, is probably accountable
for the common belief that there Is
no money in feeding livestock Some
times stock is sold because grain is
high. At other times the available
supply Of feed has been consumed be-
fore the stock is conditioned, but
more frequently perhaps, many feed
ers do not understand what we'll.
conditioned means. With some feeders
1t is a case OF going with the crowd.
No amount OF reasoning can over
come the influence of that old proverb
that a bird in the hand is worth two
In the bush. II is true unless a man
is a good shot II he has Judgment
and nerve he can just as we'll bag
two birds at one shot as to miss the
one. II he has plenty OF feed and

In a poorly finished condition to save
a few bushels OF corn. Whether he

1t is the last few bushels OF feed
required to get them up to the proper
weight that brings the best returns.

ROMAN ARCHITECTURE.

1t was largely their development
of the dome and the arched roof in
masonry that enabled the Romans to
build on a scale Of daring and mag
nificence which has not been sur
passed in our modern age of steel.
Recent excavations in Nero's palace
have revealed five subterranean
yaulted rooms in the proximity of
the dining room, which were built
as fish tanks and used to keep fish
alive for the use Of the imperial
table. The vault and the dome or
round roof Of the Romans served the
purpose of the modern I-beam and
latticed roof girder as used by the
present-day architect and engineer.

We Lead in Gas Production

In 1912 West Virginia main
tanned its lead Of the last four
years in the quantity of natural
gas produced and supplied for
consumption, and this produc-
ton, according to David T. Day,
Of the United States Geological
Survey, could be largely increas-
ed. as many of the wells are clos
ed in for future use or for lack of
a market.
The total quantity of natural
gas produced in West Virginia in
1912 is estimated by the United
States Geological Survey at 239, :
O8S. 068, 600 cubic feet, valued at
$3S, $40. Cpl. compared with $2O6, :
800. 576. 600 cubic feet, valued at
$28. 435, GOT. in 1911. The guam
tity of gas piped out Of West Vir-
ginia in 1912 to supply consumers
in other States amounted to 100,
382. TIC, 600 cubic feet, valued at
$22, 060, 697 at the points of con-
sumption, compared with 126, =
OBI, 9Sl, 600 cubic feet, valued at
So, 1885, in 1911. Of the to-
tai quantity of gas exported from
West Virginia in 1912, about so
billion cubic feet was piped to
Pennsylvania, about 65 billion
cubic feet to OHIO, and the re-
mainder to Kentucky; but it is
expected that before the close of
the year 1913 gas will pc piped
from the fields of Lewis and
Harrison counties to supply con-
sOmers in several towns in India.
The total quantity of natural
gas consumed in West Virginia
in 1912 was 81, 402, 248, 600 cubic
feet, vslued at $7,001, 331. Of
this total there was consumed for
domestic purposes 16, $50, IT'S, 600
cubic feet, valued at 1880, 628,
an average price Of 1911 cents
per thousand cubic feet; for man
ufacturing purposes SO, 189, S20,-
600 cubic feet, valued at 50, $685.
754, an average price of 5.07 cents
per thousand cubic feet; and for
power and field purposes 20, 031,-
$50, 900 cubic feet valued 81, OIL
949, an average price of 5.35
cents per thousand cubic feet.
Drilling was verv active thru
out the oil and gas fields of West
Virginia in 1912. and of 1.O19
wells completed only 149 were
dry holes. And at the close of the
year there were 1888 gas wells
In the State, and the producing
territory extended over a large
area.
From the figures presented by
Mr. Parker's report it is evident
THAI West Virginia is Likely to
remain a great gas-producing
State.
