wells, has been completed today un.
der the direction OF C. H. Evans, of

AS result Fairmont is served by
the most effectively modern heating
and lighting plant designed for the
production and distribution OF natural

plant In the best possible, condition.
Under the. expert direction Of Mr..
Evans large tracts, Of gas lands were
taken up in Marion and, Harrison
counties and developed for. the pur.
pose of increasing the production OF
the company, made necessary by the
remarkable industrial development of
Fairmont. The old wells of the com.
pany have been cleaned and put into
first class condition. More than "a
miles OF. pipe line have been laid and
the city mains cleaned thoroughly and
extended to meet the demands OF the
growing city. a (
The gas company, organized many
years ago when Fairmont was a,coun-

to the prosperity of the! city until now

FILLING PEACH ORCHARDS.

They Should Be Cultivated Throughout
&c. -. E.. Their Entire Life. ..:r
Prepared by the United States depart
ment of agricultural
Generally speaking. a peach orchard
should be TILED throughout its entire
life, beginning with tile first season
after the trees are planted. If for the
sake of economy or for other reasons
it is impra cticable to work the entire
area between the trees it is usually
feasible to confine the tillage for the
first year or two to relatively mar
row strip along each row. But the
Width of the titled strip should he ex-
tended each season, and by the third
year the entire surface should receive
attention. By that time in the life OF
a peach tree the roots are extending
beyond the spread Of the branches and
the entire space between the rows
where the trees have been planted the
usual distances apart is rapidly be-
coming filled with small rootlets and
root hairs through which moisture and
plant food in solution are taken up.
Under what may be termed normal
or standard conditions in most peach
growing districts the advice applies
generally to begin the tillage in the
spring as soon as the soil is in suitable
condition to work. But in the case of
bearing orchards some of the wisest

peasantry, consisting of pure. vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit

in this country by George H. Mayr. who
for twenty years has been one Of the

use. So quick and effective is its action
that single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases, and nlanv people who
have tried~it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in SO short time 1t is known
as Mayr,s Wonderful Remedy and can

and most experienced growers prefer
to wait until after the fruit has set
before they begin in the belief that the
results Of earlier tillage may influence
adversely the setting of the fruit. The
presence Of cover crop, it's character
and the needs Of the soil with refer
ence thereto are other factors that
may influence the date of beginning
the tillage.
Conditions should determine what
the nature of the tillage shall be. If
the soil is hard or if there is a cover
crop that has made considerable
growth. it will be necessary to turn
the soil with plow and follow with a
harrow. cutivator or such other tillage
implement as best suits the needs of
individual orchards. If the soil is light
blowing in the spring can sometimes
be omitted as some type of cultivator
will be found adequate to pulverize
thoroughly the soil to a sufficient
depth. Whatever the details followed
may be. they should be so directed as
to keep the surface as level as posi-
BILE. For instance, if the soil is plowed
toward the trees at one time it should
be turned away from them at a later
blowing.
In general the orchard should be-
gone over with some kind of tillage
implement often enough to keep the
soil thoroughly light and loose, or. in
<1o oc 1,,et
mulch for a depth Of at least three or
four inches. If a crust forms on the
surface or if the dust mulch becomes
compact evaporation of the moisture
that is in the soil will become excess
sively rapid and an unnecessary and
perhaps serious loss of moisture which
is needed by the trees will occur. As
the surface is made compact by rain. it
follows that tillage is advisable as a
rule after each rainy period or after
heavy showers; also as much more
frequently as the impaired condition of
the dust mulch may make necessary.
In irrigated orchards tillage should
generally follow soon after each appn-
cation of water.
Tillage operations are usually con-
tinued, except in special cases. until
midseason-the last of July or the first
Of August. By that time the growth
Of the trees for the season will have
!. been largely made, fruit buds for the
next seasons crop will have begun to-
form, the fruit of, the { midseason
varieties will have completed a large
proportion of its growth, and the later
varieties will finish their development
during a period when less moisture +
required for the various functions OF
the tree than earlier in the season. =

In considering the matter OF barns It
is well to study carefully how closely

dairy COW does her best In the early
part OF the summer when on a good
pasture. The maximum production
reached ut this season is possibly large
ly on account OF the excellence OF the
food. but at the same time the animal
enjoys moderate temperature and
clean. comfortable surroundings. There
Is an abundance OF fresh air and sun
light, and the COW has perfect free
dom OF movement. Keep these cOndi-
tons as near as possible in the barn,
and good results will follow. A COW

WOMAN'S WORK
With POULTRY

II has often been proven that women
are better workers with poultry than
men. Being endowed with a gentle
disposition, more tender heart, more
patience and motherly instincts, they
possess the necessary qualification for
successful poultry work.
Women are more pains taking than
men. They have greater tendency to
watch the chickens closer, and will hear
their every cry of want. Women as a
rule are cleaner than men, the water
vessels will be scalded oftener, the food
prepared better and the finished pro-
duct marketed nicer. They seem to
take to the work naturally and there is
scarcely a woman but what enjoys
handling and working with chickens.
On our farms for years past the
women have had charge Of the poultry
entirely. The men think they are too
trifiing a matter to require any of their
attention. This should not be, while
the good house wife will possibly al
ways attend to the flock, there are
many things that she can not do and
she could succeed much better if the
husband would give her little of his
spare time. He could make brood
coops, keep the hen-house in good con-
dition, white-wash things a little how
and then and show some appreciation
for the good work the better-half is
carrying on.
1t has been noticed that some of our
best poultry exhibits of the country
have been made by women. They seem
to know when the fowls feathers look
the best and how to prepare. them to
have them retain their good looks.
Many women today who have a small
space of ground or even farm are
wondering what they could do to make
living for themselves. there is no
better way than in the poultry business.
One woman without much house work
to do can care for five hundred fowls,
and five hundred fowls handled right
will net nice profit.
Many a woman has sacrificed her
time from the house in order TO try to
encourage a son to raise poultry, hop
ing thereby to be able 10 keep HIM on
the farm. II more Of our mothers
would do this, more Of the young men
of today would stay on the farm. Even
if they did not they would learn some
lessons from the poultry business and
from that dear, good mother that would
be beneficial TO them no matter where
