MOUNTAIN VIEW.

MOUNTAIN VIEW.
John l. Altman, county agent,
of Philippi, was holding farm
ers meeting at Mt. View March
the first. The farmers are cor
daily invited to attend these
farmers meetings and discuss
the various subjects that may
arise in order to be better equip
ped for farming. Farming is
neglected to some extent and the
farmer can be the most indepen-
dent man living, if they will just
turn their attention in that di-
rection, and by giving more at
tention to the farm. We can
make our farms pay us at least
100 per cent more by raising our
farm products. The farmers, |
mean the older class, who should
be on the retired list cleared the
land and raised their support be-
cause the land was new but now
we youngster farmers must
learn how to feed our farms by
using manure of different kinds
and SOW clover rye to pillow I'M
der and that feeds the ground
and we have to use fertilizer and
| think it very necessary to use
lime on some ground where it
has become of a sour nature.
Lime sweetens the land and
makes the plant food available.
| think the farmer makes a
grand mistake when he moves
to town, you ask him why ne
answers you, and by saying ais
farm doesn't pay him, why be-
cause he does not giev it the
proper attention by feeding the
land you simply quit eating and
what is the result? You starve
and die and that is just one rea-
son why our farms don't pay
simply because it does not get
enough to eat, when you live on
a farm and you have it under
good cultivation, and if you get
sick your income is still coming
on, your crop is getting ready
for harvest, but when you go to
town and depend on your daily
labors by working on public
works. If you fall sick, Bro.
Farmer, then where is your in
come? His answer is that his
children have a better to obtain
an education because the town
has nine-months school while
the country has only six months.
Brother Farmer don't you be-
lieve that if the boy was kept on
the farm and taught the princi-
pies of farming in connection to
his going to school they would
be better prepared for the duties
of life because we can't all be
lawyers, doctors, ministers,
teachers, carpenters, railroad
ers, stenographers and telegraph
operators, because you areaware
that each boy has a different
calling in life, so then, l wish to
say regarding the boy in connec-
ton to ur farmers meeting, we
are trying to get the boys organ
lied in to what is called "The
Boys Club" by giving them so
much ground for potatoes, corn
or any other grain they may
wish to grow but Think corn or
potatoes is advisable and then
he can sell his potatoes or corn
as it may be and use the pro-
ceeds to some good purpose, and
by having him at work on the
farm when not in school. You
keep his mind constantly engag-
ed and thus prepare him for the
duties of life, should he choose
to become a farmer instead of
ching a lawyer, doctor, minister,
or any other profession in life;
he then is fully prepared for
the calling in life.

| According to the Weston Free
Press P. K. Teter recently sold to
a coal company at Philippia pair
Of Shetland ponies for use in the
mines. He had heretofore sold
ponies for use in mines at Austin,
Red Rock and McWhorter.
They take the place of mules,
and where the veins of coal are
so low as to make the use of
mules impossible the ponies are
about the only animals which are
usuable.
A New Martinsville justice,
according to the Tyler county
Star, recently awarded a father
$500 damages. The defendant
had represented to the clerk of
the court that the daughter was
% years of age and had thus Sc
cured a marriage license when
the girl in fact was but Is. The
plaintiff, and father of the girl,
j. B. Cross sued Absolom Shreves
for the loss of services and COM
panionship of his minor daugh-
ter and secured Judgment.
In a recent issue the Martins
burg Journal printed the follow
ing: 'Supt. S. j. Louden, of
Green Hill cemetery is one of
those who has had it visibly dem
onstrated that all snakes do not
sleep in the winter. The other
day he had occasion to make a
considerable excavation in order
to remove a body buried years
scince to another location in the
cemetery. He and his men had
dug down about Is inches and
were not a little surprised to dis
cover a garter snake measuring
about q feet. A few inches be-
low this another reptile was I'M
covered and not very from it was
another. The three snakes were
sure enough awake and showed
fight. Anyone would have thought
they would have been sluggish and
stupid, but such was not the case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Harmon hap
pened to be present and verify
Mr.. Loudon's statement.
The Nebraska legislature is con-
sidering a limited suffrage bill.
1t will permit women to vote on
president, municipal officers and
all other elective officials except
those mentioned in the State Con-
stitution. This right the legislat-
ure cannot grant ia any state ex-
cept Delaware. The Nebraska bill
also provides for separate ballot
boxes for women.
From Ohio comes a shout of
glad tidings and the eXultant
thought that Ohio may determine
who shall be the next president
of the United States. The legis-
lature has just given women the
right to vote in presidential cleo
tons. North Dakota passed such |
a law several weeks ago. States
wherein woman have have the |
suffrage now have sc votes in the |
electoral college. The action of
Ohio adds "a votes, making total
of 120. This is enough to swing
any presidential choice, and the
women share this power. Wheth- |
er the Democratic or Republican |
party will receive the allegiance
of the women voters is matter
of conjecture. The solid south |
would do we'll to honor its women
with the vote and place them on
an equal plane of dignity with |
other sections of the country. |
Meanwhile congratulations to the
women of Ohio.

WIDENING THE CHANNEL
OF CHANDLER GREEK

The Denver and Rio Grande Rail
road company has a force Of men en-
ployed in widening the channel of
Chandler creek near the overhead
crossing in West Florence and the
work will require some time. Six
men and seven teams are working
and the creek bed is being widened
and made deeper to accommodate
the large volume of water which
comes rushing down the creek dur
ing the flood season. In all probab-
lity IL will be necessary 10 continue
the work clear down TO the Arkan-
sas river. about half mile distant
The creek has been constant
source OF expense to the company
for many years as well as menace
to property in thst locality. A new
concrete bridge has been construct
ed by the railroad and Il is hoped
that the dredging of the channel will
have the effect OF eliminating the
trouble.-Florence Citizen.
