A hog will thrive According TO the
food you give it. 1t will make pork
according to the quality of food. Thus
corn is better than other grain; old
corn better than new corn. Beechnuts
will make a soft oily pork; the acorn
bitter, it is said; and We know that 1t
is matter of world wide notoriety that
otfal spOils pork.


How is it then with the pen, recking
constantly with odors..the hog wallo.w-
ing III its own filth


Here Is an aspect that we overlook.


There Is always more or less of tho ex-


cretis of the animal taken with its food.


SOmetlmes-aud this we have often


seen-the trough is watered and lined


with ii, the animal urinating in the
trough


Now all this has decided effect upon
the pork. which is, from necessity, more
or less tainted by it. We are not eating
good pork. We are not keeping it well;
such pork will not keep. The difficulty
is laid to the putting down, or to some
other cause, when it is In great meas
ure, and sometimes wholly, owing to
the manufacture; the putrcseent matter
is absorbed in the feeding. ID,


To prevent all this, or at least III
great measure, so as to get fair, and
what we may deem a good quality OF
pork, there must be cleanliness. And
the hog, though hog, has still some OF
the original politeness lett which NO
doubt distinguished him ere he had ia
ken to the ditch He will select a clean,
dry place, and it is this trait that must
be taken advantage of. He must be
permitted TO have a clean place where
he can be clean and dry, but also cool,
or he will wallow. A separate apart.
ment to sleep or rest in is the best and
the surest way. He will seldom foNl

straw is put in aud changed as often as
required. This he will have as his par

the other compartment kept free from
odors and moisture; this by using alb
sorbents. Dried muck is a common re-
sort. Dried ssw-dust is also good, AID
even ground-anything that will take
mp odors and moisture. Use ground
that is dry, or dust from the road. Have
o pile ready to use, and keep using as
occa sion requires. If there is but one
compartment treated in this way, il
can be kept odorless and dry, and piggy
will appreciate it, and aid in the mat,
ter by keeping his corner and himself
clean.


Here you will be making manure
three times the amount of its first
worth. You will have a great nuisance
abated, the hog pen (in its orderO ano
you will have clean pig worth loo king

There will be little difficulty about

Although the hay crop for this season
is now gathered, it would be well for
every farmer to begin now to prepare
for the next. There are few meadows
that will continue to yield remuners-
tive crop without an application of some
kind of fertilizing material, but what
this shall be must be determined by cir
cumstances. We would prefer barnyard
manure, but there are many other ma
terials that will do good and pay the
farmer we'll for applying them. 1t will
not answer to put on a very heavy coat
of any coarse substance at this season,
but light dressing of ashes, bone, or
fiHe pulverized muck, leaf mould, or
manure will give the grass fresh start
this fall and materially increase the
crop next season.


There is time just after harvest when
the farmer is not so crowded with work
as he is later in the season, when he
may proftably enrich his meadows. 1t
is much cheaper to keep up the fertility
of grass land by pop dressings than to
plow up every four or five years, as is
practiced in many sections of the coun-
try by those who are called good farmers.
If the soil is good at the start, and is
kept 80 by frequent applications to the
surface, there is little danger of grass
running Out.-EC.

Without desiring, for moment, to
detract from all that is real and attrac-
tive in fruit growing, 1 must confess
myself at times disposed to laugh at
the gullibility of those who swallow
sensation stories" as call them, rela-
tive thereto. Instance: one man has
grown a square rod of ground in straw
berries, counted up all he sold, guessed
at what his children and neighbors
gathered, and figured it that by doing
as he has done any man grow acres and
net him, by similar care, just $4,000 per
acre.


which the writer had simply planted his
vines in good garden land-nothing said
Of what had grown in and how the soil
had been manured for years previous
and by just one OF two hoeings and care
full mulching he had realized so and so
Just abeut six times as much as any
one else ever did! Nothing is told Of
the cost of mulching, which cannot be
done at less than fifty dollars per acre,
and has to be repeated yearly anew, be-
side the labor of removal for hOeing and
again replacing.


To-day l was reminded of some of
these fancy one-horse writers-just
those who know no more than a rod-of-
ground culture-by visiting a gentle
mans young dwarf pear orchard, in
which he called my attention to one
tree on which was growing fifty tWo per-
feet specimens of pears but the whole
orchard of eight hundred trees beside it
had not as many more. He spoke of it,
saying: "Now, if were writer, and
had only this one tree, what yarn |
could make by putting my crep of this
tree forward and counting thereby an
acre or more! Whewp Well, the fools
are not all dead yet; but here are eight
hundred trees, all set three years since,
and on the balance of the eight hun
dred net as many pears can be counted
as on this tree; and yet here are two
hundred trees of this some sort on the
plot, all of which have received the
same care.

We learn from responsible source
that the Marion county Board of Regis
tration have resolved to register no
more names in that county prior to the
October election. Under the law it is
the duty of the Boards at the regular
| meeting on the first Monday in October,
to hear appeals from township regis
trars, to try the cases of parties duly
notified to appear before them for trial,
and to reeeire original applications from
parties who may show good Cause for not
having applied to the township regis
trars. We quote as follows from sec
ton 80 of the Registration Law:


81. The regular meeting of the board
of registration of each county shall be
held at the county seat thereof on the
first Monday in October in each year,
1t shall be the duty of the said board at
such regular meeting to hear, try and
determine all appeals from the decisions
of registrars, taken by persons whose
applications for registration have been
rejected; also to hear, try aud deter
mine the cases of all persons upon whom
notice has been served as provided
for in the preceding section, and to re-
ceire, act upon, and decide original dpph-
ca tions for registration in cases where the
applicant shows good cause for not
having made such application to the
registrar of his township or ward.


Clearly, then, the Marion county
Board have violated the law in resolving
to register no names at its October
meeting. A plainly defined duty has
been shirkedS an explicit provision of
the law has been set aside; the Board
have become law unto themselves.


Were the Governor of the State dis
posed to do his duty in this matter, such
monstrous derelictions would not be
tolerated. As it is, the Board and others
will repeat their iniquitous disfranchise-
ment whenever they deem proper. The
failure of the Executive to restrain them
is their warrant of approval. Depend
upon it, they will act on it.


This Marion county Board is part
of the FOREMAN legacy. Governor STE
vENsoN had it in his power to prevent
repetition in Marion county OF the
registration enormities which occurred
there under his predecessor. He did
not do so. If men are to be judged by
their acts, he preferred not to do so.
And now asSthe legitimate result, we
see the most disgracefG measures of
disfranchisement matured and put in
operation.


Can it be possible that liberal Repub'
licans can witness these things without
protesting against them' They profess
to regard the prescription of rebels as
not only useless but an unjust and a
dangerous act. And yet the unlawful ,
arbitrary disfranchisement of men as
much entitled to vote as themselves is
perpetrated almost under their we're
noses, without their remonstrance.
Surely they could exert some inhuenc
in preventing these disgraceful acts if
they would.

tages resulting from she construction OF
so great work.


This road should be, beyond all ques-
tion, the most beneficial to the material
interests of West Virginia, of any now
in contemplation, 1t will pass through
and develop vast region, stored with
incalculable wealth. Timber, coal, iron,
salt and other minerals fill the Kanawha
valley and need but An outlet to bring
back to that country such retnrBs as
will make the people rich and prosper
GUS beyond their utmost expectations.
With the completion of this road, giving,
as it will, Southern and Central West
Virginia direct and easy access to the
seaboard and the West, We ought to see
the vast manufacturing facilities Of the
country thoroughly utilized. Its rich
but untenanted farming lands
should be brought to notice, pur-
chased and settled. Immigrants should
flow in with great rapidity as the ad-
vantages of the county become known,
and the Kanawha Valley should soon
become the centre of West Virginia
wealth and population. And should it
be determined to remove the Capital to
Charleston, it cannot be denied that the
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio
road, with the certainty that it must be
tapped by another road, bisecting the
State North and South, may have its
weight in finally reconciling the people
to change that now seems ill-advised
and premature.


Yet one thing We lack, one thing we
must have before internal i'm
provements can have their proper influ-
ence in building up our State. We went
free, liberal and progressive Govern
ment. Prescription, intolerance and
disfranchisement will 90 very far to-
ward neutralzing the beneficial effects
of public enterprises. We have already
railroad connections from the Northern
portions of the State with the West,
North and East. The Baltimore and
Ohio road weekly carries its hundreds
of immigrants through the State, but
none stop to hunt homes in our midst
No capitalist now brings his money to
this part of West Virginia for invest
ment; our manufacturing sites are unoc-
cupied; our water power scarcely turns a
factory wheel and our minerals slumber
in the earth. We cannot help thinking
the policy of the State in so prescribing
her people as to drive hundreds of
them out of the State, has had its effect
in keeping men of other sections from
coming into the State. Capital and en-
terprise shun localities where legisla.
tion is arbitrary and oppressive. The
known tendency of bad laws such as
our to make bad citizens, causes people
to be cautious about settling in State
governed like ours.


Let us reform all this. AS public i'm
provements progress in our midst let
us also progress. Let US lift our legis-
lation above the sphere of prejudice.
make it broad, liberal, just, and thus

saws that the Indians who have been kept on
