examination the monstrosity was j c
found to bo perfectly formed except I d
the head which was of unusual large ! t
proportions and which just above the , a
eyes commenced to assume a double ; it

well developed noses and mouths and , g
can take its food from either mouth t
and breathes from four nostrils. The I p
/ bovine appears to be in perfect health j v
iand great care is being exercised by j a
the owner as he is anxious to see just d
what it will develop into. The calf has j
been visited by hundreds of curious 11
people and many tempting offers have j d
been made the owner of the animal who ; t
refuses to sell at any price at the pres f

by an Angus cow and is perfectly black | d
in color. It is feminine in sex.

Vas Very Successful From
Start to Finish.
The Great Golden Festival of the
Vost Virginian is over! One of the
tost interesting subscription camaigns,
as well as successful ever eonucted
by a newspaper in the state of
Vest Virginia came to a close Saturday
night at 9 o'clock, when the judges
ook charge of the locked and scaled i
inllot box at the Golden Festival of-1
ice.
It was some seven weeks ago that 1
he West Virginiain announced to the j
ublic that it would give away a small j
ortune in gold to the people who se- j
ured the most votes in the Golden I
'estival. It is to be regretted that all 1
ould not win prizes, but of course that I
. as impossible. For those who have 1
ut in days and weeks of hard work I
nd at the end failed to receive the \
rlze for which they have striven, the
,'ork has not been waBted. The rule3 j
rovided for a cash commission of ten
er cent, to he paid those who rematnd
active and who do not win a prize
t the end.
Fairness and Friendliness.
The campaign has bee 1 marked thru 1
ut by the spirit or friendliness. Friend
forked against friend, neighbor
gainst neighbor, and those candidates
hu were loss successful will rejoice
dth the winners of I he big prizes. All
he candidates have expressed their
ppreciation of the grand opportunity
fforded them during the big campaign,
nd at 110 time during the life of the
lolden Festival did an unpleasant cirumstance
arise to mar it. The candiales
have renewed old acquaintances
nd made new ones, in tlieir quest for
otes. and the cordial treatment reelved
on all sides was gratifying ineed.
At the outset, it was aunounced
hat tile campaign would be unusual,
nd the West Virginian believes that
t has kept its word. Rules laid down
t the outset wero strictly enforced
hroughout the campaign. Everyone
ias treated with the same absoluto
airness. At the close the West Virlnian
believes everyone is satisfied
hta he or she received absolutely imartial
treatment, and that the people
rlio won were entitled to the prizes
warded them, by the hard work they
ill to earn the different awards.
The West Virginian wishes to take !
his opportunity to thank all the can- j
idates and their friends tor the work
hey have done, as well as the public
or their loyal support the West Vir-j
inian has received through the can- j
luuivrt.
Additional thanks is due tlie three
entlemen who were so kind as to of- j
iclate as judges. The final account-1
ug of the mountainous pile of ballots
taB no easy job. The report of the
udges, the prize winners, and the re- j
ult of the judge's final court appears
a this issue.

By A GARDNER.
We need a larger crop ot potatoes
this year than ever before, so every
gardener should have murder in his j
heart when he sees a potato bug on his '
plants or a cluster of yellow eggs on |
the under side of a potato leaf.
If you see eggs or hug. hill the bug, I
break off the egg-laden leaf, and burn j
it or thoroughly smash it so the eggs ;
are destroyed.
In spraying for potato buys prompt-1
nesa is important. Hugs which are just
hatched can be killed with a spray of!
one-third, or one-half the strength re-i
quired after they are three or four days i

The old recommendation Is one I
pound qjr Paris green to 100 or 150 gal- j
Ions of water. But this nssumestthat l
you are spraying newly hatched hugs, j
It is better to make the mixture a Utile
stronger and be 011 the safe side.
A fine-hole can sprinkler will do for 1

vented by adding a pound of slaked
lime to each pound of Paris green, but
if it is a good reliable brand of Paris
green you should have no fear of burning
the leaves, unless you make it too
strong.
Mix just before using and keep the
can well shaken while you spray. Keep
the mixture out of the reach of children,
for it is poisonous.
Spray as early as the plants come
up. There may be potato hugs busy
before you catch them at it.
If you can't or don't want to spray,
take a can and a Rtick. and go along
your potato rows looking for bugs and
eggs. Knock them into the can and
destroy them.
If your soil hasn't been used recent
ly the chances are you will not be bothered
with these bugs, unless your
neighbor had a lot of them In his garden
last year.
The cabbage worm can be controlled
by the use of Paris green at the rate
of one pound to BO gallons of water, or
you can use arsenate of lead (also
poisonous) at the rate of four pounds
to 60 gallons of water.
Spray several timeB on the young
plants before the heads are well formed.
