THE Coal FIELDS or TIE UNITED STATES
Professor Rogers has furnished his long
expected work on the Geology of Pcnnsylva :
MIA, and it is issued in the United States and
in England. The English reviewer appears
little aStoni>hcd at the immense coal fields
of the United States beside winch their own
are dimnutive. The Coal fields of Great
Britain are in extent about 5,4OO square miles
Those Of the United States are 1876 $50 square
miles. While the amount of workable coal
IN Great Britain is put down as 10000 600,
600 tons, that of North AmcricL is set down
at 1000 600 900, 900. or % times greater in
amount than the mines of Great Br itain. An
English paper commenting upon these facts
says: when we reflect what has been done
by the produce of the coal fields Of Britain
and then cndravor to anticipate the mining
Of the vast fields Of the United States upon
an extensive scale. we are led to forecaste a
future Of almost houndicss enterprise for that
wonderful country.

PAsrURlNG MEADOW LANDs.-Many far
mers are in the habit Of pastuiing their mead
ows in the fall, and even TIL early in the
spring, especially in open weather. when the
ground is frozen. Any farmer who has COR
rect knowledge Of the main principles Of agri-
culture, must admit that this course should
not be prac,iced. On ordinary farms, mead
ows will not produce more waste feed than
they require 10 protect the plants from the
frost and dronth the following winter and
spring. II the first suckers are cut offat the
ground by stock, vegetation will be defer ed
till very late in the spring, and your crops
will be diminished year after year, till your
meadows are worthless.-G. 3. MILLER, Jeff

A TERRIBLE WEAPoN.-A recently invent
I'd cannon is a brass gun of the usual shape,
mounted on wheels. and SO constructed that a
rotary cylinder constitutes the brccch. which
contains four charges, repleniShcd by means
of hopper, and fired rs rapidly as a man
can work an ordinary lever backward and
forward is sixty rounds per minute. The
piece is discharged by electricity, and from
this results what is believed to be an import
ant and valuable discovery. BY means of the
battery and wires connecting with the cylin-
der by which ignition is caused. the cylinder
becomes perfectly electrified which keeps il
as cool as if constantly bath,d in ice. On
firing two hundred rounds in rapid succession.
at the rate Of about thirty rounds per minute,
it was found that at the end of that time. and
without using the swab once, the breech was
made colder than when the firing commenced.

WHY DON'T You LEARN A TRADE This
question was propoundcd in our hearing, a
few days since, to young man who had oeen
for several months unsucceSsiully seeking
employment as clerk OF salesman in some
of our leading houses. Complaining of his
i'll luck, one of his friends who knew he had
a mechanical talent but doubted whether he
could make himself useful either as clerk
or statesmen, put the ntelrogatory to him
which we have placed as the caption of this
article. The reply was, not so respectable,
as mercantile occupation. Under this de.
lusivc idea, our stores are crowded with young
men who. because Of the fancied rcspectabi.i-
ty Of doing nothing vase away their minori-
ty upon salaries which cannot possibly liqui-
date their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and, before they reach the age of thirty,
many of them look with envy upon the thrift
ty mechanic, whom in the days of their boy
hood, they were accustomed to drride.

The Old Barn.

Rickety. old and crazy,
Shinglclcss, lacking some doors;
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards III the floors;
Beams strung thick with cobwebs,
Ridge pole yellow and gray,
Hanging i'll helpless impotence
Over the mows of hay.
How the winds tore around it
Winds of II stormy day
Scattering the fragrant hay-sccd,
Whisking the straws away;
Streaming in ut the crannirs,
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old gr.ary
Into fl"wery dell.
Oh, how l loved the shadows
That chung to the silent roof,
Day-dreams wove with the quiet
Many a glilterhIg wuof
climbed to the highest rafter.
Watched the swallows at play.
Admired the knots in the boarding,
And rolled in pillows Of hay!
Palace of king coulln't match it!
The Vatican loses its charm
When placed in my memory's balance
Beside OF the gray old ba:n
Splcndor, wealth, may not charm us,
Association is all
We love the loved Of our childhood
Better than marblc-floored hall!
l sat for hours in the summer
On the threshold so gray,
And saw the cows in the pasture
Take their lazy-paccd way:
The lambs SNOW white rs the 6o;sac
Frolicked from hill to tarn-
Or fell asleep in the shadow
Made by tho g clever" old barn.
I've roved DER the Southern country,
Stood in mosques Of the East,
Gallopcd the Western prairics,
Gathered contcntmcnt, at least;
And d rather scent the clover,
Piled in the barns roomy mows,
Than sit in breath Of the highlands
Pouled from Apprninc brows!

Stop THE SuCKER.-Good cows. many times
are in the habit of sucking themselves, and
mang ways are tried IN vain to prevent the
mischief; and young calves are always in the
habit ofsucking each others ears. This may
be prevented by composition of spirits Of
turpentine. musk, and aSafntda. Heat them
all well together, and, when cool, give the
COW large spoonful on the roots of the
tongue then rub little on the cows bag.

continues in the habit, cut off the fingers Of
an old glove. slip these over the teats, and
saturate them well. They may be taken oft
when you SAINT you want to milk. Always
give your patient good taste of the medicine
before you rub it on. Calves may be treated
in the same manner. If musk is not conven-
lent, the composition may be made of spirits
of lurpentine and asafoclida.-A. L. Smith.

granted in all Offences. except high treason
