a rod, and. by one downward stroke of
this, the nail is cleanly driven INTO the

Pennsylvania Coal FIeLdS.-the fearful
loss of good material involved in min
ing and preparing anthracite, though
greatly TO be deplored, seems TO be al
most inevitable. The disposition of
the coal in large, solid beds and highly
inclined positions involves strong sup
ports to keep the superincumbent mass
from crushing and closing the avenues
of the mine, and these supports must
consist of heavy pillars wrought out in
the solid coal itself. Some of this pill
lar coal is ultimately, removed, but
much OF it is inevitably lost, especially
in the larger beds, which are frequent
~ found from twenty TO sixty feet in
thickness, and often inclined at q an
gle OF from forty TO seventy degrees
IL Is estimated that no more than six
per cent of coal is ever taken out of
The mines. That which is brought ia
the surface is run through very prop
erly called ''breaker," ingeniously
devised for the destruction of coal.
This process involves a loss OF gold coal
eqnal 20 twenty or twenty-five per cent
OF the quantity mined. For the amount
of coal wasted in mining (say forty per
cent? aud preparing (say twent-five per
cent? no one Is paId; 1T Is a dead loss TO
the landowner, miner and shipper.
Plans for utilizing the waste coal dust
or culm OF anthracite colleries have
been frequently suggested, but none
have come into general use. The An
thracite Fuel Company at Port Even,
ou the Hudson, in 1877, used ninety per
cent OF coal dust and ten per cent. of
pitch, and made 800 tons of fuel per
day, consuming 900 tons of culm
annually. The Delaware and Hudson
Company also use, at their mines, Co.
900 tons per annum. They now ship
all their coal down to pea sizes, and
consume the culm for generating steam.
Ii all companies would follow this eX-
cellent example il would enable them
60 sell over half a million tons more
coal and burn the same amount of re-
fuse, thus earning or saving one half
million dollars per annum, The Phil
adelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany has recently introduced a method
of burning coal dust in the furnaces
Of it's engines. and the plan appears to
meet with entire success.

AGRICULTURE.

EGG-EATING BY PULLETs.-As a gen.
eral thing, this habit Is introduced by
the accidental breaking OF an egg. 1t
NAV be induced by throwing egg-shells
from the kitchen into the poultry yard :;
thcv should be broken into small pieces
before giving them to fowls. Some
times eggs crack by freezing in cold
weather, and thus expose portion OF
their contents. Eggs are very delicious
morsels to hens. If one fowl acquires
this habit, all the others in the same
flock will soon learn il too, If confined
where they see what is going on; and
they always make a rush at whatever
one of their fellow Is eating. The habit
is one v, rN hard to kreak; killing the
whole flock seems 10 be a desperate c
resort; but If the brood is not especially
valuable, and the flock small one, is
is really the best possible method saving
time and money in the end. The fol-
lowing method may be tried first, how
ever: Let the fowls have free range in
summer, or draw them off 10 a locality
ut some Ii tie distance from the nests
in winter, and let the nests be SO cov-
cred rs To be quite dark, and prevent
the laying hens from seeing the eggs.
Hens Will not stay in Il dark nook TO
scratch and peek, although they prefer
rather dark place to lay in. Scatter
wheat screenings md pounded chand-
ler's scraps, or other attractive food
among straw, or some such light stuff,
TO induce them 10 spend their time
scratching for it. Their visits To the
nests will then be only on the legiti-
mate business of laying. If fowls have
an unrestricted range, the insects and
other attractions of the fields will
answer the purpose of an artificial
scratching place in summer; but In
rough, wet weather, or in winter, the
fowls must be employed indoors to
prevent forming bad habits, or to cure
them if already formed. All the grain
remaining at the Scratching-pla &C
night very likely will be deyourcd by
rats and mice. However, by eX-
ercising a moderate degree of calcu-
lation, one will coutriveto throw down
just enough in the morning 20 last till
the middle of the afternoon, and the
remainder of the days allowance can
be given before dark.
