FACTS AND FIGURES.

1t Is estimated that the annual iron
production Of the world Is 10, 487, $40
tons. and of this Great Britain, the
United States. Germany and France
contribute 1874 per cent-the first two
64.3 per cent.
The work of draining Russian
marshes, actively carried on fer several
years past, has resulted in retaining
more than 100000 acres, of which
$50, 900 are crown lands. The canals
which have been built to drain this great
domain are likewise adapted for fioat-
ing lumber from the forests which they
penetrate, to market.
1t is estimated that from $50, coo 10
500. 600 tons of charcoal are annually
made in the United States. No better
way to get through forests. 1t was this
which, more than anything else, de-
prived Ireland of hers. Few countries
are now more barren of timber, al
though tradition AYERS that a squirrel
could once travel from tree to tree from
Antrim to Kerry.
The mines in the Wood River and
Saw Tooth districts OF Idaho will, it is
estimated, yield S3,000.OO0 in bullion
during the present year, which is double
the yield OF the Territory of Idaho three
years ago, when these districts were
unknown. New discoveries of value
are constantly being made in these dis
tricts. The amount of capital invested
in the Wood River district alone this
year will be over 1000, 600.

Just been published. Their number is

Austria 8, France 6. Switzerland 4, and
Sweden 3. Spain, Portugal. Holland
and Norway each possess 2, while there

Live Stock In Winter.

All life upon the farm requires
greater degree of watchfulness in win
ter than IL does ut other seasons of the
year In summer, for instance, there is
free range i'm the open air with plenty
OF exercise, and all that the animal
needs in the way on food or drink. or at
least that should he the case. The ami
nal ia comparatively free to make its
own selections, and usually does so,
with sufficient wisdom TO insure its
health. But with the winter comes inn
prisonment and a greater degree of de-
pendence for necessaries and comforts.
In the summer it can sleep in the open
air, with the green grass for bed. In
the winter il must, or should have, pro-
lection from the cold, stormy weather,
and bed furnished il. It's comforts
should be studied. for discomforts mean
either n falling off in condition. or the
consumption of food without improve
ment. Having supplied it with adequate
shelter, its bedding should be comfort
able and especially should it be dry.
All stables should be SO constructed that
the holdings of animals should not re-
main wet, and that can be prevented by
arranging to carry off all water Some
recommend slat floors, through which
the water can run and thus keep the lit.
ter as dry as it practically can be kept.
Il need not be stated that saturated
bedding must have n tendency to chill
the animal, either when il lies down up-
or 1t, or rises from it, and the object to
be sought in the winter keep of stock is
warmth. We ought to avoid the ne
cessity of feeding to keep up an I'M
necessary waste of animal heat, and if
that were not consideration, the
preservation of health. which is always
endangered by permitting an animal to
lie or stand in that condition, should be
sufficient to prompt us to keep the ami
nal well housed and otherwise COM
Portable.
We must not forget, either. that sun
shine is grand promoter of health, and
that 1t IS just rs necessary TO our ami
mails rs 1t is Tn ourselves. Stables ought
to be- arranged so that the sunshine can
get into them some portion of the tiay.
Fresh air and sunshine are the cheapest
things that we have, and we ought to
utilize them. We hardly need say,
therefore, that we are not partial to
basement stables. But il such are used,
even though we may not be able to get
the sunshine into them. by all means
let us have the best possible ventilation.
When stables can be constructed so that
they can have the benefit of the morn
ing sun, and are well ventilated, they
constitute the most perfect stables. =

Manure Made Under Cover.

OF course all the advantage
Of making manure in covered
yards may be secured by box
feeding, with less outlay for
roofing, since more space must
be allowed for a given number
of animals turned loose togeth-
er, than when confined in stalls;
it is the protection from rain
and sun, the abundant use Of
litter and ifs thorough incorpor-
alton with the excrements, and
the exclusion of air by compact
treading, which go to make the
superior manure; all these fea-
lures Of the method work
against the loss of valuable
plant food. Nor does box feed
ing and constant accumulation
of manure under the feet of the
animals necessarily imply often
sive stalls. Mr.. Lawrence,
above quoted, said that every
body noticed the general sweet
ness Of his stalls; it is only es-
sential that enough litter be US
ed to absorb all liquids. and this
absorption is more effectual if
the straw is cut up.
One method or the other, box
feeding or covered yards, should
be adopted by every farmer
who lives where manure is
worth saving, and who finds
himself compelled to supple
ment his stable manure with
commercial fertilizers. Stable
manure must not be lost sight
of, in this increasing interest in
these concentrated fertilizers,
for we cannot produce our crops
and have enough for ourselves
and others, without its aid; and
there is nothing in all the list of
commercial mixturs, which give
SO good an average rerurn for
the money invested in it, as
well-made stable manureLProf.
