Mammoth Culm Piles.

At the present time fifteen per cent. of the product of Pennsylvania mines goes to the culm pile. For the first forty years of the anthracite business the per centage of waste averaged more than double that, for crude and imperfect methods in and appliances in mining, breaking and screening were unable to save from the waste heaps coal that is now the most profitable of all the differ ent kinds on the market. It is only about fifteen years ago that chestnut coal be- gan to be saved from the culm, and 1t was estimated that not less than 1000, 900 tons of that size coal, worth about $25, 900, 900, were buried in the accumu- lations of mine debris. Several years ago improved screening produced size of coal which was given the name of pea coal. It readily became a successful rival of chestnut coal for stoves and grates. Then the mine engineers calcu. lated that the culm piles had swallowed 5000, 900 or 5000, ,000 tons of pea coal, worth $10, 900, 900 or $12, 900, ,oo0.-Neu York Herald.

The fellow whose pitiable story ap- reared in the Washington Tribune should be attended to by the "Penson Burow" at once. He says:
 ''ln June 1868 was ordered to break in a muel to work at the sadall, in the waggen and hawl wood. Bein unable to manage the muel approachin' the open dore of barn, the dore not bein big enough for both me and the muel was forcibly thrown on the ground and my he'd made hole in it. I was SC dubbled up hay mt been able to straiten myself out fairly ever sense, and I'm shore, MT. Penson Burow man, you will send the benson money immejiate- ly, seein as how was knocked out iu the line of duty"
 The man who faces such perils and survives should be tenderly cared fol until he goes to place where the totally depraved "muel' never raises his play, full heels.

Two of tho Sailors Kill Five of the Crew
 and Set Fire to the Ship.

Capt Clark, of the American ship Frank N Thayer, has arrived at Plymouth on the Cape steamer, by which he Was picked up at seA He relates that the Thayer was bound for New York with . mixed crew, including two Manila seamen These two men stole upon the deck one night and, armed with knives lashed to poles, attacked the two officers, killing them instantly. Three sailors, the only ones on deck, were quickly dispatched. Capt. Clark, hearing the snrieks of tue crew, rushed on deck in hls night shirt. The Ma nillans slashed him terribly and he barely e. capped with bis life. After desperate strug- gle be broke away from his aasailants, and, rushing to his cabin, looked himself in. The Manillans batsened down the hatches and kept the Captain and crew below deck one day and night. The Cap,ain finally fired through . skylight at one of the mutneers, and wounded him in the thigh. The man rushed to the side of the vessel and leap overb' ard. The other mutner then went below, fired the car go, and returning to the deck jump into the sea. Terrified 10 madness. the crew forced their way on deck, lowe. ed . boat, and rowsd away. The ship was consumed. The crew drifted at sea for . week before they were picked up.

 Stone fences are endurablo during the first few years after their construction, but when they begin to crumble they are difficult to repair. They are expensive and never entirely satisfactory. It is de- sirable to have fences, if any, that you can remove at will; and stone wall, whether new or old, is immovable except at the expenditure of vast amonnt of labor.
 A correspondent of the Western Rural claims to have discovered by the aid of a powerful microscope the cause of the disease known as potato scab. He finds the liquid portion of 0 scabby potato swarming with living organism, microbes, but whether as cause or effect he is as yet uncertain. He believes salt partial pre- ventive and that rank green manures in- vite the disease.
 In the horse, 8 good width between the eyes, the eyes prominent but placid, with good height from the eye to the ear; indicates intelligence. If the fore head is prominent and smooth it indicates a mild, equable temper. A round, rather long barrel indicates good digestion; a double loin, strength; and obique shoulder, surefootedness With flat, hard bones, long in the arm, speed is in- dicated.
 Barley (ground into meaD and potatoes are recommended as most excellent food for making sweet and healthful pork; the potatoes being first boiled and the barley meal added to the hot water with the potatoes and all mashed together so as to make thick mush. To this might be added as much buttermilk or skinned milk as can be appropriated to this use, which is one of the best and most profit able ways of utilizing it.
 Fat in an animal is not necessarily a sign of disease, and tendency to take on fat is not to any great extent an ab- normal one. Yet there is limit within which the tendency to take on fat is nor- nal. There is such a thing as fatty de- generacy, by which all the tissues become impaired and the animal weakly and worthless. Fowls can be made so fat that they will not lay well, or if they do lay their eggs will not hatch well. A chicken, if properly treated, should continue to grow without interruption from the time it is matched until it is fully matured. The most common cause of stunted chickens is not want of food, as might be supposed, but is usually owing to unsuitable quarters in which they are kept, and which are either filthy, cold or damp, if not positively wet. This condition of things produces disease and lice, which alone would stop their growth, if indeed, it did not stop their breath.

 A ton of bran fed with two tons of hay is worth as much as four tons of hay fed alone to either horses, cattle or sheep. The relative prices of bran, compaired with hay, must be taken into considera- tion, however, as to the economy of feed- ing bran. The heaviest geese on exhibition at the Birmingham show was a pair of White Embdens weighing forty-eight pounds twelve ounces. The largest pair ever ex- hibited since the show was organized weighed forty-nine pounds and were of the above variety.
 Chickens to thrive must be comforta- ble day and night, and if they are con- fortable they will thrive. Make the apartments clean, dry and warm, and if chickens are lousy do not daub their heads with grease, but kerosene their houses thoroughly.
