GENERAL ITEMS.
Eastern VieaUs of the Coal Trade.

NcW Torh,.-Large contracts of
bituninous Goals have been made in
New England and at low prices, ac
cording to all reports. The Boston
trade is in state of perturbation,
however, with heavy sales at $3.50
delivered. At Baltimore the nom
inal price is $2.15.-Min1ng Record.
We cannot see any reason for an
advance in the price of soft coal ;
there is nothing at present IN the
conditions of general trade to war
rant any advance; many sales for the
season having been made at rates
that do not tend to support the idea
that prices are to be any better than
they were IA year ago. The great in
crease in the soft coal trade from
mines east Of the Alleghanies has
been due to the very low price at
which the commodity has been at
forded. 1t is this fact that has given
to the semi bituminous Goals for
cam use The position they now oc-
cupy. An advance III price would
give the anthracite sizes that were
used for steam, and those that are
now so used, Il vastly increasing mar
ket to supply. Distance from mar
ket is OF no great moment at present.

The operators are showing a great
er determination to resist an advance
than seemed likely two weeks ago.
The low and declining prices of an,
thracite coal, and the largely in
creasing production Of anthracite,
pea, buckwheat and dust coal make
this necessary. 1t is said that the
Reading coal and iron company alone
produced $4,000 Ions of pea coal
last year, and that it will produce
Over 100000 tons this year. The

There is such Il scarcity CT bitumi-

can be readily obtained.

FARM NOTES.

Tobacco refuse is rich and quick act

Early cut hay is best for full flow Of
milk when fed to cows, and will produce
butter not crumbly and colorless.
Bring the sheep up at night and give

mails in every particular in the matter Of
construction. Do not construct stables
carelessly.
Plow the wheat land early so a TO get
ii in good condition before seeding time.
Many crops of wheat are injured by hur-
ny when preparing the land. A fine seed
bed is of great Importance with wheat.
Clean up in the fence corners. rake up
the weeds and burn the rubbish and re-
fuse that can be collected, and in 80 do
ing many vile weed seeds will be destroy

Bad slough water viii make milk that
contains fermentive organisms and that
is liable TO decay. Made into butter or
cheese the latter Will not keep.
Better dispose of honey as it comes in,
at fair price, than wait for better mar
ket and run the risks of losing or injur-
ing the honey. Keeping the market full
of old stock does much to destroy the de-
mand for any kind Of honey.
II is not good policy to dry hay TO
brittleness before drawing it from the
meadow, for that causes waste by hand
ling and reduces quality. Grass is well
cured when ii will rattle slightly in the
handling. and then is the time to store it.

Money in Mutton.
Coleman's Rural World

The fact is, the times are hard. 1t is
not easy to keep up ones courage. Turn
which way we may, there is not much
money in farming. But sheep raising,
for mutton aid fat lambs, seems to be as
promising as anything can think of.
The country is growing rapidly. Capital
is abundant. Living is cheap. Our re-
sources unlimited. There is plenty of
work to be done, and no lack of machin-
cry to facilitate its accomplishment. The
so-called working classes" are, or ought
to be, better off in this country than at
any other time in the history of the
world.
We have two country butchers that
come round twice week to supply farm
ers and Others with meat. The beef is
only $3.50, but it is far better
than the mutton; and the
Lamb" which they bring
us is year-old merino. so thin and poor
that in cooking the flesh on the leg
shrinks so much that it leaves an inch
or more of the bone bare. This is always
a sure sign that the sheep are poorly
fed and that the flesh contains a
large percentage of water. When the
sheep are fat the lean meat contains more
invisible fat, and the meat is tender and
Juicy, and does not shrink away so much
in cooking. It is no wonder that mutton
is not as popular here rs in England.
The trouble is not in the breed. We have
all the British breeds of sheep here, and
the merino in addition. And, so far as
my experience goes, little merino
blood improves the quality of the mutton
and gives us a harder and healthier sheep
better adapted to our climate and system
of farming. We do not feed well enough.
1t would pay us handsomely to feed our
sheep more or less grain, malt sprouts,
bran and cotton-seed cake.

He Was a Union Man.

An amusing dialogue took place last
night in front of the Leader office. A
number of compositors had arrived over
the Bee line ad and were on their way
to this office. They were met on Super
io1 street by a committe of the strikers
who used their eloquence to induce the
new men to give up their purpose of GO
ing to work for the Leader. The strang-
ers walked briskly on, however, and paid
little heed to the committee. Finally,
one of the committeeman became 80 very
earnest that he greatly annoyed the new
printers. one of whom stopped and ex-
claimed:
''Yes, We are rats, and our tails are too
long for You fellows"
But why can't you wait until to-mor-

us talk to you"
I'VE don't want TO talk to you, that s
why" said the new man. "Yor are sfrang-
ers to us; we don't know you and there
fore we don't care very much about talk
ing with you"
The committeeman was little confus-
ed by the cool answers of the self-styled

The Hogs.
Kansas Farmer

The time has now arrived to begin the
feeding of the hogs. The corn is in con
dition to feed, and can be cut up and fed
to them. For a few days they should be
fed lightly and if the hog has been fully
developed and has a frame strong in
every part it is ready to take on fat rap
iply and satisfactorily 4 is of the ut
most Importance for ,uccessful swine
breeding and fattening that attention
should be given to the development Of
bone and muscle. 1t is OF so much i'm
portance, and yet is so largely neglected
that we deem it prudent to refer to it
frequently. The swine of this country
have been greatly injured by our very
prevalent system of feeding on the wrong
kind Of food. IF the very generally ac-
cepted theory of disease is correct, such
n coarse can but result in making the hog
an easy prey to disease. The parasitic or
germ theory depends upon the system,
human or animal, being vulnerable TO the

Sailing Butter.
National Live Stock Journal.

What do we salt butter fory
We salt it to preserve it," says one,
~ salt it," says another, 'to improve
it, taste"
And l." says third, because | have
been accustomed to, and never thought
so. | only suppose | must, or 1T would go
wrong some way"
This last reply will answer the multi
tude, and it will answer for much that is
done outside of the avocation of butter
making. If one will stop and ask him
self at every step why he does each
thing he will be surprised 70 find himself
doing about all he does from habit, or by
way of initiating the habit of others.
Man is very properly credited with being
a reasoning animal, because he does some
times reason, but he is moved much more
by the force of custom than of thought
and our conduct in sailing butter is only
the outgrowth of our most pominent
human characteristic, which is
thoughtlessly following in rut.
The safest rule to follow in sailing for
seasoning is the one followed by horse
Jockey in Harvesting his horses. He said,
when he had an ugly-looking horse, he Gov
cred him up with all the nice harness he
could get on him. The harness looked
better than the horse, and the latter got
the benefit of the Improvement When
he had fine looking animal, he used as
little harness as he could. The horse
looked better than the harness, and it
only to obscure his beauty. If butter
must be sailed, this is the rule to follow,
for the flavor of choice butter Is very
much more pleasing than the taste of
salt and the more of it there is used, the
more the butter flavor is hid; but the
taste of salt is better than no flavor or
bad flavor; so, when butter is afflicted
with such faults liberal sailing will i'm
prove the defects by Disgusting them with
Its prominence.
