The Home Coal Company.

Since Mr.. F. A. Mitchell, in 1879.
began the opening of the mine from
which the Home Coal Company now
gets its supply of Weber coal, the
career of the gentleman and the IN
certainty of development of the mine
are subjects upon which a great deal
could be written, and much enIighten-
ment given on topics that concern the
public. It has been long and hard
struggle for both. and there can be no
denying the fact that but for such a
man as Mr.. Mitchell, the public would
not to-day be able to buy coal from
Summit County, AMI the people OF the
town of Coaiville would not be nearly
so numerous, nor would there have
been such general prosperity among
all classes of citizens thereabout. But

his unyielding labor to pat the coal

automatically after they have been put

from which all the screenings
are carried in elevator cups on
an endless chain into re-
, volVing screen thirty-fve feet above
the track, which separates the dust
from the nut coal and each is conveyed
In opposite directions, the latter into
bin from which it can be loaded
readily in cars or wagons. The dust
is again elevated into a hume and
washed away with the water pumped
from the mine. The contrivances
adopted by Mr.. Mitchell are of the
most modern pattern and the greater
part OF the work is done here instead
OF sending the money away for it. After
his own struggles. he is in a condition
to know how much help is needed to

road, survey for which was made
some two months ago, coal property in

The Pleasant vs1Iey Mines.

The existence of coal in large quanti-
ties in Pleasant Valley has long been
known. Most of the people of this city
have forgotten, if they ever knew, the
fact that Nephi Packard and some
others had, long before the building OF
the D. & R. g., road in operation
between Sco6eld and Spanish Fork,
known as the Utah and Pleasant Valley
Railway, on which coal was broul bit
into Utah county. 1t was narrc W
gauge and was ultimately purchased
by and became part of the D. & R. G..
road. This line is used to-day as a
part of its main line. Nine years ago,

A lingo Of Hesrtlessness.

Residents of the city naturally acquire
the habit of minding their own business
and knowing almost nothing Of that Of
their neighbors. They affect great pride
in this matter, and are often heard to re-
mind visitors from the country that they
do not know the names of the families
living on either side of them. This is all
very well for certain well to do localities,
perhaps. Even then, however, it has
more than tinge of heartlessness in it.
This fact comes home to every true
hearted man and woman when they per-
ceive bit of black Grape on an adjacent
door, and feel that only narrow parti-
ton has separated their happiness and
Inconsistencies from intense suffering
and grief. Nobody is too rich not to feel
the need of sympathy at times, and no
body too poor not to be able to give it.
The time when so many are leaving
the city is appropriate to suggest that
little more neighborliness might be en-
couraged. Many kind women have
spent their time during the winter
among the poor and sick, but they are
going now into the country. The oppor-
tunity is afforded, therefore, to others
who, perhaps, have as yet done nothing
outside their immediate family circle, to
take an interest in very urgent work,
and perhaps fill place which without
them would remain vacant. A case
came to our knowledge recently of the
illness of an old lady whose daughter
was obliged to leave her alone for the en-
tire day, and day after day. 1t would
seem as if little neighborly attention in
such an emergency would not be con-
strued into intrusiveness. It would, no
doubt. be received in the friendly spirit
debating it. All the world is not going
to the seashore or the mountains, let it
be remembered. Herald.

Gum ON the Envelope.

Altogether the decentest reform is that
which puts the gum on the lower part Of
an envelope instead of on the flap, SO that
the tongue in moistening does not touch
the mucilage. It has been the abomina-
ton of correspondence that we must rub
our tongues over mixture surely not
sweet or clearly, and possibly very nasty
or even dangerous. With the change
specified the act of sealing is quite as easy
and quite as perfect in the result. We
owe the idea to a Yankee, although the
manufacture is carried on in England.
The only wonder is that everybody didn't
think of the same thing sooner. But, as
some one said of smart stories, they
never occurred to him till just after some
one else had told them-then they were
as simple as could be. This improve
ment would probably have been thought
of sooner had it not been so natural and
easy.-Globe-Dem

Flower Jewelry.

Elsie Bee, of The jewelers. Circular, writ
ing recently ON the subject of flower jewelry,
says: Much of the flower jewelry is silver,
enameled to exactly simulate natures pro-
duction as regards color. Too much praise
cannot be awarded to the designers and man
ufacturers of this enamel flower jewelry,
which represents, in everything but fra
GRANGE, the blooms initiated. The primrose,
cowslip, morning glory and the dandelion
are favorite models in jewelry. Perhaps the
most popular of all the flower jewelry is that
which represents apple blossoms, the wild
rose, the field daisy and sweet peas.
Primrose day. which was kept with due
honor in London, was the occasion not only
of an immense quantity of perishable prim-
roses in the florists shop, but gold and silver
primrose brooches and bracelets in the jew
elers' showcases. At the several primrose
weddings" that marked the day, the BRIDE
groom's present to the attending bridesmaids
was either primrose brooch, bracelet or
pendant to wear along with primrose col
ored costume These precious posies en- suite
are designed as souvenirs of the all important
occasion on which they were originally worn
and afford an effective ornament for summer
dresses.

Insect. That Attack Foliage.

The two principal classes Of insects
which attack the foliage of the apple tree
are plant lice and leaf eating caterpillars
The lice hatch In spring, as soon as the
leaf buds begin to expand. and Increase
so rapidly that, almost as fast as the
leaves develop. there are colonies of plant
lice ready to occupy them.
The best applications. according to sew
eral good authorities. are kerosene emul
sion and tobacco decoction. One formula
for the emulsion is as follows: Add two
parts of kerosene to one part Of solution
made by dissolving half a pound Of hard
soap in one gallon of boiling water. and
churning the mixture in the manner com
monty directed for this emulsion, until
the whole forms q creamy mass The so
luton must be hot and removed from the
fire when the kerosene is added This
emulsion must be diluted with nine parts
Of cold water before being used
Tobacco decoction is made by soaking
refuse tobacco in hot water and then drain
ing off the liquid When the plant lice
are so numerous early in the season as tc
make it necessary. these remedies should
be applied by means of hand force pump
and spray nozzle. which may be attached
to tank or barrel containing the insect
eide solution that can be driven in q
wagon along beside the trees
Fortunately, where II is not actually
necessary that the remedies should be
used early in the season. nearly or quite
all of the leaf devouring insects. including
the caterpillars. may be destroyed at the
same time and with the same application
of London purple and Paris green that is
required in May or June to protect the
newly formed apples from the codling
moth. by which one spraying is made to
destroy the two classes of insects and thus
answers double purpose.

Items on Tomato Culture.

In experiments in training tomatoes
conducted last year at the farm of the
Michigan Agricultural college. the method
that gave greatest satisfaction consisted
of a simple rack that was continuous
throughout the row. About every six or
eight feet stout stake was driven on
either side of the row and fifteen inches
from the plant. the stakes when firmly
driven standing something over foot
high. A strip of old boards was nailed
near the tops of the posts along either
side of the row. Then edgings were
tackled across from one side to the other.

The plant now found itself growing up
between horizontal edgings. and as it be-
ground Upon this simple rack the
tomatoes needed no tying nor training.
sunlight. The circulation Of the air under
the racks was so free that there was no
unusual danger from rot This is de.
cidedly the best rack tried It was noticed
also that the fruit ripened more uniformly
here than on the plants which were tied
to stakes.
On the same grounds some observations
were made in tomato rot, which makes its
first appearance as a slight. spotty discol
grafton about the apex of the tomato,
gradually extending and becoming darker
until the whole top of the fruit sinks in.
This disease attacks the fruit at any time
after it Is third or quarter grown.
Tomato rot Is of fungus origin. Album
dant use of stable manure appears to aug.
ment the disease.
