Something About Coal.

1t makes the present generation smile
to read the accounts which have come
down to us concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained against
certain articles which are of every day
consumption.
For instance, it is said that when coal
was first used in England the prejudice
against it was so strong that the House of
Commons petitioned the King to prohibit
the use of the ''noxious'' fuel.
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, a commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city of London and its neigh
borhood, to punish them by force for the
first offense, and by the demolition of
their furnaces if they persisted in trans
crossing. A law was finally passed
making it capital offense to burn coal in
the city, and only permitting it to be
used by forges in the vicinity. 1t is
stated that among the records in the
Tower of London document was found
according to which man was hung in
the time Edward /. for no other crime
than having been caught burning coal.
1t took three centuries to entirely efface
the prejudice.
In our day there is no prejudice against
using coal, but if the coal barons have
their way they will run the price up SO
high that it virtually amounts to prohi-
bition as far as people of ordinary means
are concerned.-I'eras SJtings

Tho Longest Day.

1t is quite important, when speaking of
the longest day in the year, to say what
part of the world you are talking about.
The latitude of place changes the length
of the day to remarkable extent.
At Stockholm, Sweden, it is eighteen
and one-half hours in length.
At Spitzbergen the longest day is three
and one-half months.
At London, England, and Bremen,
Prussia, the longest day has sixteen and
one-half hours.
At Hamburg, in Germany, and Dantzig,
in Prussia, the longest day has seventeen
hours.
At Wardoe, Norway, the longest day
lasts from May 2lst to July I'D, without
Interruption.
At st. Petersburg, Russia, and Tobolsk,
Siberia, the longest day is nineteen hours
and the shortest five hours.
At Tornea, Finland, June 21st brings a
day nearly twenty-five hours long, and
Christmas one less than three hours in
length.
At New York the longest day is about
fifteen hours and at Montreal, Canada, it
is sixteen hours.

Where to Put the Stamp ON a Letter

w hSiS " 4 III euc SlilIup Oh IL LeCCef.
1t has become a custom which all
thoughtful persons always observe, to
place the stamp on the upper right-hand
have ever stopped to think what was the
reason for this choice of position. The
caneeling stamp and the postmarking
stamp are fastened side by side upon the
same handle, and if the stamp is correctly
placed one blow makes both impressions.
IT however, the stamp is on the lower
right-hand corner the postmark falls on
the address, and both are illegible, while
if the stamp is on the left-hand side, the
postmark, which is always at the left of
the canceler, does not strike the envelope
at all, and second blow is necessary to
secure it. So, if the stamp is anywhere
except in the upper right-hand corner, it
makes just twice as much work for the
clerk, and this, where he is stamping
many thousand pieces every day, is no
small matter. There has been in use for
some time, in the postoffice in Boston a
number of canceling machines, into which
the letters, all tace-upward, are fed.

The Views of a Kentucky Farmer Given
i'm His Own Words.
Clover is usually sown between
March and April /, and from eight to
twelve pounds of seed per acre is the
customary seeding. Many years ago
became satisfied that such usage both
as to time and quantity was not right.
Three pounds of clover seed will SOW
an acre more thickly than seventy-ive
pounds of wheat. The seed itself will
terminate with the certainty of other
leguminous types. and good practice
implies such conditions of semination
as will insure both the termination of
the seed and its preservation until its
root becomes firmly fixed in the earth
at and after which time red clover is a
very hardy plant
When wheat, rye and barley are
seeded, the sowing ordinarily is on the
unprepared surface, and at time char
acterized by rapid changes of tempera-
ture and great atmospheric movements.
The sprouted seed is lost while in the
"crook," either by sharp frost or the
arid wind of March afternoon-being
on the surface and both root and
cOtyledon exposed. If terminated
clover seed be exposed on moist flannel
to comparative cold it will perish, but
if covered with one thickness of the
same material at a temperature of
eight degrees above zero there is only
partial loss.
If the seed be sown in January
preferably on snow-the action of rain
and frost will cover it perfectly, and in
many years have not failed to secure
a perfect stand with three or, at most,
four pounds of seed per acre. Many of
the best farmers in the bluegrass re-
gion have adopted this plant with per-
feet success. The only objection to be
urged is, that on rich land the clover,
in wet seasons, reaches so great a
height that it interferes with the rapid
drying of the sheaf. More money is
annually wasted in Kentucky by the in
judicious sowing of clover seed than
her farmers expend for agricultural lit
erature.-Farmer, in Farmers Home

SPRING COSTUMES.
seasonable Styles and Fabrics For Str
Wear

seasonable styles and Fabrics For Street
Wear.
The use of the new and beautiful
camel's-hair fabrics will reign to a great
extent this coming spring Many of
the embroidered examples of this mate
rial now shown in the stores will be
made up with conspicuous adjustment
of the broad band of the work few
inches above the hem, as this shows to
great advantage above fur, velvet or
metal galloon.
The velvet sleeves will be retained as
a dressy and becoming accessory, as
also the broad band of velvet seen in
the high and straight, or the fiaring
collar, and broad folds of velvet run
ming around the hem will be seen on
dresses of light cloth of the various
shades of tan, suede, gray slate-blue,
the novel reds and the dark green's.
On dresses of such tints, and of the
cited fabrics, there will be display of
hand-wrought metal thread, which will
cover the collar, middle of waist, the
inner portion OF the sleeve and the bust
beginning to be seen on the shoulder,
the design broadening as it descends,
and after reaching the belt line in it's
central effect, running over to the left
side of the front of the skirt, which
closes on that side, then extending to
the hem, where it is bordered with fur,
as also along the closing side. Fur will
form a broad cuff on such a dress.
Another style, in which brocaded
cloth will be seen in conjunction with
Bengaline, shows the sleeves and the
clinging sides of the princesse shape in
the first-named fabric, while the front
of ike skirt is in Bengaline, largely dis
played by the parting of the brocaded
material, which is held down in two
belt-lil1e straps across the folds of the
Bengaline The same material is
in the vest, which is topped by a criss-
cross of chenille, a fringe of which, a
yard deep, is seen on the Bengaline at
the hem, while on the brocaded cloth a
half-yard garniture of chenille matching
the fringe is displayed, and extends
around the back of the skirt.
A novel example of street costume
ST )ws straight skirt, somewhat full in
t. back gathers, and untrimmed. The
top of this costume, of which the lower
part is in plain cloth of a shade of pur-
pie that verges on heliotrope, is in anne
thyst velvet with matching ostrich tips
around the hips, throat and wrist. A
corselet belt of gold thread work and
violet silk passementerie is displayed
below the ornaments, which form revers
in the same style. Soft folds of Ben
galine of a pale lilac form the vest, and
hang in the effect of very large stole
to the feet, being heavily fringed with
tassels matching the passementerie.-

HEADING oE CABBAGE.

Shallow Planting Assures Better Results
Than Deep Planting.
Nearly all gardeners suppose that
deep setting of cabbage plants is essen
tial to success. The plants are set in
the ground up to the lowest leaves when
transplanted from the seed-bed. Tests
were made upon this point at the Cor
nell experiment station, in 1899, with
thirteen varieties, and the results
showed no appreciable difference be-
tween the deep set plants and those set
at the natural depth. The test was re-
peated last year upon early Jersey
Wakefield. Over 200 plants, for which
the seeds were sown under glass April
IA, were set in the field May 20. They
were set in six parallel rows, every
other row containing plants set at the
same depth as they stood in the seed
bed, and the alternate ones containing
those set down to the first leaves. The
soil was heavy clay loan, unfertilieed.
The crop was harvested August l and

ADVICE FOR FARMERS.

In stormy weather keep sheep in
doors; better to lose a meal than to get
wet.
1T is an important item to have good
teams on the farm if the work is done
in good season. AND
WHEN you find a bull to head your
herd that suits you, buy him. Don't
qSlibble over few dollars
BEGINNERS with poultry should, as a
rule, commence with one variety, and
keep it until the details of the business
are well mastered.
FoR growing alone blue grass is one
of the very best that can be grown on
the farm. Blue grass and orchard
grass will thrive in the shade.
An important item in successful farm
ing is the keeping of a sufficient num-
Der of stock to consume to advantage
all of the products of the farm.
CLOVER can be grown on any soil
that is in a reasonably good condition
and under ordinary conditions can be
sown in the spring or in the fall.
UTILIZE all bones, even if you have
no means whereby they can be pound
ed or ground. The smaller the pieces
of bone the better. They are excellent
for all kinds of fruit trees, and if APP
piled around grape vines the effects
of the application will be noticed for
years.
ECONOMY in production is the key to
financial success in all agriculture. In
raising live stock the guess work should
be reduced to minimum. Know what
each animal has cost before You sell IL.
