Several different coal beds are known
to occur i'll tins county. OF these, what
is known as the Lexington bed is,
Mt present, of greatest industrial I'M
portance. In the southeastern portion
of the county, however, in the vIcini-
ties of Concordia and Aullville, an I'M
derlyinG coal bed, know as the Mulky
bed, is worked and is there of chief i'm
portance. Recently, what is presuma-
bly, another lower lying coal bed, has
been opened ut Wavrrly. Again, al
other localities, deep drill holes have
been put down in which thick coal beds
are reported to have been struck; but
the results from such deep drillngs at
different places are conflicting, and il
will take n closer study than this arli-
Gle purports TO be the result of, more
careful sitting of facts, before the re-
ported results of such drillings can be
reliably judged Of
The Lexington Al bed occurs under
nearly the whole western portion OF the
county, west of the longitude of Aull-
vile. East of Aullville it rises higher
above water level and is found only
near the hill-tops in comparatively
limited patches. Hypsometrlcally it!is
in such position that its outcrop is al
most always above the adjacent water
level. 1t lies in gently undulating
sheet, with a slight northweslerly dip,
which crops out along Il sinuous line on
each side of the main drainage chan
nels.

The drift is in the hillside, about
20 feet above the level of the railway.
The long wall method OF mining is
pursued here successfully, though the
roof is somewhat irregular. The coal
is faulted and squeezed in places and
contains pyritc, both in nodules and
in films along the joint planes. Along
the entries the bottom clay is taken
up TO obtain the requisite height.

TalInage on Horse Racing.

At the same time do not believe in
slow driving, writes +. Dewitt Talmage
in the July Ladies' Home Journal. There
is no more virtue in driving slow than IN
driving fast, any more than a freight train
going ten miles an hour is better than an
express train going fifty, There IS de-
fusion abroad in the world that thing
must be necessarily good and Christian ii
it is slow and dull and plodding There
are very good people who seem to imagine
it is humbly pious to drive spawned,
CALLED, glandered, spring halted blind,
staggered jade. There IS not so much
virtue in Rosinante as there Is IN a
Bucephalus. At the pace some people
drive, Elijah. with his horses OF fire, would
have taken three week to get into heaven.
We want swifter horses. and switer men,
and swiftcr enterprises, and the church OF
God needs to get off its jog uot. Quick
tempests, quick lighnings, quick streams,
why not quick horses In time OF war
the cavalry service does the most execution
and as the battles of the world are probab-
ly not all past our Christian patriotism de
mands that we be interested in equinal
velocity We might as well have poorer
guns in our arscnaIs, and Clumsler ships
in our navy-yards, than other nations, as
to have under Our cavalry saddles, and
before our artillery, slower horses.

The Discovery of Hayfnaking.

How and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be known,
says London journal. For haymakng
is process" and the product is not
simply sun-dried grass which has been
partially fermented, aud is as much the
work of mems hands as flour or cider,
Probably its discovery was due to accident
but possibly man learned it from the pikas,
the ''cnlling hares" of the steppes, which
cut and stack hay for the winter That
idea would fit in nicely with the theory
that Central Asia was the "home' of the
Aryan race if we were still allowed to
believe it, and haymaking is certainly an
art mainly practised in cold countries, for
winter forage Probably there are no
meadows in the world so good as those in
England, or so old. Yet from the early
Anglo Saxon times, old meadow has been
distinguished from pasture" and has al
ways been scarce. Two-thrds of what is
now established meadow land still shows
the marks of ridge and furrow and from
the great time required to make a meadow
10 years at least on the best land, 100
years on the wOrSt-mcn have always
been reluctant to break up old pasture.
The ancient meadows, with their great
trees and close rich turf, are the sole por-
ton of the earth's surface which modern
agriculture respects and leaves in peace.
Hence the the excellence of the meadows
in England, and the envy of the American.

FARM, GARDEN and
HOUS EHOLD.


Report of the secretary for the past year.
The annual report of b. Walker Nckeen,
secretary OF the State Board OF AgfeuI-
ture, for the year IS9I-2, VIII be issued
shortly numbering over 700 pages. 1t
contains report OF the annual meeting
of the State Board Of Agriculture, hnan-
cial statement of agricultural societies, re
ports of the dairNmen's meeting at Auburn
and the State College and reports OF Far
mers Institutes in all parts OF the state.
In reviewing the work of the year Mr..
Mckeen SAYS he finds much matter tor
encouragement. The general outlook Tor
turner's seems to be improving and not
only is the tendency of the times toward
better returns for agricultural products but
the farmers themselvs never seemed more
hopeful than now. New outlets are
everywhere opening for the sale OF the
products of the farm, and the tide OF west
ern emigration and western speculation
has slackened. More money is put INTO
circulation in our own state than ever be-
fore, in buildings for caring tor and man
utacturlng the products Of our farms
The general manufacturing Interests OF
the State are rapidly developing and there
by the pulses OF agriculture are quckened
The secretary thinks that much OF the
Improvement is due to the organized Ell
orts of the Board and our agricultural
societies. and to them we must look tor
the uplifting OF public opinion, that better
ment OF farm practice and that general
upward trend of cnlightment and progress
which seems TO he the tendency OF the
times
Several new creameries have been
started under very promising conditions,
Many of the old ones have been strength
ened and are extending their business.
The attention of our farmers in several
sections of the state is turned towards
condensed milk as practical outlet Tor a
part of the milk from their farms. we
look upon the venture with much salts
faction and if not engaged in too largely,
and the factories are well managed, so as
produce a first class product we may eX-
pect success.
The necessity of keeping the pastures
in first class condition is noted, and forage
crops and ensliagc are mentioned to sup
plement and increase their cappcity. "A
rapid increase in the system OF partial
soilng for stock is looked for.
The year Just passed has been the first
one under our large appropriation. Farm
ers have responded well to the calls for
increased Institutes and they have been
generally successful.
\. The total cost of the Institutes is $3.50
7,S6 an excess of the appropriation for
the year OF SSo7 SO, which must come
out of the appropriation for 1892,
making the sum available for the year only
S2,I32.44. The average cost OF the lnstl-
tutes not including the expenses of the
secretary is SI2S.92.
The report contains pretty full alb
stract of the Cattle Commissioner report.
Two hundred and thirteen pages are de
voted to the work of the Agricultural
Experiment Station and 40 to the annual
report of the State Pathological Society.
The work closes with copy of the agri-
cultural laws of the state.
The Somerset reporter., 1892-08-04
stock and Dairy.

The rough and SCfawnev stock seen on
SO many farms is the result OF poor feed
ing and bad treatment. insufficient food
and exposure to the weather are the chief
cduses.
Il sometimes looks As if agriculture
would have To be exchanged by force, 50
reluctant ale the mass OF farmers to adopt
important changes The idea that first
clas, and profitable CONS are 10 be raised
on skin milk and bog OF salt hay or straw
instead OF tirst-eldss fodder, Is more suit
able to the Dark Ages than TO an enlight-
ened era And then note how they cling
to pasimage and to dairying without any
attempt to know either cost OF income
Some good laws have improved farming
already, and more in the way OF pressure
would help to educate the farmers.
Covered harnyardS are one OF the So
daled improvements that may well be
called questionable Instead OF covering
the barnyard, put the cattle under the
cover OF the barn itself. The barnyard,
Tor most of its present purposes. needs to
he abolished instead oil covered. II Is the
source OF shocking amount otwaste, and
USUALLY. filthy and disgusting
The hope OF the country is in more stock
raising. Our farms need more manure,
and it can best be obtained by an increase
of live stock. The soiing system for
dairying will enable farmers to keep three
or -four COWS where they can now only
keep one, and at a greater profit.
The breeding of horses and of sheep
are both neglected on many farms where
they might be raised to advantage. The
reason for this neglect are not ereditable.
Dislike OF the necessary care is one

is GUARANTEED TO CURE
Agricultural Depression
in England.

Bells Messenger states that the value
of farm property in England has fallen
heavily in consequence of the general de-
preston of agriculture.
An estate which formerly was sold at
SOC, 900 changed hands recently at &c.
900. Another estate for which within
twenty years $40, 900 was offered and re-
fused, was sold lately for IS. 500. Pro-
lection is suggested as remedy; but
free trade England is hardly ready for
such methods we respectfully suggest to
our English cousins that better remedy
would be to adopt the new methods Of
agriculture, or to emigrate to America, or
both.
