Natural Coke ia virginia.

To ne Eslitor Of the Dispatch,
Is there any coal mined in Virginia called
coke? IL so, where? g. Il. q.
FlEAvILLE.
Yes. there is now being mined at Gay
ton, fifteen miles from this city. several
hundred tons per day Of the coal now
called Clayton coal" but which was
known as natural coke" previous to the
war, If weare not mistaken 1t was so named
by Professor William B. Rogers in the
State geological surveys made by him,
where he makes tho following remarks re-
garding this remarkable deposit;
This curious material has the aspect
and composition of coal which has been
in great part deprived of Its volatile ingre-
dients by heat, accompanied by such q
pressure OF the everything strata rs would
prevent the puffy cellular texture usually
assumed by coke retaining all the carbon
of the original coal. This material has
great value as q combustible. yielding the
intense and steady heat of anthracite, at
the same time that from its less compact
texture it is more readily ignited."

CAROLINE.
Corn may be coated with coal-tar pre-

vidsd it does not lie in bulk afterwards
mors than an hour OF two. II 1t should re-
main coated with the tar over night, its
termination would be retarded If not i'm

been previously soaked in water long

How to Raise n Colt.

p 2e E1i.5s Of NJ Disoatca;
l have a valuable colt just weanod, and
should be glad if you would write an arti-
Gle In one of your issues upo1 now 70 raise
, colt from weaving time until he Is years
old-the time we break them.
What feed IL necessary, how much,
whether it should be handled any, what
kind Of handling, &c.I
An article by some experienced stockman
will be greatly appreciated by myself snd
some of my friends. Ii. E- ~
Mr.. f. Guy. of Henrico, has been KIND
enough TO answer this question for US as
follows:
Colts should be fed with q very
little corn and only then IN very cold
weather. | once fed weaned colt on
glazed oats that had not been thrashed
for six months. This furnished him both
grain and forage He grew very fat and
kept in nne order.
Oats | look upon as the very best feed
for colts. / would give colt two quarts
of clean oats twice daily and as much nice
hay or fodder as il would eat Oil Gay;
unless there was grass plot that IL couIq
run on in good weather; then l Wouid
give hay and oats twice daily. II oats are
not to be had mix four quarts OF wheat
meal and divide this in TWO feeds for one
dav. Bone and muscle are what you want
and not so much fat. .,
Colts should be handled almost daily
Bepin with them early, and teach them TO
know and not to'be afraid OF you.
At IS months old put on 1t halter and
teach il to lead and TO stand tea, but DO
not keep it tied up long at first, but gradu-
ally use it TO be tied. and you can soon
teach it to stand by the halter all night,
and longer when necessary; but prefer
hox-stail and TO leave the head-stall on the
colt and take loose the rein.
At two years teach it TO wear the harness,
10 take the bride. aud drive it around
loose then hitch il to jumper, then lead
il awhile. then drive it around, slowly at
first, and by giving it o lesson OF an hour
daily YOU will soon make 1t work gently.
Do not fight it, but coax and pet 1t, and
il will soon learn to mind you. but be very
patient and do not lose your temper, and
all will be well. 80.
In mild weather there is nothing like
nice grass lot for the colt.

Death by Dripping Water.

To ne Editor of The DIspGtch:
Has any person ever been put to death
by the constant dripping OF water upon
the head!
2. IL so, in what country
3. Is it q custom of any country?
A CONSTANT READER.
As far as we know, it has never been the
custom of any country to employ this
method for the purpose Of putting persons
to death. 1t appears to have been invent
ed by the Spanish Inquisition, or at least
this tribunal is charged with using the de-
vice in the earlier days of its supremacy,
though not to kill, but as torture for
eliciting confession. The application was
not restricted to the head, but any spot
upon the body which the tormentor
thought most suitable was selected. No
doubt life could be destroyed in this man
ner, as trivial as it seems. for the constant
" recurring dropping would presently ex-
cite intolerable restlessness. progressing
to wild delirium and de ath.

Keys of organs and pianos are made OF
two materlals-ivory and celluloid. Either
can be cleaned by o process Of scrapins
and then repolishing. The repolishing Is
done with pumice-stone.
1t generally takes the knowledge OF an
