Acres OF Smokeless Coal.

John B. Clements, of the Christy
Fire Clay Company, has secured an
option on 5000 acres of coal land in the
Ouchita River district in Arkansas
which may go far toward solving the
smoke question. 1t is what is known
as smOkeless coal. It can be burned
on the floor in a parlor without giving
off any smoke.
Mr.. Clements has been after the
property for some time, and has had
the coal tested in the Christy works,
the Crystal Plate Glass Works, the
Belleville Gas Works and other places.
A shipment of it is to be received at
the st. Louis Sanitary Company's
works, to be tested there.
The coal is found in large de-
posit, the vein being forty-two inches
wide. 1t contains twenty per cent. of
oil, which has been found to be very
valuable in making paint A bar of
iron painted with it has been placed in
fire and submitted to an intense
heat without disturbing the paint. 1t
is also claimed that one ton of this
coal will produce as much steam as ten
tons OF that used here.-St. Louis

THE EXCELLENT LIMA BEAN.

The Lima bean is the best favored
and largest variety of the bean family,
yet it is not raised for the market in
any large quantities on account of the
trouble and expense of getting poles
for them. The villager has to buy
poles for what he plants, and the sum
expended for them often exceeds the
income from the vines Those farmers
who have timber on their land are gen
orally too busy, or think they are, to
bother with pole beans, so they plant
some of the bush varieties that are not
half so good in flavor and yield very
poorly. For the benefit of those who
like Lima beans and do not raise them
because of the trouble of providing
with poles, we give the following plan
of trellis, which answers every pur-
pose fully as well as the old method !:
If they are to be raised on large
scale two heavy posts may be set at in
tervals of forty feet, the full length of
the row, being sure to brace the end
ones. Then plain wire is stretched
from post to post. As the vines are
very heavy, it is best to strengthen it
by putting two or three pieces of ordi-
nary three-inch board. Then loop a
strand of package twine from the top
wire to the lower one. These twines
should be about sixteen inches apart.
Very little trouble is experienced in
making the vines follow the wires, and
no tying is necessary. This trellis will
last many years, and we think it is a
great improvement over the poles. -
American Farmer.
