They have just been celebrating the
centennial of the discovery of coal in
Australia. 1t was in 1897 that coal
was found near Mount Keira, in lila
warra, and at the Hunter River. Up
to 1S47 the output of the latter fields
was unimportant, and in that year
40, 732 tons were raised, while in 1895
the amount was about three aud three
quarter million tons, valued at e1,-

value may be said at present, as far as
profitable working is concerned, to be
confined to New South Wales, Queens.

AS lar as my oDSefVatlonS go, writes
r. w. Davidson, of New Jersey, there
is more money in turkeys than in chick
ems. Many people believe that tur-
keys are delicate and hard to raise.
This is true as they are usually bred
and yet turkeys are not difficult to raise
if they are properly managed. The
causes of the great mortality in tur-
keys are in breeding, dampness, lice
and improper food Inbreeding is the
greatest evil. This degenerates the
stock and then the lice usually put a
stop TO all further development. These
two evils are worse than dampness or
improper feed. Never breed from an
inferior or undeveloped gobbler and
never breed from the same gobbler
more than one year unless the same
breeding hens are also retained for an
other season. Young hens, if hatched
early, will begin to lay earlier and lay
more eggs than old ones, yet the old
ones make the best breeders. Tur-
keys are profitable until four or five
years old. Do not inbreed, even for n
single season. 1t is far better to ex-
pend few dollars for q new gobbler
unless, as | remarked above, the same
breeders are retained for another sea-
son.
If hen turkeys are not allowed to
sit, they will lay from thirty to sixty
eggs in season. If one becomes
broody, shut her up for three or four
days and in week she will be laying
again. In summer making growth is
the great object. Turkeys are sup
posed to gather their own living from
the fields, yet the same rule holds
good with turkeys as with chickens.
If we want good size and to have them
to come home to roost, we must feed
them at home every night. Give q
liberal supper of corn and wheat,
mostly wheat until November. Also a
light breakfast if possible. Pure-bred
turkeys are the best if not inbred
yet if it is considered too costly to
maintain bred flock, buy a well
developed pure-bred gobbler every
year. The additional expense will be
little compared with the results. When
November comes feed the turkeys in.
tended for market literally with corn.
Remember that this brings a good
price for the corn and plump turkey
will sell for more than poor one. The
more food the growing turkeys con-
sumo, the more they will weigh when
ready for market. A good rule is to
give light meal in the morning and
all they will eat at night, after they
are three months old. They will thus
get half their living on the range.
Some writer's have said that the
heavy breeds, such as the Bronze, are
not desirable for the general market,
being too heavy to sell we'll. This is
wholly incorrect. 1t should be borne
in mind that turkeys are sold while
yet young. The Bronze will weigh
from two to five pounds more than
any other breed at the same age and
with equal care. The largest toms
should be sent off at Thanksgiving
and Christmas, when large birds are
in demand, and the hens held for
other markets, when medium sized
sell the best. Get all the turkeys off
before or during the holidays, as the
market is always best then. 1t is best
to raise large, quick growing turkeys,
as they require no more time or feed
than smaller ones.

The story that Thomas Jefferson was
descendant OF Pocahontas, though
often repeated, is not credited by his
most reliable biographers. 1t probably
arose from the fact that the Randolph,

whom the Jefferson family was allied
by marriage, were descended from
Thomas Rolfe, the son of Pocahontas.

Spring Grain Among Wheat.

To the Middle State farmer who
grows winter wheat the scattering
spring grain which grows among wheat
is q nuisance. Hence he usually
plows or harrows his spring grain
stubble as soon as possible after the
crop is harvested, SO as to have the
grains germinate early and be de-
stroyed by subsequent cultivation.
But the far Western farmer who grows
wheat looks on the matter very differ
emily. The danger to his crop is that
winter billiards. will blow all the soil
away from his wheat. The spring
grain makes larger leaf than does the
wheat. If it occupies the soil, it pro-
tects the wheat plant beside it, and as
the spring grain is killed by winter
freezing, it does not prevent, but
rather aids, the later growth of the
winter grain. Thus it often happens
that Western farmers SOW spring grain
with their wheat as protection to it
from winter blizzards. This would
never be done by Eastern farmers, who
would find the spring grain an injury
to the winter grain in fall, and no ben
eft whatever to its ability to with
stand the rigors of winter. Boston

Picking, Sorting and Storing Apples.

Picking, Sorting and Storing Apples.
Ny fruit, says G. T. Powell, of New
York, is always picked in baskets,
never in bags, put into piles, and if
for foreign shipment, carefully as
sorted into two grades and barreled
Immediately. Sweating is not neces-
sary. When not shipped to home or
foreign markets, the fruit is put into
bushel boxes and drawn to q storage
room, where the boxes are piled up,
and there held until ready to be sold.
This cellar or storeroom is kept cool
by opening doors and windows at
night and closing them as much as
possible during the day, thus shutting
in the cool air. These boxes should
be made tight, so that when piled the
fruit is well confined from the air,
same as in barrel When ready to
sell, the fruit is assorted into No.
and No. 2 grades, throwing out any
wormy or scabby apples. If the fruit
is to be held for some time, the air can
be brought down to thirty-four de-
grees when freezing weather begins
by shutting in the cold air of freezing
nights.
If there are no facilities for holding
apples on the farm and they are put IN
cold storage in the city, they should
be assorted and packed in the orchard
and shipped at once, to save expense
in handling. There should be sorters
enough to keep up with the pickers
where fruit is shipped from the
orchard, so that every days picking
may be secured from the air and placed
in barrels. When picking in the boxes
for home storage, no sorting is neces-
sary until the apples are sold, except
that all apples showing any rot should
be thrown out. If apples have to be
held in barrels for time, do not head
too tight, but before shipping open
head, or rather the bottom, of the bar
rel, put in another layer, to make fruit
thoroughly tight, and then ship them.

BRAIN STIMULANT.-The best possi-
BILE thing for a man to do when he
feels too weak to carry anything
through is to 20 to bed and sleep a.
long as he can. This is the only re-
cuperation of brain-power, the only
actual recuperation of brain force ;
because during sleep the brain is in a
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood, which take the place
of those which have been consumed
by previous labor, since the very act
of thinking burns up solid particles,
as every turn of the wheel or screw OF
the steamer is the result Of consump-
ton by fire of the fuel in the furnace.
The supply of consumed brain-sub-
stance can only be had from the nu-
tritive particles in the blood, which
were obtained from the food eaten
previously; and the brain is so constl-
tuted that it can best receive and ap-
propriate to itself those nutritive par
ticles during the state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness of sleep. Mere stimu-
lants supply nothing in themselves
they goad the brain, force it to great
er consumption of its substance, until
it is so exhausted that there is not
power enough left to receive supply.
