COAL AND IRON.
The Important Relationship of These Two
Valuable Minerals.


The Important Relationship of These Two
Valuable Minerals.
Statistics show that, whereas Great
Britain in 1910 produced IS per cent of
the worlds supply Of coal, at the pres
ent time it produces only "a per cent.
Atlantic liners no longer carry coal
from Great Britain for the return jour
ney. They now take in American coal,
and no less than 1900, 900 tons of
American coal were thus consumed in
1895. The condition of the iron manu-
featuring industries has always exer-
cised a most important influence on the
production Of coal, so that large de-
mand for iron draws with it large de-
mand for mineral fuel During the last
% years the worlds production of pig
iron has increased from $4,000, 900 to
5000, 900 tons, but the share taken by
Great Britain has fallen from 48. per
cent to 20 per cent, while that of the
United States has increased from IA.
per cent to 1862 per cent, that of Ger
many from ia per cent to ala per
cent, and that of Russia from per cent
to 4. Z per cent. Indeed, iron is now be-
ing imported from the United States
into this country, and, incredible as it
may seem, the railway station at Mid
dlesbrough. the center of the iron trade,
is built Of iron brought from Belgium.
Surely, then, the author of "Our Coal
Resources at the Close of the Nine
teenth Century" is hardly right in
thinking that British coal and iron still
hold their own. He argues that other
countries of Europe are exhausting their
coal supplies just as Great Britain is,
yet the figures he gives show that Ger
many has in reserve, within depth of
5000 feet, 100, 900, 900, 900 tons of coal
as compared with our England 81
1883, 900, 600 tons within a depth Of
1000 feet. And this estimate does not
include brown coal, of which Germany
raises $4,000, 600 tons annually Ma

Feeding New Oats.

An experienced farmer once told us
that when he was obliged to begin feed
ing new oats while Still moist he had
saved injury to his horses by giving an
equal bulk with them of wheat bran
IS the bran is itself nutritious the
amount Of oats may be diminished to
the extent that the bran by weight is
substituted. AS the oats dry out the
proportion Of bran may be decreased
until none is given. Yet in seasons
when oats were dear we have known
bran and corn meal used as substitute
for feeding to working horses. -Ameri-

General Horace Porter describes the
surrender of Lee in his Campaigning
With Grant in The Century. The sur
render took place in the house of Will
mer Mclean, it will be remembered
General Porter says: It is singular
historical coincidence that Mclean s
former home was upon Virginia farm
near the battle-ground of the first Bull
Run, and his house was used for time
as the headquarters of General Beaure-
gard When it was found that this fight
was SO popular that it was given an en-
core and second battle of Bull Run
was fought the next year on the same
ground. Mr. Mclean became convinced
that the place was altogether lacking in
repose. and. to avoid the active theater
of war, he removed to the quiet village
of Appomattox, only to find himself
again surrounded by contending armies.
Thus the first and last scenes of the war
drama in Virginia were enacted upon
his property

Keeping Cabbage.

The best way New York city farm
er can keep cabbages fresh through the
winter is to bury them in earth, says
The Farm journal, which tells how to
do this: On high and drained soil plow
out wide furrow by running back and
forth with two horse pillow and set
cabbages in this in double row, heads
down, and then turn burrows back,
making ridge to shed water. It may be
necessary to finish with spade. On
wet soil set cabbages on the surface and
cover as above. Cut the stalk off with a
corn knife just above ground and COM
pletely cover both stalk and head with
earth.

FARM HORSES.
Hints Concerning Their Feeding and
Management--Hor seshoeing.

Observation-Disclosures
Among other subjects discussed in
the special farmers institute edition
of the Iowa Homestead is the feeding
and management of horses. Following
are in brief the more important points
emphasized in the discussion:
A great deal is expected of horses and
very little attention is devoted to their
care by some farmers There is quite a
difference in the manner of feeding, but
all agree that corn, oats and good hay
are best to feed horses. One writer goes
to the barn in the morning and first
puts in any waste hay which has been
thrown over, and has the horses eat that
before he gives them grain. This writer
finds that 90 to 80 pounds of solid food
are necessary for a 1000 pound horse.
Colts and horses not accustomed to work
are often fed grain whenever the work
horses are fed, which is not considered
economical or the best plan. They
should be fed well consistent to growth
rather than fat. One man has brood
mares years old that know nothing
about grain. Most of the advices re-
ceived agree that good pasture is
necessary for horses in summer, and in
winter they need exercise which may
be in pasture or stalkfelds. Whatever
feed is employed should be given with
regularity. as well as water. One writer
says horses are kept too fat, except for
selling. while others agree that many
horses are too poor. Dusty hay should
hot be given horses, and it is also stat
ed that it should not be thrown down
in front of them. They should be we'll
bedded and have perfect knowledge Of
the currycomb One writer runs his
oats for horses through the fan Over
checks are condemned Some feed and
water while warm, and others condemn
this practice. Sores of all kinds should
be guarded against and little excuse
can be given for permitting sores to
come ON horses that work regularly.
A great deal of injury is done to
work teams by getting in too much of
a hurry in the spring Of the year. Idle
horses are better off III the pasture than
in the barn. One writer says horses and
COWS should not be kept in the same
barn. He knows this is wrong, for he
has found it out from practice. Anoth-
er has separate pasture near the barn
for his horses, SO they can be turned
from the barn to the pasture and can
get under shelter when it rains.
All farmers should have a better
knowledge of the stomach Of the horse.
Its size is oyerestimated on account of
the comparison liable to be made be-
tween it and that Of the COW. Farmers
are better acquainted with the stomach
of the COW than with that of the horse.
1t is the universal opinion that horses
on the farm are better off by reason of
no shoes than to be kept well shod. On
ly horses that are used on the roads
should be kept shod. One writer takes
the position that they need no shoes at
any time. There is some difference Of
opinion about feeding hay Some be-
ieve horses should have all the hay
they will eat and others go to the other
extreme and feed but once day, and
that at noon.
