Our Coal Output.

From preliminary statement compil-
ed by E. W. Parker, statistician OF the
United States geological survey, it is
shown that the total output of coal in
the United States in 1897 amounted APP
proximately to 1913, $50, 900 short tons,
with an aggregate value OF $l9S, lOO, OOO,
an increase over 1896 of about 80 per
cent. The increase in value was little
less than nine tenths of one per cent The
amount of coal produced in 1897 was the
largest on record.
The average value per ton was the
lowest ever known, continuing the declin-
ing tendency which has been shown with
out any reaction for the past six years.
The marketable product of anthracite
coal in Pennsylvania during 1897 was 49,
637, 1854 long tons against A, 1oS, 46O long
tons in 1886. OF the bituminous coal pro-
ducing States there we're only six in which
the production in 1897 was less than in
the preceding year. In fifteen OF them
the output was thel argest ever obtain
ed. In 20 out of the 20 States producing
bituminous coal the average price per
ton in 1897 was less than in 1896 the
general average for the United States
being 50 cents in 1896 and 81. = in 1897.
Considering the industry by States,
pennsylvania holds her usual position
The combined product of anthracite and
bituminous Goals from the Keystone State
amounted to 100, 600, 900 short tons, near
ly 81 per cent. of the total output. Penn
sylvania's percentage of the total BIZ
luminous output was 81, her output of
soft coal being "a, 600, 900 tons, Illinois re-
mains second with a total of 20, 200, COO
short tons. West Virginia comes third,
leading Ohio by |, $50. 900 tons. Alabama
reaches her maximum output of 5, 1913, 10
tons, and stands fifth. Then come Iowa,
Maryland and Indiana in order.

The May number of Harper's Round
Table will contain the first instalment of
Kirk Munroe's six part serial story, 'sThe

the mining country of Lake Superior and
the story hinges on the mystery of a de-
serted copper mine. In the course of the
story, as we are informed, Mr. Munroe
will make his readers thoroughly ac-
quainted with the workings of those cop
per mines, some of which are as much as

special interest of the May number will
be the announcement of the Three Prize

Spring.

Surely the blood flows quicker
And the heart is lighter to-day,
For the beautiful road we are treadinp
Is leading us straight to May.
By the note of the daring bluebird,
By the sign of the swelling bud,
BY the green grass ever greener,
By the merry brook at flood,
We are forging Oh TO the mornings
That simmer with rainbow light:
We are marching fast to the evenings
That linger long and bright
The beautiful roads we are treading,
Fairer every day,
Is the dear path we remember
Through April hours to May.

What Would Happen.

A bluff old Rockland sea captain re-
turned recently from Cuban port where
among other experiences he had a
short interview with Spanish officer.
The latter appeared to think that The at
titude of Uncle Sam in even dreaming of
war with such a powerful country as
Spain was an audacious act.
Why said he to the captain, ''what

FOURTEEN MILES FROM SKAGwAY and
from the top Of White Pass, March IA,
1895 Well, here we are in log cabin
just after dinner. 1t is nearly warm
enough to go about in our shirt sleeves.
We left the canon this m orning with one
horse and three sleds loaded II was the
remainder of our x tons of provision and
baggage. l hardly know how to begin to
describe the trail from the canon to where
we are. 1t is simply terrible; it is around,
and over boulders, up and down hill--most-
ly up. Dead horses and dogs line the trail
most of the way. 1t is estimated that two
thousand dead horses lie by the wayside.
Well they might, for if one takes drink
of water he must drink from the stream
where most of those animals lay. There
are probably ten thousand people of every
description on the trail, including some
women. First you will pass from Is to
30 mules with packs ON their backs; next
man; then perhaps woman trudging
along with a sack OF -four weighing fifty
pounds; bull trains with one to four sleds
loaded; then string of dogs. 1t is some
thing terrible the way horses and dogs
are abused. They cannot last long on the
trail. The first day | walked out five
miles to the camp at the mouth of the
canon and carried my grip, which weigh
ed fifty pounds. After lunch | began to
pack on MY back, with others, taking
pack strap and strapping so pounds to my
back before starting up the canon. We
packed the first day something over one
ton nearly a mile. When night came all
were well tired out We concluded that
to pack six tons on our backs IA miles was
out of the question.
The trail most of the way is over the ice
in the bed of the stream, through the
canon. Boulders protrude through the
ice in every direction. In places the trail
is just wide enough for a sled to go; at
other places the ice is broken through and
bridges have to be thrown across. Some
times the blockade is so great that one is
obliged to wait long time. We made a
trade with some packers to- day to take all
of our goods to summit for four cents per
pound, amounting to 1852. 5O-the best
trade that has been made since it became
SO bad. Four weeks ago we could have

A Case OF Violence.

There is on record but one case of VIC
lence among the starving of Matanzas
city. In October, 1897, some 500 of the
reconcentrado women were put to work
by the mayor at filling in with sand a
morass on the outskirts of the city. Their
wage was 10 cents day to each woman.
When the work was finished the women
went in body to the mayor, asking him
what was to become of them now that the
morass was filled in and they had no more
money. "Pm sure Idon't know" answer
ed the mayor. The women were persistent
in their demands for work or food, and
the mayor was alarmed at this new feat
ure of the question. Finally he suggested,
in a moment of weakness, that the city
market was full-let them help themselves
there. He was taken at his word; in a
body the women moved on the surprised
marketmen. Their strength was in their
numbers, and they thoroughly cleared out
the stalls before the surprised vendors
could put up the shutters or drive them
away. [Harper's Weekly.

TIMBER LINE, Camp Middle Lake, Mar.
IS, '9S. We are all in camp except two,
McTaggart and Burrill, who have gone to
the summit with team. This is the first
bad day we have had since we left the
canon. 1t SHOWS little and blows hard.
We started from what is called the mid
die bridge, which is ) miles from the top
of the summit where the English flag is
flying and the Canadians have their Gus
tom House established. There we loaded
our sleds quite heavily, from three to four
hundred pounds each, and started for
Middle Lake, our present camp, distance
miles. To say We were tired when we
got there is puttingit mildly 1t made IA
miles travel that day, dragging loaded
sled nine miles of the fourteen over one of
the worst roads or trails that you could
imagine. For about three miles it was
nothing but pitches some of them to 10
feet deep and slewey. just ahead of us
horse and sled went down over the bank
some 100 feet, sled and horse rolling
over and over, but strange to say neither
horse or sled was injured, there being so
much snow.
There is probably some thirty to forty
thousand tons of provisions, hay, tools,
ETC., piled up on the summit, and steady
stream is coming and going all the time.
There are probably ten thousand people
on the trail from the canon to Lake Ben
nett from all parts of the world, of all
ages from 20 to 70 years of age. You may
say to Mrs. Leighton that if she wants to
see dumb animals abused to come out
here. 1t is something awful, but one does
not dare to say word. If you do, the re-
ply is "Go to HI and mind your own
business. Men are working just as hard
as the beasts. You pass men on the trail
who look haggard and completely used
up. We undertook to drag our six tons
from the canon to Lake Bennett, but after
two or three days work we gave it up and
got packers to pack it over the summit,
distance from the summit of % miles.
The pass from Log Cabin to Lake Bennett
is what all the men on the trail call ''Hell-
ish." There would be no use of my try
ing to describe the hardships that men

trail was in good order. Should this warm
weather continue much longer many will
be caught in the Pass or canon and will
probably lose most of their goods.
The weather is warmer this spring than
ever before known, even by the Indians
Our goods are five miles from where / am
writing, just over the mountain. We
will remain here until morning, then make
an early start, take our goods, our tents
and cooking utensils with some provisions
and haul them ourselves about seven miles
to where we can pitch our tent and get
wood to burn. We shall then get ready
for business. We shall probably make
one round tripa day, weather permitting,
until all of our goods are moved. We will
have from fifteen to nineteen miles fur
Their to haul our outfit before we get to

boats; so you see we have got some work

fore we left the canon, feeling sick. We
heard from him yesterday at Skagway.

Common sense Farming.

While there is no question about spe-
cialty farming and intensity farming
being most profitable, there is always
danger of narrowing the specialties
down so close that the failure Of crop
means using up all available cash II
not running into debt. In any and
all branches of farming the first prin-
eiple is to produce on the farm, as far
as possible, all the food needed by fam
lily and stock. This done, only the
money crops are to be considered, and
If two or three are properly studied
they can be managed as well as a sim
gle specially crop. Then, 500, # stock
is kept. the common-sense farmer will
try and grow such crops as will be-
readily marketable, yet have some por-
ton for stock food and leave the
ground to be utilized either for a sec
ond market crop or cattle food crop.
Thus, early peas will give a crop Of
vines for stock feeding and the ground
can be put in turnips and afterwards
seeded to winter rye, which will fur
nish an early spring green crop to the
stock. AS fast as the rye is cut the
land may be sown to peas and oats for
late green food if the pasture is likely
to be scant, or to fodder corn or barley
for fall feeding. The soil at all times
kept to the highest point of fertility,
the stock fed variety of food grown
on the place, the family fully supplied
Ii -,
and the money crop that which is best
understood and best marketed. is COM
mon sense and profitable farming.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Many Points which WIN Be Found OF
Beneht to the Poultry Raiser.
Paralysis is caused by overlooking
and lack of exercise.
Never feed sulphur in cold. damp
weather.
Wheat and buckwheat whiten the
nesh of fowls.
A hen that lays large number OF
eggs is never sleepy or droopy.
Reduce the winter stock of poultry
as much as possible to layers.
In dressing fowls for market; care
must be taken not to break the skin.
In dressing fowls remove every
feather and pin feather before the
fowls get cold
The man who economies on the feed
of the fowls never gets eggs in winter.
In feeding scatter the grain widely.
SO that all the fowls may have an equal
chance
Trying to stimulate egg production
with condiments does more harm than
good.
Hens will not lay when their COMBS
are frosted. Prevent this by giving
them warm quarters.
While fowls need to be kept warm
and dry. they also need exercise and
fresh air.
Dry-picked turkeys command much
better prices than scalded ones. Medi-
nm weights are the best.
To fatten fowls feed corn.
To keep a hen in good condition for
laying she should exercise for part
of her food. Slow feeding promotes
digestion.
One advantage with poultry on the
farm is that they pick up much that
would otherwise go to waste.
Keep the quarters clean and well
ventilated. The fowls cannot be
healthy if the quarters are unclean.
In nearly all cases if the hens get
sore feet or humble foot, it is because
the roosts are too high.
