The Vital Need of Coal.

The industries by which markets are
supplied and the communications land or
sea, by which these markets are reached
have, since 1915, come to depend more
and more upon COAL The twentieth cen
fury will see a marked increase in the
price of the coal of the United Kingdom.
OF European powers, Russia has by far
the greatest reserve of coal. India. Aus
tralia and South Africa will come to the
aid Of the British empire; but the Unit
ed States must become the center of the
worlds coal supply to be, in the far fu-
ture, perhaps supplanted by China and
Japan How these changes will affect
the relative sea power of nations it would
be rash to attempt to predict.-Nine-

A Gun to Shoot Fifteen Miles.

The royal gun factories at Woolwich
have, 1t is stated, just turned out gun
with range SO much in excess Of any
previous ordnance that the government
range at Shoeburyness has been found
insufficient for ascertaining it's maximum
range. When fired for the first time. the
shot went out to sea miles beyond the
targets. Though the range of the new
weapon has not been actually measured
or calculated, artillerists estimate it at
fifteen miles. or about ten miles more
than that of the latest rife small arms

New Method Of Corn Culture.

Experiments in Nebraska have demon
trated that shallow cultivation of corn
is more effective than the customary deep
err stirring of the soil Four acres of
land were divided into trial tracts of one
acre each, and the land which was stirred
to the depth of six inches yielded fifty
nine bushels. while the land that was
stirred to the depth of only three inches
yielded sixty-eight bushels. The theory
Of shallow cultivation is that it does not
dry out the roots during seasons when
the rain is below normal. 1t also spares
the roots, which by deep cultivation are
torn from the soil and prevented from
securing the proper amount of nourish-
ment for the growing plant.

The liberal use of kerosene in the chick

very cffectual. Kerosene and lice have
never been on friendly terms and they
have never kept each others company for
more than ten minutes. The hens and
outlets that stagger around and &C,

WHY WE'RE RIGHT-HANDED.
Location of the Heart the Chief Cause
Of ingle-Handed uess,

10 the boxer, wrestler, or hand-to-hand
combatant, the most vulnerable portion
of the body is undoubtedly the heart. A
hard blow, well delivered OH the left
breast, will easily kill-or at any rate
stun-even a strong man. Hence, from
an early period men have used the right
hand to fight with, and have employed
the left arm chiefly to cover the heart
and to parry Il blow aimed at that spe-
cially vulnerable region. When weapons
of offense and defense superseded the
fist 1t was the right hand that grasped
the spear and sword, while the left held
over the heart the shield or buckler.
From this simple origin, then, the
whole vast difference in civilized life
takes its beginning. At first no doubt
the superiority of the right hand was
only felt in the manner Of fighting. But
that alone gave it prominence, and paved
the way for its supremacy elsewhere.

Bran for Cows ut Pasture.

Though cows at pasture in June will
not eat grain or meal, they will come to
such food readily as soon as pastures fail.
We believe they will never refuse bran
mash made with hot water and with a
pinch of salt put in to flavor it. This is
probably the best way to give cows salt.
Mixed with their feed they will chew the
food more thoroughly when it is brought
uD in the cud and mix more saliva with
it. The bran is especially beneficial to
increase milk yield, as it furnishes the
heterogeneous and mineral elements that
grass and corn fodder are usually def
cicnt in. The only danger in feeding
bran is that it may so increase the milk
yield as to make the COW become thin.
This evil may he prevented by adding
some corn and oat meal to the bran when
it is made into Il mash.

Care of Orchards.

During Il recent trip covering portions
of three states we paid particular atten
ton to the condition of orchards. There
was notable differences to be observed
Some apple orchards were loaded with
fine fruit. while in the same vicinity We're
others in which hardly an apple could be
seen. In every case where there was Il
good crop the orchard had been cultivat-
ed in some way. In one orchard that
made particularly-fn showing the
whole surface had been turned over by a
herd of hogs that We're busily at work
as We passed. 1t could be seen that the
hogs had been fed enough to keep them
in fair condition and they had done fine
job Of digging. think the soil had been
turned over to a depth of at least twelve
inches and the hogs had kept the fallen
apples closely picked up, no doubt. This
manner of cultivating an orchard is not
to be recommended, but it is better than
to leave the trees to fight for their lives
in Il thick turf that absorbs the moisture
needed by the trees.
1t may be laid down as a general rule
that fruit trees need cultivating at every
stage CT their growth. The experience Of
fruit-growcrs shows this to be true, and
the fact that the almost-u lly-neg
lected orchards of the farms of the coun-
try are not commercially profitable points
to the same truth.
1t is in most cases a waste of both land
and labor to plant an orchard and then
fail properly to cultivate it.-Farmers

How to Make II Cheap Power.

Many of us wish for things which we
have to deny ourselves, but horsepower
for various farm work, like churning.
pumping water, threshing. cutting fodder,
etc, may be secured with little or no
outlay if the farmer is fairly ingenious
and willing to work under cover when
he cannot work out of doors. \ power
for use with one to four horses can be
constructed that will be in the way but
little. 1t may consist of a wooden or
iron shaft, mortised into wooden bear
ingS. and Il drum or large pulley, made
fast to it overhead. The bearings for
the shaft may be made of wood and.
kept we'll cilcd, will never wear out. The
lower end of the shaft may be set in
the end of Il hardwood post, let into the
shed or barn floor. The drum is to car
ry the belt, and must be made large
if rapdity is desired in the machines to
tc run. If the machines require a GER
tain speed, build the drum to correspond
with the size of the pulleys. Near
enough to the foot of the shaft for easy
draft set heavy staples through which to
put levers for the sweep.
The levers may be removed when the
power is not in use, so the connection

shaft and drum have belt leading to

pulley on the counter-shaft and another
belt runs thence from small pulley to
the machine. This would slow up the
speed greatly. If the belt from the
crank shaft Or drum turned the small
pulley, it would turn it fast as it would
need to rcvolve many times while the
drum went around once. Then belt
from the larger pulley on the same shaft
would make Il little pulley, say inches
i'll diameter. OH the feed-cutter, fairly

incrt ase of speed may be derived by belt
ing from large to small pulleys.
