The state board Of agriculture will
hold the last farmers meeting for the
winter at Wilmington Friday, March
8. The meetings have been well at
tend. Nearly every hall has been full
before the close of the meetings and
in several cases an adjournment to a
larger hall has been necessary. John
Gould Of Ohio has proved a most pop
ular and instructive speaker and has
done much good.

it will be found almost impossible to
secure enough horses for the cavalry
branch of the army, and the whole
country is being secured to get as many
as are wanted for immediate service.
Cavalry horses must be sound and

they are required. Such horses are LA
BILE to be called upon for something of
speed and much of endurance, because
the cavalry of an army must often ride
long and fast. Those for the artillery

even If the war is but a brief one, will
call for a larger number than are i'm

Use of Coal ON steamers.

The amount of coal consumed by
vessel during voyage depends largely
upon the speed, for the consumption of
coal increases almost in a geometrical
ratio to the speed. There are many
ships which burn from 100 to 300 tons
of coal per day, the lowest consump-
ton being when the vessel is sailing at
a moderate rate. Our men-of-war donot
consume SO much in proportion as swift
passenger steamers which ply between
Europe and America, for, unless in an
emergency, they are not driven at the
highest attainable speed. The ocean
passenger steamers often burn from
$500 to $500 tons during a voyage last
ing six to seven days, though, of course.
as already stated, the amount is largely
dependent on the speed.

says the Railway Age, "for the mani

charge of trains why they are blocked
and to do away with the necessity for
the operator to remove the red signal
from trains in one direction. and the
possibility of losing control of trains,
for which the operator has orders, while
allowing trains for which he has no or
ders to continue their journey. 1t has
been the practice hitherto, when train
was blocked, for the engineer and con-
ductor to remain at their respective
posts for some minutes, awaiting the
block to be given them"
