The Land Of WindmiIIs.

Great tapping sails all over the land
make Holland look as IL a flock of huge
sea birds were just settling upon IL.
There are said to be at least 10000 of
these windmills in Holland. They are
employed in saving timber, beating
hemp, grinding corn and many other
kinds Of work; but their principal use
is for pumping water from the low
lands into tue canals and for guarding
against the inland freshets that so
often deluge the country. Many of the
windmills are quite simple affairs, but
some Of the new ones are admirable.
They are so constructed that by an in
genious contrivance they present their
fans or wings to the wind in precisely
the right direction to work with the
requisite power. In other words, the
miller may indulge in quiet little
sleep ard leave his mill to study the
winds and make the most of them
without his assistance.
II there is only q little wind every
sail will spread itself to make the most
of it; but IL a big "blow" should come
they will all shrink up and give it only
half a chance to move them If you
want to see windmills In all their glory

GREAT COKE AND COAL YEAR.
Tremendous Output of Both Expected
in Wesfern PeuusYlYauia in 1000.

Tremendous Output of Both Expected
in Western Pennsylvania in 1900.
This year will witness the greatest
era in the coke and coal regions OF
Western Pennsylvania in their history.
In the Connellsville coke region more
new ovens will be built than in any
previous year, and the coke production
will be increased fully 20 per cent.
There are now projected and in the
course Of erection more than 1000 new
ovens, which will be put in operation
by the middle of the coming summer,
which will run the total of the coke
region up to $1,000 ovens. At the be-
ginning Of the present year there were
in operation in the region 1904 ovens.
During the past twelve. months the
price Of coke has nearly doubled, and
the demand to-day greatly exceeds the
production. At the present price, So,
the business Is most profitable. Two
years ago coke was selling for 81 a ton.
The production of the coke region for
1897 was 100000 tons. while during
the year 1899 9,529,0O0 tons was ship
ped from the Connellsville region. The
1897 product was valued at $4,000, 900,
while that of last year represented a
value Of $20,500000. The enlarged ca
pacity will increase the product for
1900 to about 100000 tons, with a
value of nearly $3O,O00,000.
Just now there is famine in coke.
The famine Is not acute because coke
can be had for immediate delivery, but
only in small quantities. Coke makers
are just now getting So ton for fur
mace coke and 1928 for foundry coke.
Western Pennsylvania coke is now
bringing $3.50 at Cincinnati and $3.50
at st. Louis. All kinds of coal have
greatly advanced Id prices, and to-day
there is not an idle mine In all Western
Pennsylvania. In many cases the
wages of the miners have been ad-
vanced greatly. The coal famine has
induced many large Pittsburg consum-
ers to buy up coal lands, and many new
mines will be opened soon. A large syn
dictate, formed of Pittsburg consumers,
has obtained control Of more than
100000 acres Of rich coal lands
around the city. and will operate mines
to supply their manufacturing plants.

To Mike Cloth Fireprooc.

The American consul at Freiburg,
Germany, reports an Interesting dis
covery by German scientists. the appli-
cation of which will render cloth and
wood fireproof. The material used to
bring about this result is now being
manufactured by German firm, and
great things are expected of it. The
American consul declares that he has
experimental with the discovery. and
has found that curtains. carpets, cloth
ing, draperies and wood to which the
liquid has been applied refuse to yield
to flame. Even when CLOTH was covered
with kerosene and the oil burned out
the fiber Of the goods was only charred,
while the piece remained intact. 1t is
claimed that with the use, Of this chem

is therefore impracticable for outdoor
use. Garments, curtains or carpets that

BoER PRISONERS.

The problem Of the disposition of Boer
prisoners captured in the engagements Of
the South African war has been solved
by the British in the employment of pris-
on ships. Two ships have been assigned
by the authorities for this purpose-the
Penelope and the Cephalonia. One Of
these ships is kept anchored in Simons
bay, near Cape Town, for the reception
of prisoners of war who are brought to
\ it from time to time by the other. From
the front the captured Beers are brought
to Natal and conveyed from there to the
coast at Durham. Here they are taken
on board the Penelope. On board the
Penelope the prisoners pre- cared. for I'M
til sufficient number have been receiv-
ed, when the ship weighs anchor and
starts on her voyage along the coast to
Simons bay. At the anchorage of the
Cephalonia the prisoners are transferred
and the Penelope starts on her trip back
to Durham for another load.

Changing Plans.

The farmer who Is continually chang
ing his breeds Of stock or his favorite
crops is very seldom money maker.
He is apt to find out that he made the
change just little too late. He sees
some one making money on beef cattle,
and he abandons dairy farming to breed
fat cattle, only to learn that he ought to
have bred hogs. He tries hogs, and be-
comes convinced that sheep are more
profitable. He gives up crop that he
knows how to. grow to take up some
speciality that his neighbor has found
a profitable one, and few years. ex-
perience, tcAches him how to grow 1t,
but it also Teaches him that he could
have bought his experience much
cheaper. We do not mean that a man
should not Change his breeds of stock,
his crops or his methods of farming,
but he wig do well to make his changes
gradually, and not part with good
thing every time he thinks any one else

Cure for Collie in Horses.

When a horse takes the collie, procure
some gunpowder containing saltpetre,
which acts upon the kidneys. Char
coal and soda, which act on the stom-
ach and the intestines. To give relief
.drench the horse with this; or, better,
take saltpetre, alum, charcoal and
laudanum, equal parts, and make a
drench and give the horse. These are
all safe with the exception of the laud-
anum. Be careful not to give over an
ounce of the laudanum. Keep horse
well blanketed and in good warm sta
bic. See that he is not driven hard nor
overheated, as this will cause collie;
also, see that he has plenty Of water,
but not too much, and feed.-H. A.

Care of Sheen.

There are two things that the sheep
need as much as any animals on the
farm. They need fresh air and they
need exercise. The sheep shed should be
SO built that when II rains or SHOWS SO
that the sheep cannot take their daily
run in the field, the windows or upper
half doors can be opened to allow the
fresh air to enter freely. If they have
not been shorn they will not feel the
cold, and only those who grow winter
lambs shear in the fall. But whenever
the weather. is suitable they should
have run out in the field, not yard
bare of grass and filed with mud and
manure. but in an open feld.~.E Even in
a damp day they may be out for a
short time, but not long enough to get
their wool wet through. The uneasiness
of sheep when In d pasture shows their
need of exercise. They will not eat and
lie down as a cow does, and some of the
