KING GOALS CENTENNIAL
Historic Experiment Tried 100 Years
AGO

One hundred years ago February
eleventh the leading residents of the
town of Wilkesbarre, Pa, gathered in
Fell's tavern and successfully demon
strated the practical value of anthra-
cite coal as fuel The winter was
severe, and rumors having reached
the town that the black rock. which
was fuel and gave good heat, it
was decided to try it. At first the
landlord of the tavern hesitated. ow-
ing to the expense incurred in build
ing new fireplace, but after several
friends volunteered to stand their
share. Mr.. Fell consented A crate
was built and most of the notable
persons In the town assembled at the
tavern TO see the event, which was
successful beyond their most san
guine expectations. Mr.. Fell and his
companions circled eagerly about the
new fireplace, piled wood upon the
bottom of the grating, dumped coal
on top. and after igniting it. watched
breathlessly for results. After a
while some of the coal was seen TO
fall apart, but The greater part of it
glowed. and soon after burned mer-
rily. After the incident of that night
the practical use of anthracite coal
was assured
Recently, in celebration of the
centennial, the city officials of
Wilkesbarre and men prominently
identified with the coal industry iii
Pennsylvania and other states, as

/ as thick. with hair almost as tnlcH
and long. as that of the buffalos that
once roamed our plains, may endure
much more of cold and wind than the
dairy cow. The polar bear prefers
his bed on cake of ice to feather
bed, and the st. Bernard dog would
rather lie in a snowbank than by the
stove or on the straw, but we think
the dairy breeds of cattle have little
liking for cold weather
The one thing that we think quite
as important to them as either fresh
air or exercise is that of which they
are most frequently deprived in the
old-fashiened stables of those who be-
lieve in having them out of doors
during the day, and it may be that IL
is so necessary to their well-being
that few hours outing may do them
good enough to counterbalance the in
jury done by being out in the cold.
Sunlight is as necessary to the
thrifty and healthy growth of animals
as of plants. Every stable or place
where they are kept should he well
lighted upon the south side. not only
by having plenty of glass, but that
glass kept clean enough to allow the
sun to penetrate 1t freely. We have
seen glass so opaque with cobwebs
and dirt as to admit only enough light
to allow one to grope his way about
in semi-darkness. The dim religious
light" of the ancient and some modern,
churches, is not good enough for a
barn. We do not care for blue glass
or other stained glass, but want
clear, clean, transparent glass, that
will let in the full rays of the sun.
Even double sashes of glass now cost
but little more for the space they oc-
cupy than the siding and painted clap.
boards, or a single sash with a curtain
to shut out the cold at night.
Not every one can afford new barns
with the modern improvements, but
many old ones could be so changed at
small expense as to make the stables
much warmer and lighter, and when
this is done they will be found a bet
ter place for dairy cows than the
barnyard, when the temperature is
below freezing, or when there is a
cold wind or rain.
With grains at present prices, there
is no better economy than to keep the
cattle in comfortably warm stables.
1t saves food, and stimulates better
milk production. With sunlight and
pure air it prevents disease, and for
young and growing stock it gives
thrifty growth that cannot be obtain
ed in the barnyard. 1t protects from
accidents which may occur when one
animal is quarrelsome or tyrannlcal
over weaker ones. and If the arrange.
ments are such that they must be let
out to drink, make the hours of out
ing as brief as possible, letting out a
few at time seeing that all have
chance to get to the trough before
they are put in and others let out

payment of note for $40, In which
the rate of interest was fixed at 20
per cent per month The note was
given October 10. 1899, to James b.
Brooks. The interest amounted to
81 n month. and Isaacs paid 1t for i've
months. The suit was brought orig
inally in the Justices court. and Jus

ment last year against Knox on the
ground that the interest was uncon-

remarked that the interest seemed

when the loan was made Isaacs pro
