After, Crop. Are Removed.

When the crops are removed fror
the garden burn the ground over so as
to destroy the weeds and seeds. 1t may
then be plowed and seeded to rye, if
not too late in the season at the time

spring. The object should be to avoid
having weeds in the garden, so as to
render the work less difficult during
the busy season, and if this matter is
carefully attended to there will be nc
weeds to kill in two Oh three seasons
The rye should be ploweG under in the
spring before it begins to dry out the

Condiments In Stock Ration.

Condiments in the feeding of bull
locks have been found by actual tests
made in Europe to be of but little
value. Molasses gave the best results
of any, but was apt to bring on
looseness which could be checked only
by reducing the quantity given. A
quarter of pound a day was found to
be all bullock could take. 1t has not
been proved that the condiment en-
ables the bullock to consume more
bulky food, like straw and hay chat
Bullocks fed with molasses were ad-
judged ready for the market sooner
than the others, but their carcasses
yielded the least meat and brought the
least returns.

NOBODY WANTED TT.
A Hundred Years Ago Anthracite
Coal Went Begging.
Man who First Brought 1t to Phil
adelphia Was Denounced as an
y Impostor by the Wixest
Quakers.
Especial Washington Letter.l


THERE has been greut deal said
and written about anthracite
coal, during the past year, but
nobody has told anything interesting
about where it comes from.
There lives in Philadelphia vet
eran newspaper correspondent, well
known to the writer, who is now about
IS years young; and he has been all
over the region lately, with his nose
for news and his accurate descriptive
methods. He writes: Similar to the
electric telegraph, the type-setting
machine, the graphophone, telephone
and all other newly-discovered facts
or laws of nature, coal had hard time
winning its way with the people,"
There is local author named Wat
son, full name not given, from whose
writing, of 1857, is quoted the follow
ing: 1.-THE Mount Carbon coal was
known to exist in the neighborhood
more than so years ago (about 1900,
and some search was made. But the
coal found being so very different
from any which was previously
Lnown, it was not thought to be of any
value, and the search was abandoned"
This means that more than 100 years
ago people were digging beneath the
soil for their fuel, but were not salts
fed with the product found. The
mountains were covered with bound
less forests, and SO the average labor
er or business man. pointing to the
trees, inquired: "Why dig?"
1T is supposed to be 1o7 years."
says Watson, "since blacksmith of
the name of Milestone found coal
and used it in his srnithshop. At a very
early period Judge Cooper declared
his belief of the existence of coal in
the district, and Messrs. Potts ex-
plored various places along the old
Sunbury road, but success did not at
tend their operations. A Mr.. William
Morris afterwards became the pro-
prietor of most of the coal lands at
the head of the canal; he found coal
and took some quantity to Philadel-
Phia about the year 1900, but all his
efforts to bring it into use failed and
he abandoned the project and sold his
lands to their late proprietor, Mr..
Potts.
1T does not appear that much no.
tice was taken of the coal from the
time of Milestone, and the search
made by Messrs. Potts, until about
1929, when person of the name of
Peter Bastrus, blue dyer, in build
ing the valley forge, found coal in the
tailrace. About the same time Mr..
David Berlin, blacksmith in that
neighborhood, permanently COM
menced and introduced the use of
stone in the smiths forge, and con-
tinued to use and instruct others in
its use many years afterwards. But
old habits again became victorious,
and appear to have held undisputed
sway until Mr.. George Shoemaker, an
innkeeper at Pottsville, and Nicholas
Allen discovered coal on piece of
land they had purchased, now called
Centreville. Allen soon became dis
heartened and gave up the concern to
Shoemaker, who, receiving encourage
ment from some gentleman in Phila-
delphia, got out quantity of coal and

In my hog house have lost but two
pigs by thumps since 1897. The tank
on cooker can be removed and made
a regular stove, and, when it is cold,
a good hot fire is made from chunks
of knotty wood, which cannot be
worked up for the kitchen stove. If
the little doors are made six by eight
inches the little pigs will come out and
run back and forth in the alleys, as in
summer. In the cooking room have
a shallow trough two inches deep, ten
inches wide, four to six feet long. In
this is put some cooked whole wheat
and cracked corn made up for the pigs.
In one end is cross cleat about 10
inches from the end of the trough. In
this end some dry earth is put for the
pigs to dig and exercise in; earth
from the fall plowing of sod is best.

TOBACCO MEN ON
CUBAN RECIPROCITY

Washington. Jan. 2l.-The Ways ,
and Means Committee today resumed
Its hearings on Cuban reciprocity with |
special reference to the proposed re-
duction on Cuban tobacco. The tobac-
co interests of the United States were
largely represented. the officers of the
large leaf. manufacturers and growers
associations being present.
John II. Young. president Of the Ma
tlonal Leaf Tobacco Association. made
an earnest plea against any tobacco
concessions to Cuba. He said there un-
doubtedly was a public sentiment In
favor OF granting relief to Cuba, but he
contendcd that we should be as just to
the people OF our own country as to
the people OF foreign countries.
The purpose of the movement for
reciprocity, he said. was to have the
whole expense of Cuba's relief fall
on two American industries-tobacco
and sugar. There was now 4 tobacco
acreage in Ohio of $4,000 acres; Wis
consin. $4,000; Pennsylvania, $4,000:
New York. 10000; Connecticut. 1000
and several thousand acres in other
States, which would be seriously Grip
Piled.
As to cigars, Mr.. Young declared that
the proposed concessions would wipe
out the American made l0-Ccnt cigar
| The Cuban cigar maker would lay
down cigar here for less than the
American manufacturer receives for
his high grade goods and the Cuban
would have the advantage OF having
his goods advertised as imported ci.

secure for Cuba the entire American
market for all goods above > cents.
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee asked II the price OF cigars
would he reduced to the cigar smoker
Mr.. Young said the price would be
reduced. but he did not believe the con
sumer would ask this reduction at the
expense of the American industry.
J. Wertheim of New York, head o!
q cigar concern, employing 5000 peo'
pie presented the serious effect of con-
Germs on the American cigar interests.

Poole, whose death occurred on the
Sth inst at Chilmark, Martha's Vine
yard, Mass, arrived at Sebastopol
Thursday and were inferred in the Ma

Poole went east to revisit the place of
his birth, and, finding the old scenes
and old friends congenial in his de-
clining years. remained at Chilmark
and finally his life closed peacefully
there.
The death of Captain Poole removes
a figure once conspicuous among sea-
iaring men on the Pacific Coast. As
early as 1874 Captain Poole. coming
around the Horn, arrived in San Fran

the few inhabitants of Yerba Buena.
During the early days of gold seeking
