makes more money per acre Of mis-
land asd per dollar of his capital than
the one who grows only wheat or corn
or cotton and sells it. 1t is not neces-
sary to entirely discontinue raising
these crops, but II we are to produce
a surplus to be sold in foreign mar
kets it is best to export that surplus
in the most condensed and marketable
form, as meat and animal products,
rather than in the original crude and
bulky state.
"In the long run the farmer will
make the most money who devotes his
fields to the growing Of forage crops
TO feed stock, making use Of all the
raw products at home, thereby saving
not only much of the cost of transpor-
tation, but maintaining the fertility OF
the SOIL BY doing so, corn-belt farm
ers will maintain their pre-eminence
in agricultural lines. Experience of
the past few months has shown that
the men who stuck to feeding and
were not tempted by high prices to
sell their corn have made the most
money. Anything that will enhance
the productive capacity OF our soils for
the production of forage conditions will
help the farmer"

HERE AND THERE.

With growing pigs especially the
food should always be given in
clean, wholesome condition, and never
allowed to sour.
Remember that the size of trees
does not always depend upon their
age, but upon the soil in which they
are planted and the care they receive.
Several Kentucky farmers have
lost quite a number of cattle, caused
by eating green tobacco that had been
sprinkled with paris green to kill
worms.
AS a general rule when necessary
to wean the pigs, it is better to let
them remain in the pen they have been
raised in than to take them away and
let the dam remain.
I'm handling bull always be care
full lest damage be done, not to the
bull, but to some one else. Some bulls
may be reliable, but it is not wise to
trust one of them further than you
can throw him by his tail, and the tail
well creased.
1t may seem extravagant for a
farmer of limited means to buy an ex-
pensive stallion, boar or bull, but oft
ener than otherwise it is the best in
vestment he could make of his small
amount of surplus funds 1t is the best
products that sell best.
Fifty fowls can be kept on a very
small bit of land if they are given good
care, and they should return at least 81
week the year round. Such flock
would pay a good many business men
in the benefit he would derive from
taking care of them.
Farmers are now giving moro at
tention to rotation of crops and green
manuring than ever before. The de-
mand for seeds of Ieguminous is great

the country In the southwest this de-
mand is for alfalfa, COW peas, spotted
medic .(burr. clover) and the vetches,
lespedeza, etc.

used as fuel. Curious geoloeists who
heard of the disks found that they
were nothing but coal money; for it
seems that ancient England, in pre-
Roman days, coins, or tokens of coal
shale were quite common, and we're
perforated in order to be strung to-
gether (like Chinese "kash'), that they
might be more conveniently carried
Not the least curious of these many
applications of coal, is coal-porcelain.
Just what can be done in the way IF
shaping bit of hard coal into USE
full vessel is shown by the accompany
ing illustration, from the Scientific
American, which represents drinking
cup or miniature bucket. Coal flower
vases, niilk-muss, plates and saucers,
book-covers, clock-framcs, wash-ba-
sins, inkstands, spools for lacework,
candlesticlxs, and scores of other arti-
cles are made in like fashion.
Since coal is a rather brittle sub
stance, it is impossible to produce the
ware. There are many natural minute
air-cells which may cause chipping in
the making of vessel Still, broken
or Clipped coal utensil can be nended
with cement just as readily as bit
of broken china.
A model coal-porcelain factory is to
be found at Summit Hill, Pa. Hero an
ex-coal miner and :. few associates
have for years been turning out ex-
quisite pieces of coal ware. Although
the firished coal product is cleanly
enough Gt can be washed in boiling
soapsuds without discoloring the wa
teri, still its manufacture is one of the
most uncleanly callings imaginable.
AS might be supposed, objects such as
that here pictured are turned on lathes.
These lathes are run at a very high
rate of speed. The peeling off of coal
particles gives rise to small clouds of
fire coal dust, which settle on every
thing in the lathe-room. The working
equipment of the coal-porcelain factory
is of the simplest Two or three chuck
and buff lathes, and a few hand tools
of the chisel-cutting and pick order.
are all that are needed The rest is
supplied by the good taste and skill of
the coal craftsman.
Only The very best blocks of the
hardest anthracite can be successfully
used in the manufacture of coal ware.
Blocks from what is known as the
Mammoth vein in the Lehigh region
are most priced 1t requires long cx-
perience and trained eye to determine
how piece of coal in the rough is
likely to behave under The cutting
lathe. The high. permanent polish
which can be given to coal by the buff
fing wheel serves the purpose of clos
ing many minute pores, and renders
the finished vessel impervious to hot or
cold liquids.
The price of coal-poreclain ware
averages about so cents a pound. The
manufacturer buys the raw material
for $3.50 ton. Fashioned into uten-
sils, the coal becomes worth about
$1,000 a ton.

A TWENTY INCH PIPE LINE.
Biggest Gas Main Ever LAID to Greene
County seon to go Down.

With seven great gas corporations
drawing their supplies rom Greene
county, for the cities of Pittsburg
and Wheeling and adjacent towns,
still another proposes to enter the
territory, says the Waynesburg Re
publican. The latest is the Peoples
Natural Gas company, the stock OF
which is said to be owned by the
Standard Oil company. The com
pany intends to lay 20 inch line
into and through the county, as it
will also tap some territory the
Standard has in West Virginia. A
survey was quietly made and rights
of way taken recently for pipe
line without stating what size it
would be. It now turns out that it
was for the Peoples line.
Last week Mr.. Sullivan, represent
ing the company, made contract
with Supt. Bower for hauling from
400 TO 600 car loads of the pipe over
the w. & w. railroad. 1t is the
biggest freight contract made by
the road since the laying of the
Philadelphia company's 16 inch
line into Greene county. The new
pipe line will be constructed from
Brownsville, Pa, to Weston, W. Va.
