worlds coal production amounted to

piled but 80 millions. or about IS per
cent of the whole, being exceeded by
Great Britain with 40 million tons. and
Germany with over SO millions. From
1870 to 1903 the growth in the world S
coal production has been from 213 mil

lions in 1903. gain of 651 million tons,
or over 800 per cent.
The United States, the United King
dom. and Germany supplied four-fifths
of the worlds coal product, the share
contributed by these countries being,
United States. 81 per cent; United King
dom. 27 per cent; and Germany. 1914 per
cent. These countries also lead in the
production of domestic manufactures,
and in like rank in the expectation of
domestic products. For 1908, exports of
domestic products from the countries
named We're, Germany, 1.2O billions of
dollars; United Kingdom, 1.42 billions;
and the United States, LA billions
OF this enormous output of $40 million
tons by the United States, practically
the entire amount is consumed in the
domestic market, as the exports of coal
have averaged but about 515 million
tons per annum during the last five
years, and have never exceeded more
than 3 per cent OF the total product of
a single year. Imports of coal into the
United States are also SMALL and in the
last calendar year amounted to but
about IL million tons, as against 8 1-3
millions in 1908, having averaged about
IL millions per annum in the decade
from 1894 to 1903. The United Kingdom,
however, is the worlds greatest expor-
ter of coal, her annual exports having
ranged between 35 and 40 million tons,
out of total product of from 200 to 23O
million tons during the last five years.

MRS. CHADWICK HOME.
To Select What She VIII Save From
the Wreck.

Cleveland, O.. March 15.-Mrs.
Chadwick. accompanied by two dep
uty United States marshals, left the
county Jail today in a closed carriage
and was driven to her old home for
a farewell visit. With the exception
of $500 worth of personal effects ex-
ennpt from the claims of creditors, al
of the furnishings and other personal
property in the house will be sold at
public auction by Trustee Lozer next
FRIDAY. Mrs Chadwick was granted
permission by Judge Tayler of the
federal court to visit her home today
to decide upon what property she
would retain. 1t evidently was a try
ing ordeal for the convicted woman.
Immediately upon entering the sump-
tuously furnished residence she broke
down and wept bitterly. It was her
first visit to the house since last No

New. York.

gained her conposure she began tour

BRONZE GRASS.

A reader wants to know something
more about bronze grass. We have
frequently referred to this grass and
repeat what has been before said,
that we do not think that it has any
place wherever timothy, clover or al
.falfa will grow It has a place, how
ever, In the dry sections, where the
rainfall does not exceed ten or twelve
inches, for there it will grow and do
we'll, while none Of the grasses named
will. 1t should only be used as a per-
manent pasture grass, for it is exceed
ingly tenacious of life and very diff
cult to eradicate from any field where
1t once gets foothold. 1t closely re-
sembles timothy when made into hay,
but does not possess either the palata-
bility or nutritive value Of that grass.
If we were located where we could not
raise any other kind Of grass we would
by all means try the bronze grass.

NATURE STUDY.

The question Of teaching agriculture
In the public schools Is a matter which
is receiving much attention just now
all over the country. We do not in
cline to the belief that it is advisable
to make agriculture one Of the fixed
studies, but do believe that a course of
nature studies, largely given out of
doors to the pupils, can be made Of i'm
mense usefulness. Object lessons on
tree, plant and flower, on the evolu-
ton Of plant life, knowledge of the
birds and insects, Of the clouds, the
rain, snow and frost, of the winds, of
the distribution of seeds-in word, of
all the common things of life-would
prove most valuable part Of the edu-
cation Of any child. And it is kind
Of knowledge which all children are en-
thused to have and acquire, never re-
garding the obtaining Of 1t as in any
sense drudgery

HA1LsTORMs.

This Is the season Of hailstorms, q
type of storms indigenous to the Pc
culiar climatic conditions of the great
Mississippi valley and the central west
and which, while not destructive of
human life, are in the limited areas
covered by them as ruinous to grow
ing crops as any tornado They are
usually the sequence of marked
heated term and are one phase Of
disturbed thermal condition, an effort
Of nature to restore an equilibrium of
natural forces upset by the heat of
the sun. These hailstorms are of two
types-those with wind and those with
out. The former are bad enough,
while the wreck wrought by the latter
has to be seen to, be appreciated.
There is no known means of preven-
ton. Man can simply look on and
then figure up his losses. Fortunately
such storms seldom cover large area
of territory, are seldom more than a
mile wide and from three to five miles
In length, and the same territory is
seldom visited twice by them. A pol
icy in some reliable insurance COM
pany is probably the best protective
measure to adopt. ...,.,..4 1871,

cows AND PROSPERITY.

We know Of western farming COM
munity which for many years has only
just held it's own by raising corn and
oats to sell and in the doing Of this
has greatly impaired the productive
power Of the soil Of it's farms, which
two years ago made friends with the
dairy COW, with the result that a Won
derful transformation has been effect
ed not only in the financial condition
Of the people, but in the fertility Of
the farms. 1t is now grass, clover, the
silo, fertilized and we'll cared for corn
crops, monthly income from the
dairy and general air Of agricultural
improvement noticeable all over the
district. The COW will work out this
sort of a reformation every time, has
done it for the east and will do it for
the west. The poor farmer-the one
who is poor in money-should always
take the COW in as partner and CO.
worker.

FLAX BINDING TwINE.

Binding twine of excellent quality
from fax fiber is an assured thing in
the very near future-in fact, is already
In the market. The process involves
the sowing Of the flax somewhat more
thickly than is common where the crop
is grown for the seed alone, the twine
factory taking the crop of the farmer
as soon as it is harvested and paying
him what Is very handsome price for
1t. The fax is then treated by newly
discovered process, the seed saved and
the fiber so prepared as to make very
desirable quality of binding twine,
which can be sold to the grain growers
of the country at a much lower price
than it is possible to sell twine for
made Of imported raw material. If the
new product Is all that Is claimed for
1t, it will result In making the fax
crop by all odds the most profitable one
to raise in all the new portions of the
northwest. Up to the present time
nearly all the valuable fiber of the fax
fields has been burned up and wasted.
