For the purpose of showing the condi-
ton of the anthracite coal fields two
months after the close of the recent sus-
pension. the anthracite coal operators an
nounced that in all the active coleries
mining is progressing satisfactorily. Full
ly so per cent. of the workers who alb
scented themselves as a result of the sus-
pension ordered by President Mitchell on
April l, and discontinued on May Is,
by agreement with the operators, have
returned or been replaced. The output
of anthracite for June was J,61G,0lS
tons, only slightly below the output for
June, 1905.

USE OF. COTTONSEED OIL.
While 1t May BE Used As n Fertil-
izer Ingredient There IL q
Better Use For 1t.

The following is in answer to the
queries of correspondent:
If our correspondent has land that
is in fair condition that produced a
good crop of peas last year, he will not
be called upon to add any greater
quantity of nitrogen to his fertilizer.
He might use for the purpose fer
tilizer composed of 1000 pounds of
acid phosphate; 400 pounds kainit,
and 400 pounds of cottonseed meal, On
land where cowpeas had not been used
Immediately preceding the cotton CROP
mixture composed of 900 pounds acid
phosphate; 800 pounds cottonseed meal,
and 800 pounds of kainit may be used
From 200 to 800 pounds of either mix
ture may be used per acre.
For fertilizer for corn would sug-
gest 1000 pounds acid phosphate; $50
pounds of cottonseed meal, and so
pounds of muriate of potash; or 900
pounds of acid phosphate, 900 pounds
of cottonseed meal, and 200 pounds of
kainit, using from 200 to 400 pounds
of the mixture per acre. These mix
lures are all tried ones and have given
favorable results.
II is not out of place here for me to
give expression again to the idea, as |
have frequently done, that it is foolish
and unwise to bury cottonseed meal in
the ground when it is such an admir-
able cattle food. While cottonseed
meal is splendid fertilizing material.
it is so valuable as a cattle food that
every pound made should be fed to live
stock, returning it to the land not In
the form of original cottonseed meal.
but in the form of manure made from
feeding live stock. BY doing this we
can get double value from cotton
seed meal: first, feeding value; and,
second, manurial value / always
like TO take dollar for the purchase
of fertilizers and get first a dollars
worth of feed and at the same time a
dollars worth of plant food value from
the resulting manure. This is surely
wise farming and the only rational
method for permanently improving the
land. II We can reach that point where
we may realize this fact-that every
man using cottonseed meal as a fer
tilizer the coming year might first feed
that quantity of cottonseed meal that
goes into the fertilizer to live stock,
we would add millions of dollars an
nuaily to the value of this great prod
act, and add at the same time millions
of dollars TO the value of land.-C. w.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
WITHOUT HAND CHoppING.
The Experience of n Successful Cot
ton Raiser I'm Dispensing With
Hand ChOpping.

The reduction of acreage and the
holding of cotton for better prices, i'm
portant as they are, are not the only
questions that are now being agitated
by the cotton farmers of the south. The
third question, closely allied to the first
two, and of equal Importance, is the
production of cotton at the least pos
sible cost.
With the hope that it may be of
value as well as interest to some one,
we give below the experience of one of
the most successful cotton raisers of
Wake county. North Carolina, Mr.. H.
b. Bagwell, manager on Mrs. f. P.
fuckers farm, near Raleigh. Every
farmer realizes what an important item
In the expense account the chopping of
cotton is, and has always been. A fair
proportion of what might otherwise
have gone on the credit side of the
ledger has gone to the hoe hands"
And now, with the present scarcity of
labor, the item of shopping is a big
ger one than ever, because 1t Is in
NN0NS oAhlOot tluPOoclDlO W GET
the crop chopped at any price. Many
devices for doing the work have been
tried, but as yet no machine has ever
been found that could be operated sue
cessfully.
Yet Mr.. Bagwell, on his own farm at
feast, has solved the problem. Last
year he cultivated ninety acres in cot
ton and the entire cost of hoeing did
not exceed SIS. And-think of tt
twenty acres did not have a hoe put
in il at ALL
Perhaps the skeptical, and those who
are welded to the old order of things
will say that there is not much cotton
produced on this farm. Listen, then:
The ninety acres produced 172 bales.
The method followed is simple
enough. The first point is in the bed of
rows. They are made as high as pos
sible. Then the seed are put in the
ground three and a half inches deep
and three bushels are put to the acre.
The deep planting will insure a stand
If the weather is dry and will also al
low the cultivation which follows.
Just before the cotton comes up an
ordinary two-horse, spike-tooth har-
row is run over the rows, crosswise or
bias, and an inch of the top of the row
comes off, together with the quickly
terminating grass seeds.
Then just as it comes up the opera
ton is repeated, and another coat of
grass is killed and the cottop~is partly
thinned.
After the cotton all gets up the har-
row is run over it, with the rows. and
the third crop of grass is killed and
the cotton is brought to about the de-
sired stand, some of it, as we have
said. not having a hoe put into it at
all.
OF course close cultivation follows
the use of the harrow and the grass is
never allowed to get start.
If Mr.. Bagwell can save money in
this way, it must be that others can.
For twenty-nine years his cotton has
taken first prize at the state fair. and
his experience is worth something.
He believes in deep blowing and
thorough preparation of the land. a
liberal use of fertilizers properly ap-
piled, and close cultivation.-Jesse E.
Clark, in Progressive Farmer.

HERE AND THERE.

The farmer who has good sheds
and barns for feed and stock is the one
who not only gets the most profit but
the most comfort.
The best of foods do not give the
best results when fed in excess. Live
stock and the human family are alike
in this. We tire of the food we like the
best il we have too much of it too
often.
The farmer who sells eggs and but
ter on his trips to town should add
vegetables to his supply. Small towns
procure their celery, egg plants, cauli-
flower and small fruits from the large
cities because farmers prefer to grow
staple crops and neglect the gardens.
-Forehanded farmers are now busy
with preparatory work and as soon AS
the ground is in order will start the
plow and go right ahead without a
balk. Then his slow neighbor will go
on tour of discovery with a view of
finding and investigating the condi-
ton of his implements.
When a flock of sheep is kept on
a field the land will be made fertile in
a short time, as the sheep not only dis
tribute the manure, but press it into
the ground by trampling, the loss be-
ing but little. For that reason 1t has
been said that ''the foot of the sheep
is gold TO the land"
To find the number of trees or
plants on an acre, multiply the dis
lance in feet between the rows by the
distance trees are apart in the rows;
the product will be the number of
square feet for each tree. which diyid.
ed into the number of square feet in
an acre (43,560) will give the num-
Der of trees to the acre.
One of the strongest evidences In
favor of dairying is the fact that few,
If any, farmers abandon dairying in
order to turn their attention to other
pursuits on the farm, unless ii be to
raise stock. The value of dairy Is not
alone from the receipts obtained for
milk and butter, but also from the
gradual increase of the fertility of the
soil.
Wood ashes are excellent on all
grass lands and in orchards. They may
also be applied broadcast in any guam
tity desirable as many as 100 bushels
per acre having been used on certain
soils. 1t is seldom that a farmer can
accumulate a sufficient amount of
ashes for a large field. but on farms
where wood is used there is always
enough TO keep the garden and lawn
around the house in high state OF
fertility.

Get RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable Il to
Do It's Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action Of the heart and lungs
These gases have other i'll effects. Tho
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish Just as coon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs q tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva O. Iadd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: al had a weak stomach
from the time was a little child.
Whenever took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and / would
finally vomit what ] had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days in succession, / would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often SO great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
iisagreeable, too.
my doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until I tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills that found cure.
Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body We're not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found,
that / was altogether free from the
