G.. D.. Able, Vice President and

last week and has established head
quarters in this city for the purpose
of looking after the interests Of the
new corporation who recently pur-
chased the extensive coal, clay and
mineral fields in this county.
A representative Of the Democrat

movements Of his company at the
present time, and found him quite
enthusiastic with regard to what they
were doing. The members Of the
corporation are James Applewhite

board of directors.
General Manager Able is making
every arrangement to push matters.
Contractor f. Grant Wolff is also
here to begin operations. and these
gentlemen will 60 over the route with
the Division superintendent Of the
Rock Island and an expert engineer
to locate a road-bed for a spur and
switches to give them proper railway
facilities.
BEGINNING OPERATIONS.
The first field of operation will be-
gin on Richland creek, five miles
northwest of town where the main
body of coal lies. This is the Hub
bard & Moore, the Bailey and Hud-
son properties covering 1873 acres
The first mov being to get this prop
erty in shape to mine and ship coal.
This property extends for owe three
miles along Richland ridge, and be.
sides containing abundance OF camel
and bituminous coal has a fine show
ing of lead and zinc, beds Of fire clay
and an nexhaustable vein of the finest
Fullsr's Earth known IN the United
States.
THE I QUALITY OF COAL.
NJ. F.. Pugh, a Chicago coal ex'
pert, made thorough tests Of the Goa
located on the Hudson property some
time ago and the trial tests were com
pletely satisfactory. As a quick hea
producer the camel coal out-classeC

tnraclte.
The Laclede Gas Co., Of St. Louis
tried 1t in their furnaces and we're
highly pleased with the results, the
only objections raised was that it did
not coke, yet a grade of bituminous
coal on the same tract proved the
|cokeing essentials. The gas and
heating qualities Of the camel coal
were 10 dense and quick as to require
subsection by the use OF slack and re-
fuse that was otherwise useless. MIR.
Pugh assured the parties having the
tests made that the coal could not be
mined sufficiently rapid to fill tho
demands when its heating qualities
became known generally.
THE rULLER's EARTH TESTS. \
A number Of expert tests have been
made Of the Fuller's earth contained
in the beds on this property. Prof.
Hilgeman, now dead, discovered the
valuable mineral qualities contained
in the clay. Fuller's earth is in
great demand owing to its clarifying
properties, and is used in oil refn-
cries, wool factories, packing houses
and all institutions where liquids re-
quire settling and clarifying, and a
good quality Of this earth is scarce in
this country, which will cause the
beds here to become a big source of
revenue after the company get in
shape to put it on the market in bulk.
H LIN Ola BEDS.
| The flint clay in the beds on the
Hudson tract has also been tested by
experts and found to produce the
finest results for fire-backs, locomo-
tive lining, furnace lining, smelter,
and wherever FIRE brick may be
needed. This fire clay contains the
highest heat resisting properties OF
any in the United States.
When the new company get fully
under way they intend to look into
the development OF all Of these valu-
able commodities, and the extent of
their operations in this field cannot
at this time be computed. After the
mining of the coal has been SYSTEM
atized the other developments will
follow in their order.
FEATURE TO BE WATCHED.
The one feature of these Develop
ments for our people to keep an eye
on is the railway spur and switching
facilities reaching the two systems
coming into Versailles. Efforts
should be made to have this city the
main point for shipping to the makets
OF the country. Our progressive men
should see to it that new stations do
not spring up to absorb trade that
belongs to the county seat. BY gen.
erous and timely action all this can
be obviated.
NEW ERA FOR VERSAILLES.
The advent of the Missouri Camel
Coal Company in our midst brings
with it a new era for Versailles and
will place Morgan county or a higher
plane Of prosperity than was ever
even imagined.
Not only this but other capital will
at once concentrate here, as men who
are wideawake to their own interests
will be drawn to our county in an
effort to aid in the development of
our many and varied resources. The
situation in this county is now most
encouraging to our people and the
world is just beginning to find out
that we must be recognized owing to-
the value of our many resources.

LEAN MEAT FOR MOULTING HENS.

The best food for moulting hens is
lean meat, To have lens lay in winter
the early moultiug hens must be fed
on food that will assist to renew the
feathers, Fat foods are not desirable.
as no heating elements are necessary
in summer Foods rich in nitrogen and
the ~phosphatcs arc in demand by
moulting hens, and of the grain foods
bran is the best, says the Miner and
Farmer, The bran should he scalded
and to "A pint of bran should be added
half n pint Of cornmeal and n gill of
linscd meal, mixed to a stiff dough
with milk. Such n mixture with a
little lean meat occasionally and an
allowance of green food. should en-
able the g to moult quickly and
easily. and without becoming de-
bilitated at any time during the
process OF moulting. Twice a day is
sufficient to fed them, and they should
be given all that they will eat. 1t is
best to remove all hens that begin to
moult from the others, as they should
be Ned In a different manner. The
quarters should be dry, as the hens
may not have any feathers on their
bodies at certain stages OF the moult-
ing process.

When Vermont and Kentucky join hands

all the rest OF the country in horsehesh.
The raising of horses Is prosecuted in tina.
State both as II science and as an art.
Horses are bred there for the money
that can be made out Of them. but more
than that for the pure love of them. The
best type of the American road horse is
the product of Kentucky. Nearly all the
family American racers were bred in
Kentucky. No other state can compare
with Kentucky in the amount Of land and
money devoted to the maintenance OF
the horse.
Vermont produced the Morgan horse,
and mas bred many famous individual
animals whose blood. like that of Ethan
Allen" was only in part Morgan. 1t has
the advantage of excellent pastures, of
a stimulating climate. and of a race of
men WHIP. like those of Kentucky. devote
themselves to the raising and care of
horses with perfect unfiageing and life
long enthusiasm.

tablishing at tho Vermont agricultural
experiment station near Burlington a

revive the best qualities of the famous

BOYS ARE NOT YET HOME

The parents Of Raymond Harrison
and Hubert Snavely the two boys
who left the city Wednesday, in com
pany with Claud Weeks, have written
TO their parents that they are in In
dianapolis and will return home in the
course of few days, although they
say there is some likelihood OF them
going south. AS the boys have only
fifteen cents in their pockets, it is
hardly probable that they will go any
farther than Indianapolis.
Claud Weeks who started with the
boys, but who was separated from
them in Indianapolis, also wrote let
ter to his wife stating that he would
also be home soon. AS he has several
relatives in Indianapolis, he will prob
ably visit them for some time.
