All metals except copper, and alloys
except those containing a high per-
centage Of copper, may, it is said, be
nodded in rubber and vulcanized with
out trouble. Metals and alloys giving
trouble can be used after coating with
hot tin.
The most difficult part of the coal
dust problem Is to discover what ele-
ments must necessarily be present in
coal to make the dust dangerous
Some experiments have been carried
on with this end in view, but the re-
suits obtained have not been particu-
larry enlightening.
In consequence of the official In
quiry into the causes of the Courrieres
catastrophe, the French minister Of
public works has decided that the wind
ing shafts of mines must be provided
with breathing appliances, ready for
immediate use, and permitting their
wearers to remain at least an hour in
an irrespirable atmosphere.

gas, having a sweet, ethereal odor, the
unpleasant smell noticeable in the gas
as ordinarily prepared being due to i'm
purities. Acetylene, when ignited in an
open-air vessel, burns with a very
smoky flame, depositing clouds of SCOT.
If combined with sufficient air to rem
der the combustion complete the flame
is white and brilliant. The Illuminating
power of acetylene is estimated as
about fifteen times that of an equal
volume of coal gas.
The United States is advancing so
rapidly in the production of iron that
1t promises soon to lead all the rest of
the world combined. In 1905. the lat
est year for which complete figures
were available, the following were the
respective quantities for those coun-
tries whose annual production exceeds
100000 tons: United States 22,992,-
$50 tons; Germany, 10,9S7, 623 tons;
England, 1882, 1877 tons France, 3,O76,-
$50 tons; Russia, 2,765,OOO tons; Aus

1 ,310,290 tons. Sweden, which is cele-
brated for the quality of its iron, pro-
duced only $4,000 tons. Canada Is
making great strides, having produced
46S,0O3 tons, as against 265,41S in
1903.
Now that trade, although on a small
scale, is passing freely between CaIcut-
ia and Lhasa, the but recently mystic
rious city Of Tibet, it is reported that
The people of Tibet exhibit eagerness to
know more of the outside world. The
outside world was long curious about
them, and now the reverse occurs. But
The Tibetans will not encounter the OBJ
Stacles that we did to the qualification
Of their curiosity. A pass 14,5O0 feet
high must be traversed in reaching Tt
bet from India, but the route is open
all the year round, and the trip can be
made without much difficulty by those
who are accustomed to high attitudes.
Tibet contains borax, inter, rock salt,
Iron, silver copper, gold, turquoise and
lapis-lazuli, besides musk and furs. A
railroad over the Himalayas into Tibet
Is now suggested.

How to Keen Hay.

Haystacks should never be used If
the hay can be put under shelter. Hay
sheds, which are simply roofs on poles,
cost but little, and will save much val
liable food in year, Glover hay does
not retain its quality when closely
packed, being liable to heat, which is
also an objection to baling it The best
prices for hay are obtained only when
the hay is bright and clean, and when
exposed to the weather It Is liable to
injury unless stacks are made by ex-
perts. The best hay is that which has
received careful attention in both cur
ing and storing.

scheme of bidding for a big block 81

sell at premium as soon as the awards

them on to Washington by Registered

Growing Pumpkins.

Growing a lot of pumpkins in the
field of corn is an old practice, but it
Is doubtful If pumpkins so grown are
as profitable as when grown as a sep
arate crop from corn. The pumpkins
will prevent the proper cultivation Of
corn, as working the corn destroys the
pumpkin vines, the result being that
late weeds get chance to grow and
mature. 1t is urged in defense of
growing pumpkins in the corn field
that they do not interfere with cult
walton until the corn CIs laid by" but
much depends upon the land, rainfall
and thoroughness of cultivation Corn
should never be "laid by" as long as
weeds and grass can have an opportu-
nifty to grow, cultivation being given 1t

Plant Fodder,

Put in a good crop of fodder corn,
sown in the row, with rows 4 feet
apart, so as to cultivate 1t. Do not
cut the fodder until the ears begin to
glaze, when 1t may be put in a silo,
or cut down, cured and stored in the
barn. Such fodder should never be
stacked in the fields, as It's quality will
be injured by exposure to sun and rain.
The value Of fodder Is greatly lnfu-
Gnced by the period Of growth at which
1t is cut. If cut too soon 1t will con-
tain q large proportion Of water, and
If cut too late it will lose Its succu-
lency. Experiments indicate that the
proper time Is when the ears are In
the milky stage" and just beginning
to glaze.

Crop Rotation and ROOt-Aphis.

CrOp Rotation and ROOt-AphiS.
From the fact that In the midst OF
the corn belt, and where the root-aphis
Is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions, almost complete i'm
munity is secured where a system Of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop in the cycle of rotation, 1t Is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravages Of
this pest, says a government report.
Indeed, it is only where such a sys-
TEN of crop rotation Is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
where there Is more general rotation
Of crops, this pest does but little in
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections Of coun-
try, will not permit of crop rotation
being generally adopted, and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put into
practice. Two other methods may be
followed. One of these is practicable
throughout the corn-growing section Of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
blowing of the ground and the first
cultivation of the young corn. The 9th
er is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion of the country on account
Of the milder winters

Instructions Fer Farmers.

The agricultural = interests OF the
state are to be congratulated upon
the announcement that the West Vir-
ginia College of Agriculture at the
state university has arranged for this
winter a short course in agriculture
for the benefit of farmers The course
will cover period of four weeks,
which viii be devoted to the study
of agricultural chemistry, SELL physics
and archaeological work. A portion
OF the time will be given over to de-
nonstration along the lines OF ami
NAL husbandry, dairying, horticulture
and general farmins. Animal and veg
etable parasites viii also receive
some attention
This course offers an opportunity
for obtaining at least rudimentary
knowledge of scientific agricultural
methods which the farmers of the
state should not neglect to improve.
Nor will there be much excuse for
neglecting it. The course will be CIV
en- at season of the year when the
farmer is comparatively idle and can
leave home without Gaeglecting his
farm. The expense will be nominal,
as no charge will be made for the in
struction furnished. The only cost Will
be for board, and for incidentials.
While this is an experiment in West
Virginia, similar short courses have
for some time been held in the west,
farmers attending in large numbers
and reaping unreasonable benefit.
That it will prove equally succ asseul
here there is good reason to believe.
So much SO, that next year will find
