cial. with q SO per cent larger en-
roliment than when 1t opened. the on
ly mine work ers' school In the United
states has just completed its first years
session. 1t Is at Lost Creek, a little
village, in the anthracite region Of
Pennsylvania. The success OF the ex-
pertinent has been SO pronounced that
plans are being made to extend still
further among the workers the advan-
tages of mining education.
The school was established by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, for the
beneft of all classes of its employees,
from foremen down to door boys and
slate pickers.
There are hundreds of these en-
ployes who have the ambition, but not
the means, to acquire the training of a
mining engineer. For them course
in college is out Of the question. The
new school, with a regular Instructor
and with the aid of correspondence
course. is designed to take the place, as
far as possible, Of college training.
1t is In line with the scheme recon-
mended by the committee of foreign
experts who came to this country last
year to study conditions In the mines.
Only a week or two after the plan for
the Lehigh Valley scnool was an
nounced, the committee Issued a report
In which 1t said:
THE cause of both safety and eff
cheney would be greatly aided by
sch ools for the training Of the fire
bosses, mine foremen and inspectors. ="
The school in the anthracite region
goes further than this; 1t does not con-
fine its attention to those in authority,
but Is open to the whole force of work.
ers. The company reports that the at
tendance during the first year was re-
markably good. The mine workers
showed real Interest in the school, and

1t Is probable that the success of the
Lost Creek school win lead to the es-
tabIishment of other institutions OF the
same kind. One of the most import
ant results OF such an educational plan
will be a falling OF In the mine acct

OF accidents of that kind.

In what kind of a shell are your
farm machinery and tools? asks the
Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. Many
farmers have big machine shed with
the sky for roof. This is roomy
house, but it has the disadvantage of
being leaky when 1t rains, and water
is not the best thing for wood and
iron.
So many complain that net profits
Of farming are small. No wonder,
when they are compelled to purchase a
new binder or cultivator nearly every
summer. These machines ought to and
will last for many ears il properly
cared for.
Now is the time, If it has not al
ready been done, to get all tools and
implements carefully stored away in
a dry buildings. On rainy days or at
odd times all the wood and iron work
should be coated with oil or axle
grease to prevent rust and decay. This
will not only make them last longer,
but will keep them bright and sound
for immediate and satisfactory use
when they are taken out next spring.
Rusty wheels and bearings will not
run smooth, and the rusty plow is a
vexation when the new season opens
for rush work. A cents worth OF oil
and minutes work now will save an
hours work of securing and swearing
next spring.
Men who get rich and have money
to lend make 1t a point to prolong the
life of their farm implements by shell
tering them and keeping them well
oiled and painted. Why not you?

The silo Theory.

After series of painstaking expert
ments, for which he is noted, Profess
sor Hoecker Of the Minnesota station
affirmed that there is misapprehen-
sion among the siloists about the quail
ity and feeding value Of silage by the
presence or absence of ears on the
stalks. The general opinion is that the
silage is made more valuable by devel-
oping the grain. That is, stalk with
out an ear will not store up as many
units of feed nutrients as 1t will by
forming an ear. This total, of course,
includes the ear. Thus the effort is
made everywhere to introduce a large
growing corn and induce caring. The
professor has found that the stalk that
has never shown an ear-if left until
mature-is the same as another similar
stalk supporting the ear. This is not
an argument to go back to some varle-
ty Of corn; 1t is only this: the ear is
not essential If full development and
maturity of the plant are secured be-
fore solilng. The fact was also found
that the expense" Of digestion was
much less to the animal where the
food solids were in the structure of the
plant than when in the grain, though
the latter was assisted" by the condi-
tion of the succulence as contrasted
with grain dried. The discovery opens
up new lines of culture. Shall we plant
thicker to get more fodder; cultivate a
little deeper to arrest too rapid growth
and assist in promoting earlier and per-
feet maturity, which includes, of course,
the maximum amount of nutrition?

Lon.-Distance Farming.

A city man wants to run big farm

office. He asks persistently: why

the question is evidence that our friend
does not understand farming and could
not direct the work to best advantage
even if long-distance farming were a
feasible thing. The practical farmer
knows the difficulties. He knows his

A dog should not be fed on meat
alone under any consideration. Be-
sides making him nuisance 1t makes
him naturally carnivorous and often
savage. If he is always fed at the
conclusion of certain meal-dinner,
for instance--he will wait patiently
until the prescribed time. 1t is a
good plan to feed after ones midday
meal giving plenty Of green vegeta-
bles, bread and potatoes, with very
few scraps of finely cut meat, the
whole well mixed and some gravy
poured over it. If two meals are Civ
en-, one should be at breakfast time
and one In the evening. One should
consist of only little oatmeal and
milk or a piece of dry dog biscuit. At
no time should the dog have more
than he will eat, and If he leaves any
thing his allowance should be reduced
or a meal omitted.-Journal of Agri.

oxererowding Chickens.

The great loss each year from over
crowding runs up into thousands of
dollars. This can easily be remedied
by spending few cents each for
number of piano boxes. Two gunny
sack partitions may be put In these
boxes, and each one will accommodate
several hundred small chickens. Fifty
small chicks is the largest number
that can safely be housed together.
Most overcrowding is found in brood
ers, and the most common mistake
made is not to consider the rapidity
with which chick develops and hence
the necessity of more spacious quar-
ters. The secret is to separate the
chicks into small lots and never to let
them pile up. Overcrowding results In
lack OF exercise, food and drink,
which means bowel trouble and other
diseases. Lack of pure air weakens
their system; it is betetr to Gull out
half of your flock and raise the re-
mainder in health and vigor than to
overcrowd them and suffer the loss
of your whole flock Keep the quar-
ters clean to rid them of mites and
lice which sap the life out of them
In a short time.
Never allow the young stock to be
confined In houses and yards that are
occupied by old birds, as they tramp
and run over them, and thus stunt
their growth. Stunted chickens are
like stunted pigs-no good at all; they
may pull through to maturity. but
they can't develop into healthy birds.

Commercial value of cornstalks.

Commercial Value of Cornstallks.
After numerous experiments the
chemists Of the Bureaus of Forestry
and Plant Industry assert that paper
can be made from cornstalks by very
nearly the same process employed in
making 1t from wood pulp. Moreover,
they are confident that when machin-
cry has been perfected the cost of max
ing paper from cornstalks (at present
such paper costs about dollar a ton
more to make than wood pulp paper)
will be a little over half what 1t Is
now.
Two grades Of cornstalk paper have
been made. white paper made from
the outside shell of the cornstaik, and a
yellow from the pith. 1t has taken
fifty years TO develop the present meth
ods OF making paper from wood pulp.
DE-. II. s. Bristol. the head Of the bu-
reau, believes that when proper ma
chinery is built and the farmers real
ize that good revenue may be derived
from the sale of cornstaiSs, paper will
be manufactured from the new una

to keep their feet will hope that the
invention Is financial success. The
horseshoe has series of parallel ridges
on its heel and toe portions. The ridges
on the toe portion run parallel to the
longitudinal axis Of the shoe and those
on the heel portion run transversely.
These ridges form series Of recesses
adapted to receive and retain snow or
dirt, thus forming bearing surface
for the shoe and making the horse
surer of his footing. Running In oppo-
site directions, as they do, the corruga-
tions act as a sort of brake in which
ever way the animals feet may happen
to slip, and the whole effect is to pre-
vent snow or dirt "caking" on the fat
