Belqian Coal Miners.

While coal is mined at a greater
depth in Belgium than in most coun-
tries, the number Of miners killed in
accidents is less in that country than
in any other. For the ten-year period
from 1891 to 1900 the number of ia
talities per 10000 workmen was 1854
per annum. In the metallic-ore mines
the number of workmen who have
been killed by accident IS one-thrid
that in the coal mines.

TO GROW EARLY POTATOES.

A rich. deep, sandy loan is best for
potatoes, but fresh. strong n
should not be used, as conditions are
made which are very favorable to the
propagation of scab. Better use com
mercial fertilizers than to risk using
fresh stable manure. With well-rOt-
ted stable anu care should be
taken to Incorporate thoroughly with
the soil. With all potatoes, whether
planted early or late, Il deeply stirred
soil is best, and in addition to being
deeply stirred the soil should b.
worked until! fine.
When it is desired to grow extra
early potatoes, select one of the ex-
ira early varieties and the
soil by ploWing deep and thorough.
The soil should be we'll drained and
the burrows marked deeply. This is
most essential. Drop a forkful OF
n where each hill is to be
planted. This n should come
from the horse stable. Over the ma

or FIVE inches of soil and nress tire

and IN securing a quick termination.
AS soon as the plants show we'll above
the ground thin out to not more than
three good stalks in one hill. Guilt

Under such conditions a very rapid

than by almost any other method

KEEP COWS IN OPEN SHEDS.
This Saves the Farmer a Great Deal
of I.abOr-Fows More Healthy
and Vigorous.
By PROF. w. J. FRASER.

Cows that are allowed to run into
open sheds with managers so better
than when kept in stables. During
an experiment twenty-five were cared
for III this way in q shed 80 DE ,h>
feet. having Oh each side
and bull pens in two n and the
results were considered most satis-
factory.
The COWS keep much cleaner tnan
when stabbed and the milking staple
is in a more sanitary condition, conse-
o,1enfly it is easier to produce clean
milk. BY this method there is. less
difficulty in providing COWS with an
abundance Of fresh air, and they are
more vigorous and healthy and have
better appetites than when kept IN
stable.
Labor is saved. as the shed can De
bedded much more easily and quickly
| than stalls. There is little, stable
cleaning TO he done, and the manure
is hauled directly from the shed TO
the held at. any time most convenient
and when Least damage is done the
land by
Another advantage is the saving OF
| fertility much more completely. Many
barns do not have cement floor. and
| SO there is more or less waste OF the
liauid portion Of h manure. Since
land is becoming 50 high-priced no
farmer can afford to allow any fertll-
ity to be wasted. and by this method
all the liquid is saved, as it is absorbed
by the bedding.
If only enough bedding is used to
keep the COWS clean they tramp the
manure so thoroughly that it does not
heat to make the air impure. II ma
nure is hauled directly from the stable
to the field there is q considerable
portion Of the year when it must be
allowed to accumulate in the yard,
where it will leach badly. or it must
be hauled on to the land when it is so
vet and soft that much injury is done
by tramping. This is especially true
on clay soil.
On many dairy farms the question
Of getting sufficient help is becoming
such q problem as to Interfere scri-
ously with this branch Of agriculture.
AS it seems to be the opinion of the
majority OF people who have practiced
this method that it saves labor, this
is one of the strong points in its
aNor.
The information at hand is not suf-
ficient from which to draw definite
conclusions for all sections Of the

Money iii Ostrich Farms.

One of the oldest and largest ostrich
farms in America is not far from
Los Angeles. 1t is. the Cawston farm
and was established more than twenty
years ago.
There are hundreds of ostriches on
this farm. The principal work on an
ostrich farm is. the Matching, care Of
the young ostriches and the shear
ing of the old grow birds-that is
plucking their long, silky, beautiful
plumes.
This is done at certain intervals
whenever these long feathers mature.
Where there are hundreds of these
birds to care for and the plumage to
pluck. it keeps the force on the farm
pretty busy the year round
AS these plumes are always in de-
mand all over the world and bring a
good price, the profits OF ostrich
farming are large. The industry has
proved a very profitable one.
The southern part of the Pacific
coast is admirably adapted to ostrich
rearing. The climate is warm and
dry n these big, awkward. clumsy
creatures grow and thrive as well as
on h deserts Of South Africa.
