Free Seed Corn.

Why not quit raising scrub"
corn? Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply you
for the future? There is as much
difference between scrub" corn and
pure bred corn as there is between
a scrub" steer and pure bred
steer. Pure bred corn will produce
a much larger yield per acre than
ordinary seed. Until further notice
the Farmer and Breeder, published
mt Columbia, Mo, will give away
free a quart of pure bred corn with
every new subscription. A quart will
plant a quarter of an acre and give
you all the pure seed you need for
future use. The Farmer and Breed
er is big monthly and costs only
SOC per year. 1t is published in the
home of Missouri's great Agricul-
tural College and every issue is full
of articles by Agricultural experts
on the raising Of all kinds of Farm
Crops, the Care and Feeding of Live
Stock, Dairying, Fruit Growing,
Fertilizing the Soil, Poultry Raising
and every other farm subject. Any
single issue is worth the price.
Every ounce of this seed corn will
be tested by seed experts before it
is sent out. You can have either a
yellow or white variety. This adj
vertisement is appearing in hun
dreds of newspapers and our sup
ply of seed will soon be exhausted.
So send or leave your subscription
at once at the office of the Monroe
City Democrat. which will forward
it to us. If

Where the Coal Goes.

Who uses most of the coal? First
and foremost of any single indus
try, the railroads consume from co.
100000 to 100000 tons a year,
these and steamships probably use
nearly 80 per cent of the country's
output, which is as much or more
than is used for all domestic and
heating purposes. This leaves ap-
proximately one-half of the total
production principally bituminOus
to be accounted for the industries
of the country.
Coal and manufacturing are
terms which are in general prac-
tice closely related. but they are
constantly changing their adjust
ments. which affect and are in turn
affected by transportation. For in
stance, New York is the greatest
manufacturing State, yet she pos
sesseS no coal mines. On the other
hand, West Virginia is the third
largest coal producer, but she has
comparatively no manufactures
The time will doubtless come when
West Virginia, with her vast coal
resources, will stop shipping away
all of her fuel, largely to New York
and New England, and become a
great manufacturing State. 1t is
only necessary to consult the stats.
tics of manufacturing of any region
to arrive at a close approximation
of its relative coal consumption
Some figures prepared from the
1905 anthracite coal output prac.
tically all from Pennsylvania
mines,-will convey an idea Of
where the country's hard coal rend,
ers its final accounting. In that
year New York, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania consumed in round
