GOAL LANDS WITHDRAWN.
TAFT SETS ASIDE SEVERAL MIL.
LION OF ACRES.
Latest Order Practically Completes
Presidents Work in Interest of
COnservation-Bring Total to H.
518,5SS.

Beverly. Mass, July 14.-Presi-
dent Taft withdrew more millions of
acres of coal lands in different States
of the West, bringing the total of
coal lands Withdrawn made by him
up to the enormous total of 71,51S,-
5SS acres. Something like half of
this amount is new Withdrawals.
The work is now complete and is
eptomized in the following letter
from Secretary of the Interior Ballin-
ger
my Dear Mr.. President:
"The orders for the withdrawal of
coal lands which are transmitted
herewith will complete the series
which have been prepared in accord
ance with your instructions. These
orders confirm and continue all exist
ing coal lands Withdrawals and add
materially thereto. The areas cover
ed are as follows:
Arizona, 161, ,280; Colorado $751;
161; Montana, 20,20S,S65; New Mex
leo. 2,S44,27S; North Dakota, 17,s2s,-

2.670.2S7; Utah, 5,S14,2S7; Washing
ton. 2,2o7;967; Wyoming, 13,0ss,71S
acres.
THE total Of commercial lands now
withdrawn in the United States is
therefore, 71,51S,5SS acres.
'All the land, however, is open 20
agricultural entry, with a limited sur
face patent. under the terms Of the
order Of withdrawal and in accord
ance with the recent enactment pro-
viding for agricultural surface entries
on withdrawn or classified coal lands.
ALREADY 1O,21O.OS2 acres of coal
lands. in part included in the earlier
Withdrawals, have been classified and
appraised by the geological survey
prior to July 1, 1910. and restored ii
appropriate entry.
THE total appraised valuation of
these coal lands is s449,876,2OS as
compared with s17O,O63,76S, which
would be the minimum price that
formerly obtained in the disposal of
government coal lands.
"The order for withdrawal for
Alaska. approved by you on July 2
is of necessity in general terms on ac-
count of the lack Of land surveys. In
the explored portion of Alaksa, which
comprises about 20 per cent Of the
district, the supposed areas Of coal
fields aggregate approximately $4,000
square miles. In these coal fields the
areas believed to be underlaid by
workable beds Of coal are about L.
zoo square miles in more than three
fourths of which area only the lower
grade Goals occur. Thus. the known
coal lands of Alaska which are be-
lieved to be affected by your order Of
withdrawal aggregate some 10000
acres.
Very respectfully,

FOR MATCHING TURKEY EGGS
Have Nest on Ground Made of Clean
Straw-Hen Should be Tested
and Also Free of Vermin.

The principal points I observe IN
Matching turkey eggs under hens are
to have the nest on the ground and
made of clean straw. If desired, the
nest may be inclosed in box or coop,
but it is necessary to allow ample
room for the hen to get on and off,
says writer in Agriculturist. It Is
also advisable to test the hen before
allowing her to set, so as to know she
is not fussy and is bent on business.
1 generally do this by giving her
china eggs to commence on for a day
or two, and if she sits quietly, then to
give the turkey eggs. 1t is particular
ly desirable that she be free from lice
at the start. always sprinkle plenty
of lice powder on her and have lots
of it in the nest.
The poults do not require any feed
for at least "a hours after being
Matched. The first meal give is dried
wheat bread, soaked in sweet milk,
oatmeal and chopped onion tops mix
ed together, but not fed wet. At all
times l supply plenty of clean water
and fine grit, and as the poults grow
older I give grain, such as millet,
hemp, wheat, cracked corn and oats,
depending upon the size of the young
ones. Corn is fed sparingly while
the young ones are growing. Four
times day Is enough to feed at first.
1t is especially important that the
birds be kept dry until thew have
feathered well. Mine are kept in un-
til after the dew is off and never al
lowed to be. out in the rains. About
o'clock I call them to their roosting
coops and give them good feed SO as
to encourage their coming home Aft
er a while they learn to come up
without being driven. When six or
eight weeks old, they can usually take
care of themselves.

POTATOES INTO A DRY MEAL
Process Successfully Accomplished by
Prussian Process Saves Decay
and Cost of Freight.

The conversion of potatoes into a
dry, concentrated meal, successfully
accomplished by a Prussian process
described by Consul T. H. Norton, not
only prevents loss from decay, but re-
duces the cost of transportation. In
Germany potatoes are much used for
feeding domestic animals, and the
loss from decay amounts to about IL
per cent, equivalent to a value Of
2S,500,000 annually. The new pro-
cess Is claimed to be simpler and more
effective than numerous earlier ones
brought out by an offer of $4,000 in
prizes. The potatoes are washed in
large vat, passed into MASKING
machine, pumped into reservoir, and
then fed between two hollow cylinder
Of perforated plate covered with linen
filtering cloth, the interior Of each
cylinder being connected with an air
exhaust. The pressure of the cylin-
der and the air suction remove most
of the water. The residual mass is
taken by helical conveyor to small
cars, which pass through hydraulic
press, removing more liquid, and is
then transferred to a revolving drum,
heated at one end by steam pipes and
cooled at the other by water. Stirred
by prongs in the drum, the dried po-
tato energies as coarse meal. This
has quarter of the original weight
of the tubers and occupies an eighth
IF hn nd 70 CD To
fresh bread, and analysis shows it to
contain 5000 per cent Of carbohy-
drates, 11.50 of water, 3.73 of protein,
206 of ash, LII of fiber, and OBJ Of
fat. If desired, the meal can be COM
pressed into compact cakes. The
residual liquid contains sugar and
dissolved salts, and, first yielding
about per cent Of albumen, Is used
for irrigating farming land.
