COAL OUTPUT DOUBLES.
Every 10 Years Production Equals Total
of All Coal Previously Mined

An interesting if not startling fact in
connection with the production of coal
in the United States, according to the
United States geological survey, is that
in each successive decade the output is
practically doubled. If the production
OF bituminous coal alone were eonsid-
cred, the record for the last 80 years
would show an increase somewhat in ex-
cess Of the ratio. The increase in the
production of anthracite has been much
less rapid on account of the limited area
OF the fields, the conditions under which
the industry is carried on, and the re-
striction OF the prepared sizes to do
mestic consumption. 1t has been es-
timated that the output of anthracite
will reach l00000,000 long tons annually
before it begins to decline. The maxi
mum production mp to the present time
has been S0.77l ,4sS long tons. An in
crease in the annual production Of
bituminous coal may be anticipated for
Some time to come.
The statistics of coal production in
the past show that up to the close If
1865 the total output had amounted to
2S4 ,sg0055 short tons In the decade
from 1866 to 1875, inclusive. tie pro-
duction amounted to 4l9.425 l0f tons,
making the totRi production up o the
close Of 1875, 7o43l5.l5o IONS. In tie
following decade, from 1876 20 1885, in
elusive the output amounted TO S47.-
760.3l9 tons, somewhat more than
double the total production durinf the
preceding decade At the close of
1885 the total production amounted
to l,552 075,47S tons, ami the produc
ton during the 10 years ended in lS95
was l.5s8.0as 64l tons. the total pro-
luction at the close of 1895 an'onnting
to 3l3S, I74ll9 short tons. In the dec
ade ended December 81. l905, the total
total production amounted to 1882 ,412,-
746 short tons. and the grand total from
he beginning of recorded coal mining in
The United States amounted To $500, /.
J76 S65 short tons. The average an
lual production from 1896 to 1905 was (
$50. 240. 275 short tons; the average pro- /
luction from 1906 to 1911, inclusive was
I6l 400 .2G0 short tons, showing an in (

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Wintering Breeding Ewes.

Ewes should be In good flesh condi-
ton before they are put into winter
quarters. Weak, emaclated ewes can
not bring vigorous, well developed
lambs In the spring II Is clearly TO
our interest to have the eve flock In
good condition during the winter, so
thnt they may bring good, robust
lambs and supply them with plenty of
nourishment.
Overcrowding the eve flock during
the winter months is "A direct cause of
many losses. II not only causes the
ewes to become sluggish and dull, but
frequently II raises the temperature of
the barn and causes the ewes TO per-
spire and when they are turned out
in the yards they take cold and deyel-
OPP catarrh.
If possible they should be kept in
fiocks of from twenty TO forty ewes In
lot In this way there Will be less
danger of injury from overcrowding
and they will exercise freely. Breeding
ewes should have exercise. and every
day when the weather is fine they
should be allowed to roam over the
yards and pasture. Out OF door exer-
else and plenty of sunshine will insure
n crop of thrifty and well developed
lambs the next spring.

FEEDING Value of SUGAR eeets.

Sugar beets are slightly richer than
mangels and turnips, and they seem to
be fully as valuable In regard to sue
cuence and digestibility. Sugar beets
are worth more than grain when fed
with good hay except when finishing
for the market During the last stages
of feeding sugar beets are valuable
when fed In combination with other
things. Probably In no case should
sugar beets constitute more than 40
per cent of the ration. Generally
speaking, sugar beets should be COM
bined with heterogeneous food, such as
wheat, bran, peas, beans, oilmeal, glu-
ten meal, etc.

Dairyman's Responsibility for Poisonou,
Milk.

A dairyman in Atlanta, Ca, was fined
! $50 recently for violating the milk ordi-
nance of that city. The dairyman, who
ran a clean dairy had permitted one of
! his drivers to purchase milk from an
other dealer in violation of the ordinance
which requires milk-dealers to inform
the health board of the source of all
milk sold. The milk of the second deal
er was not wholesome. An interesting
angle was impaired to the case which
may serve as a warning 10 milk dealers
who wish TO avoid the expense of dam
age suits. One of the chief WITNESSES
against the dairvman testified that his
two-year-old daughter had become seri-
ously III from ptomaine poisoning caused
by poisonous milk purchased from the
dairyman on trial. and his testimony
was corroborated by two physicians The
witness declared that if his daughter
died the dairyman would be held respon-
sible The dairyman admitted that il
was the practice of his drivers to pur-
chase milk from other milk dealers whe,,
their supply ran short With this direct
testimony that the illness was due to i'm
properly inspected milk. il would seem
that the dairyman might be held respon.
sible in damages. though Just what posi-
ton court or jury might take on the
question j.. Of course. problematical.
The Journal OF the American Medical
Association SAYS that the case suggests
another forceful reason why the dairy
man should comply not only with the
ordinances - laid down. but with the
measures which science and experience.

Corn Slower as an Absorbent.

One of the best and cheapest abb
sorbents of urine Is cut corn stover.
There is probably no substance raised
on the farm that Will take up as much
urine MS the pithy portion of the corn
stalk. Next TO corn slower, straw of
the various kinds follows. 1t may be
said that most any substance that
makes a good bedding will absorb con-
siderable liquid manure, and many
dairymen are using planer shavings.
for they do not raise enough of corn
stover or straw to meet the demands
for bedding Hoard's Dairyman.

DROPPING BOARDS
IN THE HEN HOUSE
Keep the Floor Clean ana In
crease Feeding Space.

Where the hens are fed inside the
house. as usual in winter In many
places, ii is advantageous to catch the
manure thus keeping the floor clean,
so that ii as well as the rest of the
house can be utilized as feeding floor.
When no dropping boards are used
n wide board should be placed In front
of the percheS on the floor so as to keep
the litter away from droppings under
the roost. The use of the dropping
boards is economical. for ii increases
the size of the feeding floor. These
boards, being close TO the fowls. neces-
state frequent cleaning, hence more
labor, but If the manure is properly
handled enough fertilizer Is saved TO
pay for the extra labor. and frequent
cleaning means healthy fowls
A hinged roost and dropping board Is
4 very good arrangement. for the drop
pings are cleaned each morning, and
then the perches and dropping board
swing up and out of the way. thus Civ
ing the hens clear open space This
method is used in the long poultry
house at the University of Wisconsin
Before this system was tried there was
n great deal of trouble with hens lay
ing under the dropping board instead
of in the nests. After installing this
system the trouble was greatly les

about children and candy.
Children seem to crave sweets. but |
am not one of those who believe that
this craving is normal and should be
catered to. More indigestion and i'll
health is caused among children by eat
