Pittsburg, October 1S.-(SpeeiaD-To
dig coal from a seam running about
10 times as thick as any in the Pitts
burg district would be a novelty for
coal miners in the local fields. Outside
of Alaska, 1t was not generally known
that any such vein of coal existed in the

just such vein and the announcement
from the United States Coal company
that it is now operating in such a vein
in Wyoming comes as the fresh evil

project being under way.
The United States Coal company was

PIGS AT MARKET MATURITY
Time May Be Determined Very Large
Iy by the Character of Feed and
Manner of Feeding.

From market standpoint a ma
ture hog is one that has either tenn
porarily or permanently ceased grow
ing and taken on the form and finish
required by the meat trade. The time
at which pig comes to maturity may
be determined very largely by the
character of the feed and the manner
of feeding.
Pigs may be brought to market ma
turity anywhere between the ages of
to 9 months. Early maturity is
brought about by feeding an excess
of non-nitrogenous foods or by sudden
changes from heterogeneous to non-ni-
trogenous foods. BY feeding an excess
of such a fat-forming food as corn
meal, the pig does not have suffi-
cient amount of protein nutrients to
continue it's growth, and SO begins to
lay on fat.
:. 1t is a very easy matter, however,
to carry early maturity to extremes
because under the conditions neces-
sary a pig will not grow as large or
as rapidly, and so his gains will be
more expensive. The thing to strive
for in pork production is to bring the
pig to maturity at the time he is to
be marketed and not before

STOCK
TRAINING COLT FOR A FAIR
One Of First Important Things Is to
Teach Young Animal to Behave
Himself and Be Outlet.

By PROF. f. L. POTTER, Animal Hus-
bandry, Oregon Agricultural College)
In showing horses at county and
state fairs and horse shows, especially
in showing colts, it is important that
the animals be trained for the occa-
sion or they are unlikely to show
their work
One of the first things is to teach
the colt to behave himself and be
quiet, so that he will not get excited,
tear around, and "act up" like a
naughty child before company, when
led into crowd.
The next step is to teach the colt
to continue still when it is required.
Then it must be taught to stand In
the proper position, with his feet
sQuarely under him, his front feet side
by side, and his hind feet also side by
side, his head up and ears forward.
This will not only require training;
it will mean that the owner or atten-

dant will need TO be constantly on
the lookout to see that the animal
maintains his position. One frequent

good horses, and standing with their
hands in their pockets while allow
ing the horses to stand down on one
side with their heads at one side, in
good horses. Neither the owner nor
the horse in such case shows at his
best
The horse led into the show ring
should always have good bride, and
never should be brought in with just
a halter. as it is impossible to handle
horse properly without bride.
The colt should be taught to lead
properly to show his action to good
advantage. He should learn to walk
or trot up by the side of the attendant
and pull forward on the lead rein, not
backward The attendant should
hold the horse with but one foot of
rein between his hand and the bit.
In trotting the colt to the bride it
should be taught to step up in good
shape, and pull forward on the rein
instead of backward. In teaching the
colt to trot for show, the attendant
must run beside the horses shoulder,
always keeping step with the horse
An attendant who stumbles along in
his own gait cannot be expected to
make the horse travel at his best.
Attention to these points will make
a world of difference in the appear
ance of the horse in the'ring. 1t will
make poor horse look better, and
prevent good horse from appearing
badly.
