WHEAT EXPORTS MAKING
 NEW HIGH RECORDS
Large Exports Domestic Wheat in 3 Months Ending Sept. Brought Totals to Highest Point Ever
 Reahced in its History.

Large exports of domestic wheat in the three months which ended wit, September 1914, brought the total fol that period up to the highest poirj ever reached in the correspondir 2 months of any year in the history c
 UT export trade. The total exports ot
 wheat, including flour in terms of wheat, in the first quarter of the cur rent fiscal year aggregated S9A mil
 lion bushels. as against 59 million in
 the corresponding period of last year and S3 million in the July September
 quarter of the fiscal year 1902, when exports of domestic wheat rose to
 their previous highest level. In the fiscal year 1902, the total was 234,772,-
 515 bushels. Figures published in the "Monthly Summary of Foreign Com merce," by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Depart ment of Commerce show that the ex- ports of wheat in the quarter which ended with September last exceeded
 those of the complete fiscal years 1910, 1911, and 1912.
 Most of this greatly increased eX- portation of domestic wheat was dis tributed to European countries, Sep tember alone showing consignments of wheat, exclusive of flour, in the following amo unts: To France, T. 572, ,0OO bushels the United Kingdom, 6,640,000; the Netherlands, 2,201 ,000; and other Europe, 5,390,000. Over g. 560000 bushels were exported last sual transaction was the shipment of 5SO, ,000 bushels of wheat from Port Arthur, Texas, to Brazil. The nota- ble feature in the outward movement of four was the marked gain in ship ments to Brazil and other countries of South America. Exports thereto in September were nearly double those of year ago, while the aggregate to foreign countries as whole showed practically no change.
 The proportion of the domestic wheat product which is exported has greatly diminished in recent years. l. 1901, lf.3G per cent of the domestic wheat crop was exported; in 1902, fol
 lowing the record-breaking crop O 748, million bushels for the calendar year immediately preceding, 31,37 pel cent; and in 1908, 25.71 per cent; while since that yea the proportion export ed has been less than 20 per cent, hav- ing fallen as low as 10.91 per cent iu the fiscal year 1911.

New Coal-Cuttinq Machine.

Revolutionary changes in coal mln- ing methods are promised upon the general introduction of coal mining machine developed by H. A. Kuhn, a Pittsburgh mining and mechanical en- gineer.
 The device, constructed of struc- tural steel, can attack the coal seam in any position, moving up or down or in any direction in which the seam leads. 1t takes out more than ninety per cent of the coal in the ground, whereas the best practice of today seldom recovers more than 70 per cent of the coal.
 It is stated that the machine has demonstrated that it can cut the cost of mining by half It is said that ten of them can produce over one thousand tons Of coal a day. Only two men arc needed to guide the mechanism of each machine, which takes the coal from the seam, cuts it, puts it on a conyeyer and leads it in q Tit car without a human hand touch ing it.
 Electricity or compressed air can be used and so little power is required that the cost thereof is less than one cent a ton for each ton of coal mined.

wAeNER,s FoNDNEss FOR PET QUEER FORMATIONS OF LAVA
"Ant Hills" of Nevada Something of a Mystery to the Man Who
 First Sees Them.

Surrounding the bases of several eX- tinct volcanoes in Clayton county. Ne vada. are a large number of singular looking, light-colored cones about l2 feet high, the size and hue of big tent. There are hundreds of thcm scattered around the foothills of the mountains, some closely grouped, others standing separate and apart, appearing from a distance like the ir- regular encampment of many regi- ments of soldiers. At close range the traveller thinks they nay have been huge ant hills such as are found in South Africa, where the hunter some times climbs to safety from the charge of an infur!ated buffalo or rhinocer- os. The general honeycombing of the cones adds to their strange appear ance and the wonder increases as to what has caused them. They are lit orally filled with holes. The eXplana- ton is, however, simple one. The country was once covered with a flow of soft lava from the volcanoes and most of 1t has been washed and eroded eway, leaving these huge ant hills, while the holes formed are due to the fact that some portions of the lava are not so hard as the rest and this softer part has been eaten away by the action of the rain and sand-laden winds

GROWING WINTER OATS
 IN SOUTHERN STATES
Every Southern Farmer Should Grow Cats Enough to Feed Work Stock. Fall-SOwn Oats Prevent the
 Washing of Soil

Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.-Every Southern farmer should grow enough oats to feed his work stock during at least portion of the year. In addi- tion to furnishing feed grain at less cost than it can be purchased, fall sown oats prevent the washing of the soil by which much fertility is ire quently lost. There is still time to SOW winter oats in the Gulf States, though this work should be done at once if good results are to be obtained According to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, oats sown in the Southern States dur ing October or the first half of Novem- Der may be expected to produce at least twice the yield of grain obtained from spring seeding.
 Winter grain may be sown on land which produced a crop of cotton, corn or cowpeas the past summer. If this land has not already been plowed, it will be better to make the surface soil fine and loose with the disk or drag harrow than to delay seeding by blow ing now. Better results are obtained from sowing with the drill than from broadcast seeding, though if a drill is not available sowing the seed broad cast on well-prepared land usually re- suits in a good stand If the proceed ing crop was well fertilized, 100 to POO pounds of acid phosphate will be all that the oats require this fall, though a little nitrate of soda will help the fall growth, especially if the soil is not already we'll supplied with nj trogen from the growing of cowpeas or some other legume. A top dressing of 50 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda applied when growth starts in the spring will greatly increase the yield
 The variety of winter oats most commonly grown in the South is Red Rustproof, Appler, Lawson, Hundred Bushel, Bancroft and Cook and seiec- tions or strains of Red Rustproof which are said to be particularly val uable in some localities. The Fulgh- um is promising new variety which natures a week or ten days earlier than the Red Rustproof, and usually produces as much or more grain. As the kernels of all these varieties are large, from 212 to 312 bushels should be sown to the acre. The smaller quantity is sufficient if the seed is drilled early on well-prepared land, while 3 bushels or more are needed when the seed is sown broadcast late in the season. The Winter Turf or Virginia Gray is very hardy variety which is valuable for pasture or hay production, but which does not yield as much grain in the Southern States as the Red Rursproof. On account of the small size of the kernels, only i F bushels of seed of this variety are re~ quired.

Man and Bear in Duel.

A fight to the death between a man and bear is reported from Taluk Jamdiha, in the district of Manbhum, India. Rajkishore Singha, a man noted for his prowess as a big game hunter, was returning home from a hunt in the jungle on the southwest ern bank of the river Damodar when he saw full-grown bear rapidly ap- preaching him. He was about to load his gun when, to his dismay, he found he had fired his last cartridge. The bear made a rush at Singha, who de- tended himself with the butt end of his gun. Singha, who succeeded in killing the bear, was afterwards found unconscious, and was conveyed to the bungalow of the civil surgeon at Puru- lia. His body was badly lacerated, but his recovery is expected

Great Musicians Devotion to HIS Dos Said to Have Been Remarkable
 In Its Intensity.

Richard Wagner's fondness for his faithful dog Peps is well known. At the time when almost all the musical world had turned against him he would sometimes, in his walks with the dog, declaim aloud against his foes. Then the dog would rush back ward and forward, barking and snap ping. as if helping his master to de- feat his enemies. When Wagner re- turned home from an excursion to some other city Peps would always receive a present as well as the other members of the family. "Peps re- ceived them joyfully," he writes to friend after one of these excursions. When the time came for the little life to be ended Wagner scarcely left the dying dogs side. He even put off two days an important jjlrney because or Pens illness and death. He writes afterward to his friend Praeger: He died in my arms on the night of the ninth, passing away without sound, quietly and peacefully. On the nor row we buried him in the garden be- side the house. l cried much, and since then I have felt bitter pain and sorrow for the dear friend of the past thirteen years"

Fighting Dust With Dust.

About the hardest problem to be found in coal mines is the danger ous dust produced by the ton every day and scattered over miles of road way and workings, the removal of which by vacuum or other means is next to impossible
 The best preventive thus far seems to be that of fighting dust with dust. Sprinkling has been tried to keep the air free from infiammable dust mix ture. Salt has been scattered over the floors to gather moisture. and prevent dust from rising The dust has been cleared from parts of the mine to form barriers, over which the flames from dust explosion is not likely to pass. Now, however. the best results seem to come from the scatter ing of stone and clay dust over the coal dust throughout the mine. This makes the coal dust nonexplosive, and sections treated with the noninflam- mable dusts form better barriers against an explosive than the old dust. less barriers.-James H. Collins in the Saturday Evening Post.
