The mining of coal is not a new in

last few years that it has been carried
On scientifically.
The old idea in opening a mine was
to realize on the Investment without
waiting for proper development and
without regard for the future welfare
of the mine. Such matters as ventil-
lation. drainage and halllage have had
the study Of the coal mining people
for many years and III recent years the
matter OF proper explosives and the
scientific shooting of coal as a part of
proper preparation has received quite
a lot of attention.
The question of proper and scien-
tihc recovery of pillar coal has been
given more study and has made more
rapid strides toward perfection than.

ing. The old plan was to drive rooms

The pump as q means Of raising water is one Of the Oldest
machines known to.man. Long before the Christian era, when
man emerged from the age Of hunter othat Of shepherd, he found
1t necessary to provide means Of raising water for his hocks and
herds IN places where no pure water was obtainable.
Following the age Of the shepherd to that of the farmer the
demand for an apparatus was even greater; in place Of wander
ing he now cared for a tract to supply his focks. herds and fam
ly, and if there was not a sufficient supply, he had to lift the water
Tor irrigation from lower streams SO that there could be an in
crease.
Following this came that of the townsman, where for protec-

higher source by gravity to springs, hand pump from well or nat

SHEEP PROPHETS.

Recently p journal devoted to sheep
declared that farmers could not sue
coed with them unless they made a
specially of the business. Another
journal has also assured us that farm
1ocks will not prosper, that we may
look only to specialists for any in
crease in the number Of sheep. Now
the Secretary of the National
Growers Association tells us that
range focks are on the decline n
why they will continue to go down.
If farm focks can't increase except IN
the hands OF specialists and if range
hocks are bound to decrease our
sheep industry is in a terrible fix.
About the only hope of the mutton
eater and the wool wearer is to stock
CITY parks and the lawns and farm OF
other public institutions. But some
thing is said in the Scripture which
suggests to us that prophecies may
fail. And we suspect that in spite or
the forecasts of sundry newspaper
prophets farmers will raise a few more
sheep if the prices continue good.
For some reason farmers pay a good
deal more attention to profits than
they do to prOphets-at least to those
of the present age. AS to range focks
no doubt Mr.. Mcclure knows a great
deal more about them than we do. If
correct his statement should en-
courage the growth of farm focks,
which will have less competition from
the ranges in the future than they
have had in the past. But perhaps he
does not intend that his words shall be
applied to all range territory Or to all
range iocks:-National Stockman and

MOUNTAIN METAL.

The French Broad Hustler, publish
ed at Hendersonvf1le, carries a picture
of Judge H. G.. Ewart, along with a
letter he wrote Governor Craig, pledg-
ing himself to raise a full war strength
company of volunteers in Henderson
and adjoining counties within 80 days
after the call is made. Judge Ewart
is we'll advanced in years, but he is
not too old to fight. There are some
politicians in this State Upon whom
the force of that observation will fall
rather heftily. He at one time served
North Carolina in Congress n If
there now would have his resignation
papers in hand, ready to cut out for
Mexico. Judge Ewart is a sample of
the mountain manhood of this State.
There is no question in the world that
he would be able to fulfill his promise
to organize a company from among
his people within 80 days. He would
probably be able to do it in less time
than that and every man from the
head to the foot of the line would be
a fghter.-Charlotte Observer.

Convenient Feed Trough.

house is not ceiled the boxes may be
put on the outside of the house with
troughs running through. The tops of
the boxes should slant so the rain will
run off. These, of course, will have to
be filled from the outside. With this
plan the feed drops down as fast as
the hens remove it from the troughs.
Feeding troughs and boards can be
kept much cleaner when they can
have the benefit of the fresh air and
sunshine.
When badly soiled, they should be
scrubbed and scalded. Water vessels
should also be treated in the same
manner.
We use carbolic acid as a disinfec-
tant. However, it cannot be recon-
mended for general use, because it is
very dangerous.

HENHOUSE NEED
Clean Trough, Attached to Wall,
for Dry Feeding.
Plan Will Be Liked by PouItryman
Who Feeds Grain and Favors Idea
of Keeping Hopper Before
Fowls at All Times.

One of the greatest needs in a poul-
try house is a dry, clean trough for
feeding shell, grit, bran or a dry ra-
ton. Here is the description Of an
easily made and simple trough for this
purpose. i.
The man who has a ceiled house
can try my method and I'll guarantee
he will like it, says a Michigan cor
respondent of the American Agricul-
turist. Cut through the ceiling board
between the studding and take out
the board. Put two small hinges on
it, replace and fix a button to hold
it in place. Next cut a slit about two
inches wide and nearly to the stud
ding on both sides, about a foot above
the floor. Insert a trough running
back and slanting to the outside clap
boards. Allow the front edge of the
trough to come a little above the open
ing in the wall so the feed will not
overrun. With a coal scuttle the
trough may be easily filed, and the
hens cannot waste or get On top of
the trough and foul it.

best to keep a hopper before the fowls

it takes up no room whatever. If ones

SOUTHERN RAILWAY SELLING
TICKETS TO CHIMNEY ROCK.

The Following is taken from the 1916
edition of Summer Resorts issued
by the Southern Railway company:
"The Southern Railway takes pleas
ure in announcing that the season Of
1915 inaugurates a through ticketing
system to Chimney Rock and Bat
Gave, North Carolina.
"For many years this remarkable
section of the country has been mac
cessib1e because Of bad roads. Owing
to the good roads movement in West
ern North Carolina, this veritable
wonderland of Chimney Rock and
HICKORY Nut Gap has become easily
accessible to summe visitors. The
Southern railway has this year put on
q through ticketing arrangement to
the places mentioned; such tickets
reading via AshevilIe, Hendersonyille
or Rutherfordton respectively; the
last coupon being taken up by respOn-
sible automobile carrying concerns.
II is thus possible to purchase through
round trip summer excursion tickets
and check baggage direct to Chimney
Rock and Bat Cave.
among the points of superb inter
est in this section may be enumerated
the following: Chimney Rock, "The
Appian Way The Hickory Nut Falls.
Silver Falls, Rainbow Falls, the Rocky
Broad river, the Bottomless Pools,
Bat Cave and many Of the highest
precipices to be found in Eastern
North Carolina.
"Of unique interest for the present
is the recent construction Of a
scenic highway direct from the valley
(Hickory Nut Cap to the base of
Chimney Rock. Ample parking space
for so cars. This wonderful road, to-
gether with its celebrated objective
point, promise to become n of the
greatest attractions in the mountains
