New Process Expected to Greatly In.

In Ohio.

Steubenville O.-The new process Of
mining coal by scraping the surface
with giant steam shovels in the bitum.
inous fields of Ohio is expected to
greatly increase the output Of the state
and alleviate the high prices. The
stripping process" being tried out
here on larger scale will stimulate
activity in other fields of the state

predicted.
Giant steam shovels are gushing the
hills of Harrison and Jefferson coun.
ties, tearing away the dirt covering
veins of coal placed by nature too near
the surface to permit underground
mining. Thousands of acres have
been tested and purchased, or leased,
by the new operating companies.
The conl veins are from four to six
feet in thickness and from ten to fifty
feet under the surface. Specially con.
structed shovels are rapidly uncover.
ing the veins. In the stripping process
all the coal in the veins is taken out,
while in mines pillars Of coal are left
for supports.
However, the stripping process lays
waste to many acres Of good land,
which has been under cultivation.
When the shippers are through with

many deep holes.

His Job.

Albany, N. Y.-Lack of patriotism,
or rather an attempt to capitalize it,

his days work in connection with the

FOOD AND DRINK ESSENTIALS
Divided Into Five Important Glasses
Grain Feed and Water Are
Most important.

The essential food and drink for
poultry may be divided into five
classes, as follows: First, grain food;
second, vegetable food; third, meat
food; fourth, minerals in the form Of
grit and shell; fifth, plenty Of clean
water to drink.
It may be useful to keep this divi-
sion in mind. 1t may be we'll also to
ask oneself whether he is giving his
dock all Of the five classes Of food and
drink. All Of the five are of first I'M
portance. A flock can get along after
fashion without one or two. of the
ave named, but not to very good adj
vantage. The best, most economical
results will be secured by the use Of
all of the five classes. The first and
18th are the most important, doubt
less.
