Before very long this is bound TO
become an accomplished fact, and
we shall look back with astonish-
ment at our foolishness in carving
mountains OF coal over millions OF
miles when we might have got tho
energy out Of II just as well. and in
the most easily utilizablc form, by
burning it AT the point Of production.
The Juice" coming direct from tho
coal mine to city will be delivered
at sub'stations, each taking certain
amount of current Off the wire and
supplying a given area with inst
what it needs for lighting, running
machinery and other purposes.
1t will be very cheap electricity
for one reason. because enormous
quantities Of refuse coal can be used
for It's production. A large part of
the output OF n coal mine is waste
mostly coaldust. which is thrown
aside because there is no market
demand for It. 1t is perfectly good
coal, with az high fuel value "a

wants It.

contemplated. they suddenly assume

engineers nave been considering tho
possibility of using this waste for

Coal with plenty OF air gives off car
1t gives off what is called Dow
sons gas. which is used for gas en-
gnes. If steam were blown in it
would give a. mixture Of hydrogen
and carbonic oxide, or water gas,
which also is frequently used for gas
engines.
Bring your gas engines to the
mouth Of your pit or bore hole and
produce your power there. You
would thus have 80 per cent OF the
energy Of tho coal available, as
against IS per cent available in fuel
engines. That energy might be
transformed into electricity at the
mouth of the bore hole, and you
could distribute it through the coun.
try-wherever you liked. There Is
nothing new in this. Electricity has
been carried 200 miles in California.
J myself have seen It carried eighty
miles in Mysore in Indiana. In this
way you would get electricity avail

CARE OF THE SHEEP
Smaller Amount Of Grain Needed Than
for Other Live stock-AIl Depends
on Hay Used.

Sheep can be wintered with a small
er use of grain than is needed for 9TH
,er live stock. All depends upon the
Kind Of hay or other roughage used.
COarse-stemmed hays like timothy, red
top and bluegrass have very few
leaves and therefore are poor sheep
feeds. Timothy is unpalatable, causes
constipation, and the dry timothy
heads work into the wool. causing ir-
irritation to the skin, 1essening the value
lof the clip and making shearing diff
cult. When timothy or other coarse
lstemmed hay Is fed to sheep in winter
quarters, supplementary protein feed
Ii needed. From one-quarter to one
half pound Of linseed meal per eve
daily should be used, depending upon
the size and condition of the animal
and the other feed used.

One of the good signs Of the times,
In view of the fact that wartime condi-
tons demand an increase In the pro-
duction Of meat on both farm and
range, is the fact that there was large
increase In the number Of hogs shipped
to farms and ranches for breeding and
feeding last fall, instead of being sold
as unfinished stock for slaughter. This
movement of ''stockers and feeders"
from the large markets Of the country
was four times as heavy during Octo-
Der. 1917, as during the same month
the previous year, and for September
and October combined the movement
was three times heavier in 1917 than in
1916. These hogs that have gone back
