Technical Paper On
Coal Is Available

A copy of technical paper FOL,
Preparation Characteristics of Mary
land Goals" by W. l.. Crentz, coal
technologist, and Thomas Fraser,
supervising engineer, both with the
coal preparation section, Bureau Of
Mines, U. S. Department of the In
terror, Washington, is now available.
1t may be obtained only from the
superintendent of documents, govern
ment printing office, Washington, d.
c., zone 25. for Is cents, according
to J. j. Rutledge, chief mine engi-
neer.
To aid the coal mining industry in
Maryland, the Federal Bureau of
Mines studied the suitability for COM
mercial use of the lower beds under
lying the Pittsburgh big Vein) bed,
one of the most productive in the
State, but now nearing exhaustion.
The future of the region as coal
producer according to the report, de-
ponds almost entirely upon eXplolta-
ton of other beds, which are thinner,
more irregular, and contain impuri-
ties. Mining these beds would be diff
ficult and would require intensive
preparatory treatment to produce a
marketable grade, the report states.
Tests were conducted on the Frank
lin, Barton, Harlem, Upper Bakers
town, Lower Bakerstown, Upper
Freeport, Upper Kittanning, Lower
Kittanning and Mount Savage beds.
Maryland coal mining is confined to
Allegany and Garrett Counties in the
westernmost part of the State.

CHECK LIVESTOCK
SAFETY PRACTICES

The gun that wasn't loaded ana
the bull that could be trusted have
something in common they're both
responsible for many accidents. The
gentle bull is too often the one
that acts at unexpected moments,
cores someone to death or infiicts
serious injury" states Delmar
Young, extension dairyman.
One of the principal safety rules
with bulls is to handle them as lit
tie as possible, according to the Ma
tional Safety Council. With a prop
erly designed and well constructed
bull pen, any bull can be handled
safely. The gate and doors, as well
as facilities for feeding, watering
end breeding, can be arranged TO
eliminate all danger of attack from
the bull
Bulls are not the only livestock
on the farm to be handled with care.
The National Safety Council points
out that horses were responsible
for more farm deaths and injuries
last year than bulls.
The Council suggests that harm
ess, neck yokes, single trees, dou-
bic trees, eveners, tongues and
other accessories be thoroughly
checked and any flaws repaired at
cnce. Broken equipment frequently
contributed to accidents involving
horses.
