A Living
Monument.
If we were ^.o assemble all
those who have been cured of
heart disease by Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure, and who would
to-day be in their graves had
not Dr. Miles’ been successful
in perfecting this wonderful
heart specific, they would pop
ulate a large city.
What a remarkable record—
a breathing, thinking, moving
monument, composed of human
lives,—that for which every
other earthly possession is sac
rificed.
The Miles Medical L.o. re
ceive thousands of letters from
these people like the following:
‘‘I feel indebted to the Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure for my life. I desire to call
the attention of others suffering as I
did to this remarkable remedy for the
heart. For a long time I had suffered
from shortness of breath after any
little exertion, palpitation of the heart;
and at times terrible pain in the region
of the heart, so serious that I feared
that I would some time drop dead upon
the street. One day I read one of your
circulars, and immediately went to
my druggist and purchased two bot
tles of the Heart Cure, and took it
according to directions, with the
result that I am entirely cured. Since
then I never miss an opportunity to
recommend this remedy to my friends
who have heart trouble; in fact X am
a traveling advertisment, for X am
widely known in this locality.”

Manager of Lebanon Democrat,
Nashville, Tenn.

the first bottle will benefit. If it fails

TOURIST CARS POPULAR.
The idea that an inferior class
of people patronize the tourist i
sleepers is an error. On many j
trips only the best class of trav- j
elers are found. They are merely
men and women of good sense
who \vould rather travel to Cali
ornia in this manner and save I
nug sum of money to be used '
here. It is beginning to be
that it is by no means
or the traveler to
rge sum of money in
njoy a trip to the Pa
bast.
f you cross the continent in
one of the tourist sleepers of the,
Union Pacific you will enjoy your
trip and save considerable money.

PENNSYLVANIA ANTHRACITE
Tovaage of Last Year Exceeded by Six
Million Tons That of Any
Previous Year.
The year 1903 stands as the high
water math of prosperity in the
anthracite coal trade, as the tonnage
for that year exceeded by more than
6,000,000 tone that of any previous
year, and the demand for coal was so j
good as to make it possible to dispose j
of the product at prices whioh,
brought a fair return to all con
cerned in the industry. Some signifi
cant figures in connection with the
production of Pennsylvania anthra
cite during 1903 have been collected
by Mr. William W. Ruley, special
agent of the United States geological
surrey, and will be inoluded in Mr.
E. W. Parker's report on the produc
tion of coal In 1903, which Is a regular
feature of the survey’s annual volume
on the mineral resources of the United
States.
At the commencement of 1903 there
was practically no anthracite In stock,
as the amount which* had been mined
after the strike of 1902 had gone
directly Into consumption. All that
could be mined during the first three
months oC 1902 was in immediate de
mand.
With the opening of navigation and
a reduction in price on April 1, dealer*
at all points endeavored to lay in an
ample supply of coal to meet their fall
and winter requirements. This mads
a brisk demand for the product dur
ing the spring and summer mouths,
with the resultant accumulation ol
stocks In dtalers' hands. The early j
arrival of cold weather, however, and
the prolonged severity of the wlntas
created an unusually brisk demand
for coal.
In connection with the large pro
duction, it is interesting to note ths
Increase la the shipments of the small
sizes of coal during 1903 over those ad
previous yean. This is especially
noteworthy on account of the oplnlof
generally expressed at the eloee of ths
anthracite etrlke, that bituminous
coal had largely suppleated anthrw
cite for steam purposes, end would
continue to hold this trade to thfe
exclusion of (he small sizes of the lat
ter product On the contrary, how
ever, the consumption of these smaller
sizes of coal Increased 2,468.694 tons lo
1903 over 1901. It would seem that
the inly cause which would seriously
affect ths prosperity of the anthracit*
business Is the general condition ot
the entire aountry. As long as th<
people at large are able to buy anthra

It Is also of Interest to note u
Increase of 16 cents In the average
value per ton for coal at the mines
The total production was 66,351,714
tons, valued at $162,036,448. The aver
age price per ton was $2.50; the num
ber of men, employed was 150,483; an?
the average number of days that each
man worked was 206.
Tables are given in the report whloq
•hows the production by oountles for
the years 1902 and 1904; also the ship
ments of anthracite and the propor
tion of sizes shipped. A tabular ar
rangement of the various sections ol
the anthracite fields Is given, with s
list of ten railroads that enter the ter
ritory.
The anthracite fields comprise as
area of somewhat over 480 squart
miles, and are located In the eastern
middle part of the state, In the coun
ties of Carbon. Columbia, Lack*
wanna, Luserne, Northumberland,
Schuylkill and Susquehanna. The#
are classed under three general divi
sions, namely, the Wyoming, Lehigh
and Schuylkill regions. Geologically
they are divided into fields or basins,
which are again subdivided Into dis
tricts.
The Bernice field, in Sullivan coun
ty, Is not Included la any of these re
gions The classification of the prod
uct of this Held Is a matter of some
contention. The fracture oi the coal
and sour of its cbaxacterMfcs are
more like those of some bituminous
or semianthracite coals than strict
anthracite, but on acoount of 1M high
percentage of fixed carbon eod low
percentage of moisture it Is classed as
muthraclte by the second Pennsyl

BERRIES FOR MARKET.
It Paya to Rnine Them, Provided the
Crop In Dinponed Of iu the RlgMt
War and Place.
Having been asked, by a farmer sub
scriber, if it will pay to grow berries
for market, in reply I will say “yes”—
If the business is managed right, and
the crop disposed of In the right way
and place. A good many of our
towns are not properly supplied with
berries; what they get. If any, are
second class—the overflow or refuse
from the cities, where the market is
often glutted. The commission men
send circulars out before the berries
are ripe, giving prices of berries shipped
from tbe south, inducing many home j
growers to ship. By the time their her-,
r.os get ripe the demand is supplied,
prices drop, and the berries being a per
ishable product, have to be 30ld for
what they will bring.
My advice is to grow berries for local
market towns that are not well supplied.
Such places can be found in the west;
land can be bought for less than half
that close to large cities, pickers are
cheap, and, as a rule, more reliable.
Berries that get too ripe on account of
rain, and which will not do to ship, can
be sold In the home market; all the
rough handling of the railroad men,
shipping expenses, commissions, etc.,
are saved, al3o crates and boxes. Thtn
when consumers get fresh, wholesome,
home grown berries, they often get twice
as many, and the growers in the local
market often can regulate the price.
It Is a mistake to plant too large an
acreage. We have to pay two cents s
quart for pickers; one cent for straw
berries and blackberries and one and
one-half to two cents for raspberries.
The pickers can make good wages. I
have had boys and girls under 16 years
old make a dollar a day. I, 18 years
ago, sold as high as $40 worth of straw
berries in a day. I remember selling
five dollars worth of raspberries from
one picking off one row the length of ten
acres. Blackberries, 12 or more years
ago, were not profitable, as so many
grew wild; but of late years, growing
blackberries has become more profitable

PROTECTION FOR PLANTS.
A Simple Sr«tem Which WT11 Par hi
Itself In the Course of a
Unde Week.
Market gardeners, and even the mak
er of a kitchen garden, feel the need o!
come wholesale means of protecting
newly set plants from the drying effects
of sun or air. A cloudy day is usually
taken for transplanting, but the sun
may come out with scorching heat at
any moment, and much harm be done ta
unshaded plants. Make a reel, ae shown
la the accompanying Illustration, and a
lot of wire supports, using No. 12 wire.
Make the reel roller and the wire sup
ports about a foot wide.
Now buy a lot of cheap cotton cloth
PROTECTOR IN OPERATION.
a yard wide, and as long aa the rows of
plants over which it is to be used. The
cloth can be divided Into three strips,
each strip being tacked at one end to a
real, aad at the other end to a 15-lnch
rod of wood. Stick the sides of the reel
Into the earth at one end of the row with
wire supports at intervals along tha row,
and pull the cloth along over the plants,
fastening the end at the last wire sup
port, as shown in the cut. Occasionally
slip a wire support down over the cloth
to keep the latter from blowing off the
wire supports below it. Wind up the
cloth on the reel when the plants no
longer need cover. — Orange Judd
Farmer.
Tfte RlvhC Way of Pranlnc.
Set a green hand to pruning trees,
where limbs of any size are to b« re
moved, and the chances are ten t» one
that he will commence on the dfcper
side of the limb and saw it off, sawing
through until, by Ite own weight, it falls,
tearing down the bark and wood, inflict
ing an ugly wound which it may require
years to heal, and which, if not carefully
protected from the weather, will cause
such decay as to destroy the tree. To
prevent injury to the tree, saw ofie
fourth or one-third through on the under
side, and then saw on the upper side, or,
with very large limbs, to have them sup
ported by a crotched pole, held by an as
sistant below.—N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.
