Coal for Thousands of Years.
The results of the investigation of
the world's coal resources undertaken
by the International Geographical con
gress in 1913, have Just been pub
lished. They show that there is a re
serve of unmined coal estimated at
7,398,561,000,000 of tons, of which two
thirds are situated in North America
between the Rocky mountains and the
Appalachians.
As the present annual consumption
is about 1,300,000,000 tons, there is
enough coal in sight to last nearly
6,000 years at the present rate of
consumption, and it must be remem
bered that South" America and Africa
are still largely unexplored.

1 Type of Horses Needed on Southern Farms.
It does not follow that the horse
the southern farmer needs Is the
one he thinks he needs. Moreover,
since opinions differ as to the type of
horse needed and the various kinds
of work required of farm horses de
mand various types of horses, it is
quite certain no one type of horse
will do best all the different kinds of
work required on southern farms.
The horse most needed will, there
fore, of necessity be in the nature of
a compromise. We must first deter
mine the most important work re
quired of the farm horse before we
can determine the type of horse most
needed, for it is only reasonable that
in his selection his most important
service Bhould be given greatest
weight.
For those who expect to continue
the use of one-horse implements to
any large extent, the horse or mule
weighing around 1,000 pounds is most
needed. He must have quality, speed
and endurance, for with small one
horse implements the only chance to
obtain economical service is through
greater activity.
The class of farmers who are adopt
ing modern methods and using two
and three-horse implements, because
they do more economical and' better
work and save man labor, is grow
ing rapidly, but is still comparative
ly small. Many of those who use
larger implements for plowing and
preparing the land still adhere to one
horse implements for cultivating the
crops.
But the demand for larger farm
work stock is growing and will con
tinue to grow rapidly. - The average
man who has begun the use of mod
ern implements and methods now de
mands a horse or mule weighing 100
to 200 pounds more than was most
popular ten years ago, and ten years
from now a horse or mule weighing
200 pounds more than the popular
type of today will be demanded.
To do good, efficient and economical
service the horse needed on south
ern farms must weigh 1,200 to 1,400
Just Colts.
pounds. This is larger than is thought
best by most farmers, but if future
needs, and breeding requirements to
meet these future needs, are consid
ered, this weight is still too light, for
the horse needed ten years from now
will weigh 1,300 to 1,500 pounds
The farm horse does most of his
work at a walking gait, and he must
have the weight to pull sufficiently
large loads to more than make up for
any deficiency in speed as compared
with lighter animals. The greatest
need on southern farms is for better
work. Texas, for instance, has used
more horses as a means of doing
more work, cultivating more acres,
but the real need for heavier farm
horses is to enable the farmer to do
better work. The best work cannot
be done with one-horse plows and
other one-horse implements. Large
plows and disk harrows require larg
er horses.
But this 1,300 or 1,400-pound horse
must be of good quality. He need
not have the speed of the 900 or 1.000-
pound horse, but he must be of gentle
disposition, good quality, compactly
built and rugged.
A horse weighing 1,300 or 1.400
pounds is too large for light driving
or saddle purposes, and yet these
services are required of farm horses.
It is true that these are unimportant
services, compared with the work of
cultivating the land and hauling the
farm products to market, and this be
ing the case it follows that the horse
of most service on the farm is the
ono that will cultivate the land best
anl most economically. If the mulo
is to remain the chief draft animal of
th s South, we must breed the type o!
nwes that will produce the type of
ir ule needed, and here again, the need
I for a mare weighing 1 300 to 1.500
rounds.
The horse the southern farmer
r,ieds must be bred, for no countrv
ever can buy sufficient farm work
stock to supply Its needs. Moreover
it must be largely bred from our na
tive mares. This will be a slow and
possibly the most expensive method
In the long run, but it is the only ona
likely to prove practicable.
If we are right that the southern
farmer needs a horse weighing 1,200
to 1,500 pounds and that such an ani
mal must be bred up from our native
mares weighing 800 to 1,000 pounds,
it is apparent that the sires must be
from the draft breeds. It then seems
to follow that the horse needed on
southern farms is a draft horse. The
southern farmer has much the same
attitude towards a draft horse that a
mad bull has toward a red flag, but
we offer to him the quieting thought
that a real draft horse, these times,
weighs 1,600 pounds or more and
therefore the type of horse we have
suggested is really not a draft horse,
but a horse with sufficient draft blood
to give him the size required to do
good and economical farm wrk.

RAISE DEWBERRIES IN SOUTH
Plant Does Especially Well on Light.
Sandy Soil Plan for Hea'hy
Canes Next Year.
Dewberries can be grown to advan
tage In almost all parts of the South,
especially on light, sandy land. Plan
tations are started by setting out thy
rooted tips in rows five or six feei
apart. Fat lightwood stakes seveti
feet long make good supports for the
vines, which are usually twined about
the stakes and tied at the top.
As the dewberry is very subject to
anthracnose, a disease which destroys
the canes, it Is a good practice to cut
off and burn after the fruiting season
all parts of the plant above ground.
A high-grade fertilizer should then
be applied and the vines cultivated
thoroughly during the rest of the sea
son to produce new, healthy canes for
next year's crop. i
Dewberries, raspberries and straw
berries can be grown to advantage in
the wide middles between pecan trews.
GOOD REASONS FOR DAIRYING
Not Enough Butter, Milk and Cream
Produced in Louisiana to Supply
Demands of Farmers.
(By J. M. CADWLUDER. Louisiana
State University.)
Many people will no doubt be sur
prised to learn that there is not
enough butter, milk and cream pro
duced in Louisiana to supply the peo
pie on the farms of the state, to say
nothing of supplying our small and
large cities.
The northern dairymen are enjoy
ing the profits realized by producing
butter and selling it to our southe n
farmers for 40 cents per pound when
we can produce butter and milk
cheaper than they. If for no other
reason, Louisiana farmers should en
gage in dairying to supply their own
needs.
HOUSES FOR STORING COTTON
Upon Construction of Structure De
pends Rate of Insurance Paid c
Staple It Contains.
The correct designing of a cotton
warehouse is of much importance, be
cause upon the construction of the
warehouse depends the rate of insur
ance charged for the cotton inside it.
The average insurance rate, it Is
said, in the buildings now in use is
as high as two dollars a year on $100.
In standard warehouses, properly pro
tected by automatic sprinkler equip
ment, this rate could be reduced to "5
cents on $100.
It is a curious fact that many of the
warehouses now in use cost more to
build than if they had been made tc
conform to the standards.

PASTEURIZED MILK IN FAVOR
Great Advantage In Process Is to In
sure Freedom From Disease
Producing Organisms.
The great advantage In pasteurizing
narket milk is to insure its freedom
from disease-producing organisms.
This is a point which is constantly
brought forward in favor of pasteuriza
tion of milk. Of course the pasteurized
milk will have better keeping quali
ties than the same milk that has not
been pasteurized and of course this
is an advantage from the standpoint
of the milk dealer, and is also an ad
vantage to the milk consumer.
Outside the cost of the process,
there are practically no disadvantages
connected with the pasteurization of
milk. This is especially true with the
way pasteurization is conducted today.
There is absolutely no doubt but that
milk properly pasteurized and prop
erly handled subsequent thereto is
just as healthful a food for children
as well as for adults as is raw milk.
Most of the commercial pasteuriza
tion of market milk at the present
time is done by heating the milk to
145 degrees for approximately thirty
minutes. This temperature and time
of exposure does not change the milk
physically or chemically to any appre
ciable extent. If milk is heated to
higher temperatures or for longer pe
riods of time, the creaming powers
of the milk will be influenced that Is,
the heated milk will cream less rapid
ly and somewhat less completely than
the raw milk. The milk will also ac
quire, which is objectionable to many
people, what is known as the cooked
taste. It is not probable that the nu
tritive value of the milk is injured;
in fact, at the present time many phy
sicians advocate the heating of chil
dren's milk to the boiling point.
IMPROVING THE DAIRY HERD

3. Keep stables clean, well-lighted
and ventilated.
4. Weigh the milk of each cow at
milking time.
5. Get your neighbor to share with
you in owning a Babcock milk tester,
and test the product of each cow.
6. Discard the animals which have
failed at the end of the year to pay
for their keep.
7. Breed your cows to a purebred

8. Raise well the heifer calves from
cows, which for one or more genera'
tions have made large and profitable
productions of milk and butterfat.
9. Breed heifers to drop their first
calves at 24 to 30 months of age. Give

lactation periods.
10. Join a dairy cattle breeders as

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY COW
Most Economical Producer of Human
Food of All Domestic Animals
She Is Here to Stay.
(By N. J. FRASER, Illinois.)
Since the cow Is the most econom
ical producer of human food of all our
domestic animals, and as she can live
and produce milk on ; a ration com
posed entirely of roughage, she will
be the animal that will be resorted to
in order to convert half of the energy
of our common crops, which is other
wise unavailable, into human food.
Another reason why the cow is here
to stay, and will always be of vital
importance in sustaining human life,
is that babies and invalids cannot be
nourished on cornmeal mush alone.
For these reasons, even after the
time comes that there is an actua'
struggle for human food, the dair?
cow will still be a vital and abidin
"actor in a system o permanent agr:
culture, if we are to retain a hig
degree of civilization.

Simple Laxative Compound
Helps to Correct Consti

With all children there are times
when the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par
ents to administer a remedy. Cathar
tics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tem
porary relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva

been subject to constipation, and that
she found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
the best remedy because of its mild
ness, and now always keeps a bottle
of it in the house.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a
compound of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs of
any kind, and is an Ideal remedy for
children because of its mild action and
positiv9 effect. Its use tends to
strengthen the impaired bowel action
and restore normal regularity.

The close connection which exists

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
Is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
