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 dhe 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 con: uniption, and it must be remem bored that South Amerilca and Africa are still largely unexplored.

COST OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION Much Depends on Amount and Char. acter of Grading Necessary-Oth er Factors Considered. .Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The cost of a road is dependent up on not only the type of construction, but the amount and character of grad ing to be done, the cost of labor and materials, the width and thickness of surfacing, the character and amount of drainage required, and other fac tors of equal variability. Based upon goieral averages, it has been ascer tained by highway specialists of the United States department of agricul, ture that under average conditions mac adam roads can be built in southern states at from $4,000 to. $5,000 per mile, gravel roads at from $1,500 to $2,500 per mile, and sand-clay and top soil roads at from $800 to $1,600 per mile In New England and the other eastern states, macadam roads are re ported at from $6,000 to $9,000 per mile, gravel roads at from $3,200 to $5,000, and bituminous macadam from $8,000 to $13,000, according to the character of construction, whether sur face-treated, penetration, or mixing method. The bituminous typo is quite general in the eastern states. As indicating costs in cther sections of country, the state highway commis sioner of Michigan reported in 1913 the average cost for macadam roads $4,300 per mile, clay-gravel roads $1, 600 per mile, and concrete roads about $10,000 per mile. The average cost of improved Michigan Road state highways constructed in Ohio in 1913 was $8,383. According to types in 1912, the brick-paved highways av eraged $14,660 per mile and the mac adam highways $5,950. In California the first 356 miles of the state system of highways cost an average 'of $8, 143 per mile and consisted principally of thin concrete with a thin coat of bitumen. The maximum and mini. mum figures given in this paragraph are not absolute, but are intended to present the usual range of costs. The rates given include grading, drainage, surfacing, and engineering costs. BOOSTER FOR BETTER ROADS Cost of Transportation of Produce tc Market is Lessened-Ditch, Drain and Drag Roads.. Good roads not only cheapen the cost of transporting farm produce to market, but make the countr-y a de sirable place to live in. We hear much talk about federal aid for good roads, yet if we wait for this movement, to crystallize into a reality, the people of the country will be riding in mudI for some time to come. The thing to do is to take oft coats and buckle into a plan for local road improvement. Be a booster for the grading of roads and follow up the work with the King road drag for maintenance. The principle of all good roads- in all States is the same, viz., keeping the water out and off of the roadbeds. Ditch, drain and drag the roads. This is the tripod of good road building. ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS Scarcely Secondary to Rail Transpor tation In Their Far-Reaching Ef fect on CivilizatIon. The two great necessities o modern life are education and trans portation, for civilization travels in the wake of good schools and good roads. Good roads lead in more good directions than the most far-seeing can contemplate. Commerce begins on the country roads and byways; they affect school r#ttendance and lit eracy; they control markets and prices, values of land, the develop ment and contentment of the people, the cost and pleasure of living, and are scarcely secondary to i-all trans portation in their far-reaching effect. They determine the character and growth of the community, and, the necessity for them cannot be overes timated, for a country that isn't worth a good road isn't worth living in. idaho Boosts Good Roads. The Southern Idaho Meter associa tion was perfected at Boise, Idaho, for the purpose of making a good roads campaign in southern Idaho. This marks an important step towvard giving impetus to tho good roads movement in the state. Keep Weeds Down. It does not take long to mow the growth along the roadside,' ditch banks and fence rows. You could do it going to and from the fields oftimes, *w whn yout have an hour to spare. MORE WEGHT IN H( Type of Horses Needed 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 should 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 pieparing 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 futurea needs,8 andl breeding requirements to meet these future needs, are consid eredl, this weight is still too light, for the horse needed ten years fr-om now will weigh 1,300 to 1,500 pounds. The farm horse (10es most of his work at a walking gait, and lie must have the weight to pull sufficiently large loadls to more than .make up for any (defleiency ini speed as compared with lighter animals. The greatest need en souther-n farms Is for better work. Texas, for instance, has usedl 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 wvork cannot be done with one-horse plows and other- one-horse implemnents. Large plowvs and( dlisk harrows requir-e larg er horses. But this 1,300 0or 1,400-pound horse must be of good quality. Hie needi sot have the slpeed of tihe 900 or 1,000 pound1( horse. but he must be ot gentle disposition, good quality, compactly built and~ r-uggedl. A hlorse weighing 1,300 or 1,400 poundls is too lrge for light driving or saddlle purposes. and yet these servicas are reqluiredl of farm horses. It is true thlat these al-c unimportant services. compar-ed with tihe work of culltivatinlg tihe land andl hamuling tihe farn~ )1roducts to market, and this be ing tile case it follows that the horse of most serviceO on the farm is thle one thlat will cultivate tihe' land best anfl most ecollnmiently. If the mulo is to remain the chief draft animal of th u South, we nmust breced tihe type ot malres that will produce the type of ur ale needled, and1 here again, the need is for a mare weiging 1,300 to 1,600 The horse the soulthern farmer ,eeds must be bred, for no country waor can buy sufficient farm work IRSES IS ESSENTIAL V" on Southern Farms. 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 one likely to prove practicable. If we are right that the southern farmer needs a horse weighing 1L200 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 *nust be from the draft breeds. It then seems to follow that the horse needed on southern farms is a draft horse. Tha 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 I therefore the type of horse we have suggested is really not a draft horse, but a horse with sufficient drait blood to give him the size required to do good and economical farm work.

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 the rooted tips in rows five or six feet apart. Fat lightwood stakes seven 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. Dewberries, raspberries and straw berries can be grown to advantage in thle wide midd~les between lpean trens.

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 F. Gaff, 517 10th St., Washington, D. C., says that her little girl, Marie, had 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 positivo effect. Its use tends to strengthen the impaired bowel action and restore normal regularity. It is important that parents should know of a. dependable remedy with no unpleasant after effects, griping or The Mystery.
