Mine Fire Has Raged 43 Years

Covers 50,000 Acres of Coal Land in the Hocking Valley. Shawnee. Ohio. —A veritable mouth of hell is open in Ohio—perhaps the greatest tire on earth. From the hill i< ps one sees, as far as the eye can teach, thousands of miniature vol canoea belching forth ruin on a fair land. In the mouth of one of the many era »•.■* t ne may stand • nd Raxe far back into the earth and see the racing fire that has been burning since 1884. It has been eating out a rich vein of coal and devastating a region that was lavishly endowed by nature, says the New York Times Forty-three years ago during what Is still known'as “the big coal strike. - ' when miners wore holding out for more pay and were being beaten by the importation of strike-breakers from further south, the old Plumber mine, located In Perry county. Ohio lietween Shawnee and New St'nltsville, whs fired by angry along with seven other large mines. It was the climax of a series nf riots and killings. That tire has spread over an area of almost ,’Wi.ooo acres of vaini.ble coal lands, involving the whole of the Hocking Salley district, one of the richest bituminous coal districts in the country. Tragedy Long Drawn Out It seems inconceivable that so great a catastrophe could occur within the bounds of the United States without attracting wide attention. But the explanation Is simple It has so slowly and steadily progressed that It has become commonplace to_ th* people who live nenr It It Is not even a topic of conversation, except when a geyser of fire breaks out near a cabin forcing the occupants to hunt a new home. Rut such minor tragedies are too common to attract much attention tn this land of tragedy. And so. while Sabotage has been thus dramatised on a tremendous scale for 43 rears In the Ohio hills Hie public at large has km wn little or nothing of it. There are n,e mnnt visitors in the great tire region, and t<siay few outside of the Immediate vicinity know that a great tire is burning under <M square miles, fast consuming what Is left of Ohio's finest coal deposit. “Can't the fire he checked*' the layman who learns of the catastrophe always asks. The answer 1s an emphatic no Several private fortunes and much public money have been sjtent in attempts tn put out the fire and not the slightest Impression has been made on It. The coal is of such rich quality and Iles so nenr the surface that It has been Impossible to halt the fin men In one of the early efforts water was pumped underground for three years, hut thia only seemed to make the fire burn more fiercely. As the coni Iles high In the slopes rather than deep In the ground, the water either runs off or turns to steam, with the result that large craters are blown In the hillsides. The usual method of fighting a mine fire is to shut off the air and thus smother the flames. Here, however. when the thick vein of com burns out the earth above It caves In This opens deep fissures In the earth, through which the fire gets a new air supply. In rainy weather water runs

through these earth cracks and the steam, forcing its way out. shoots the flames sometimes 50 feet into thg air The coal in this Hocking Valley dis trict averages about 1.700 tons a foot of thickness per acre. The average thickness of the vein is ten feet. To date. 64 square miles, or 40.000 acres, have been destroyed. On this basis. 6Att.320.000 tons of coal have been sacrificed. The loss has climbed from millions of dollars into billions. And that Is but the beginning of the story. Constantly in Danger. On the highway between Shawnee and New Straltsvllle at Intervals along the brick paved road are sign boards warning that cave-ins. may occur at any moment —and they do. Here and there a patch in the paving mutely tells where a cave-in caused the roadway to drop as much as ten or fifteen feet. In the heart of this fire country dozens of men are opening up new passages to their small mines because the place worked the day before had become a seething furnace. These miners are playing a game with fate that makes ordinary mining seem like child's play by comparison On the hillsides rise geysers of steaming water. Great.* red-hot fissures open in the earth through the blackened ruin of what was once a verdant forest. Through the valley runs a stream, from which, even tn below zero weather, there rises a blanket of steam. Above the valley hangs a pall of white smoke, pierced here and there by the white tips of the tallest trees and the crests of the highest hills.

Crime Board Plans Drive Against ‘Fence’ New York.—To reduce criminal activities, the “fence.” or receiver of stolen goods, must be abolished. Richard Washburn Child, chairman of the national crime commission, says. With this idea in mind, the commission will submit to a genera) conference to be held in Washington the last week in October a uniform law, to be presented to the legislatures of all states which is designated to place a heavy penalty upon receivers of stolen goods. Maxwell S. Mattuck, general counsel of the National Association of Credit Men. a member of the commission, placed the annual loss to the country through the activities of the •‘fence’’ at $500,000,000.

Unearth Spar of Ship, One of Perry’s Fleet Perry. Ohio.—A relic of a United States battleship believed to have been at one time a proud part of Commodore Perry's fleet which helped clear the Great Lakes of British frigates over a century ago. has been un earthed here. It is a ten-foot wooden epar, bearing an inscription. “Perry, 1812.” It was dug from a sandy bed along the shore of Lake Erie here recently hy Pittsburgh and Cleveland business men. L. A. Wells. Cleveland construction engineer, noticed an end of the spar protruding through the sand near the summer home of H. Fred Mercer. Pittsburgh lawyer. With the aid of J. S. Van Epps. Cleveland coal broker, they' brought rhe spar to light from its bed where it evidently had rested for many years. Perry is in the northeast corner of Lake Erie. and. although _’oi modore Perry’s famous "battle of Lake Erie” was fought and won against the British at Put-In-Bay on the western end of Lake Erie, waste and drift from lake boats pile up along the beach here from all parts of Ijtke Erie.

be classified as “all afternoon.” “All Is forgiven. Go home to your little woman. Don’t forget the baby's clothes." Now isn’t that a rare combination? Ranging from the threat of a broken home, and then flying upward to the possibility of a glorious reunion but dropping to drab domestic affairs in the next breath. One can almost see a well-meaning man doing bis best for a pair of I friends. Too many movie titles had used that “all is forgiven" phrase to permit him to pass it up. Next he told the story, dear and concise, informing some erring male that no rolling-pin barrage awaited him. And then came the reminder of duty—“don’t forget the baby's dothes.” But the crowning message of all. causing one to wonder whether dealers in moonshine are using the “appointment books” is the following: "That gin was awful. Turned both my plates to chewing gum. Can’t you do better tonight?" And ao it goes, page after page—some of which seem almost to have ■ been jotted down solely for the amusement of readers. I ♦

FLESHING MASH AIDS CONDITION The high egg production obtained during the past year on the demonstration farms throughout New Jersey, and at the Bergen and Vineland egglaying contests, is attributed by F. C. Clickner, of the agricultural experiment station, primarily to the use of a fleshing mash during the fall and winter season. The effect of the mash has been to keep the birds up to proper body weight, so that they were able to resist winter complaints and keep on a steady egg production basis. The fleshing mash used was made up of the following Ingredients: 1 pound corn meal. 1 pound ground ! rolled oats; 1 pound semi-solid but- ! termllk, and 1 pint codliver oil. when I codliver oil had not already been ins corporated in any other part of the ration. "This mixture," says Mr. Clickner, "moistened with water so as to form a crumbly mash, is sufficient for 100 binds at one feeding. It is best fed sometime near the noon hour, preferably early in the afternoon, so that the birds will have sufficient time to empty their crops and take on a good supply of the scratch feed before perching. The real value in the fleshing mash is that sometimes we find difficulty in keeping the birds up to fourteen pounds of scratch, and they are less likely to drop on this account when the fleshing mash is fed. There is no danger of forcing with the use of the fleshing mash since it is hot a wet mash for stimulating production." i ■ Laying Birds Require Dry Air in Henhouse paying birds need dry, live air in the poultry house, with no drafts. This means a sufficient supply of oxygen. which in combination with proper feeding and exercise will keep the birds naturally warm. Dampness Is death to egg production and poultry houses become damp readily for the reason that the birds breathe off practically 75 per cent of all the moisture taken into their systems; a hen’s ! coat of feathers is an almost perfect non-conductor of heat when dry and will retain the body heat, but imI mediately the feathers become damp ■ the body heat escapes and the bird la ! cold, resulting in a debilitated condition predisposing the birds to dangerous colds and making them susceptible to any disease that may lurk unseen in their environment. ’ Drinking Vessels for Ducks Should Be Deep Unless the duck has a chance to thoroughly rinse its nostrils, and at the same time dash its head in water, injury may come from clogging the I nostrils or getting sore eyes, writes M. ! K. Boyer in the Farm and Ranch. The drinking vessels should be deep enough for this purpose. Annually a large number of yarded ducks are lost by having sore eyes ' and going blind. This is caused by dirt lodging in the eyes. Where ducks have access to a stream of water, or have drinking vessels deep enough so they may be able to get their heads under water, they can readily wash out this dirt. When they do not have that opportunity, the eyes fester and loss of sight is the consequence.

Chicken Paralysis Is Causing Heavy Losses According to Dr. L. P. Doyle of Purdue university, chicken paralysis Is now recognized as a distinct disease which is widely distributed and Is causing heavy losses. He maintains that worms do not cause paralysis Id chickens. Birds affected with this disease continue to have good appetites and die In an emaciated condition because they cannot reach a food supply. When this disease Is present in a flock, there are nearly always mature fowls showing a peculiar type of blindness in which the colored part of the eye turns almost white. No cure has been found. Avoid hatching eggs from flocks so afflicted. Comb of Laying Hens It is comparatively easy to tell which hens In the flock are laying. Probably the first point to observe would be the comb, which in a laying hen is usually of good size and bright red. while In a hen not laying the comb will be pale, small, dry and covered with a white scurf. The next point to observe wonld be the vent, which-In a laying hen is moist, soft and expanded, while in a non-laying hen the vent is dry, hank and puckered. Why Hens Roost Out Sometimes people complain that the hens do not like to roost in a poultry bouse, but when one examines the bouse it is easy to see why they prefer to stay out of doors. Too often the house Is dark, dirty, poorly ventilated and Infested with mites which suck the very life from any fowl that dares to seek shelter in the place. Oil drained from the crank case of an engine or automobile will kill mite*. Save it for the poultry house. Alfalfa for Chickens Alfalfa meal, and only meal mad* from leaves and blossoms should be used, is best fed in the ordinary mash. It may make up about one-tenth part by weight of the mash. Some alfalfa meal upon the market contains too much of the fiber from the stems ot the plant to be valuable Wh« one has feed alfalfa or clover hay he may feed this to hh fowls and avoid the need of pnrchasiag the alfalfa aaaal.
