RATE IRON AND GOLD BY TON
Total Production of All Metals In the
United States In 1911 Valued
at $788.925,046.
The total production of all metals
In the Utnited States in 1911 was 27.
R78.282,094 tons, valu -d at $7t;.923.
046. In the volume of "Mineral Re
sources." published by the United
States geological survey. Is a short
chapter by II. 1). McCaskey that con
tains a unique table. In which, for the
sake of comparison, the production of
all metals is reduced to short tons.
Thus pig iron, with a production from
both domestic and imported ores of
26.048,162 short tons. valued at $327,.
334.n24. Is contrasted with platinum,
the production of which was less than
a ton (1999 ton), valued at $1.30.8,480,
and gold, with a production of 1901.704
tons, valued at $114.981.0S0. In the
several mining industries various
units are commonly employed which
do not admit of convenient compart
son. For instance, the production of,
anthracite coal is always stated by the
producers in long tons, but that of
bituminous is given in short tons.
Again, the "flask" (seventy-five
pounds) is the customary unit for the
measurement of quicksilver, except
where the metric ton Is used. The
troy ounce is used for measuring the
precious metals. As shown by the ta
bles In this report, the value of the
total production for 1911 was $86.732.
580 less than that for 1910. Another
table gives the production of domestic
crude metallic ores, and this. together
with imports of foreign supplies treat
ed in domestic plants. compared with'
the figures of domestic metal produc-.
tlions, shows the sources from which
these metals are derived. The total
production of all ores in 1911 was
105.258.492 short tons.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF HINGES
One Should Keep in Mind That the

In deciding whether to is, strap I
of "T'" hinges one should keep in
mind the fact that. when the two are
of the' same nominal size' -as six-inch
or five-inch- and of about the same
cost, the "T" hinge Is about twice as
strong as the other, says a writer in
thie Scientiflc Anerican. A thing is

the' weakest part of such hinges Is the
joint, or that part of the Hap which

re'ference to the accompanying sketch,

FARM LIFE BEST

Cost of Living in City' Is So Much

(tty J. C. CITMMIN'R.)
To the Editor: I am glad to note
the considerable interest being taken
In small farms by those who have
been bent on living in the city.
I am glad to state that I feel there
Is much more enjoyment and happlI
ness on the small farm than there Is
In city life, and, this I know through
personal experience
I am a carpenter by trade, learning
the trade while living on a farm after
a year or two I thought I could make
more money In the city, as wages were
better, so I went to the city to work.
getting wages ranging from 25 to 50
cents per hour.
I did not stop to figure the cost of
livlng In the city, but I found that it
was so much higher than In the coun.
try that at the end of each month I
was where I started.
Finally in despair I daecided to move
back to the. country on a small farm.
We got some chlckans, a cow and a
hog, and soon found our living came
much e'asie'r and I also find I have all
the work I can dla at my trade.
