Any Farmer Handy With Tools Can
Put Implement Together at Home
— It Can Be Folded Up.
A writer In Southern Beendest In
giving a plan for making a section
harrow snys:
Take four pieces, 2V6x3 Inches, 4
feet long, tnnrked A ; three pieces
2V£x3 Inches, 3 feet long, marked It;
two pieces 2V4x.‘t Inches, 4 feet long,
marked C ; 25 feet o f 'Si-Inch steel rod
for teeth; four strap hinges to fasten
on underside,
ltore seven holes In
each piece, n little smnller than the
teeth, equal distance apart.
A fter
driving the teeth arrange the swivel
bnrs after the manner of a section
harrow, anti then fasten the braces as
shown. Place honks or chains equal
distance from center for hitch chain.
Now cut tho harrow through center
nnd fasten the hinges on the under
side. I f teeth nre In the way punch
hole In hlngo for teeth. Put on the
hitch chain, nnd the harrow is ready
to r work. Any man handy with tools
can make this tool, and It can be
anthracite coal. It takes a cord and a
half of soft maple and two eords of
cellar, poplar, or basswood, however,
to give I ho same amount of beat.
One cord o f mixed wood well sea­
soned equals In beutliig value at least
one ton (2,000 pounds) of averuge-
grade bituminous coal.
I f the consumer can buy coal at $8 n
ton, It would hardly be worth bis while
to burn first-cluas wood at 98 a cord,
except In an open fireplace, because
coni Is a more convenient fuel. If,
however, coal becomes so scarce that
It cannot be secured In sufficient quan­
tities, the consumer will, in some
cases, have to burn wood at 910 or
even 915 u cord.
Methods of Making Cordwood.
The most common method of making
cordwood Is to cut the trees Into 4-
foot lengths with the ux and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled In u standard cord, which is 8
feet long, 4 feet high, and 4 feet wide.
The contents nrc 128 cubic feet, of
which about 70 per cent Is wood and
80 per cent «Ir. Wood cut 4 feet long
can be sold to brickyards, limekilns,
metal-working plants, and other Indus­
tries, but Is too lurge for household
use. This method Is us.-d chiefly where
the tree growth Is comparatively
small, us In second growth, because
such wood splits easily.
Another method, und one better
adapted for old growth hardwoods,
which arc difficult to spilt, Is to saw
the tree Into logs of convenient
lengths, say from 10 to 15 feet. These
are “ snaked” out to the edge of the
woodland and there sawed and split
Into lengths proper for the stove or
furnace. The sawing is usuully done
by machine, driven eltfi. r by gasoline
or by electricity. T b « wood Is sawed
Into 10-Inch lengths, as is customary
with stove material, three runs are
theoretically equivalent to one cord.
Actually they contain somewhat more
wood, since small pieces can be packed
more closely than larger ones.
Wood s Profitable Farm Crop.
Firewood ought to tiring a better
profit this year than ever before, on
uccount of the higher prices which
are likely to prevail. Wood Is a much
less perishable crop than many which
the farmer raises.
When properly
piled, the better kinds of wood will
Inst from two to three yenrs, though
It steadily deteriorates after the first
year. To have the best heating value,
us well ns to reduce the cost of haul­
ing, wood should he thoroughly sea­
soned, which means air-drying It from
six to eight months. When plied so
us to get n good circulation of atr,
however, 50 per cent o f the moisture
rnny he removed In three months.
Wood cut In October und November,
therefore, may be burned the latter
part o f the winter.
Formerly It was common practice to
have wood cut hy contract fo r from
$1 to $1.50 per cord. With the present
high price o f labor, however, the cost
may exceed $2 n cord. The great dif­
ficulty in securing fnrm labor is dur­
ing tho harvesting period. I f farmers
can secure sufficient lnbor to harvest
their crops, they should be able to
keep enough men to cut nnd haul wood
Inter In the season. In fact, the profit­
able employment of one or two extra
men on the farm during the winter
may help to solve lnbor difficulties dur­
ing the rush season.
The prices which cordwood will
likely bring this year offer an oppor­
tunity for the farmer to Improve his
woodland.
Improving the woodland
means taking out the poorer trees. In
the past this has seldom been prac­
ticable. for the Inferior wood was not
marketable. With wood bringing only
from $4 to $5 n cord, there Is very
little opportunity to secure n profit of
even $1 a cord. Rut with the prices

Many a man has fallen down because a
teat of hla w ater showed unmistakably
that he had kidney disease.
T h e kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. T h eir signals
of distress are easily recognized and In­
clude such symptoms as backache, de­
pressions, drowsiness, Irritability, head­
aches,
dizziness,
rheumatic
twinges,
dropsy, gout.
“ The very best w a y to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health
anil cure such sym ptom s," says Dr
Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.,
"Is to drink plenty of w ater and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
