(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OI Agriculture.)
Farmers frequently are situated so
they cau profitably supply fuel from
their woodlands und thus relieve, to a
considerable extent, tht beuvy demand
for coal.
A maximum price for coal has been
flxed by the Government. This does
not mean, however, that the railroads
wlU be able to transport all of the
coal which the consumers may desire
or want. Every freight cur Is per
forming a heavy duty; and the fewer
the cars that are used for coal the
greater will be the number available
for carrying other war commodities.
Manufacturers, of course, cannot
substitute wood for coul; neither can
city people, because Ibis would result
in even greater rallroud congestion.
Nor Is It likely that in either the South
or the West the use of wood for fuel
can be greatly increased. But In
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri
It ought to be entirely practicable In
many cases to replace conl with wood
for fuel. In these 17 states Is a rural
population of about 20,000,000, which,
It Is estimated, uses annually about
18,000,000 tons of coal. If, by substi
tuting wood, one-quarter of the coal
burned by fnrmers and one-tenth of
the coal burned In villages could bo
saved, the total saving would amount
to nearly 3,000,000 tons, or between
60,000 and 70,000 cnrloads.
Reduce Coal Consumption.
It Is where team-hauled wood can
be used In place of railroad-hauled
coal that the change should be made.
Farmers who own woodlands and peo
ple In villages who can purchnse wood
from nearby farms are the ones In the
best position to reduce their consump
tion of coal. It Is not expected sub
stitution of wood for coul will be com
plete or universal ; for many purposes
coul Is much more convenient. But
for heating many kinds of buildings
wood Is the more convenient and
cheaper fuel. This Is particularly true
In the case of churches, halls, summer
cottages, and other buildings for which
beat Is required only occasionally; but
Is then wanted In large volume at
short notice.
Furnaces are built especially for
burning wood In 3 or 4 foot lengths.
Short lengths, of course, can readily
be burned In nn ordinary coal furnnce
or In a box stove, though this ts rather
wtisteful of fuel. Many furnnce manu
facturer!, however, make a special
wood grate for use In their furnaces.
One advantage In burning wood la that
nn moderately cool days the furnace
can be run nt a lower ebb than when
coal Is used, consuming only enough
fuel to remove the chill. When wood
Is used In a round pot furnace, care
should be taken to have ench piece He
flut.
If a stove grate Is too coarso for
wood, u sheet Iron cover over n good
part of the surface will make It suit
able, or a few lire bricks can be used.
Relative Heating Value of Wood and
Coal.
In the matter of beating value, ono
standard cord of well-seasoned hick
ory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, nsh,
elm, locust, or cherry Is approximately
equal to one ton (2,000 pounds) of
anthracite coul. It takes a cord and n
half of soft maple and two cords of
i-rdiir, poplar, or basswood, however,
io give the same amount of heat
One cord of mixed wood well sen
toned equals In besting value at least
one ton (2,000 pounds) of average
grade bituminous coal.
If the consutnet can buy coal at $S a
Ion, It would hardly be worth bis while
to burn Drst-clSSs wood at $8 a cord,
pxcepl in mi open fireplace, because
il l a more convenient fuel. If.
however, coal becomes so scarce that
!i cannot lie secured in sufficient quan
lilies, (he consumer will, in some
eases, have to burn wood ut $10 or
even M.i 11 eon!.
Methods of Making Cordwood.
The most common method of making
cordw 1 is to cut the trees Into 4-
foot lengths with the ax and split the
year. To have the best heating value,
as well as to reduce the cost of haul
ing, wood should be thoroughly sea
soned, which means nlr-drylng It from
six to eight months. When piled so
as to get a good circulation of air,
however, 50 per cent of the molst'ire
may be removed In three months.
Wood cut In October and November,
therefore, may be burned the latter
part of the winter.
Formerly it was common practice to
have wood cut by contract tr from
$1 to 1.80 per cord. With the present
high price of labor, however, the cost
may exceed $2 a cord. The great dif
ficulty in securing farm labor Is dur
ing the harvesting period. If fanners
can secure sufficient labor to harvest
their crops, they should be able to
keep enough men to cut and haul wood
later 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 labor 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 a cord, there is very
little opportunity to Becnre a profit of
even $1 a cord. But with the prices
Indicated for the coming winter, thin
nings become practicable over a wide
range of country In the vicinity of good
markets.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea

we are living In an age when a youth

Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about 50 cents a bottle. It Is very
popular because nobody can discover
It has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with It and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, Is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which la so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is a de
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. It

Cheerful Open Grate Is
Most Inefficient Device
Used in Heating a House.
The winter days call attention to the
proper use of the grate fire by those
who will try to help the country save
coal. When the need of using fuel
economically Is as strong as It Is now,
writes Van H. Manning, director of the
bureau of mines, department of the in
teiior, we can say, twisting our words
a bit, that the proper way to use the
grate is to use It not at all. If we look
at the open grate as merely a heating
device, and know how small a propor
tlon of the total heat In the fuel enters
the room to be warmed, we must re
gard the open grate as probably the
most Inefficient of all the inefficient de
vices used In heating a house. The
cheer and companionship of an open
grate fire must not be charged against
the heating bill, but to some other ac
count.
Efficiency Is always a ratio or frac
tion, and Is what you get out compared
with what you put In. Into the grate
one puts fuel that has the ability to
produce a large amount of heut, but
the useful heat obtained from this fuel
Is relatively small. Most of the heat
in the fuel goes racing up the chimney.
In company with a large amount of air
from the room, this air being replaced
by cold air drawn In through cracks
and crannies In the windward side of
the house. As a device for drawing In
cold air a grate is excellent, but It fur
nishes much more ventilation than Is
needed. Mush less fuel, properly
burned In a stove, would warm the
house better.

BACK YARD
POULTRY KEEPING
If the best results are to be expect
ed from the flock, the hens must not
be allowed to become overrun with
lice or the house with mites. Usually
there will be a place In the yard
where the hens can dust themselves In
the dry dirt. If such a place Is not
available, a box large enough (about
two feet square) for the hens to get
into It should be provided In the house
and a quantity of dust such as ordi
nary road dust or fine dirt pluced in
it to allow the hens a plnce lo dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the
hens In keeping lice in check and
therefore adds to their comfort Dsn
ally the lice are not present on the
birds in sufficient number to prove par
ticularly harmful. However, It is bet
ter to keep the hens as free as possi
ble from this pest, and if they are
not able to keep them In check by
dusting themselves, other measures
can be undertaken.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinches of
sodium Humid, a material which can
be obtained at most large drug stores,
among the feathers next to the skin
one pinch on the head, one on the
neck, two on the back, one on the
breast, one below the vent, one at the
base of the tall, one on either thigh,
and one scattered on the underside of
each wing when spread. Another
method Is to use a small quantity of
blue ointment, a piece about as yjrge
as a pea on the skin one Inch below
the vent. If mercurial ointment Is
used instead of blue ointment. It
should be diluted with an equal quan
tity of vaseline. Any of these meth
ods will be found very effective in rid
ding the hens of lice and should be
employed whenever the lice become
troublesome. Two or three applica
tions a year usually prove sufficient.
Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live vfpon the birds like the lice, but
during the day hide In the cracks and
crevices of the roosts and walls of the
house, and at night they come out and
get upon the fowls. They suck the
hen's blood, and If allowed to become
plentiful as they certainly will If not
destroyed will seriously affect her
health, and consequently her ability
to lay eggs. They may be eradicated
by a few thorough applications of ker
osene or some of the coal-tar products
which are sold for this purpose, or
crude petroleum, to the interior of the
poultry house. The commercial coal
tar products are more expensive but
retain their killing power longer, and
they may be cheapened by reducing
with an equal part of kerosene. Crude
petroleum will spray better If thinned
with one part of kerosene to four
parts of the crude oil. Both the 'crude
petroleum and the coal-tar products
often contain foreign particles, so
should be strained before attempting
to spray. One must be sure that the
spray reaches all of the cracks and
crevices, giving especial attention to
the roosts, dropping boards and nests.

A Welcome Opportunity.
"I enjoyed that state paper very
much," remarked Senator Sorghum.

a speech as often as I do in a poker
game." Washington Star.
Just So.
"Incarcerating offenders Is the
wrong idea. We ought to try to pre

"They say you can tell Halloween

You reckless men and women who
are pestered w'th corns and who have
at least once a week Invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness Is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts oft with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even Ir
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid one's
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone he can get It at
any wholesale drug house for you.
