NEEDED FDR WAR SDPPLIES In Many States It la Entirely Practi cable to Replace Coal with Wood Saving Would Amount to 70,000 Cara. (Prepared by the tJnttaxl Mates Deport ment of Agriculture.) Farmers frequently uro situated so they can prolltithly supply fuel from their woodlands mid thua rclluvo, to n considerable oxtuiit, tho heavy demand for coal. A maximum price for coal haa heen fixed hy Iho (Joveniment. This does not mean, however, that tho railroad' will ho utile to tratiNport all of the coal which the conmimers may desire or want. Every freight car I per forming a heavy duty; and the fewer (ho cara (hut uro used for coal tho greater will he the number available for carrying other war commodities. .Manufacturer!, of course, cannot substitute wood for coal i neither can city people, becatixo thin would result In even greater railroad congestion. Nor In It likely that In either the South or tho WeHt thu uho of wood for fuel can bo greatly Increased, nut in Maine. Now Hampshire, Vermont, Mas sachusetts, Ithodo Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lllluoln, Michigan, Wis consin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri It ought to ho entirely practicable In many cases to replaco coal with wood for fuel. In theso 17 states Is a rural population of about 'JO.OOO.OOO, which. It Is estimated, uses annually about 18,000,000 tons of coal. If. by suhstl tutlng wood, one-uuarter of tho coal burned hy formers and one-tenth of tho coal hunied In villages could bo saved, tho total saving would amount to nearly 11,000,000 tons, or between (53,000 and 70.000 carloads. Reduce Coal Consumption. It Is where tenm-hnuled wood can ho used In place of railroad-hauled coal that the chungo should be made. Formers who own woodlnnds and peo: plo In villages who can purchase wood from nearby farms aro tho ones In the best position to reduce their consump tion of coal. It Is not expected sub addition of wood for coal will be com plete or universal ; for many purposes coal Is much more convenient. Rut for healing many kinds of buildings wood Is tho more convenient and cheaper fuel. This Is particularly true In tho cuso of churches, halls, summer cottages, nnd other buildings for which heat Is required only occasionally; but Is then wanted In large volume at short notice. Fumnces arc built especially for burning wood In It or 4 foot lengths. Short lengths, of course, can readily ho burned In an ordinary coal furnace or In a box stove, though this Is rather wasteful of fuel. Many furnace manu facturers, however, make a special wood grate for use In their furnaces. One advantage In burning wood Is that on moderately cool days the furnace can bo run at n lower eth than when coal Is used, consuming only enough fuel to removo tho chill. When wood Is used In n round pot furnace, care should ho taken to have each piece He Hat. ' If a stovo grate Is too coarse for wood, n Bhect Iron cover over a good part of tho surface will make It suit able, or a few tiro bricks ca t be used. Relative Heating Value of Wood and Coal. In tho matter of heating value, one standard cord of well-seasoned hick ory, oak, bench, birch, hard maple, ash. elm, locust, or cherry Is approximately equal to one ton (L',000 pounds) of MAKING A SECTION HARROW Any Farmer Handy With Tools Can Put Implement Togcthor at Home It Can Be Folded Up. A wrltor In Southern Poorulest In giving a plan for making a section harrow soya: Toko four pieces, Uxll Inches, ! foot long, marked A; threu pieces L"4x!l Inches, II feet long, marked 11; two pieces 2Hxll Inches, 4 feet long, marked O; 25 feet of -lnch steel rod for teeth; four strap hinges to fasten on underside. Iloro seven holes In each ploco, n littles smaller than tho teeth, equal dlstnnco npart. After driving tho teeth arrange tho swivel bars after tho manner of a section harrow, and then fasten tho braces as shown. I'laco hooks or chains equal dlstanco from center for hitch chain. Now cut tho harrow through center nnd fasten tho hinges on tho under side. If teeth rtro In the wny punch hole lp hlngo for teeth. Put on tho hitch chain, and tho harrow Is ready for work. Any man handy with tools can mauo this tool, und It can bo anthracite coal. Tt takes a cord and a half of soft mnplo nnd two cords of cedar, poplar, or bnsswood, however, lo give tho rnimo anion fit of heat. One cortl of mixed wood well sea soned equals In heating value at least one Ion (2,000 pounds) of average gratlo bituminous conl. If the consumer can buy coal at $6 a Ion, It would hardly ho worth bin while lo burn llrst-clnss wood at $8 a cord, except In an open fireplace, hecuuse coal Is a more convenient fuel. If, however, coal becomes so Rcarco that It cannot bo secured In sulllclent quan tities, tlH) consumer will, In some cases, liuvo to burn wood at $10 or even $15 a cord. Methods of Making Cordwood. Tho most common method of making cordwood la to cut the trees Into -1-foot length, with tho ar and split the larger pieces. Tho pieces aro then piled In a standard cord, which In 8 feet long, -I feet high, and -1 feet wide. Tho contents arc 128 cubic feet, of which about 70 per cent Is wood and .'10 per cent air. Wood cut 4 feet long can bo sold to brickyards, limekilns, metal-working plants, and other Indus tries, but Is too large for household use. This method Is used chiefly where the tree growth Is comparatively small, as In second growth, because such wood splits easily. Another method, nnd one better ndapled for old growth hardwoods, which arc dlflictilt to split, Is to saw Iho tree Into logs of convenient lengths, soy from 10 to 15 feet. These are "snaked" out to tho edge of the woodland ond there sawed and split Into lengths proper for tho stove or furnace. Tho sawing Is usually dono by machine, driven either by gasoline or by electricity. Tho wood Is sowed Into 10-Inch length", as Is customary with stove material, three runs are theoretically equivalent to one cord. Actuolly they contain somewhat more wood, since small pieces ran be packed more closely than larger ones. Wood a Profitable Farm Crop. Firewood ought to bring a better profit this year than ever before, on account of tho higher prices which aro likely to prevail. Wood Is a much less perishable crop thon many which the farmer raises. When properly piled, tho better kinds of wood will last from two to three years, though It steadily deteriorates after tho first year. To have the best beating value, as well as to reduce the cost of haul lug, wood should be thoroughly sea soned, which means alr-drylng It from six to eight months. When piled so as to get a good circulation of air, however, 50 per cent of tho molst'ire may he removed In threo months. Wood cut In October nnd November, therefore, may be burned tho latter part of tho winter. Formerly It was common practice to have wood cut by contract for from $1 to $1.50 per cord. With tho present high prlge of labor, however, the cost may exceed $2 a cord. Tho great dif ficulty In securing form labor Is dur ing the harvesting period. If farmers enn secure sulllclent labor to hnrvest their crops, they should bo able to keep enough men to cut nnd haul wood later In the season. In fact, tho profit able employment of ono or two extrn men on the farm during tho winter may help to solve labor difficulties dur ing tho rush season. The prices which cordwood will likely bring this year offer nn oppor tunity for the farmer to Improvo his woodland. Improving the woodland moans' Inking out tho poorer trees. In the past this has seldom heen prac ticable, for the Inferior wood was not marketable. With wood bringing only from $-1 to $5 a conl, thcro Is very little opportunity to secure n profit of oven $1 a cord. Rut with tho prices Indicated for the coming winter, thin nings become practicable over a wide range of country In tho vicinity of good markets. Life of a Fresh Egg.

Sure! High Heels Cause Corns But Who Cares Now 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 aro now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which tho 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 off 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 botUe 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 bouse for you. Adv. Finish of the Trip. "That actor is very pompous. Ho says ho has 'arrived.'
