UsE or GREEN AND Day Wo0D.-LoADs
Loas-Soms years ago | was led 70 ascer-
tain the weight lost by wood IN drying or
seasoning. For this purpose | weighed
ateen rock mamie ard boob .ai.-- -
from both together, and dried the specimens
carefully in u warm oven, so as to be more
free from wafer than common wood rs
ordinarily s"as0ned. TIE loss was lrem
n e.frurth to One.tbird Of The weight. This
loss was water. II the wood Is burned
while green, this water must be- cvaporatcd
and thrown into tho atmosphere, and n
considerable part Of the Cal0ric or heat
produced by the combustion Of the wood
must be in this way carried oil, and be Of
no use in heating or warming.
70 ascertain the ~caloric lost, we must
find the weight Of winter In q cord ofw0od.
In his careful experiments on theGOmbns-
tion Of wood, Count Rumford proved that q
| cord ofdry beech weighs about 500 pounds
which must he three. fourfbs 0ftho weight Of
| the green beech; that is, a cord Of green
beech must weigh 1900 pounds, or, taking
the mean between 0ueihird and one fourth,
must be more than 4 900 pounds. In burning
a cord Of green beech, II least 1000
pounds 81 water must be eyaporated. and
1000 pounds ofwafer would fill three bar
. rets Of 80 aie gallons, or nearly two hogs.
heads ofG3 gallons wine measure. The
quantity ofcaIoric lost in this way may be
estimated in o rougil way by the quantity Of
wood consumed in cooperating three bar
rels or nearly two hogsheads o water,
The farmer will at a glance see that a
cord Of green wood must form a load Of
nearly Two tons in weight, and be will
probably conclude that his team has a much
greater load than is commonly supposed.
Timber three feet in diameter viii have a
cord Of solid wood in every eighteen feet,
and, if36 feet long, will weigh above five
tons.
II IL also obvioag that in drawing green
wood, the farmer must load and transport
three barrels ofwater in every cord, or 60
barrels in twenty cords, allowing that
wood as commonly seasoDed in summer,
i has lost only two.thirds Of its water. In
: drawing 100 cotds Of strrh dry wood there
E will be a saving, in loading and transporting
of2O0 barrels Of water. a barrel Of water
i, contains about five cubic feet, and weighs
3 more than 300 pounds.
In the combustion Of 20 cords Of green
, wood, so barrels Of water must be- evapor.
ated. Now. il takes six times as much
: heat to e~vaoorate n pound Of water, as 10
heat a Mound from 500 Of temperature 70 the
boiling point.
The economy in using dry wood IS well
: understood by many. These views give
! ADEQUATE reasons for it. Yet, il is TO be
= feared, that many a farmer does not use
: proper care in drying and housing bis W cd.
