Unreasonable Fuel.

A few calculations relative TO the oomra-
ratiyc value OF green and seasoned wood for
fuel, may serve to remind those interested
of the importance Of attention to the sub
jct.
Everybody knows that green wood is poor
stuff 10 kindlc fire, though some contend
that it will keep up as well as seasoned, IL
applied constantly, not suffering the heat to
60 down. That is il YOU have god fire
to season it in, You can burn green wood as
we'll as dry. Ia, to the calculations
\ green stick Of wood weighing 100 lbs,
when seasoned weighs only &C lbs, or such
/, about the average Of wool commonly VS.
ed for fuel. In seasoned stick you have
all the wood-all that will support combus-
tion-you have only got rid of % pounds Of
water.
Now, water viii not burn, AMI il present
in fuel, it ha, to be converted into steam at
the expense Of that fuel, and it will take five
time. :, much heat To make steam II water,
as i, will simply to bring it to = boiling
point. Here i, .c1u at once, the poor eco.
upmy of burning grrcn wood.
We have shown that about tw'.thirls OF
the weight or ercrn wood is watrr-now,
how many barrel. Of water i, tlcr, in
cord Of wood? There are los cubic fcoi in
a cord, which allowing ,wo.GNhs Tor ucan,
space batwecn the sticks, leaves = fons Of
s,lil wool, one third or which is water
equal o. over six barrels Of vatrr in every
carl ur crccn wood. The heat rriuircl to
caporatc thi, water, would lrins thirty
larrcl, to thr boiling point And this j.
ur, the only czp'ns'. II th, E1,l wa, cut,
properly piled anil seasoned in uo woods,
thr c1.t OF drawing il would hn nearly one
tlirl les. Any way YOU can look at it,
TIC economy of burning grecn wood is more
thin Questionable.

0,1i j. almost synonymous tern. Hence
among things 20 b, considered in the choice
or farm. we shall say
|. Tho farm should h. pleasantly and
conveniently situated a, o. home. The health,
comf6r, and happiness Of tho~ who are to
occupy 1t, arr of prime imr'rAnoe--.o ey-
cry .,cial anl physical irluenS !hich bear
upon them, should have due weight in de-

may h., il the locality Is an unbal,hy ou',
II cannot make pleasant homo. II fertile
and hoalthy, bat surrounded hy a moral
miasma-or with f,w social rriyilrsrs anl
adyantncrs-it cannot BE- pleasant home.
.. The farm should b, in agreement with
the means and circumstances VI tho owner.
\ farmer needs capital us well a. land, In
order u operate rrofuhly. Tho great cr-
Tor Of American huslanlry +. that farms
are, almos, universally, to' large Cor the
labor and capital at the command NJ thos'
who carry them on. Hence arises tram
or evil. which W. have often soughtto bring
before our readers.
2. The farm should b, .ul,cl TO the pro-
duets proposrd-and ,hc'o should conform
with the demands Of the market, and tho
taste aud experience of the owner. Some
farm. are best calculated ior grain growing,
Others for the dairy, Others still for stock
and wool-growing. Innany localities these
NAV be profmhly combined, and land ''cur.
el which shall be appropriated to such a
course Of huslanlry. The recent great m.
crease ia thc facilities Of transportation, in
ducncc, a large extent OF country, and ma
nv places. heretofore Of small value on ac.
count or distance from market, have now be-
come desirable for farming purPJsr-. Still,
II is w.rthy to be thought Of, whether it
will cost ten cents or one hundred 10 bring
n product before the consumer, and the val.
ue Of a farm will depend materially upon
the expense Of iuter-communication. The
domestic demand is also Of Importance, aud
always exists, varying with locality. The
taste and experience Of the farmer should Of
course influence his choicc--hc will be
most successful who is most hvorably and
agrcclbly situated, and who best knows
how to employ the advantascs at his com.
maud.
Other influences exist and should be con-
.iierd--thcse we have rather hinted at than
discussed we prefer TO leave the latter to
