PE.gT FOR FUEL.

There has @ren discovered about 10000
acres of peat in She State of New York a
lone. Many of the New England states
are also distinguished for having large de-
posits Of this formation, while II is calcu-
lated that large proportion of the West
will yield an immense quantity of the arti-
Gle i'm question.
In the state of Minnesota peat manu-
factory has been established, supplied with
all the necessary machinery for thoroughly
testing the question as to the value and a
Availability of peat for fuel, Thus far, the
test has been very satisfactory. one of the
railroads running from st. Paul has made
an experimental test as to its value for on
gino fuel, and found that it gave promise Of
answering very good purpose. The West
is, perhaps, more deeply interested in the
valuation of this question than we, ON
account of the great scarcity of wood that
prevails i'm many sections; although pres
ent prices for that article In New England,
indicate that there we have not an overplus
of timber land.
At any rate, when it is settled that Amer
lean peat can be generally employed, and
successfully, to the uses of engine or house,
keeping fires, it will be joyful day TO
those whose annual wood bill is something
to be dreaded; as one of the greatest rec-
concentrations of the former is its prospec-
tive eheapness.
