half cord, do not know where the money
is to come from to purchase more when
that is gone, and hence it will be imposEi'
BILE for them topurchasc at wholesale. OF
course, several could club together and buy
Il carload, but man with the last stick in
his stove has not got the time to drive
round the county and hunt up dozen men
who will club with him to purchase car,
and then wait until the order is filled.
What is to be done? is the question. Our
advice is for farmers to burn hay. In
many portions of this State, hay is largely
used for fuel, and as there is an abundance
of grass in this section, we might as well
commence using it at once. as it is only
question of time when we will not even
have the privilege Of buying in six cord
lots. The large and steadily increasing de-
mand for fuel, lumber, ties, timber, &c, is
rapidly consuming and destroying our
forests, and sooner or later, we will have
either to burn coal or hay. Coal is expens'
i've, the high freight rates and our distance
from coal mines makes this fuel very cost
ly. For the present, we can get along by
having some party open yard and retail
the wood; this will raise the price of fuel,
as the dealer must have profit; but We
must keep warm and must have a fire, no
matter what the cost or expense. Hay is
cheap, and makes good fire in common
wood stove, and it will be we'll to try the
experiment, for more or less of it will have
to be used until such time as we can grow
trees on our farms, or get cheap fuel from
some other source.
