SUMNER WOOD.
Work That Should he Done In Early Spring


IfNot Completed Before.
How is the summer supply of wood:
Is 1t prepared or being so? We ven
ture that nine-tenths of our farmers
who depend on wood for fuel have
made but little preparation for the
needed summer supply. This is one
of the tasks that is much better done
in spring than later for several rea-
sons. During the winter and early
spring months there is not the demand
on the time of the men and boys that
there is after planting begins. If the
farmer is dependent on his wife to
chop the wood from tough logs and
Knots with dull axe, it may not seem
important to him to get the summers
wood ready. But for such men we are
not writing, and we are sorry to say
there are many of them all through
the country. But the man who expects
to do his own wood chopping and has
allowed himself to be caught after
springs work has begun without any
wood ready for burning, sometimes
even with none at the door, knows
something of the draft on his time and
patience when the good wife comes to
the door just as he is starting for the
field with his team and says: ''John,
there is no wood to cook dinner with"
He must let the team stand for fifteen
minutes in the best part of the day
while he gets up good sweat whack-
ing up enough wood to last till night.
He is hot in body and mind before his
days work begins. Then the wood
that he has provided is not of
the best to begin with and
hi, L
will not burn well, consequently his
dinner will be delayed and poorly
cooked when it is ready. The wife
will be out of temper and he will
be cross and the dinner will not be
enjoyed.
How much better if the wood were
gotten ready during the leisure time of
the winter when wood chopping is good
exercise. 1t then has chance to dry
out and is worth almost as much again
as when loaded with moisture
Those who use wood for fuel fail to
realize the great difference in value be-
tween wet and dry wood.
All of the moisture in the wood must
be evaporated from it in the form of
steam, and to do this a large amount of
heat is needed, much more than is
needed to raise the same amount of WA
ter to the boiling temperature. All of
this heat used in vaporizing the water
in the wood is rendered latent or not
manifest and is of no use. To produce
this heat there must be sufficient
quantity of wood burned before there
can be any heat utilized for heating
the room or cooking. In other words
large proportion of wet wood is used
in drying itself before it can be of SER
vice. Now if we will give the sun and
air chance they will do this driving
for us at no cost whatever, only give
them little time. and then the wood
will be ready to give us its full value in
heat COtsnGn's Rural World.

FARMERS PARADISE.
Why Agriculturists Are in Reality the
Richest Men Earth.

why Agricnlturists Are in Reality the
Richest Men Earth.
A man on his own farm, well cult
waited and kept, well stocked, with good
modern dwellings and barns and out
buildings, master of both time and
acres, tied to no hours by the calls of
bells or whistles, free to come and go
according to the necessities of none but
himself. mostly in his own fields, per-
forming his healthful labors within sight
of the smoke of his own chimneys, is
surely as rich in the genuine sense of
that word as any man can be. He has
nothing to fear and nobody to envy.
OF one thing he is sure all his days, and
that is q sufficient living; and that is
what other men are never sure of with
out single pang of doubt or appre-
hension. There is his land; there is his
home; there is all the animal and mani
mate machinery of his establishments;
and for the rest he looks in profound
trust to the bounty of Heaven.
Instead of this unworthy and demor-
alizing anxiety to get rich, if the aver
age farmer, once being solidly estab-
lished, would resolve to enlarge and ex-
alt his life as it is, to make more out of
that, to enjoy as much as possible of
what there is to be enjoyed, to adorn
and beautifv his honle-that only para
disc on earth-w;ihin and without, he
would find all his daily tasks easier. even
to the extent of being delightful; he
would feel rich where now, with more
money, he feels all the time poor, and
he would rid himself of false tyrant
in the form of increasing parsimony
that holds his nose to the grindstone till
he is flung into his grave. If farmers
only knew it they would be the richest
men on earth-N K Herald

Speaking of newspaper advertisin,

Speaking of newspaper advertising,
an agent with thirty years experience,
says: Regular, steady-going business
houses thirty years ago felt something
like shame in advertising their goods
in the newspapers. This feeling has
pretty much worn away. All classes
have come more and more to believe
that the newspaper is the most imper-
sonal, self-respecting and effective way
of getting before the public with what
any one wants to say to it. - chicago
