1t has been demonstrated in vaca
Valley that peach stones will make as
good a fire for nou ehold purposes as the
best kind of coal In the market, says the
Vallejo (Cal.) Chronicle. The fruit
growers, instead OF, as heretofore, throw
ing the pits away, dispose of the stones
at the present time at the rate OF e. a
ton. A sack of the stones will weigh
about eighty pounds, aud will last as
long as an equal number OF pounds OF
coal, and give greater intensity of heat.
AT many OF the orchards In the valley
may be seen great stacks OF peach and
apricot stones which will eventually find
their way to San Francisco and other
places to be used for fuel. The apricot
stones do mot burn as readily MS the
peach, and viii not command as gooi a
price. TIE fruit rlisers will undoubtedly
be pleased to learn that they now have
another source of revenue open to them.
A large number OF peaches are dried dur
ing the summer season for shipment. AS
soon as the owners find that they have
market for the tones, a greater number
Of pounds Will be tried than heretofore
