The Rockville Milling Co.,, Gardner Bros., are sending out to their friends and patrons a very handsome calendar for 1903.
 A N. Y. state paper recently gave this opportune suggestion: A wood dealer said to day people should burn hard wood in connection with coal. 1t would, he argued, save 80 per cent. on the coal. In the morning the fires are low, and from two and half to three and one-half hours are required to warm the house properly. In these three hours more coal Is con- sumed than during the remainder of the whole day. A few sticks of wood in fur mace or stove would, it was said, heat the house in twenty minutes, so that little coal could be thrown on, the furnace or stove drafts closed and the house would remain comfortable for the remainder of the day. With two cords of wood, the d aler declared, he knew of people who had saved from $40 to $50 a winter in coal bills.
