CORN AS A FUEL.
Acre OF Corn Equals Over Two Tons Of Coal.

Corn has for long time been used
as fuel in the farming districts of the
Western sections of the United States,
and that, too, with satisfactory results.
In general way, it was recognized
there that when corn was abundant
and cheap and coal was expensive the
former made cheaper fuel than the
latter, although no scientific deter
mination of their relative efficiency
had been made until a short time ago,
when tests were made by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture OF the University
Of Nebraska. These showed, among
other things, that of corn, which, if
burned, will yield from aa,51a.ooo to
45,o24, 900 units, not counting the
heat that could be obtained from the
stalk. Since ton of good coal will
give up from 10000, 900 to 26,ooo,-
900 units, an acre of ground in each
year is capable of producing fuel
which is equal to from o.S7 or I.aS to
LA, or $50 tons of coal. This stalk
will probably increase this amount by
one-fourth or one-third.
The experience gained from boiler
tests with corn fuel made it appear
doubtful whether corn would be
practicable fuel for the generation of
power, unless it were burned in some
special furnace that would insure the
perfect combustion of the volatile
matter which forms SO large a per
centage Of the whole corn, and which
is driven off at comparatively low
heat. Some form of automatic stoker
would also be desirable, since the corn
burns rapidly and must be frequently
fired, making the work of the firemen
very arduous, and at the same time
tending to cause incomplete combus-
ton by the excess of cold air entering
through the fire door. Undoubtedly
corn may, at times, be cheap and
economical fuel for domestic use. 1t
is cleaner and more easily handled
than coal and contains but a very
small amount of ash. 1t burns rapid
ly with ar intense heat, and this is
apt to be destructive TO the cast,iron
Innings of the stove. Here, again
therefore, some special form of fire.
box, that will not be injured by the
heat, and that will utilize as much of
the heat as possible, should be used.

Be Careful of the Babies.

This is the most dangerous season
of the year for infants, and mothers
shoull be especially careful in the
care of the babies. In many of the
large. cities the board OF health is
sending out instructions to mothers
in regard to the proper method of
preparing food for the little ones.
The utmost care should be used in
seeing that the milk is pure aud sweet,
or proper substitutesS given in right
proportions.

Great Scheme.

~ Stroodsburg man whose garden
became play ground Tor his neigh
bors chickens, scattered grains of
corn through the garden with holes
i'll which he fastened strings with
tags fastened to the other end on
which was written, Keep your
chickens at home" When the
chickens swallowed the corn and
the string, the tag would stop out
side the bills. Owners had con-
siderable trouble catching their
fowls and removing the tags. The
remedy was very effective indeed.
