and beautiful tree snakes (dendrophisl.

the birds and those frogs and lizards
which also dwell in trees. The grace

Professor c. L. Norton nc tn he tai.
en- as correct, it is hardly worth while
for farmer to buy any kind Of fuel
as he has abundance on his farm in
the shape of cornstalks.
Mr. Atkinson believes that a farm.
er can raise all the fuel he needs by
devoting one acre out Of every hund
red to a "fuel crop" Along these
lines the researches Of Professor Nor.
ton show that the Virginia cornstalli
has a heating power at least SO per
-snt. Of that furnished by good bi-
luminous coal To put it. in scientific
form. the cornstalks had heating
powers ranging from 5000 to 1900
British thermal units per pound, as
compared with 14,40O units per pound
in the case OF New River coal
Assuming, says Professor Norton,
that corn can he grown at the rate
of one stalk for each square foot 9f
ground. we should then raise some 40
600 stalks. each weighing when dry
one pound or a total Of 20 tons to the
acre. This 90 tons of cornstalks ane
leaves, not counting the cob or kern
els. is equivalent to about IA tons Of
good coal"
The fuel thus obtained is almost en-
tirely free from sulphur and phcs-
phorus; both Of which ingredients
are a drawback in ordinary coal, es-
pecially when used in blast furnaces.
A crop of sorghum is suggested by
Mr.. Atkinson as an excellent means #
"raisin" ones own fuel The ashes
from the sorghum. after the same has
been burned. might prove an excellent
fertilizer for a clover crop, thus i'm
proving the farm. A machine for com
pressing the stalks into briquettes
would add greatly to the feasibility of
the system The briquettes might, in
deed become valuable commercial
product. like the peat and coaldust
briquettes that have met with such
favor in Europe.
Mr. Atkinson has had some wild
vagaries; but this time he seems TO
have hit upon a practical and perhaps
very useful idea If the farmers of
this country-and especially of the
south, where corn is grown in abund-
ance. and sorghum is almost an auto
matte crop-may raise fourteen tons
Of coal or its equivalent per acre. the
discovery that such a thing is pcssi-
Bile is Of the highest Importance. The
theory is as yet in an experimental
stage, but we trust that Professor
Norton anc Mr. Atkinson between
them will reduce it to working
formula as soon as possible.
