Rias,,o the Farm of Daisies.

The obnoxious appearance of dais-
les in the moving field is as strong
in the mind of the present.day farmer
who is progressive as it was in the
mind OF the farmer of a generation or
two ago. but less effort seems to be
made to rid fields of them. says the

pearance when in blossom the only
course TO pursue is to plow. following
a three or four years rotation. at the
end Of the rotation seeding 10 grass.
This will not entirely eradicate
daisies from badly infested field
but it will reduce them to such an
extent that they can be cleaned out
bv the digging method, This matter
is worthy OF careful attention by
those who take pride in their farms
In order To be successful in farming
or anv other business a person must
take rride in it. The farmer who
keeps his buildings in repair his
fence corners free from weeds and
his fields free from daisies is the
farmer who is making a financial sue

New Record in Timber Cut Established

ures disclose some interesting facts.
In 1907 $3.50 mills made returns,
and their production was over forty
billion feet of lumber. This is be-
lieved to include IS per cent. of the
actual cut. In 1906 22,39S mills re-
ported about thirty-seven and one-half
billion feet. Since. according to these
figures, nearly 20 per cent. more mills
reported last year than the year be-
fore, while the increase in production
was a little over seven per cent. 1t
might be thought that the amount
actually manufactured must have been
greater in the earlier year. This. how

Coal Briquet

There is hope for that briquet,
just as there is hope for many 9TH
er practices and processes which
will tend to conserve A merica' S ma
tural resources, because it will be
profitable to invoke them. Legis-
lation can help to certain extent;
Investigations and experiments will
tend to promote the adoption of
good practice, and public agitation
and education urging US to leave
something of the heritage which
we received to our children will
have an influence; but the one
thing which will control in these
matters is the question of profit.
Men and corporations are not likely
to be patriotic at the expense of
their pockets, but if they can be
shown how present waste can be
conserved at profit the situation
can be viewed with optimism and
confidence, for it will work itself
out. The coet of Driquet coal is at
present slightly greater than that
of lump coal, but briquets produce
a much hotter fire and less smoke
than lump coal. AS an instance,
in tests recently made on the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad 72,70O
pounds Of coal was consumed in

ISL, $50 pounds of briquets in max
ing 1896 car-miles, while the en-
CINE burning the briquets also
made sixty-o minutes better time.
The greatest development of
fuel-power out of waste material,
however, is to come through the
substitution of the gas engine for
the steam engine. In the coal tests
of the Geological Survey fuel test
ing plant two to three times as
much energy has been extracted
from coal used with gas engine
as under steam boiler, and, fur
thermore, the heretofore almost
worthless lowgrade soft Goals and
lignites have been found highly
efficient as gas producers. This
discovery at one stroke in effect en-
larges our ceal-felds by several
hundred million acres.
Eventually, then, we shall see
coal waste and low grade coal made
into briquets, and gas producer
plants erected at the mines, their
energy converted into electrity and
transmitted 100 and even 200 miles.
