SQUEEZING WATER FROM PEAT
One Of the Difficulties to Be Overcome
with Heat

The work of preparing peat for fuel
has attracted much attention in for
eien countries, as well as in America.
The old-fashioned way, drying in air,
takes several weeks, and sometimes
two or three months. At a meeting of
steel and iron workers in England
not long ago a paper on this SUBJ
ject was read by certain DIR. Eken-
berg. He said that for a long time 1t
had been impossible to squeeze the
water out by pressure. He added that
1t had been found the trouble was
caused by Shiny hydro
cellulose," he called it-produced by
the plants Of which peat consists. DR..
Ekenberg went on to say that tenn
perature Of 300 degrees Fahrenheit
would convert this substance into
something else and remove the difficult
ty.
When it has been ascertained that
1t was the presence Of hydrocellMose
which prevented the water being
pressed out, the doctor continued
there was comparatively little difficulty
in devising treatment by which the
separation Of water could be technical
ly effected. 1t was found that by in
creasing the amount of heat employed
to destroy the hydrocelIulose other
changes also took place. The percent
age of carbon in the peat gradually in
creased with the rise of temperature
and a portion Of the components COM
bined to form water. The difference
between this process and the ordinary
dry charring in retorts was the pres
ence of fluid water and such treatment
was described as wet carbonizing."
The decrease in weight during wet car
boniZation through the formation OF
water was not to be regarded as an
actual loss, as 1t implied concentra-
tion, and there was an increase of the
calorific value. A point Of great prac-
tical Importance was that young and
mature peat alike yielded product
of about the same heating value.
No light was thrown OH the cost OF
this or. the other processes,in in use,. nor
was there any indication which OF
|, them is the least expensive. Still, the
explanation given. of the cause of
the difficulty formerly experienced and
of the way it has been overcome is
certainly interesting

One year we had ten that averaged
twenty eggs in September, after

securing them in pen at night, for

They should be fed four times q
day, say at six, ten, two and six
o'clock, their feed consisting of bran
and meal, about equal parts, with
small amount of some good poultry
food occasionally. Above all things
they must have sand mixed with their
food, to aid in digestion; say about
handful to the quart of food.
Some finely cut grass, lettuce or on
ion tops. mixed with the feed is q
splendid addition.
When quite young they should not
be allowed too much water, unless 1t

put on the market In June; they were

be the leader in this work of beauti-
flying homes on the farm?
1t costs very little to lay out lawn,
plant trees and shrubs and have
few flowers and climbing vines by the
house, and the effect is very pleasing.
The enjoyment we get as we go along
Is worth more than the money we

house adds more comfort and solid
enjoyment than the same amount of
money laid out in handsome furniture

Breeding for size is assisted by

We can not say too much in favor
of the standard brands of prepared
chick feed. They save time, make
stronger chicks. and in every way are
more satisfactory than home-prepared
foods. Above all, they are certain in
results.

Poultry Profits.

The cost Of food required to pro-

chicken sells for twelve or twenty
cents a pound by the carcas, while
other meats sell at from four to eight
cents. This difference is further in

that poultry picks up good deal of
material that would otherwise go to

But there ia greater risk OF loss
In raising chickens and the cost of
labor per pound Of finished product is
more than with sheep or hogs. Then
you must credit eggs produced, which
complicates the problem until you get
a headache. The net returns, accord
ing to capital invested and cost OF
maintenance, however, leaves a
greater profit from poultry than any
other farm livestock II farmer
