The Value Of Peat.

From the LONDON GlODe.
An object lesson in the utilization OF Peat
boys has for the last few years been car
ried on in northeastern Germany. Some
10 600 acres Of moorland. known as the
Friedeburg bogs. are being reclaimed and
the peat used for the supply OF electric
power. The land Is cultivated by settlers,
who at the same time cut peat and sell
It to the electrical supply company. with
works on an island in the middle OF the
bog. 1t is expected that this central power
station will supply electricity for light and
power for a region Of thirty miles radius.
Already 1t supplies electric light to EN-
den. Wilhelmshaven and several other
large towns and cities.
AS by-products Of the conversion Of the
energy Of the peat into electricity large
aantities Of ammonia and hydrogen sui
phide are made and sold. As part Of the
work thirty-eight miles Of new canals are
to be made, and in order to accomplish
this about ESQ acres Of moor have to be
stripped of their peat. Thus In the maxi
ing OF the canals $50. goo. 900 cubic feet Of
peat would be supplied for the central
bower station. And this. 1t is reckoned,
would keep 1t going at Its present rate
OF the production Of energy for sixty-six
years.

Heaters Raise Temperature.

There are about 100 heaters used to

they can be made to raise the temper
AZURE 10 to Is degrees. The success in
orchard heating was so pronounced in
some individual instances in Colorado
that Canyon City appointed a commit
tee to experiment with heaters and
about 80 per cent Of the orchards were
SO protected.
A member Of the committee writing
afterward told of tho experience. He
said that the spring of 1900 was unusu-
ally severe. and that but for the protec-
ton afforded by the orchard heaters
there would have been but little fruit
shipped from Colorado last year. AS 1t
was, however. there was q banner crop,
and he estimated that the orchard heat
ers saved about $4.OOO,OOO to the fruit
interests of the state.
In one big orchard where heaters were
used. and where q section Of q few acres
was left unprotected, there was q crop
Of 1900 boxes gathered from the pro-
tected area, but on the part not pro-
tected there were 100 ten-year-old trees
and from the whole lot not q box Of ap-
pies was gathered.
In the Pecos valley, in New Mexico.
there was one orchard where 1900 oil
heaters were used. The crop from this
thirty-acre tract was saved and sold for
$4,000. while in the rest of the valley
the crop was almost a total failure.

extremes In the social scale have their
special perils.

As doctors We appreciate that beyond
the ability to provide for all ones physi-
cal and mental needs. the acquisition of
wealth serves no useful purpose: while
the corresponding deprivation under which
the general public Is thus made to labor
has too profound an influence on the race
to permit US to countenance wealth-get-
ting as q pastime or an obsession. The
collection Of dollars has quite a different
effect upon the community than that of
the collection OF postage stamps, for ex-
ample. And when the man with super
abundance apparently regards money-get-

to the nation and race to take it away
in the first place.
Finally, while standing always for ma

preach the doctrine OF the simple life as
opposed to the useless artificialities which
constantly and unnecessarily tend to
consistently set his face against the fol-
lies and extravagances which weaken the

Considerable Success.
NOVEL HEATING DEVICES USED

Making weather to order always has
been one of the dreams of the farmer.
and the Department Of Agriculture tells
I'm a recent publication how this is now
being done. to some extent, in some of
the best-paying fruit orchards. 1t is rec
ognized wherever fruit Is raised for the
market that the crucial time for the crop
is in the late spring, after the trees have
budded and while there is still a chance
Of a late frost spelling the whole years
crop. This il true almost wherever fruit
is raised. especially in the middle belt Of
temperate states.
There have been a great number OF
schemes tried. and the department tells
of one extensive storm-breaking plant
that has been in operation for several
years in the vineyard region Of Austria.
Herr Steigle. a burgomaster. owned ex-
tensive vineyards that were persistently
visited by destructive hailstorms. He or
ganized the neighbors and small vineyard
owners into a mortar brigade. On six of
the surrounding hills, covering an area of
about two miles, he built stations hous-
ing ten mortars. These were loaded with
~ ounces of powder, and whenever there
was a sign Of an approaching storm the
mortar brigade repaired to the stations
and continued firing the mortars as rap
idly as possible until the storm clouds
were broken up and the storm driven
away. This system has now been in
operation some time, and is said to be
quite successful.

Smudge Method Tried.

Some Of the French vineyard owners
and fruit growers have found from OBJ
servation that the worst frost damage
comes on a clear bright morning, after
a frost. and that II, the orchard or
vineyard can be screened from the
suns rays for a time the damage Is
much less severe. They have, there
fore. tried the smudge method and
fire wet brush and straw and other
smoke producing fuel and protect their

one to five gallons Of oil and arranged
with covers, so that the fuel can be
allowed to burn with more or less in

they will burn out in two hours. The

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

With the primary election less than
m week distant there appears on the
surface but little Indication Of interest
in the outcome. If the local situation
is a criterion Of the balance of the state,
it will bother ever some of our republi-
can friends to get the thirty per cent
necessary to insure their nomination.
AS for the democrats, we fail to see
what possible interest they can have in
the republican Family row." mol why
they should take any part in it, The
democrats of the state and county have
placed III the field a list of candidates in
every case equal-and in many cases
far superior-to their republican OPP
ponents, and the democratic voters
should take pride in endorsing them at
the primary election on Wednesday next
week. Remember, that in order to get
the names of party candidates upon the
ballot this fall, 1t is necessary that they
receive a vote at the primary equal to
not less than 80 per cent of the number
of votes cast for the candidate for the
same Office at the last general election.
This provision was inserted IN the pri-
mary election law. by q republican
legislature, for the sole purpose of
embarrassing the minority party, and, if
possible, putting them out of business.
It was a shrewd political move, and will
be a winner, unless the democratic
voters get out to the primary and vote
their party ticket. Don't expect the
other fellow to do lt--doit yourself. The
attorney general has ruled that each
voter has the right to mark his ballot

IMPORTANT TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.

The Democratic State Committee has
issued a circular to precinct chairmen
calling their attention to the necessary
of getting out the democratic voters
the primary election to insure the nomi-
nation of candidates FIR public Offices.
The law requires that in order to nomi-
nate whele there is more than one can
didate for office, the candidate or
candidates must receive at least 30 per
cent Of the total vote cast for secretary
of state of the political party, he Or they
represented at the last general election.
1t Is therefore important that all demo-
Gratis attend the primary election to
to make it certain that cur ticket will
