PEAT FOR FUEL USES.
New Swedish Method Of Utilizing Ma
terial In Furnaces.

New Swedish Method Of Utilizing Ma.
teriai In Furnaces.
Different methods of employing peat
for fuel or power are used ut present,
one of these being to fire the furnace
with dried peat briquettes, and another
is to distill the peat in the same way
as for oal so AS t. produce gas. The
gas is then used directly in gas engines
of suitable construction.
According to Il new Swedish method.
the dried peat is first brought to a fine
powder and is then blown into the fur
mace by an air fan. The furnace has
been previously heated. and waste heat
can be utilized here. The firing Is then
kept up by the peat delivered in this
way. 1t is claimed that fifteen parts
of peat give the same heat as ten parts
of coal. During the firing it Is easy to
regulate the heat to the right amount
by adjusting the air feed as we'll as
the powder supply. Inasmuch as no
more fuel is burned than is needed and
the regulation can be made very quick
~. good economy is secured.-Scientiic

The hose has a valve connection and

rear wheels. During the suction stroke
of the motor piston the intiator piston
is drawn down and draws u charge Of
fresh air into the outer shell through a
group of holes at the top. Some air
also enters the inner chamber through

on down through a one way valve in
the lower end of the piunger and
thence enters the motor cylinder. This
air acts as a primary compressor to
operate the pump. the charging Of the
motor cylinder being necessary because
the three firing cylinders are operated
with the throttle nearly closed, reduc-
ing the power Of the primary compress

Method For Determining the Volume %
Anv Straann.

Method For Determining the Volume o.
Any Stream.
To ascertain the velocity Of the
stream choose a place where the chan
mel Is straight for 100 to 200 feet and
has a nearly constant width and depth:
lay OF on the bank q line fifty OF 100
feet in length, marking each end; then
allow small chips to float down the
stream, by one Of the methods de-
scribed below, noting the time required
for these to traverse the distance laid
OF on the bank. The surface velocity
in feet per second is obtained by divid.
ing the distance in feet passed W by
the iioat by the time in seconds it takes
tine aoat to travel this distance. The
average Of several such determinations
Will give the. mean surface velocity Of
the stre&m. This result multiplied by
the coeticient O.SO gives very nearly
the mean velocity Of the stream.
To obtain the area Of the sec.
don of the stream, stretch a tape from
shore to shore and take the depth Of
the stream at intervals of two to five
f,et. The average Of these depths may
be assumed as the mean depth of the
stream. This average multiplied by the
total width will give the area Of the
cross section Of the stream In square
feet.
The discharge is found by multiply
ing this cross section area by the mean
velocity, as obtained by the float meas
ureMents. the result giving the dis
charge In second feet, or. in other
words, the number of cubic feet aow-
ing past the point of measurement
each second.
In determining the velocity for small
streams and when only approximate
| results are desired the float Is placed In
the center of the stream only. For
larger streams and when greater accu-
racy is desired a tape is stretched
across the stream and the distance be-
| tween the banks is divided into a num-
Der of equal spaces or sections. Floats
are then allowed to drift down the
stream as near as possible in the cen
ter Of each of these spaces. the same
number Of floats being used for each
section. The mean surface velocity Is
then assumed to he the meal of the
surface velOcities obtained for the sev-
eral sections. For each float the dis
lance Of Its starting point from the
right bank is recorded as Indicated

The Creamery.
An Institution That Every Farm.
or Within Range Should
PatrOniZe.

The books of the Grant County
Creamery during the past year
show an increase of about $1,000
in sales during the past year,
and the patronage of the institu-
ton by the farmers is growing.
This is a good sign, as there is
nothing that will tend to the per-
manent prosperity of this coun-
try more than a prosperous and
well patronized creamery. Just
as certainly as farmers turn
their attention to this branch of
agriculture will their farms in
crease in value and general pros
perity come to the community.
The Milbank creamery is cap,
able of doing a $50, 900 business,
instead of less than half of that
amount, and if it were doing the
larger business the operating ex-
penses would be lower proper
tlonately, and a niger price paid
for cream.
There are numbers of farmers
who are making dairy butter
who would not only benefit them
selves but also the community by
taking their cream to the cream
cry and thus help establish pros.
porous conditions in their own
vicinity. BY taking their cream
or milk to the creamery they
would get cash for their product
instead of having to take store
trade. The local merchants
would also benefit by this sys-
tenn, as under present conditions
they feel compelled to buy the
farmers butter, good, bad and
Indifferent, and they assert they
average a loss on all they buy
The merchants all declare they
would prefer not to handle the
dairy butter if the farmers
would patronize the creamery.
The dairy business and the
necessary diversification of crops
which follow it will be
of wonderful benefit to Milbank
and Grant county, and one of the
good signs is that numbers of
farmers are becoming interested
in it, and corn and other crops
are taking a larger share of the
ground each year from the small
grain crops.

With the experience of last
year the farmers who relied en-

suffered more or less failure,
while those who were lucky
enough to have in a good acreage
of corn were enabled to harvest

ers are planning for a bigger
corn acreage this year than they
have ever put in before. This is
a good sign and the increased
interest that is being taken in

Gates that farming is

ity.
