PRESSURE
OF GAS.
Is Giving Out In The Knox
County Field
According To Statement OF
Ohio Fuel Co.
In A Reply To A Suit For
Injunction
Which Was Filed In United
States Court
Other Items OF Interest From
Temple Of Justice

That the supply of natural gas
which is furnished to more than 200,-
900 consumers in 100 cities and viii
lagos of Ohio by the Ohio Fuel Supply
Co. is fast giving out, is the state
ment in petition filed by the attor-
neys of that company in United States
district court Friday morning, says
the Columbus Dispatch.
So low has the pressure become
from what it originally was when the
fields in Knox, Ashland and Richland
counties were first discovered, that
compressors have been installed to
get force enough back of the gas that
it can be served in the homes of the
thousands of subscribers.
The statement Of the condition of
this fertile gas field came in the an
swer to the injunction suit filed sew
eral weeks ago by the Upham Gas Co.
This company declared that the Ohio
Fuel Co. was using powerful pressure
pumps in the gas fields where they
also had holdings in the Knox county
field, and that because of the use of
these powerful pressure pumps, the
gas supply of the plaintiffs was being
seriously hampered, and 1t was prac-
tically impossible for them to get
enough to supply the demands.
Mouy tho Ohio Lr,,al ~ dooIoca. III n .
it is not the powerful pumps which
they have installed at Homer and 9TH
er points, but that. the weak gas is
caused by the lack of pressure and of
gas. The natural life of these gas
wells, according to the petition filed
Friday morning is only eight years,
and the Knox county field has been
operated for even longer period
than that. 1t is but natural to expect
that the great supply will soon give
out entirely, and other fields will have
to be called upon for a part of their
supply.
The Ohio company furnishes natur-
al gas to Cleveland, Akron, Canton
and dozens of other cities throughout
northeastern and central Ohio.
They declare their strong pressure
pumps were not installed until it was
found necessary to get the supply of
gas to some of these towns which are
many miles from the field and the
wells themselves. "Unless this was
done" the petition declares, "the sup
ply of gas, of necessity because of
lack of it's own natural force, could
only be furnished to those customers
who live within radius of few
miles"
The defendant declares that eight
other power stations are maintained
from the same field, and that none of
these were installed until the gas
pressure became so low that it could
not be gotten to the far away custom
ers without using these powerful COM
pressors,

BY Cockspur:.

How much glass shall Da put in a
coop? Too much glass will make a
coop very warm In the day time. and
at night it will give off the heat. For
many years this puzzled poultrymc1.
Some had nearly all the front in glass,
while others used very small windows.
The interchange Of experience and the
results OF scientific observation have
brought out the fact that the proper
amount of heat is maintained by al
lowing one square foot Of window to
each sixteen feet of floor space. There
fore, in a coop 6xS the required
amount of glass would be three square
feet, that is, a three by one.
No window should be made perma-
nent. 1t should he hinged so that
in the summer time It can be pulled
upward toward the ceiling or else ar
ranged SO that 1t will slide inside the
coop. Outside a one-inch mesh wire
should be carefully tackled on. 1t
would be better to put this wire on q
frame and hinge the frame to the
coop, in order that when sliding win.
dows are used the wire frame can be
pulled outward and the windows
washed. Where the window Ii drawn
upward on hinges the matter OF how
the wire is put on does not matter.
The reason for the wire. by the way.
is to prevent the incoming Of SPAR

chickens grain if allowed to do so.
With a window such as described
a curtain on a frame can also be used
with benefit in the winter and the
summer. But when a curtain Is used
to the window the sliding win
dow is hest. Then the curtain can. be
hooked up to the ceiling at any time.
With these three in place the poultry
man is fixed for all kinds of weather,
the cold and the hot. For in the Sc
we're winter weather, the curtain can
be lowered over the glass window at
night to keep in the heat, and in the
very warm weather, when the sun IL
beating down its burning rays, the
window q De removed from the
opening in the day time and the cur

erately cool. In the warm weather
both window and curtain are removed
from the opening.
Unbleached muslin Is probably the
best suited Tor the curtain. The cur
tain must not be neglected by any
means. Dirt gathers. on 1t quickly,
and 1t should be cleaned regularly,
because II the dirt be allowed to gath.
er air cannot get through the muslin.
Do not think from that that it would
be a good idea to allow the, dirt to
