Where There Is Danger of

Outside OF its use at night the Ian
tern may be used in other ways about
the farm.
Where a bedroom is situated at a
considerable distance from the
warmer rooms the lantern or lamp
placed in the room an hour or two be-
fore retiring will help to remove the
chill from the room.
When there is an unusually cold
night and there is danger OF the fruit
and vegetables freezing in the cellar,
light the lantern and leave it there
over night.
One must make sure that the Ian
tern is hung up securely or so placed
that It will not be upset, SO there will
be no danger of setting the house on
fire.
A vessel OF live Goals may be used
in the same manner. but they too
must be carefully arranged to prevent

thermometer outside the protected
area drops as low as 20 degrees for
many consecutive hours.
The burning OF different kinds OF
fuel in an orchard for the purpose of
raising the temperature has been en-
ployed a great many times. The sue
cess attending the work varies under
ferent conditions. When the drop
in temperature is accompanied by a
heavy windstorm and rain or sleet, II
is almost impossible to accomplish
anything In the way of orchard heat
ing. Fortunately, freezing weather
late in spring is usually accompanied
by rather still atmosphere and free
dom from rain or snow.
A great many kinds Of fuel have
been employed for orchard heating;
wood was probably the first, and 1t is
still used to some extent. Coal, coke,
and fuel oil may have special advan-
tages over others In some particular
place. In general, It may be said that
the fueloil method has given satisfac-
ton more frequently than all the
others combined.
The varieties and styles of heaters
offered by the trade are nearly as
numerous as the varieties of fuels.
Usually the more complicated in con-
struction the heater is, the less eff
cient 1t becomes in its practical work
in the orchard. Even a ten-pound lard
pail. holding more than gallon of
fuel oil, compares very favorabiy In
efficiency with great many of the
patented heaters, in some cases even
proving superior to them.
