LITTLE PEAT FUEL IN USE
United States Is Rich in the Material
But 1t Does Not Seem to Be
in Demand.

While the United States is the rich
est country in the world in deposits of
peat, little active work is being done
in mining or digging it, and SO far as
is known very few of the peat fuel
plants established have gone beyond
the experimental stage, and many OF
them have never been equipped with
essential machinery. Reports from all
known peat fuel plans in the United
States, according to Charles A. Davis
in his Mineral Resources in 1912, show
that with one exception they were idle
during the summer that year.
The only plant reporting productions
made are dried cylindrical peat blocks
which, when thoroughly dry, were
about six inches long and two inches
in diameter, dense and hard and stood
handling well. The output of peat fuel
was reported as about 1900 tons, val
ued at $4,450. All of this peat was
sold
The production of peat for fertilizer
was, so far as reported in 1912, 41,0S0
short tons, of which about 5000 tons
was reported as sold air dried, that is,
not dried by artificial heat. The value
of this material at the selling prices
reported was 1856. 522.-Coal Age.

FEEDING BIRDS IN WINTER
Kindly Act to Set "Dinner Table" for
the Wild Feathered Song
sters.

How best to feed the birds is al
most an art in itself A winter lunch
counter spread with suet, nuts, hemp
seed, meat and crumbs will attract
nuthatches, chickadees, downy and
hairy woodpeckers, creepers, bluejays,
etc. Canary seed. buckwheat, oats
and hay chaff scattered on the
ground beneath will provide an ire
sistible banquet for other feathered
boarders. A feeding place of this sort
can be arranged for convenient obser-
walton from a window and afford no
end of diversion and instruction. But
whether close to home or far afield,
the great secret of success in such
work is regularity. Begin to put the
food out early in November, and let
the birds get to know that they are
always sure to find supply of dain-
ties in a certain spot, and the news
will soon spread among them. In win
try weather, especially, it is amazing
what can be accomplished by feeding
the birds regularly, and at least the
following birds have been induced to
feed from the human hand: Chicka-
dee, white breasted nuthatch. red
breasted nuthatch, brown creeper,
Carolina wren, cardinal, evening gros-
beak, tufted titmouse. Canada jay,
Florida jay, Oregon jay, and redpoll.
Even in spring untiring patience has
resulted in the qualification of this SUI
preme ambition of the bird lover, and
bluebird. robin, catbird, brown thrash
er and yellow throated vireo have
been known to feed from the hand Of
a trusted friend even with plenty of
food all around.-F'rom Boy Scouts Of

Lias HIahest peath Rate.

The unenviable record of possess
ing what Is probably the highest
death rate of any city in the world
is stated in the annual report of the
British vice consul for Bolivia, Mr.
G. 7. Maclean, to belong to Cocha-
banda, where there was a mortality
of 70 per 1000 last year This ex-
IRENE mortality is said to be due not
so much to climatic or other natural
causes as to the lack of knowledge
among the lower classes of the most
elementary rules of hygiene. a fact
which. is corroborated by the percent
age of infant mortality, about 40 per
cent. of the deaths being children un-

Shattering of German Bust.
ness Opens Territory for
Other Nations
LOOKING TO THE U. S
Russian Merchants Are Anxious to
Establish Trade Relations With
American Manufacturers. as They
Need Goods.
(By Jonathan Winfield.

Washington, Dec. 26.-The shatter-
ing of the great German trade with
Russia has ! opened up a large and
growing field for the manufacturers
and merchants of other nations and
America consular agents in that
country are calling attention to the
possibilities Off developing market
fer American goods in the cazar's
domain. As a result of the war.
Russia is not only obliged to seek
new sources from whichto draw it's
imports, but lis also called upon 20
raadjust it's centers of distribution
and its channels of trade. A large
share of it's import trade will remain
permanently in the hands of those
who can introduce Immediately, arti-
Giles hitherto furnished by the nations
of central Europe. The large number
OF German and Austrian business
houses and banks established in
Russia have practically ceased opera

The German commercial organiza-
tons in Russia We're so firmly esta-
tiished and so closely connected with
hranches scattered over the entire
country that they were in position
t" substitute goods furnished by
other countries by German products
of "a similar type. The great bulk of
tie trade in the Caucaus district was
held, by German concerns until the
outbreak of the war and is now in a
state of complete disorganization.
Russian merchants are therefore left
il a position where they are Obliged
to buy their goods in other markets
and to establish direct connections
with manufacturers or induce them to
establish agencies in principal dis
IT. buting centers. like Petro2rad.
Moscow, Odessa and Riga Dealers at
these places have applied to American
counsels for the names and addresses
of the manufacturers of American
goods. such as motors. pumps, auto
mobiles. motor cycles, hardware. cleo
tr,cal goods. and mechanical appll-
arces of all kinds.
American Machinery Wanted.
Consular agents point out that the
time is particularly favorable for the
ir production of automobiles, motor
trucks and other vehicles, as practi-
cslly all those in the country have
been reuuisitioned for military par-
M SEES. AS soon as the danger Of
further acquisitions has passed. the
demand for all classes OF motor
vehicles will be large. Motor trucks
were commonly used in the oil fields,

passenger traffic and for general traf-

RANKS CAN AID
SMALL FARMERS
May Assemble 20 Bales OF
Cotton and Secure Loans
From Million Pool.

Little Rock, Dec. 26.-"It would be
a disgrace if the fund loses fone cent
on it's business in Arkansas" declares
the Arkansas committee that has In
charge the administration of the $780,
600 900 loan to cotton growers. Blanks
are being circulated throughout the
state to be used by prospective DOL
rowers. Mnorhead Wright OF lAttle
Rock is general chairman OF the Ar
kansas committee, and there are local
committees at Fort Smith, Hope. Mag

gott.
The state cotton loan fund commit
tee at Little Rock, or any OF the local
committees will furnish all eXplana-
lions upon request.
Bankers and cotton owners should
carefully consider the seasons ahead
spring, summer, fall and winter-and
be sure that their community will not
|need the money after it is too late to-
apply. The minimum loan has been
reduced to $500 on twenty bales, for
the accommodation CT the smaller bor-
rover. Under the original plan no
loan would be made on less than 100
bales. and this caused a great deal of
dissatisfaction.
"The creation of this fund is tok-
en- of a better business understanding
and perhaps higher personal esteem
between the cotton producer and those
banks that have heretofore had closer
relations with the spinner and the
speculator. No one connected with the
fund except the clerical force receives
any compensation. That is enough
evidence of good will. Were SO many
business men ever connected with a
bic cotton movement before without
pay?
THE fund undertakes to stand by
| it's loans until Feb. 1, 1916, through
thick and thin The loan upon 500
pound bale of middling cotton has
been fixed at $50. One extra bale is
pledged with every four bales borrow
ed upon to guarantee the payment or
the debt and the completion or the
contract Thus in borrow $50 each on
| twenty bales, the borrower puts 20
bales in the warehouse with loan OF
5000. No deduction is made from this
lean except 80 cents per bale, which
goes into guarantee fund to pay the
clerical and technical expenses of the
fund, and to pay any losses that might
arise through lawsuits or otherwise.
Interest will be payable quarterly at
the rate of six per cent per annum
All loans are made through local
| banks.
at is matter of sincere regret to
V that the small farmer cannot be
dealt with direct. The protection OF
the little equity is just as important
the committee as the, protection OF
he larger farmer. There is no OBJ
| lection to the bankers assembling diff
| ferent mems cotton to make one lot
and one loan"
No Applications Here.
Chairman J. e. Boyce of the local
cotton loan pool committee stated
yesterday afternoon that no 'applica-,
tons for loans from the pool had
been made here.
