It is pointed out, however, that heat value is not the. only test of usefulness in fuel wood, and since 95 per cent of all wood used for fuel is consumed for do- mestic purposes, largely in farm houses, such factors as rapidity of burning and ease of lighting are important. Each section of the country has it's favored woods and these are said to be, in gen. eral, the right ones to use. Hick- ory, of the non-resinous woods, has the highest fuel value per unit volume of wood, and has other advantages. It burns even- ly, and, as housewives say, holds the heat. The oaks come next, followed by beech, birch and ma- pie. Pine has relatively low heat value per unit volume, but has other advantages. It ignites readily and gives out a quick hot flame, but one that soon dies down. This makes it favorite with rural housekeepers as a summer wood, because it is par ticularly adapted for hot days in the kitchen.
 The fuel qualities of chesnut adapt it particularly to work in brass foundries, where it gives just the required amount of heat and it is therefore in favor. Coastwise vessels in Florida pay twice as much for Florida but tonwood as for any other, be- cause it burns with an even heat and with a minimum amount of smoke and ash.
 The principal disadvantage of the resinous pines is their oily black smoke.
Williams news., 1915-01-21
THE FULL VALUE OF WOOD

The fuel value of two pounds of wood is roughly equivalent to that of one pound of coal. This is given as the result of certain calculations now being made in the forest laboratory, which show also about how many cords of certain kinds of wood are re- quired to obtain an amount of heat equal to that in a ton of coal.
 Certain kinds of wood, such as hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine, and cherry, have fairly high heat values, and only one cord of seasoned wood of these species is required to equal one ton of good coal.
 It takes cord and a half of shortleaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas fir, sycamore and soft maple to equal ton of coal, and two cords .of cedar, redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway pine, cypress, basswood, spruce and white pine.
 Equal weights of dry, non-res- inous woods, however, are said to have practically the same heat value regardless of species, and as consequence it can be stated as general proposition that the heavier the wood the more heat to the cord. Weight for weight, however, there is very little difference between various spe- cies; the average heat for. all that have been calculated is 4, ,60O calories, or heat units, per kilo- gram. A kilogram of resin will develop g, 400 heat units, or about twice the average for wood. As a consequence, resinous woods have a greater heat value per pound than nonresinous woods, and this increased value varies, of course, with the resin content.
 The available heat value of z cord of wood depends on many different factors. It has a rela
 ton not only to the amount o1 resin it contains, but to the amount of moisture present Furthermore, cords vary as tt the amount of solid wood the, contain, even when they are O. of the standard dimension ant
 occupy 128 cubic feet of space ) A certain proportion of this spac' t is made up of air spaces between the sticks, and this air spac 9 may be considerable in a corr }, made of twisted, crooked, an, t knotty sticks. Out of the 12 e cubic feet fair average of soli,
 wood is about 30 cubic feet.

million dollars worth of property 1n- vested in breweries and wholesale and retail establishments within the state are practically destroyed, compelling for his supply, paying express charges thereon which are sometimes more than the value of the goods.A.. These provisions were Incorporated in the law by the prohfbitionists as a bid for the votes of those who believed that thereby a supply was assured to them. These people would not have voted for such law had they properly under stood it's mischdevous results, or if they could have foreseen that the prohib1- tfonists, having won the first round are already preparing additional leg4s- 1ation to stop absolutely the shipment into so-caI1ed ssdry'' territory.
 In other states prohibition laws for bid even the dispensing of liquors on a physIcian's prescripti ption. and the sale of haviring extracts, because they con- tain alcohol; in yet other states search
 and seizure laws are advocated. Such. laws everywhere only encourage se- lcret and excessive drinking, and all ways mean an unWarranted interfer-
 ence with personal liberty, and pro-
 mote the secret sale as against the
 regulated and licensed traffic. What right has your neighbor to tell you what you should eat or drink? W11is- key, although stronger in itself than I 7N1Tl64 or D60fy IS 2aIWaySs taken III n1ucn

 quantity of the one offsets the greater
 strength of the other. The temperate
 use of either is not injurious. and is Inc more an economic waste than the
 use of candy, chewing gum or ice lcream sodas. Half billion dollars
 are invested in the liquor, brewing and allied industries, the destruction of which, without compensation, would lmean financial panic. Millions of men who would lose employment thereby, would crowd labor in other lines of I Industry and revoIutfonize the wage market. The U. s. government would lsbe depIivHds Of its present revenue of Eabout million dollars annual inter lnal revenue tax on liquors, which sum lwould have to be raised by other kinds Iof taxation. Municipal governments
 would lose license fees to the extent 1of some eight million dollars All
 without the slightest moral benefit.

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 All prohibition agitation is based on the pretext that men are too weak to control their appetites and that all temptation must be removed from them. Prohibition leaders proclaim that they do not seek to prohibit men from drinking, but carefully re frain from mentioning that prohibit ing the right to sell also removes the opportunity to purchase. The millions of people who enjoy a glass Of beer or wine or whiskey in noder- ation without detriment to them selves or others, are by prohfbitory laws deprived of the. right to purchase openly. The hundreds of thousands for whom such beverages are deemed essential by their physicians will be absolutely prevented from obtaining same except by stealth. It is an In suit to the manhood of the American people to be told by the sponsors of sians, they cannot be trusted to use such beverages in moderation
 Prohibition agitators, largely through fabulous and extravagant misrepre- sentabions under the guise of morahtys appeal sonly to- the emotional side Nof lcriticalIy claim that they do not desire to interfere with the individuals right to drink, they constantly assert that even the moderate use of liquors is detrimental and leads to excessive use There are in continental Europe, l. e., in France. Italy. Switzerland, Ger many, Belgium, etc, some 200 million people who have either wine or beer l or. spirits as a part of their daily bill of fare, and yet there is practically no
 drunkenness in those countries, and people live longer than the people of Ethe United States. it were true that
 the moderate use leads to excess, the people in these countries would all be drunkards now. The prohibition law
 adopted by the State of Washington provides that citizens of that state must purchase 1t from the outside, ob- Ieither one-half gallon of whiskey, one dozen quarts or two dozen pints o1 beer, but since all sale or manufacture lfwithin the state is prohibited, they must purcahse it from the outside, ob-
 taining first a permit for each ship | ment from the county auditor, which
 costs g centss The result is that many
