lures As the saw was cutting
through a large log it came across
a spike that was imbedded in the
wood, and as the band was travelling
at immense speed when it snapped.

cred with asbestos paper to protect
the pipes and to save heat. A damp
er in every pipe and also in the smoke
f1ue will aid materially in controlling
and distributing heat. Chimney fues
should be 10 by 10 inches or larger.
Hot Water.
A hot-water system is only slight
elaboration of the principle. Enlarge
the base to fnclOse the fire, and re
duce the size of the tube or pipe be-
tween the fire and the rooms to be
heated. and make that part of the
circuit in the rooms large, to give
enough radiating surface. The main
body, cast in sections for convenience
in handling, is often made quite ir-
regular, in order to expose more sur
face to the fire. Water is conducted
through a large pipe, from which
smaller pipes connect with one end
of the radiator in each room. The
other end Of the radiator is con-
nected to a large return pipe, which
enters the heater at the CRATE level.
This allows for a more rapid circula-
ton than If a single pipe were used
for each radiator.
Allowance must be made for the
expansion of the water. This is done
by placing an open tank in the attic,
or in a second-fioor room above the
top of the highest radiator, and con-
Meeting with the system at some con-
venient point. The system may be
filed through this tank if there is no
pressure system at hand.
This is called the ODen-tank hot
water system. If the tank were
capped tight, and little or no water
reached the tank, there would be q
! quantity of air confined which would
be compressed, because the water in
the heater, pipes and radiators ex-
pands when heated. This is the
closed tank or semisteam system.
The advantage is a higher tempera-
ture Of the water before the boiling
point is reached. The higher tenn
perature will allow of smaller pipes
and smaller radiators, and the prac-
tice is to install q smaller heater
also. The cost of installation will
| consequently be less.
Objections to this system are: The
need of safety devices, which may
fail, and harder firing, which requires
more fuel
Vapor or Vacuum System.
The vapor or vacuum system is a
comparatively recent development. It
is the opposite in principle of the
closed-tank hot-water system as the
air is exhausted from the pipes and
radiators and water stands in the

stroy the vacuum and it will become
steam system pure and simple.
Choosing Fuel.
For hard coal deep firebox giEes
best results Hard coal burns slowly
and requires less air than soft coal
or wood, and the deep fire serves as
a check on the air. Soft coal and
wood burn best in a thin layer over
larger surface, and of course will re-
Quire more frequent firing. All-round
steam and hOt-water boilers are made
for hard coal. A sectional boiler may
be heightened by adding sections and
the size of the fireboX be thereby in
! creased.
In round hot-water boilers, two
styles are offered; one with a fat
top frebox, and one with water arms.
The one with the fiat top is much
more easily cleaned than the one hav-
ing water arms, and the heating coil
| is much more easily installed. The
latter style is intended to give more
heating surface in the firebO1, but
this feature is more than offset by
the advantages mentioned.
In placing any of these heaters the

| Radiators.
| The radiators are OF cast or sheet
iron, made up in sections, which may
be placed together to give the re-
| quired amount of radiating surface.
The standard size is 80 inches high,
three-column, and contains square
feet of radiation per section. A four
column 3S-inch radiator contains s
square feet of radiating surface. They
sell for IS to 20 cents a square foot.
| Each radiator has a valve at one end
to cut off the water. In this valve is
a pinhole, through which circulation

ing when the radiation is cut off. AT

FOR SUCCESS WITH PIGEONS
Variety Of Good, Hard Grains Is Essen
tia1-Not Advisable to Feed Birds
or Wet Ground.

A variety of good. hard grains is
essential to success with pigeons, and
grains which are in poor condition
should not be fed. Old grains which
are hard are better than new soft
squads. Red wheat is considered bet
ter than white wheat by many pigeon
breeders. Good wheat screenings are
often fed with success, as they usu-
ally contain a variety Of seeds. Vari-
Gus stimulating seeds, such as lentils
and vetch, are sometimes fed as
tonic to breeding birds during the mott
ing period.
The grain may be fed on the floor
Of the pen, in troughs, or kept before
tie birds in hopperS. 1t is not gen
orally considered advisable to feed the
grain on the ground, especially on
heavy soil where it may get wet and
mOIdy. Unless the floor is kept clean
it is better to feed the grain in troughs
than on the floor The troughs should
be made so that the pigeons Will not
roost on them and soil the feed with
their drOppings-
Hoppers are used with good success
but may attract rats in some pigeon
houses. They should be fitted with
wires or nails about two inches apart
so that the pigeons cannot waste the
feed by throwing it out onto the floor.
If the grain is not fed in hoppers the
pigeons should be fed twice daily, in
the morning and in the afternoon, at
regular hours, giving from one and
One-haIf TO two quarts of grain at each
meal to 20 pairs of pigeons and add
ing an extra pint If the pigeons have
many squads. The feeder must regu-
late the quantity of grain according to
the appetite of the birds, giving them
all they will clean up in one to two
hours

ventilation scheme in mild or still
weather, it will be found necessary to
have return air duct a fireplace is
an ideal fOul-air escape.
Such an escape will add from SD
to $50 to the cost of a chimney, for
it must have an independent flue
Three fiash-light pictures were
taken in adjoining rooms, one II by
II feet and the other u by % feet
The rooms were almost filed with
smoke. The outside temperature was
a little below zero, so a door could not
be left open very long. Six pounds of
newspapers were burned in the fire
place ito create a draft. In half an
hour the smoke was cleared from the
rooms, and one door had been open
for about five minutes. There was no
percepible change in temperature.
Fireplace.
In a section where wood is plenti-
full, the comfort and satisfaction of
an open fire should not be overlooked.
In early spring and late fall d few
sticks of wood on d CRATE fire will
afford more cheer than double the
amount in a heater.
If provided Tor at the time of build
ing the expense need not exceed $50.
This will provide facing, mantle,
hearth, damper and ash traps, to-
gether with the added fiue in the
chimney. The f1ue should be large.
A f1ue s by inches is usually too
small. a fireplace should be at least
SO inches wide. IS inches high, and Is
inches deep, or as near these dimen-
sions as the commercial facing and
lining materials will make. CoIored
brick with a rough face, make a most
satisfactory facing, and may be placed
at the time the chimney is built. The
lining should, of course, be OF fire
brick. a hearth is easily built, using
smooth hard brick or tile.
The essentials of a satisfactory fire
place are: ID a large flue; (2) a
smooth throat set well to the front !;
| 90 a thin lip. A smoking fireplace
can usually be remedied by adding a
thin Hp-member.
Firing.
Economical stocking is an art. Hard
coal is popular because the average
person does not care to fire every
half hour. However, a little admix-
ture of brains with the coal will pay,
even with hard coal. In general, add
as small an amount of coal as possible
at each firing, and fire often. Do not
entirely cover the bed Of live Goals.
but leave a small hole, where sufficient

heat can get through to fire the gases
as they distin off from the new coal,
otherwise they are lost up the chin
ney. These gases burn clear and hot,
and form a large part-of the coal.
Keep the CRATES clean and clear OF
clinkers. Use a slice-bar, and pre-
vent a tendency to cake at the bot
tom OF the fire.
Three instances OF firing came to
notice recently, In houses OF nearly
the same size. The cost in one case
was SAT; in another, $36; and in the
third, SIG. All the houses were warm
and comfortable at all times. In one
the coal was fired, in the other two
il was dumped in.

OLD HENS AREUNPRoFITABLE
Aged Fowls Cause Low Average In Egg
Production-Three Years Is
Limit of Usefulness.

Old hens are the cause Of low aver
ages in reproduction. The puIlets
work regularly but the old hens lay
about a dozen eggs and rest the re-
mainder Of the year.
Unless you are raising a particular
stock Of chickens Of which you have
only a few hens, you cannot afford
to keep the old hens as layers. a hen
is not profitable after her third sum-
mer as a layer. Selling the old hens
and using the incubator for Matching
is the best plan for the small poultry
man.
