Overstocked Coal Bins
(Biddeford Journan

NblQu61OTQ JOurndl)
Charles A. Milliken Of Augusta is not
the only man in Maine who has more
coal in his cellar than he needs. but as
far as heard from he is the only per-
son who has offered to divide with the
more unfortunate people on a.50-50 ba-
sis. There are a few cellers in Bidde-
ford and Saco which are overstocked
The local fuel committee has a list of
these and the list is gradually extend
ing. One or two forehanded household
ers, who have been accustomed to keep
in their pins two-yearS supply are
on the list, also couple of unoccupied
houses which have well stocked coal
bins, 10 to Is tons. 1t is hoped and be-
lieved that the coal situation is grad
ually improving and that it will not be
necessary to resort to such drastic
measures as have been used in Port
land and some other cities, but should
an emergency demand it the commit
tee will not hesitate to exercise it's au-
thority to divert coal from overstocked
to a'npty bins

Going to the Sheep Show?

Maine farmers should attend the
sheep chow at Portland next week and
not only acquire information but get
interested in a business that should be-
come of great importance to the State.
William B. Kendall Of Bowdoinham,
one of the most extensive sheep
breeders in New England, says sheep
are to solve the problem Of unoccupied
farms, if Maine farmers will awaken
to the need and the possibilities. He
saws that increased flocks would mean
reduction in cost Of clothing and add to
the meat supply.
If we remember correctly Mr.. Ken
dali is not orc Of those farmers who
threw up his hands and resorted to the
dogs" excuse. He believes first in
sheep. next in CARE. then common
sense fencing, and, lastly. dogs for as
sistance in care and protection OF
flocks. In our collection we nave the

The keeping of sheep dogs, to live with

or three times the price of a few
years ago and wool approaching the
dollar mark, sheep can be made to pay

Speaking Of Wood

(Biddeford JournaD
In discussing firewood prices, do not
forget that there is more wood in a
cord Of stovewood than in a cord cut in
four foot lengths.-Boston Herald.
1t may be feared that the editor Of
the Herald has never had much ex-
perience in buying wood. The most
one can expect is that an honest cord
of wood in four-foot lengths would
make an honest cord Of wood when
fitted for the stove. To assume that
u cord of stovewood contains more
wood than there is in cord cut in
four foot lengths is to assume that
the dealer throws in few extra
sticks for good measure. AS matter
of fact, about four cords Of four-foot
wood, piled honestly and measured
accurately. will provide the material
for five cords Of stovewood as 1t is us
ually delivered, thrown loosely into a
cart. That is to say, a cart eight feet
long. four feet wide and four feet high,
is generally accepted as containing a
cord Of stovewood when filled even
with the top Of the sides. At best.
when wood is thus delivered, you get
something less than an honest cord; at
the worst you may have to be satisfied
with a scant three-quarters Of the
amount for which you are supposed to
pay
