About oasslins

In connection with investigations
regarding safety and efficiency in the
use Of petroleum and its products,
the bureau of mines has made numer-
GUS tests of gasoline. In Technical
Paper No. 127, by G. A. Burrell, are
stated the hazards that may result
from handling these liquids and the
precautions to be observed.
Gasoline vapor mingles with the air
in the same manner that water vapor
does, the amount carried depending
upon the temperature of the air and
the readiness with which the vapor
can be obtained. If one takes the
cover off full pail of tightly closed
gasoline and applies a match to the
surface, tho gasoline will fare up and
burn as long as the gasoline lasts.
On the other hand if one puts few
drops of gasoline in small tightly
enclosed pail, waits few moments
and then produces flame or electric
spark, q violent explosion will likely
result.
In the first case tho vapor burns
as fast as it comes from the gasoline
and mixes with the oxygen of the air,
whereas in the second case the oil
vaporizes in the pail and mixes uni
formly with the air to form an ex-
plosive mixture and upon ignition,
explodes.
One gallon of gasoline when entire
| " vaporized produces about 80 cubic
feet of vapor. If a lighted match
could be applied to pure gasoline va
por in the absence of air, no fire or
explosion would result. At ordinary
temperature air will hold from 5 to
2S per cent of gasoline vapor, de-
pending on the grade of gasoline.
In 100 parts by volume of air and
gasoline, an explosion would not take
place if there were more than 6 parts
of gasoline, or less than Ia parts.
In other words, the explosive range
is between IA and per cent of va
por. One gallon of gasoline can, un-
der ideal conditions, render 2,100 Gu
bic feet of an explosive mixture.

All paper must be saved, to help win

declared that we must all save paper;
that the production is only about so pei

grades Of paper in order that paper max

ORANGE COUNTY
FARM BUREAU
Notes for Week Ending Sept. 20.

A. L. Smith, poultry specialist from
the Vermont extension service, has spent
the past week with the farm bureau,
holding poultry culling demonstrations.
Ten demonstration meetings were held,
attended by over 200 people representing
over 5000 birds. On an average, 80 out
Of every 100 birds looked at were judged
to be drones. These men are keeping
egg records which will show later the
success of the culling In New Jersey
and Connecticut $4,000 birds were looked
over and 10000 culled out In Connect
cut 40 birds were culled out of every 100.
This 40 per cent of the birds laid but
8 per cent of the eggs by actual record,
while the go per cent Of birds judged
good laid % per cent of the eggs. From
these figures it looks as though part Of
the complaint about the unprohtableness
of poultry lies in keeping so many drone
birds. The county agent expects to have
in a few days little circular explaining
in detail the method used. Any not
present at the meetings desiring same
please drop a cord to the farm bureau
office at Chelsea requesting the informa-
ton
The county agent attended the meeting
of the Vermont war council held at
Montpelier Tuesday, when it was decided
by the food administrator in conference
with the above council, that Vermont
farmers should be allowed a reasonable
supply of wheat -four from their own
home raised wheat which could be ground
in quantity sufficient at one time to last
the year. Full details will soon be pub
lished from the office of the food admin
istrator. At the same time they are
allowed this extra amount, they are
urged to follow as patriotic citizens of
the United States the requests Of the
food administration regarding the use of
substitutes.
The county agent expects this coming
week to be at Tunbridge fair and the
Chelsea school fair. The meeting at West
Topsham is cancelled on account of the
influenza. Subject to cancellation be-
cause of the prevalence of influenza, the
county agent and home demonstration
agent plan to visit the farmers club
meetings the following week at West
Newbury, West Bradford and Wrights
