may take in a large measure the place
Of anthracite coal. has been reported
to the Department of Commerce by
Consul F. S. Johnson at Kingston,
Canada.
The new coal is called "oakoar

was for some years associated with
the Missouri Valley Health Association
It's chief component is garbage The
garbage is collected and treated so
that all odors are eliminated from
the final product. as well as the dan
ger from germs. After the treatment
it is put into large vats and boiled to
make doubly sure of it's purity. after
which it is ground and mixed with a
small proportion of anthracite coal
dust. 1T is then dried in a nIastica tor
and impregnated and from there it
goes into a rolling press which turns
out the briquettes as they are sold
on the market.

Can You Tell the Soft Woods ?

BY ADELIA BELLE BEARD,
Author, Artist; Secretary Girl Pfo-
neers of America.
II you want to be up in woodcraft,
study the skeleton Of the trees as we'll
as their foliage. Notice whether they
branch like Fig. /. Fig. 2 or Fig. 8;
whether the trunk forks into two or
more divisions like Fig. 4, or extends
up to tho tip without, q break like Fig.
S. When you know these things, and
the average size of the tree and what
its bark is like, it is as easy to identi-
fy it in winter as in summer.
Most Of the evergreens are soft
smelling balsam fir. is soft wood. 1t
has straight. Flagstaff stem like Fig.
with branches dropping like Fig. 8.
It's gray bark is smooth with gummy
blisters on the trunk. The branches
are fiat, so are the short needles which
green on top, silvery gray underneath.
Usually the cones are about two inch
es in length. The wood Is easy to
whittle or chop and the needles make
fragrant pillows.
White pine wood is soft and kin
dies quickly. As a. rule the tree has
an unbroken stem-not always very
straight-and it's branches grow at
right angles from 1t like Fig. 1. On
| young trees the bark Id smooth. but
| 1t becomes dark and rough with age.
Pine needles are grouped in clusters
and each species of pine has a certain
number of needles to the cluster. The
| white pine has five. exactly as many
as you have fingers on one hand. 1t
takes many clusters to form the tas-
| sci. The needles are generally three
inches long and the cones sometimes
measure six inches.
Another soft wood, good for whit
ting or for kindling outdoor fires, is
| Eastwood (American inden). The
| trunk usually forks like Fig. 4,
| though occasionally 1t is straight to
the top. The branches grow slanting-
ly upward like Fig. 2. but the lower
ones droop at the ends and there are
many small branchlets The bark is
dark with deep ridges.
| Gray birch, white poplar. soft ma
pie. and alder are soft woods also.
