Wood for Winter Fuel

Many farms have available large
quantities of timber, fallen and other
wise, which the farmer can profitably
convert into fuel for the coming win
ter if he will provide himself with
the necessary power-operated equip
ment. A large amount of labor re-
quired in preparing firewood has kept
many farmers from using wood for
fuel, but with the high prices for coal
it behooves the thrifty farmer to con-
slider the advantage of investing in
a wood-sawing machine which will
make it possible to utilize much tim
Der on his land at relatively small
expenditure of labor A great many
farmers already have gasoline engines
suitable for driving such a machine.
The latter is comparatively inexpen-
sive. One outfit can do the work for
several farmers each year and the
purchase of complete outfit, includ-
ing an engine, to furnish power may
be profitable for a group of farmers
or for one who is in a position to do
certain amount of work for his
neighbors. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture offers free
detailed information on this subject.

What to Buy in Schools That Serve
Hot Lunch

How many schools in Vernon coun-
ty serve a hot dish at noon to the
boys and girls in the rural schools
Wood county children have the best
record of any county in the state. In
81 of the 80 rural schools there the
cold lunch that children carry in
boxes, bags and pals in the morning
is given pep" by the addition OF hot
milk, hot soup, hot cocoa or hot cereal
Very simple and inexpensive equip
ment is all that is necessary to pre-
pare these hot dishes. Home econo-
mics demonstrators from the Univer-
sity report that this is the equipment
in most of the schools they have Wis
tied. A two or three burner oil stove;
a small table or dry goods box, of
which the lower part is often enclos-
ed as a cupboard for the dishes and
cutlery with a door in front to keep
out rats and mice; dishes for working
dishes for serving, and cleaning equip
ment
To use in preparing the food it is
well to provide large teakettle, large
double boiler, large granite kettle,
quart measure, sieve, egg beaten,
measuring cup, large long-hand.ed
spoon, measuring spoon, tablespoon,
two pairing knives, potato masher, veg
etable brush, can opener, and fork.
Dishes for serving ought to include
a large pitcher from which to pour
soup or cocoa. A large cup, plate,
spoon, and paper napkins may be
brought by each child or supplied at
the school.
Cleaning equipment means dish
pans, dish towels, disheloths, soap
cleanser, sapolio.
