woods and soft woods are mixed to-
gether without regard to the proper
ton of each the values may be so diff
ferent, that one man may, for the same
money, buy twice as much heating
value as another. The shape and size
of the sticks may also cause great
variation in the actual amount OF
wood substance, and therefore of fuel.
If weight were the measure, the spe-
cIes, shape and size of sticks would
make little difference. provided the
wood were thoroughly seasoned. 1t
would be necessary, however, to Tx
certain standards as to time of sea
soning of wood.
There is special opportunity for
greater use of wood for fuel In New
England, New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, and the lake states. where

2O,OOO,OO0, which is estimated to use
annually 100000 tons of coal. A
considerable proportion of these fuel
users will find wood available close
enough to their own neighborhood to
make long freight hauls unnecessary.
BY turning to wood they will not only
conserve the fuel supply and relieve
transportation. but are likely to con-
tribute to the prosperity Of their own
community. For one thing, the oppor-
tunIty to sell wood fuel would tend
to encourage the improvement of farm
woodlands by proper Trimmings.
An increased market for wood fuel
should open up good opportunities for
operators of thrasher and silo-cutting
outfits or others who have gasoline or
kerosene engines to do custom saving
during the winter.

HONEY WILL REPLACE SUGAR
Shortage Problem Can Be Solved by
Raising More Bees-Llttie
Attention Needed.

The sugar shortage has caused much
thought to be taken as to how we may
overcome this difficulty and so far the
best suggestion seems to be the gen.
eral one of raising more bees and get
ting more honey. 1t Is said that honey
can be used In most recipes where
sugar is called for, and 1t is claimed
that the care of bees Is less work than
any other chore connected with the
farm.

TO wash all wool fannels, sweaters
and blankets, by method that Will
prevent them from shrinking, is the
ambition of every careful housewife
1t is said that this may be accomplish
ed by washing them in cold water in
which borax and white soap have been
dissolved. The proportion seems to
be about level tablespoonful of borax
and one-fourth of cake of soap to
two or three gallons of water, depend
Ing upon the degree of hardness of
the water. To wash a sweater use
enough water to cover 1t generously.
Let the sweater soak an hour, then
squeeze 1t out, but do not wiring 1t.
# necessary put through second wa
ter which has been softened with borax
and white soap. Afterward rinse very
thoroughly in several cold waters and
put through a wringer. Then pull it
into shape and dry it. Blankets and
fiannels may be successfully washed
in this way. I
1t is said fluffy, knitted garments of
wool should not be hung up to dry.
This process for washing them and
then drying them so that they will
look like new, is given by some au-
thorities. Make a warm suds of wa
ter and white soap; wash the garment
and rinse thoroughly. Run through n
wringer and place in a pan in which
a towel has been laid. Take the gar
ment out occasionally and shake 1t,
thus allowing it to dry gradually and
with many shakings.
To Wash White China SILK.
White china silk, so much used for
waists and underclothing, is apt to
turn yellow in the wash. To prevent
this, one must take precautions. Soap
must not be rubbed on china silk gar
ments nor ammonia used to soften the
water in which they are washed. Cut
up any white soap and mix 1t with
hot water until Jelly is formed.

Formula Found Good.
Following Is the formula:

Arsenic; Arsenic; pound,
Water' Wl salons.
Washing soda. / pound. or caustic soda,
"a pound.
Since the ordinary white arsenious
oxide of commerce Is rot soluble in
water to any great degree, soda has
to be used for the purpose. When
large amounts of the poison are de-
sired washing soda will be cheaper,
but for small amounts caustlc soda
will perhaps be found the handiest.
To prepare the solution, first dis
solve the soda (either form) in con-
venient amount of water. using heat,
II desirable, to assist and hasten it;
then slowly add the arsenic, previously
made into thin paste (as the house
wife treats her corn-hour), stirring
all the time; place on n strong fire.
and after 1t has come to the boil, al
low 1t to remain boiling for at least
half an hour; stir from time to time,
and be careful to stand on the side
away from the fumes, as, being pois-
onous, they are apt to cause sickness.
When the arsenic Is thoroughly dis
solved. the solution may be made up
to the required bulk by adding the
remainder of the water either hot
or cold. The whiting is added merely
to serve as an indicator of the trees
treated, as 1t turns white on drying.
Winter Best Season.
The best time for carrying on the
operation of poisoning is when the
tree is dormant, or during the winter
months. This will most surely pre-
vent suckering, although trees can
be killed practically any time Of the
year.
In applying the poison, the tree Is
first glrdled by series of heavy down.

bark and well into the wood, leaving

the tree. 1t Is necessary that this

which alone would ordinarily kill the
tree after some time. A half pint
for small trees to a quart for very
large trees of the poison is then poured
into the Clipped surface, taking care
to saturate the wood thoroughly. An
old teapot or kettle with a spout
serves well the purpose of pouring
without needless waste or spilllng
down the trees. Saplings may be cut
Off low down and the poison applied
over the stump by swab stick. If
this is done when the sap is down
the tree will be completely killed and
suckering prevented.
