Not Only ls Well-Arranged Farm
Timber Land Source OF Fuel, but
It Shelters Farmstsad From Pre-
waiting Winds, Keeping Down Fuel
and Feed Bills.
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. X
would be necessary, however, to fix
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
sylyania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, and the lake states, where
there is a rural population Of about
20O00O00, 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 viii 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 sllo-cutting
outfits or others who have gasoline or
kerosene engines to do custom saving
during the winter.

EASY TO MAKE OIL SOLID
Processes That Simplify Problem Of
Transportation Without InJurlng
lts Value as Fuel.

OIL can be made permanently solid
with comparative ease. There are nu-
merous processes-some patented, 9TH
ers supposed to be secret--for accom-
plishing this result: and ME reason
they are not Employed Is that as
rule II Is more convenient 10 have oil
in its liquid state. Especially Is this
so today, when oil is many times more
valuable than It was some years ago,
when most Of these processes were
talked of, says the Mexican Review.
BY the heating of the oil and the
admixture Of substitute well known
and very common, as well as cheap,
the oil was quickly converted into n
substance which, when cold, took on.
n solid form. In order that this form
should be permanent 1t was necessary
to add, during the latter part of the
mixing, a small quantity Of another
well known and cheap article, known
ms "binder." II this was properly
done, the oil, on cooling, assumed the
form of permanent solid; 1t COULD
be cut into bricks, blocks or Slices
and when burned in furnace did not
melt. but retained its solid form until
consumed.
All varieties of crude oil, and most
products, could be so treated. Lamp
oil that had undergone this process,
and had been solicited, could be cut
up afterward into small slices that
we're exceedingly handy for lighting
fires, boiling a kettle and other oper-
ations for which only limited amount
of flame and heat was required. The
large blocks of solid crude oil could
be used with advantage as locomotive
or other furnace fuel; and test made
on a British express train was entire
ly satisfactory, the journey being ac>
complished on this fuel to schedule
time with the greatest ease. &

Wood for fuel should be sold by
weight instead of by cord measure,
for the heating value depends not upon
the bulk of the wood but upon its
weight. A pound of dry wood Of one
species has about as much heating
value as a pound of any other spe-
eies, but two cords may vary 100 per
cent in their value for heating.

DEBATE
DELAYS ARMY BILL
House Vote on 1920 Appro-
priation Measure Put Off
by Wrangle.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Final &C
ton on the 1920 army appropriation bill
was delayed In the house yesterday as
the result Of a brisk parliamentary
skirrnish ove q proviso prohibiting the
war department from using n part
Of the appropriation or any unexpended
balances now in its possession for the
purchase of additional lands for army
purposes.
A point Of order on the proviso was
made by Representative Crisp. Demo-
crat, of Georgia. and sustained by Rep
siding, after prolonged debate.
Reductions totaling 800, 500, 900 In the
bill were made during the day, reducing
to total amount carried from $50 ,000,-
900 to Sis, $50, 900, or $685., 000, 900 less
than the original estimates OF the war
department.
The debate on the proviso centcred
largely on the question Of whether the
war department wa justified In max
ing large expenditures for land now
that hostilities have ceased and de-
mobilization more than half completed.
Republicans contended that the de-
psrtmsns.s authority 70 make land pur.
signed, and that millions Of dollars had
been spent without justification since.

carefully they will look much better
for a longer time. In the first place
do not wear them until they are really
soiled, for then washing is doubly diff
ficult.
You should never use hot water on
either sort of gloves, tho if you use
soap flakes to wash them in you may
mix that first with small amount OF
boiling water and then add it to a
basin of lukewarm water OF course,
you should not use yellow soap or any
strong washing materials. Now, some
times when gloves are really soiled it
is a little difficult to cleanse them
without some strenuous assistance. and
we are tempted to rub the fingers on
a rub board. But truly this is very
apt to wear the gloves out. Better use
a rather soft flesh brush, tho, OF
course, this tends to wear the gloves
out, too, and should be used only when
necessary. To do this put the gloves
on the hand and scrub the soiled por-
tions of the glove fingers as you would
scrub the fingers themselves.
Now, when washing chamois gloves,
you know it is usual to rinse them in
soapy water, but in washing fabric
gloves one should be careful to rinse
them thoroly in perfectly clear, luke
warm water, as any soap left in the
fabric will. or may, discolor them.
Altho this type of glove does not
SHRINK or lose shape So TSduliy dS
chamois gloves, there is a tendency to
shrinkage, and for this reason the
gloves should be pulled tightly length
wise when taken from the water Do
not wiring them in the hands, much
less in roller wringer. Lay them in
towel and then press them until
much of the water is pressed out
Place them between the folds of a dry
towel and allow to dry in a warm
place, but not directly on or in front
of a radiator or other heating con-
trivance. When they are partly dry it
is a good idea to run the fingers into
the finger sections and to fill them
with little balls of tissue paper which
helps absorb the moisture and makes
the gloves dry more quickly and in
shape. And another thing. when
washing colored gloves, such as black
or brown, add little salt to the wash
ing water, which keeps them from
running.
