bricks can be used. Wood CRATES made
in two pieces are sold. which can be
inserted through the firedoor and
placed on top of the regular CRATES.
Where fireplace is available wood
can be used to good advantage, afford
ing both heat land ventilation. Its
value is to supplement- the furnace, al
though it may replace the furnace in
fall and spring with decided economy.
1t is not generally realized that wood
fire can be kept burning night and day
in fireplace with very little attention
and with small consumption of wood.
One user reports continuous use of a
fireplace in this way for over month,
with dry chestnut wood, where the
use was not enough to require re-
moval.
The secret of fireplace management
is plentiful supply of ashes, kept at
the level of the andirons. AS the
blocks burn, an accumulation of glow
ing charcoal forms in the ashes. This
keeps on burning slowly and assists in
igniting the fresh blocks on the and
irons. A pocket may be formed in the
ashes into which the hot charcoal may
fall, forming a heat storage. Two or
three blocks on the andirons with the
hot charcoal in the ashes will form an
excellent fire. To check the fire, ashes
are shoveled over one or more of the
blocks, covering lightly all burning
wood. This will not put out the fire;
it will only check the rate of burning,
so that red charcoal will be found
when the ashes are removed for the
addition of fresh fuel.
Another point worth bearing in mind
in connection with the burning of wood
in place of coal is the difference in the
amount of ash produced. A cord of
hardwood will make only about 60
pounds of ashes, while a ton of hard
coal will make from 200 to 800 pounds.
Since however, potash is now greatly
in demand, the quantity which may be
obtained from wood ash is worth con-
sideration; the ashes of coal, of
course, yield no potash. Stove ashes
contain from 10 to Is per cent of the
valuable fertilizer potash. The pres
ent price of commercial potash, about
% cents pound, or $500 a ton, almost
prohibits its use as fertilizer. 1t is
important always to keep wood ashes
under cover, as they leach rapidly if
allowed to become damp. New ashes
should be allowed to cool before they
are dumped on the ash heap.

years, it Is important to know how
much wood there is in the country. On
farms alone the total area is approx
mately 1892, 900 acres. The first tier
of states just west of Mississippi has
great deal of timber. In the West the
wooded areas are for the most part
restricted to the mountains. An aver
age of ten cords an acre, which seems
reasonable, would give one and one
half billions of cords for the region
east of the Mississippi. At the aver
aeg rate of consumption on the farm
itself, 1875 cords a year, 739 cords
will last 5S years. On the average this
would be ample time to replace the
stands and thus continue the supply in
definitely.
The great demand for fuel wood
and the high prices during the winter
of 1917-18 brought out plainly the in
adequacy of the cord for measuring
wood. The purchaser of fued wood
buys it not for its bulk but for its
heating value, which depends not upon
the volume Of wood but upon its
weight. A pound of dry wood of one
species has about the same number of
heat units as pound of any other
species but a cord, assuming the same
solid volume of wood in each case 900
cubic feet), of Eastwood, for instance,
yields but 100000 British thermal
units, while a cord of black locust
yields 25,O00,000 British thermal units.
A better way to sell fuel would be
by weight, which is entirely independ-
ent of species, shape or size of sticks,
| good measure of the fuel value Of
thoroughly seasoned wood. Green
wood, of course, varies considerably in
water content, and therefore in fuel
value, by the unit weight, and natural
ly would be sold at price different
from that of dry wood. If weight in
stead of volume is adopted as the
standard measure, it will be necessary
to fix certain standards as to time of
seasoning of wood offered for sale.
Coal has been so generally used
lately and furnaces and stoves have

seems impractical to many to burn
wood without going to great expense.
Such is not usually the case, as simple
adjustments will allow wood to be
used with coal-burning equipment. The
size of the firebox, of course, gives the
greatest difficulty, since in many cases
lit may make it necessary to cut the
wood into very small blocks. This trou-
BILE, however, is not insurmountable
and is not as expensive as 1t might
seem. The matter OF adjusting the

Easy Diaunosis.

There was a long line of waiting
patients when he entered the doctors
office but he didn't seem to care for
that. And his nonchalance was soon
justified, for the assistant came out,
looked the patients over and said to
this tardy arrival: "You are next"
It was his air of prosperity that got
him this favor, for he had never been
there before. In the office the physician
greeted him cordially, too. He exam
ned him gently, deity, briefly. Then
said: "Ah! Dyspepsia" II know it."
