NEW SALT MINES FOUND

Lubec fish packers and sardine men
are interested in the newly discovered
salt mines at Maklegash, N. S., ABOUT
thirty miles from Pictou. Samples of
the salt have been tried out by several
men in the fish business ana they have
pronounced the salt superior to most of
that coming this way. The mines were
discovered by man who, in digging a
well, found that brine, instead of water,
came from the pump, and after repeated
drlillngs, the same thing occurred, until
1t dawned on the people of that section
that they had valuable property be-
meath them. Surveys show that at least
2,oOo. 600 tons are in one locality, about
thirty feet under the surface, and num-
Der OF shafts are being worked. The salt
is ground in different degrees of fineness,
ior sailing ice cream, pork or beef and
ilsh A depot for the sale of the salt may
be opened at Lubec, and would probably
result in less cost of salt, of which
many thousands of sacks are used there
annually, as we'll as giving the fishermen
better grade of goods.

GOOD WORK

Professor John NJ Briscoe, Names
public instructor in forestry, a member
OF the faculty of the University of Maine.
under the direction of the Maine Forestry
District, has made his annual report on
the State nursery at Orono. Few people
outside those directly interested have any
idea as to the amount and quality of the
work this State institution is doing to-
ward the reforestation project
The report shows that this nursery,
established but short time, sold during
the season of 19l9-1920 319, 300 transplants
and seedlings, as follows: White pine
transplants and seedlings, 81, $50; red pine
transplants and seedlings, rs, $50; Norway
spruce transplants and seedlings, 161, 700.
This is practically double the amount sold
last year and 10 times the amount could
have been sold had the nursery been able
to supply the demand. Every one of
these transplants and seedlings were also
disposed OF IN Maine, to be planted in
Maine soil for the benefit of Maine for
ests and Maine people.
The total receipts of the nursery
amounted to S2,042 10, while the ex-
penses were 1868. 43, leaving a net bal
ance of Sl478.43, which has been turned
into the State treasury.
The State has made yearly appropri-
alton OF $1,000 for this work, so that these
figures mean that the nursery has return
ed the full amount of the appropriation
with an excess of S478. 43-a pretty fair
showing for the newly established and
limited capacity proposition. 1t is ex-
pected to do much better in the season of
19202l.
This seasons customers numbered 40,
all Maine firms or individuals The Lin
coin Pulp Wood Co, a subsidiary of the
Eastern Manufacturing Co., was the
largest customer, taking for it's own nur-
sery $4,000 Norway spruce transplants
and III, 200 seedlings. The Brown Lum-
Der Co. of Oquossoc, the Orono Pulp and
Paper Co. and the j. Manchester Haynes
Estate were next in order.

WATCH THE FURNACE DRAFT

In the thrifty management of a hot-air
furnace there is a factor which most
householders overlook. They assume that
coal is coal, or at least that hard coal is
hard coal. Yet man need not be a
trained mlneralogist to understand that
both soft coal and hard coal are but col
lectlve names for varying grades 0n
scale OF density that runs from that of
common peat, through those of brown
coal, bituminous Goals and anthracites of
increasing hardness, to that Of graphite
form of carbon SO hard that it burns
only when used. In some of the Pennsyl-
vanIa basins the hard coal is extra hard;
In others, almost soft. And all grades
come to market. With the help of your
dealer, if his supply is not limited to a
single source, you can obtain coal that
burns freely or coal that burns with a
slow intensity as of incandesence.
Now from these grades of so-called
hard coaW the householder should select
that which best suits the normal draft in
his own furnace. If the exposure of the
house, the pattern of the furnace, the
construction of the chimney give an up
draft that as firemen say, ''would take
your hat off," you will save money by
using the hardest grade you can obtain.
Ask for your Dealers nearest approach to
old-time Lehigh. Your fire will keep
better and will heat more evenly; you
will use noticeably less coal.
But if your draft is 'lazy," if you
must keep your ash door ajar in moderate
weather, if you wonder sometimes
whether air is not dropping sluggishly
down your chimney instead of running
up and out, then order the softer grades |
OF anthracite. You will need to give your
tire more care and more frequent feeding;
but you will save yourself vexation.
AS coal varies not only in hardness but
In the size of lump, and as the coarser
sizes allow more air to stream up through
the burning mass in the fire pot, thor
ough study of your furnace should lead
also to experiments with various sizes in
combination with grades of hard and
soft. There are furnaces with such a
draft that extra small sizes, either by
themselves or in mixture with larger
coal, can be used to advantage
Ii the householders would learn that
coal is no more coal than cloth is cloth or
leather, leather, and if they would give
as much thought to selecting their costly
fuel by degree of hardness as to selecting
their cheap lead pencils or their razor
blades, the saving in coal bills and the
increase in domestic comfort would reach
astonishing totals.-Boston Herald.
