Peat Used as Fuel in Early Time.

The use of peat as a source of heat
goes back beyond the historical pc
Rod into the. ancient history of the
early tribes in northern Germany.
Pliny. the Roman naturalist, gives us
possibly the first indication of the use
OF peat. He reports that the Teutons
on the border of the North sea dried
and burned mud, what w. now would
call peat. In Ireland, Great Britain
and Russia, Scandinavia, Germany,
Holland and parts OF France peat has
been used as a fuel since time i'm
memorial. The peat was cut from the
bog very much in the same manner
as it is still being done in many parts
OF Europe, where it Is cut in brick
shapes, and allowed to dry in the
wind and sun.
