PEAT TO BE USED
IN PLACE OF COAL
North State Settlers Pre-
pairing For Substitute
LARGE TRACTS THERE
This Fuel Will Be Salvation For
Many Farmers During
Coming Winter
ASSOCIATED Press Disparchl


Minneapolis, October 19.-Peat--
which during the forest fires in the
north country became a potential
menace to the lives of many set
tiers in that territory-may be the
salvation for many farmers facing
coal shortage this winter.
So declared w. r. AppIeby, d.
rector or the Mines Experiment
Station, University of Minnesota,
former president OF the American
Peat society but now an instructor
at the university, are prescribing
the best methods OF utilizing this
fuel for consLmptive purposes.
Evidence of the interest taken by
many farmers who have empty coal
bins with prospects of their being
filled quite remote is seen In the
numerous inquiries received by
Professors Appieby and Christian,
son, the mines station director de-
clared, Many analyses have been
made free OF charge and much 9TH
er pertinent Information has been
given all those forwarding inquir-
les, Prof. Appleby said.
- Now Time To Prepare Peat
Now is the time to prepare peat
for the coming winter, according to
ithe mines director. It is not nee :
essary to go far afield to locate peat
0ogs, he said. The sloughs, boys
and marshes of the state contain a
black to brown fbrous soil known
as peat which varies in thickness.
Dogs that have been drained for
amy purposes are the most satisfac-
tory sources for mining peat, &C
cording to Prof. Appleby. To the
person wishing to store up peat
fuel for the winter Prof. Appleby
recommends the simplest method
as follows:
Select a drained bog where the
peat is at least four feet thick. Dig
down as far as practicable with q
sharp, nat ditching spade. Prepare a
bank Like face from which blocks
. of the peat may be cut with ease
blocks a tribe larger than building
brick. An old knife such as used
for cutting stacked hay is a good
implement for making the vertical,
or UP and down cuts. A ditching
spade may be used for the horizon.
tai missions.
How Peat Fire Started
To dry the peat, the blocks should
be stood on edge with air spaces
uclHSeu IuCiu. "1eI6 the peat Is
not ibrous, as may be the case
well below the surface, and crum
bles easily, it may be mixed with
water and kneaded into the consis-
tency of ordinary mortar and then
spread out on the smooth surface
of the bog to a depth of about four
inches and allowed to drain. After
drained it may be cut into bricks.
Prof. App1eby said a peat fire is
started in the same manner as a
coal FIRE. When thoroughly dried,
he declared, the peat burns with q
comparatively short flame and il
the draft is closed after the peat is
well ignited, the fire will last much
longer than a corresponding wood
or coal fire Peat has about the
same heat value, weight for weight,
as air dried wood. An intensely
hot fire, such as is suitable for ali
kinds Of domestic and power pur
poses can be produced with a mod
crate draft.
