H FURNACE FIRE.

1t Is taken tor granted that there is to be a
tre IN the furnace this winter, coal strike, rail
strike and sailors strike to the contrary notwitt-
standing The supply of coal will not be as large
as usual, and for that reason, as we'll as because
OF prices for which in the nature of things there
10 no warrant, the correct handling of the furnace
becomes an exceedingly important natter A
large proportion of the coal bought by the house
holder is carried out with the ashes and dumped.
another large proportion goes up the chimney
and is blown away. 1t is not possible to save all
that is thus wasted, but if half of the waste were
saved there would be a very apprecieble lessening
of fuel bills.
Some idea of the loss from dumping unburned
coal with ashes may be gained any winter BY a
casual inspection of ash piles. After the fine ash
has been blown or washed away the average ash
pile looks very much like a pile of fresh coal. The
sitting of ashes is quite often recommended, and in
many cases it pays. A better plan is such regula-
ton of the fires that there will be little coal to he
sifted out. Irregular firing and promiscuous shak-
ing are responsible for most of this form Of waste.
Often the mistake is made of installing heating
plants which are too snallN In fold weather fires
must be forced, and in the frequent shakings to
obtain draft burning coal is allowed to escape. In
this matter it seems to be a fairly coed plan to
ascertain what size of furnace is ample for the Ut
most demands to be made upon it, and then install
the next size larger. =
Railroad engineers have devoted a great deal
Iof study to the problem of fuel conservation. Their
decision is that the economical FIRE is the fire that
rs kept bright. That is, instead of covering a fire
20 completely with coal that no fire can be seen,
coal should be fed in frequently and in small
quantities at a time, with drafts so regulated that
the gases driven off by the heat may have oxygen
enough to cause their consumption within the fur
mace. That principle applies to the domestic fur
mace as we'll as to the locomotive fire box. In ac-
itual practice the home fire cannot usually be fed
lin just that way, as there is no fireman to give
constant attention to the fire. But if the furnace
is OF proper size, it is possible to utilize the heat
I'm most OF the gases by maintaining a good body of
IRE and by providing top draft until the escaping
gases are burned. After that, the less draft the
better provided a steady heat can be maintained.

RATS r e DISEASES.

For several years the health au-
thorities Of the world. have tried to
interest the people in suppression of
rats. That they are making bead
way is evinced by what has been ac-
complished in California and in New
Orleans, AVID at kother points along
the guilt coast, Here and there an
inland health department speaks up
on the subject.
DR.. w. "A. Riley makes out the fol-
case against the rat in Mime
sofa Medicine. The annual feed bill
of-theIrat in America Is estimated to
be $35,000,000
Some of this is grain and other
food which would otherwise rot, but
much of 1t is good, perchantable
goods. as every farmer and many
merchants and all manufacturers of
foodstuffs knowl well. DR.. Riley's
case is largely based on the menace
to health u.
The most deadly disease known to
be spread by rats is plague. Those
who had charge of the little epidemic

and Berkeley Cal, four years ago

Some observers claim that in the
Kentucky c6al fields men are more
restless where they are best housed,
best fed. and best amused. The rea-
son ascribed is that the miners in the
great coal camps feel n%sort of al
leg1ance to the soil. no matter-how
fong their residence at a. given camp,
while miners in many of the smaller
operations have a love of home which
keeps them-there.
Some Miners May Own Homes.
Visitors are impressed !, especially
with the living conditions and the
apparent loyalty Of the miners at
Stearns, a timber and Goa operation
which hasfits administration buildings
ION the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
fearlthe Tennessee line. Here the
miners are given, under stipulated
conditions, opportunity to acquire SIR
face rights to land. They may build
their cottages and own them and live
in them IN the style to which Ken.
tucky mountaineers are accustomed.
The result is that a great proportion
OF the miners here are. natives. Their
log cabins peep from the pines in var
ious situations so picturesque that
they look as If theV had built for a
movie camera to Shoot" They are
wholly without the conveniences
(which make a miners home in q mod
ern camp. much like an apartment in
Chicago or New York. Wives Of
miners here pack water from the
spring" in native vernacular, feed
|pigsin a pen, and keep1chickens. They
know the hardship of strenuous La
Dor. but seemingly they have no de-
sire to move, and their men share
their local attachment.
Inv Floyd county, in the Big Sandy
Valley, native miners predominate.
There are no camps in this region
that could be called show places of
Kentucky coal fields. But native
miners, %resenting the intrusion of for
eigners, are Inclined to remain in one
place. So greatly do they resent the
presence of outsiders that importing
labor into this field may cause bloody
clashes. In times Of large coal or
|ders there is difficulty in getting
enough labor as the native coal bop
uletion is not dense.
IN the model camps a miner owns
nothing e but his household goods.
That as a rule he acquires at The
company store after arrival. often
he sells, 1t and leaves 1T when he
