On these crisp early autumn
days that we have been enjoying
of late how good the wood fire in
the kitchen range has felt! 1t has
been so convenient on these chilly
mornings to start a wood fire in
the kitchen range and soon have
the coffee perkin' and also have the
chill driven out of the whole house.
And in addition, very shortly,
warm water can be drawn at the
kitchen sink, while in the oven
mother has nice brown toast in the
maxim. And perhaps, too, during
this season of canning she is very
liable to have canning operations
started On the back side of the
range during the breakfast period.
Now when one stops to consid-
er that all this cooking and heat
ing is accomplished with the one
wood fire unit he can appreciate
all the more how efficient wood is
as a range fuel, and efficiency
means low cost.
For the farmer there is no more
efficient fuel than wood from his
own forest, and undoubtedly for
many folks living in town a sub
stantial saving is realized by the
use of good quality wood for fuel.
Particularly is this true during the
autumn and spring when the fur
C is not in operation. Many a
furnace FIRE is saved by the house
heating derived from the wood fire
in the kitchen range.
Sboun Be Advertised
Farmers who have wood for sale
should advertise in order to COM
pete with other fuels which are so
strongly advertised. The merits of
good North Carolina hardwood as
fuel should be continually empha-
sized by farmers and other wood
land owner who have a surplus of
fuel wood to sell. Many city folks
say, I'VE would like to burn wood
but we have no dependable supply
We have no certainty of getting
seasoned wood of the desired size
and quality" Farmers isn't this
~eL-ae~7 By advertising good,
well-seasoned, graded wood of any
size, undoubtedly a great deal more
could be sold particularly during
these days when folks are inter
ested in cutting down costs.
Best Fireplace Fuel
For these folks who really enjoy
a fireplace and appreciate the
cheer and coziness of a fireplace
fire on frosty fall evenings there
is no substitute for wood for fire
place fuel. A wood fire can be so
easily and quickly started and be-
gins generating heat so promptly.
Furthermore in the use of we'll
seasoned wood the amount of
smoke and gas is reduced to a min
imum in fringing the wood to that
red glowing stage that throws both
heat and cheer so abundantly. And
too, complete combustion is so cas-
lily obtained-very little formation
of SCOT, a small amount Of ash and
no clinkers attend the use of wood
as a fireplace fuel. All these ad-
vantages make wool a most desir-
able and efficient fuel to use in the
fireplace.
Can Be Used In Furnace
For the average city folk who
are looking for a way to reduce
fuel bills these days the use of
wood in the furnace presents an
opportunity to accomplish this saw
ing. This has been demonstrated
repeatedly. Last winter a certain
seven-room house was heated at a
great saving almost exclusively
with wood. The only other fuel
used during the entire winter was
a half ton of coal. The furnace
(hot airy used wood very efficient
ly without change of CRATES. 1t
was learned, however, that it was
necessary to maintain at all times
a thick bed of ashes on the crate
and to keep the furnace well
checked. Ashes accumulated very
slowly and what were produced
