Device Can Tame q Bulky Fireplace
By DoueIos Tuoniey

II you have fireplace trouble
the device shown here may be
the answer to your problem.
This clever but simple piece Of
equipment has been around for
years. though we seldom see 1t
in a modern house.
It is known by two names
a Cape Cod damper and q Cape
Cod blower. Why these names
have been attached to it we can
not guess, as it certainly does
not dampen a fire and there is
nothing even remotely re-
sembling a blower about it. It
is just a clever idea for making
a fireplace operate properly and
for avoiding smoke in the room
when a fire is first started.
The device consists of a sheet
of metal big enough to cover
completely the fireplace open
ing and having a slot cut out OF
the bottom edge. It is supported
on two angle-iron legs SO that
it will stand upright. Any one
can make it, and If you want to.
you can add nice brass handle
to the top and use small orna-
mental brass legs instead of 10
cent iron ones.
When fire is started in
balky fireplace the paper and
kindling are lighted and the
blower set right across the open
ing, The only air that can enter
the fireplace shoots in through
the slot at the bottom in a, regu-
lar jet and fans the fire to fury.
As the opening Is closed every
where else, the only place for
the smoke to go is up the CHM

Lurge Screen Best Means
To Prevent Pond Moss
From Clogging irrigation

In late spring and early summer
many Mississippi ponds will be COW
cred with heavy layer of moss
which has not been apparent dur
ing the winter. This moss often
causes expensive stoppages of ir-
rigation equipment.
Agricultural engineers of the
Mississippi Experiment Sta on
have found that a large screen
is the best means of avoiding clog
ged strainers in mossy ponds. A
typical screen that has been used
successfully is made of one-quarter
inch hardware cloth covering a
frame 6 feet by feet by 4 feet.
When this screen is submerged just
to the top, screen area of SO SO.
feet is available through the four
sides. However, at least six inches
Of the frame should be above the
surface of the water to prevent
the moss from coming over the top.
While this reduces the screen sur
face slightly, the large remaining
area lowers the velocity of the
water flowing through it so that
the moss is not pulled into the

screen and does not clog it.
Several methods have been used
to kill moss. In ponds Of sufficient
size to be used for irrigation. the
cost of chemicals may be high or
the material used may be harm
full to livestock. Screening. there
fore. is often the most practical
method.
Details of the construction of the
screen are described by E. A. Kim
brough, Jr., of the agricultural en-
gineering department, in the April
issue Of Mississippi Farm Research

ment Station at State College.
