New Type Wood Stove Practical European", Faced With Fuel Problems, Have Perfected Stove t"r> F.ffect Savings On Fuel Bill Several of the European eounries having none or deficient oil J ir coal deposits have in recent 'ears given much study to the levclopment of fuels that can he ireduced within their own boilers. Of especial interest to ti e American farmer is the developnent in Europe of a much im-hiireinp stove to re. ilace the present type. Instead if filling up the stove with ihunks every few minutes, the mproved stove need be filled eith wood only twice in 24 hours, o that the farm family and oth r users enjoy a more evenly leated home with much less atention. The new European stoves have J radically double the heating eficiency of our wood stoves and ire more practical, according to lirect reports received by the U. >. Forest Products Laboratory, i ifadison. Wis. This laboratory, : n line with its general investiga- j ion on the more efficient utili-1 ation of wood, has attempted to ecure all information possible on he foreign stove for the benefit if the American public. Wood still remains an importnt fuel in rural sections but evil here inroads have been made iecau.se of the demand for less mlky fuel. To maintain this mar:et, or increase it, it is necesary that the cost of fuelwood to he customer be reduced by in-leasing the heating efficiency..In ,'eneral, the average wood-burn- : ng stove used in America proluces a heat value of only 35 to 5 percent of the heat value of he wood used. The new type of j oreign stove obtains as high as ( !0 percent of the heat value of he wood. The improved stove! las been tried in Germany, Au-1 itiia, Switzerland, France and Sweden and has proved satisfacory. The stove should have wide ap>eal because the volume of wood | equired is only one-half that usrnlly needed even though the :ost per fuel unit remains the lame. One might assume that he use of such stoves would be if no advantage to the woodland iwner, because they reduce the tniount of fuel burned, but the1 educed cost of fuel due to inireased stove efficiency should ireate a much larger demand, specially in rural districts. The great quantity of water [ ised by American railroads each I ,-ear would fill a channel 300 rards wide and nine feet deep, ixtending from New' York to jan Francisco and return. 'ILOT, Sn county.
