" " , . ' - ' . It la no! expected anbatlroUon of wood for coal will be completa or uni versal, at for many pnrpoaea coal la tnnch mora convenient But for heat ing many kinds of buildings wood la the more convenient and cheaper fuel. SThls Is particularly true In tha case f chnrches, balls, summer cottages, and other buildings for which heat la required only occasionally but then Is wanted In- large volume at short no tice. ' v ; -hr , Methods of Maklna Cordwood. The most, common method of mak ing cordwood la to cut the trees Into 4-foot lengths with the ax and split the larger pieces. The pieces are then piled in a standard cord, which Is 8 feet long, 4 feet high, and 4 feet wide. The contents are 128 cubic feet, of which about 70 per cent Is wood and 80 per cent au. " Wood cut 4 feet long can be sold to brickyards, lime kilns, metal-working plants, and other Industries, but la too large for house bold use. This method is used chiefly where the tree growth is comparative ly small, aa in second growth, because uch wood splits easily. - - Another method, and one better adapted for old-growth hardwoods, which are difficult to split, is to saw the " tree Into' logs of convenient lengths, say from 10 to 16 feet These are "sna ted" tout to the edge of the woodlunU and there sawed and split Into lengths proper for the stove or furnace. -.

(Prpar.S fcy th UnlUd Btates De partment of Agriculture.) ,. Iowa farms which put In their quota 6f the Liberty wheat crop are to be designated aa "Victory; Farms," according to announce ment by the county ! farm bu reaus of the state. Posters with the legend "Victors' Farm" will be given to the farmers by the school district co-operators late this fait Those who sow spring wheat will be given their posters next spring. The wheat quota is one acre out of every eight Allowances will be made on farms having an unusually large amount of untWable land. . .- PHOSPHATE ROCK IS USED AS FERTILIZER If Finely Ground and Well Distrlb ', uted Gives Good Results.1-' This Source of Phosphorus Being More Extensively Used Than For merly on Account of Shortage . ' j. j of Sulphurlo Acid. . (Prepared by the United States Separt- - ment of Agriculture.)' Acid phosphate, which Is used ex tensively as a commercial fertiliser, bas doubled In price during the last few years. Farmers of this country ere now facing a serious shortage of this material jjecause the monitions In dustry is consuming much sulphuric acid which would ordinarily be used In the manufacture of acid, phosphate. )' The situation has led users of fertil izers to give greater consideration to the use of ground raw rock phosphate. That this source of phosphorus is be ing used as fertilizer more extensively is shown by the fact that during 1916 17 at least six large companies entered s the " raw ground phosphate business and the annual consumption of this material has Increased during the last decade to over 01,000 tons, Involving an expenditure to the farmer of at : least $750,000. . Ground raw rock phosphate is far less soluble than add phosphate. Its effectiveness appears to be due largely to its thorough distribution In the soil. Tills is brought about by liberal appli cHtlons of very finely ground rock to-g-otiier with, good tillage. When all tlese conditions are not fulfilled, it may '8"'o several years to obtain the by machine, driven either by gasoline or br electricity. The wood is piled 4 feet high and 8 feet long, such a pile being called a "stove-wood" or "running" cord or "run." When the wood is sawed Into 16-lncn lengths, aa la customary with stove material. three runs are theoretically equivalent to one cord. Actually they contain somewhat more wood, since small pieces can be packed more closely than larger ones. - ,."V : J Wood Profitable Farm Crop. 1 rirewovJ is expected to bring ft . better profit this year than ever be fore. It la a much less perishable crop than many which the farmer raises. When properly plied, the better r'nda of wood will last from two to utree years, although wood steadily deterior ates after the first year. To have the best beating vaiue, as well as to reduce the cost of hauling , wood should be thoroughly seasoned, ' which means air-drying it from six te eight months. However, when piled so as. to get a good circulation of air. , L -. .1 I ... M h. OV per cent n uiv uiwaiiuv w removed In three- months.

Such soils are always richer la carbonic acid than those of low or ganic content and this add Is Impor tant in effecting the solubility and availability of the phosphate rock. Bacterial activity, which Is more no ticeable in soUs blgh In organic mat ter, Is also valuable in aiding the solu bility of rock phosphate. . QUALITY BUTTER IS WINNER Prosperous Creameries Make High- Grade Article and In Quantities to Meet Demand. t (Prepared by the United Btates Depart ment of Agriculture.) - " Marked success of the creameries of Wisconsin "and Minnesota the two largest butter-producing states In the Union Is due principally to the fact that they produce butter of good qual ity and In a large quantity to mees market demands. - Where It Is possible creameries should co-operate In produdng a uni form high grade ol Dutter ana maso shipments to market In larger quanti ties than is possible wben they operate separately. r , " 1 Most of the creameries in Wisconsin and Minnesota Duy separatee cream rather than wbole milk on a.butterfot hHls. This nlan reduces the cost of collecting and enables the dairyman to keen the skim milk on his farm, wnere whole milk Is sold to the creameries, usually the skim milk Is returned to the patrons. Buttermilk also la sold to nntrnnH to bo used as feed. A number 01 creameries recognising the relation of poor cream to poor nut ter, which on the market sells at low price, have sought to encourage more frequent deliveries , by I establishing grades of cream and by paying a pre mium of from 3 to S cents a pound of butterfat for the better grades of cream. This' plan has met with the ap proval of many dairymen, who now de liver their cream dally during the sum mer and every other day during the winter. A number of creameries which rtinrn the .first and second trade cream senaratelv. showed an average Increase in price of 8.0 cents a pound for the butter churned from the first-grade cream- Shipment of butter to market usually, was made In led refrlgssstar freight cars. it 2nd Sea t Auction All Kinds of rtcp. faction t9 Ccfi Cuyer tni 5c"cr. our client. v'.v VVeSubd!. . erty Wi Ji r u..tl :!. mlfUnt ntM rJ mikllritv Hnertl.
