Use of stoves , fireplaces explained NORRISTOWN - Solid wood, whether round, split, slabs, or lumber scrap, can be burned in almost any stove or fireplace equipped with a hearth or grate fine enough to retain the wood ash, but efficiency will be low if the combustion space is low, say experts. In some stoves equipped with deep firepots, the use of short lengths of wood and the close packing of the pieces provides for a more efficient BOU-MATIC SSp; sTi*£S&'*t i r K -T f 4 jj^^B sat Dip " -'-{i * v —‘^-r,"^| LLOYD KREIDER CARL SHIRK LANDIS FARMSTEAD JONES DAIRY SERVICE CLUGSTON IMPLEMENT SHENKS FARM SERVICE Cochranviile, PA Lebanon, PA AUTOMATION Lester Jones.

Generally, these stoves are not operated at uniform rates but at burning rates that vary widely ac cording to the weather and heating requirements. Under such conditions, it is sometimes difficult to maintain the temperature in the firebox at the ignition temperature. As a result, the unburned tars and gases go up the chimney where they are deposited as creosote or lead to metal stovepipe BOU-MATIC ACID CLEANER -for safe, effective removal of all minerals.

If the stovepipe is long, there is strong likelihood that the flue gas will be cooled to the point where the tars, and sometimes water, will condense and leak through the joints. A rapid increase in the flue-gas'temperature may cause chimney fires by igniting the accumulated tar.

Ordinary fireplaces deliver to the room only a tenth of the heating value of wood, the balance being lost in heating the large amount of excess air passing out of the room through the chimney. A chimney damper, closed down as much as possible, will reduce the amount of air drawn from the room. A duct supplying air to the fire from outside the building will tend to conserve the heated air in the room. Many of the modern heating-type fireplaces have metal side walls and back with space for air to cir culate between the walls and the metal fireplace backing. They have air inlets near the floor level and outlets near the mantle to circulate air around the fireplace shell, thus providing convection air heating in addition to radiant heating. Ashes should be kept to the bottom of the andirons to prevent rapid wood burning as well as to accumulate a bed of glowing embers which provide maximum radiation and ignite fresh wood. The fire can be checked by sprinkling lightly with ashes and a fire so banked may last for 10 hours or so. Improved wood stoves of the slow combustion type have been used in Europe for many years. A few were imported into the U.S. as early as the late 1930’s and several American designs now utilize the basic prin ciples of the European stove.

Primary combustion air is admitted at the bottom of a shell which surrounds the fuel chamber, the space between the shell and chamber wall forming a secondary combustion chamber in which the escaping gases driven from the wood are burned. Air ducts in the secondary chamber provide the air required for complete combustion of gases. The draft for this air can be carefully controlled. The gases distilled from the wood must pass down through the bed of coals where they are heated to the required temperature for complete combustion before passing to the secondary chamber. These burning units when properly controlled can hold a fire overnight. Wood for the slow com bustion stove should be cut shorter than the firebox to enable the fuel charge to move down as the lower wood bums. Wood should be stacked closely and evenly to ensure uniform burning. Caution should be exercised in recharging the firebox due to the buildup of gases in the combustion chamber. If the gases have not been driven or vented off, the smoke in the chamber will escape into the room and gases may back flash if the stove is very hot. Such back flashes are rare and can be avoided by the proper choice of refueling time. t& s j 4 ''»ia,«~' p r ' .o«tN£ WiiHy | Wffii I % * « m '"«* . s ' * available Services Division has published a series of posters promoting Pennsylvania products and commodities, Secretary of Agriculture Kent Shelhamer said recently.

Another leaflet ex plains how Pennsylvania consumers are protected under the various food laws through the Department’s Bureau of Foods and Chemistry. Pennsylvania is one of the leading agricultural states in the nation and ranks first in the production of mushrooms. It also ranks in the top five states for the production of tart cherries, peaches, apples, grapes, eggs and milk. To obtain the material, contact the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

Every year dairy cows munch a mountain of 13 million tons of byproducts. Because of microorganisms living in their rumen, cows have the unique ability to transform these worthless materials into nutrients that can be used to produce milk. It is estimated that cows can be maintained on a ration of 80-100 percent non-grain feeds. That makes the dairy cow a truly remarkable milk making machine.
