Last week the “Watchman” told of the scarcity of anthracite coal in Belle- fonte and an illustration of just how scarce it is was given on Saturday when the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply company received a car load of chest- nut. So many orders were on the company’s books that the car load was divided among approximately two hundred customers and no new orders would be taken. This is only a sam- ple of what conditions will probably be like all winter and it is up to every- body to economize as much as pos- sible in the use of coal. For this rea- son the following scientific rules and regulations for saving coal in the home, prepared by L. P. Breckenridge, professor of mechanical engineering at Yale, and chairman of the fuel division of the American Society of Mechanic- al Engineers and E. H. Lockwood, as- sistant professor of mechanical engi- neering at Yale, are very timely. The regulations have been approved by the fuel division and are as follows: PART I. PREPARATION OF EQUIPMENT. See that the grates are in good or- der. Seal air leaks in ash pit and around clean-out doors. Cover steam and water pipes to pre- vent unnecessary radiation. Provide suitable clean-out tools for boiler flues. Prepare for supplementary heat in mild weather, fire-places, gas logs, kerosene heaters, ete. Prevent air leakage as far as possi- ble by weather strips and storm win- dows. Provide for re-circulating air in hot air furnaces by convenient slides in the pipes. Arrange coal bins so that two kinds of fuel can be kept separate if desired. PART II. KINDS OF FUEL. Stove and nut anthracite are ideal fuels for heating homes. Scarcity and cost of these fuels will restrict their use in the future. Small sizes of an- thracite should be used whenever pos- sible. Gas coke in connection with anthra- cite pea or buckwheat coal. This is an excellent combination, as the fire will keep well, but will give heat when required. Block wood in conjunction with an- thracite pea or buckwheat coal. This is a good combination where wood is available, equal to coke for producing heat, but requiring more attention. Bituminous coal can be used in most furnaces designed for hard coal. The exceptions will be found in cases where the flue passages are small and not easily cleaned. Bituminous coal demands more attention, and unless this is given will give less heat. Best results will be found where the fur- nace is rather large for the house, so Yias the fire does not have to be push- PART IIL THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FURNACE. 1. Rules for Bunrning Anthracite Coal (Large Sizes.) Carry a deep bed of fuel—at least level with the fire doors. Shake the grate to remove ashes and lower the fuel bed but stop when the first live coals appear. Fresh fuel should be spread evenly over the entire grate area. A heavy firing, say 6 to 8 inches deep, can be made if desired and will last for 6 to 8 hours. For quick kindling, the fire bed should be made fairly hot before adding fresh fuel. After firing keep the dampers wide open until blue flame appears, ther check off the draft as much as neces- sary to keep the fire burning at de- sired rate. The proper setting of the dampers must be learned in the draft avaliable for different installations. 2. Rules for Burning Coke and Anthra- cite, Pea or Buckwheat. Carry a deep bed of fuel—even above the level of the fire door. Shake the grate to remove ashes and lower the fuel bed but stop when the first live coals appear. : Spread a thin layer of anthracite over the entire grate and allow a few minutes for this fuel to ignite. Next fill the fire pot with coke, and allow this to burn until blue ame appears, then add another layer of anthracite. After firing and seeing that the charge is ignited, check off the draft to the desired point for slow burning. When banking the fire for the night, use less coke and more anthracite, but otherwise fire in the same manner. Anthracite pea or buckwheat can often be used alone with success. This will happen when the draft is unusu- ally good and the furnace is amply large. Small size anthracite ignites slowly. It is best to fire one-half of the grate at a time, allowing the first half of the charge to ignite before adding the second half. Small sizes may be used in the fall and spring if not in the winter. ¥ 3. Rules for Burning Wood and Anthra- | cite, Pea or Buckwheat. Follow the rules for coke and an- thracite, substituting block wood for coke. It is highly important to see that the fuel is properly ignited and giving off flame before closing off the drafts. 4. Rules for Burning Bituminous Coal. Bituminous, or soft coal, will, as a rule, give out less heat than anthra- cite when fired in the ordinary resi- dence heater. Hence more attention will usually be required when using soft coal. A deep fuel bed is desirable, also, as a rule, more draft by the dampers. After the fuel is partly burned, more heat can be obtained by break- ing up the fire bed with the hoe or poker if the fuel is caked. Stir up the fire and get it hot be- fore adding new fuel. Preliminary to firing a new charge, push the burned fuel to the back or sides of the fire box, heaping it high up on the sides of the fire box walls. Fire fresh fuel into the hole in the hot fuel bed, making it level with the heaped-up burning fuel. After firing check the draft to make the fire burn slowly, setting the dam- pers as found best by experience. A large charge of soft coal will burn slowly for several hours, giving out moderate heat. If more heat is de- manded, it can be secured by breaking up the partly ignited mass with the fire tools. x A little air should be admitted through the slides in the fire door when burning bituminous coal. Registered Cows Brought Good Prices at Community Sale. One fact emphasized at the com- munity sale in Bellefonte on Wednes- day was that farmers and stock breed- ers will pay the price for registered blooded stock while grade stock is not in great demand.

The banner price received was $247.00 for his registered cow Fegis Pontiac DeKol Orrasby. She was bought by E. M. Archie, of Lock Ha- ven, who also paid $165.06 for one and $182.50 for a grade cow.

What Pleasant Gap Sportsmen Have Done. Despite the little hammer of the habitual knockers the Pleasant Gap Camp No. 176, United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, is steadily increasing its membership, according to the an-! nual report, and now has on its roll seventy-six names of good and sub- stantial citizens of that town and sur- rounding territory. During the past’ year they put out one hundred quail, forty-eight Kansas rabbits, six Mich- * igan snow shoe rabbits, three ring- neck pheasants and fifteen cans of . brown trout, all furnished by the game | and fish commissions. They also have ! raised to maturity nine ringneck pheasants from eggs furnished by the game commission, and these will be | released in the spring after laying! their first setting of eggs. i The Camp now occupies the second floor of the building in which is hous- ed the Pleasant Gap hose company. Their rooms are nicely furnished and the walls decorated with many fire- arms and trophies of the chase. A very successful old time rifle match was held last Saturday, which netted the Camp seventy odd dollars. The best shots, and those capturing the good prizes were Clyde Thomas and Mr. Mingle, of State College; Mr." Walker, of Bush’s Addition, and Allen Wolford, of Pleasant Gap. The Pleasant Gap Camp is affiliated with the United Sportsmen of Penn-! sylvania, a state-wide organization with many prominent men as mem- bers, whose object is the propagation and protection of game and fish in the | forests and streams of the State. All’ true sportsmen are invited to join the Camp, whether residents of Pleasant | Gap or not. | Twelve applications for liquor | licenses have been filed in Centre county. One of the number is Earl S. Kline, for a license at the Garman house, Bellefonte. | Real Estate Transfers. N. A. Hansen, et ux, to Boyd N. Johnston, tract in State College; $600. Eva D.

Bush House—Miss Jane Daggett. The proceeds of the sale are used in ' the health education program that has been vigorously carried on the past three years in our schools. This pro- gram has included the health clown, literature, lantern slides, several hun- dred tooth brushes supplied free, mo- vies, a dental hygienist and necessary outfit, and fare for patients to Cres- son. In addition to. this, the commit- tee has made itself responsible for | rent of a room in which the State tu- berculosis clinic will be opened next month. That so much good can be accom- plished through the sale of penny seals seems sufficient apology for ask- ing support of a public that has been made almest bankrupt in purse and patience by the numerous recent “drives.” W.

Mrs. Brown was pleased. Her eyes sparkled as she looked down at her hand. “How extravagant of you dear,” she said, “to pay fifty dollars for this ring.” Her husband smiled quietly. “Not at all, darling,” he replied. “Just think what I shall save on your glove bills.” m———— eee. Broomstick Bumps. “As a phrenologist” said the pom- pous man, “I could tell you merely by feeling the bumps on your head what kind of man you are.” “I think,” replied the disillusioned one, “you would be more likely, by that method, to tell me what kind of wom- an my wife is.”
