Home Interesting figures on the cost of burning limestone are furnish- ed by C. L. Goodling, the farm super- intendent of the Pennsylvania State College school of agriculture. Last fall a lime pit, 30 feet in diameter and 12 feet high, was constructed on the college farm. Beside the lumber used in the base, which was 18 inches thick, the pit contained 58.66 tons of coal snd 307,964 pounds of stone, The cost of building the pit and bnrning the lime is given as follows, Coal - . $ 64.35 Laying foundation - 5.08 Hauling coal and wood - 24.41 Putting coal on stack ~ 5.46 Breaking stones on stack - 67.13 h— $166.37 Team labor was charged at forty cenls rer bour and labor seventeen and one half cents per hour; coal, $2.25 per ton at railroad station, Assuming a good burp, this amount of stone should make 2000 bushels of lime. Exclusive of the cost of quarry- ing the stone, the cost per bushel for burcing amounts to 8.083. The cost of quarrying is eo variable that it wae thought advisable not to include it In the cost of burning, A cost of $.088 per bushel for burn ing would hardly be justified where one has to pay for all labor. It should be remembered however, that the building and buroing can be done al a time when labor Is not busy, in wo'ch case labor should not be charged as a cash outlay, It took about a week for the heat iu the stack to become uniformly dies tributed, The highest temperature of 840 F. was noted six days after light- log. $y OVE BR SAI LR Sunshine Oak With L ich fire box , just as ho Dw: for selling is that a Monitor dni furnace has been ivstalied in the Tape.

The story is typical of a certain type of business man who will never get ahead in spite of his perseverance. “Frank Emerson sas not a brilliant man, and he knew it,” says the writer. “Industry and fidelity rather than un- usual ability had won for him a posi- tion of responsibility and a salary of $3,000 a year. His own frugality and the excellent management of his wife had given them their home and had provided Mabel with a college educa- tion. He had worked for the Acme mills for a quarter of a century, He knew the trade as he knew his own street and was familiar with every de- tail of credit and billing and shipping. Experienced had ripened his judgment, and in his way he was a valuable man. But he did not bring business to the Acme mills, and it is the business get- ters who count in the crises.
