.sumew’ 7! BOOK YOUR SALE man 5 Pm DEMANDS ” EXCEED sum The experimental work which was carried on under the (Direction 0113?. MM flannel, head of the Mines Department in regard to the proper manufacture of peat has proven auc- cesstul that there are now two pri- pate concerns producing peat now, at Armed. Ont., and Famham. Que. and the output does not begin to meet the demand. While coal Is becoming dearer all the time. peat should become cheap- er. There is hope of reduced freight charges and also of deV'rsing cheaper methods of manufiacture. Inquiry has been made of hundreds of people who have used the peat made acâ€"' cording to the method meommended by the Department of Mines and the factory for grates and. also good for cooking. Some find it not so satis- iactory for furnaces. but the trouble seems to be to educate the users of peat to shut off the draught. It is a fuel that leaves no clinkers, burns with ~ great heat and will burn up too quickly unless the draught is checked. 'AGE an COSTLY EKPI‘Zlftl'hilffimwl‘~ It is said that nearly a million aoliars was thrown away on experiâ€" ments in the manufacture of peat in Ganada by people who did not an- nerstand how to dry the fuel proper- ly. Theee were usnally by the em- ployment of great pressure in order to eliminate the moisture. It 'was on- ly when tho Government commis- sion was sent over to Germany, Swe- ien, Russia, and the other peat us; ing countries the sun and wind take the moisture out. After the government had shown the practicability of producing a. good quality of peat at a saleable price, it was left to pfiVato enter- prise to continue she work. The peat is now 50m in Ottawa at $5 a ton. or $3 a ton on the car at Alfred. The difierence of $2 is made up of charge 0! 90 cents a ton for freight and the cost of distribqu and the dealer’s ‘profit. \ As has been said, the demand can- i not be met at the present time. As 13: as the plant at - lfred is con- cerned, the output will be consider- ably increased next season, by malt. ing an earlier start and getting “the machinery “tuned up” sooner, and also probably by using electric light. at night and working 24 hours a. day for the hundred days which is about the limit of time during which the manufacture can be well carried on in a, cool climate like this. BIG POSSIBEPI‘IES, There is another splendid possibill‘ t.- in connection with the peat (mim- try that has been worked out sueâ€"i woefully in Germany and Sire-den, and which will no doubt be realized gas and. indirectly, electrical energy hem in time. It is the production of At ihe fuel testing plant in Ottawa the mines department has an 80-13. p. gas producer engine which is operat- ed from the gas produced from the peat. Engines‘up to 25 h. p. can be run successfully in the Same way. Dr. Haanel states that there is no reason why sections of the central peat producing parts of Canada, where water power is not. available, could not obtain power by the sim- ple establishment of a series of gas- producer engines. Electriral energy could be d'aVeloped for ligfit and pow- er pal-poms, {or factoriei in town. for mechanical operations on the ned as far as forty mileS. The farmâ€" ers of any district, he added. could with a. capital of about $7,000 enact a plant for the manufacture of peat to provide them- with peat, and a further outlay would enable them to provide power as well. Power thus iewloped locally would, 33 compar- ed with water power, save all the overhead charges and also the loss in Hammisulcn. In Germany, he states, power light produced in this way are “Edmund Meredi .,,h K. C., of Lon- 'don, will be crown prosecutor in the Beemer murder case at Woodstock next week. 5? Stewan Psi.
