Woodlots can %Woodlots can provide i more than a picturesque view in the autumn. For wise farm managers, each acre of forested land can vide one cord of wood per 4 indefinitely. That's CAI I, fuel that many rural people find useful during winter. "Conscientious manage- ment can ensure a healthy stand of trees," says Helmut @l Sp¥eser, Ontario Ministry of § Agriculture and Food energy management specialist. "Improving your woodlot means thinning the trees fl every fall when insects are i not bothersome and the §| wylerbrush is dead and dry. 4 The trees should be marked 'dl when they still have foliage 4 for easy identification." Some trees should not be i felled because of their his- fl toric value or rarity. For dl example, such as white oak, Agerican chestnut, and elm, A350 £ (a 2a VEE ITT AR ER RTE TT WRT Ai FIRS if they are in good condition, should be preserved. Keeping the natural varie- ties of the woodlot maintains the normal soil balance and ~ helps prevent disease. In other words, do not strip the forest of one tree variety. Scrub growth such as crab- apple and ironwood should be cleared. Trees with large crows or short trunks are also considered nuisances. Diseased or stunted trees are prime candidates for the chainsaw. .Cut crooked, leaning trees and those struck by lightning. With proper thinning, plenty of light is made available to the remaining trees so that they will grow quickly. Woodlot management ensures better quality of your timber. "Use standard safety pre- cautions when felling trees," advises Mr. Spieser. "Take a helper along to assist in clearing brush for the tree's unobstructed fall." Deciduous hardwoods, such as rock elm, white oak, beech, sugar maple, and shagbark hickory are the best for producing heat in a provide fuel stove or fireplace. Less popular are trembling aspen, Manitoba maple, white pine, basswood and white spruce. Green wood should be cut, split and stacked in a covered pile to dry a year ahead.

This is called the resistance- value or R-value of insula- tion. The higher the R-value the more effective the insulation. Insulating material should be purchased according to the R-value, not just the thickness. One inch of glass "TOP DRAWERS has a beautiful way of saying ...

R-values are clearly stated on insulation wrappers and containers. There are many insulation materials on the market. Flexible insulation made from glass fibre or mineral wool is the most common. It comes in four-foot-long batts or in blankets cut to length by the installer. Both are fire and moisture resistant and easy to install. The R-value for flexible insula- tion is 2.9 to 4.0 per inch, according to the type used. Loose-fill insulation is available in glass fibre, mineral wool, cellulose fibre, and vermiculite. This insulation is sold by the bag or bale, can be poured into unfinished attics or blown into the attic space or wall cavity. Depending on the insulation type and method used R-values vary between 2.1 and 3.6 per inch. Rigid-board insulation is used in the insulation of basement walls and in new construction. R-values range between 3.4 and 6.0 per inch, but great care must be taken in installation or the insulation may be a fire hazard. Rigid-board and foamed insulations must be covered by interior ceiling or wall finishes acceptable to the Ontario Building Code. Foamed insulation is the new insulating material. This method applies foam inside the finished wall and attic cavities. Special equip- ment and highly skilled contractors are needed for this process. R-values for foamed insulation vary between 2.5 and 2.8 per inch. Recommended R-values for each area of the house are the following: for ceil- ings - R-28; for walls, R-12 (except for solid masonry), R-8 if less than 50 percent of basement walls are above ground, R-12 for more than 50 percent. Cathedral ceilings, built over unheated garages or unheated crawl spaces, should be insulated to R-20. Home insulation is a one- time investment which pays long-term dividends in money saved, energy consumed and your comfort.
