Even with a very small fire box, pea coal can be successfully burned. “There is another argument in fav- or of burning pea coal, besides the patriotic motive of helping out the coal situation. That is, that pea coal considerably cheaper than nut coal, and althot a little more must be burned to give the same amount of heat in the range, nevertheless the total cost over a period of six months will be considerably less with pea coal than with nut coal. “Last winter a good many people had to learn how to burn soft coal in their furnaces. They found that when soft coal was the only thing they could get, by careful study of it they could find out a way to burn it. The same thing is true of small sizes of hard coal. At my home for several years we have had no coal for the kitchen stove except pea coal, and during the late fall and early spring when only a | small amount of heat is called for from the furnace, I have used pea coal in the furnace to save the egg coal. This gives a slower fire, and probably could not be burned by peo- ple during the very coldest weather in the middle of the winter, but the weather is milder it could used very successfully in a because you can keep a low fire In a furnace, keep it over night more eas- ily with pea coal than with stove or €egg. 1 believe that a ple who will try this pea coal this year because of necessity, will never change back to the use of nut coal.” great many peo- GOING TO EAST NORTHFIELD.
