A '•/Mj*'
A government report, issued
April 5. after speaking of power
tests of American coal as found in
the East, says:
"Of scarcely less importance are
the results] obtained in the
use of lignite in the gas-producer
plant. It has been shown that a
gas of higher quality can be ob
tained from lignite than from
high-grade bituminous coals, and

eoals decline in value when meaa
ttredby their ateam raiaing power
they increase in value aa fuel for
the ges-produeer. These inveati*
gptiona bate been of inestimable
unlike in showing how the large
fceda of lignite found in many of
the Western states may be flfaBt*
aMy utilised. It has alao bien
demonstrated that producer gas
can be used advantageoualy in
^bnrninjg cl^y products and in many
Gther metallurgical operations.

American coals and the slack pro
duced in mining these coals can be
briquetted on a commercial basis.

transportation better. It is poe
sible to briquette anthracite coal
with pitcji and without the addi
tion of any bituminous ooel. Coke

the quality of the briquette is im
proved by the admixture of 20 to
SO per cent, of bituminous coal
stock. Several new. binding sia
terials for coal briquettes were in
vestigated and a few of them
provejl sufficiently satisfactory to
warrant their more extended use.
A number of lignites have have
been briquetted under high pres

materials.
To Treat Grain For Smut.
Take a barrel and put ia from 40
to 45 gallons of water to one of
formaldehyde, standard strength.
Now take two pieces of 4x6 and
lay edgewise on barrel then take
a tub and bore a one-inch hole on
one side of bottom and put a wood
plug from the under side, the plug
being on one side. You can put
the tub on the 4x6 pieces so it will
not cover much of the barrel. Put
into tub one bushel of grain and
dip out of barrel enough of the
solution to cover grain good. Any
wild oats or light seed will then
float on top and can be skimmed
off. PulPout the plug and let
solution run back into barrel.
Have an empty bin to dump
treated in a day and I think is a
good deal more effective than to
sprinkle and shovel the grain and
it saves the solutiop.—J. P. Kluge
Moddy Co.,8. D.
[Care should be take to clean all
sacks used after the grain is treat
ed to clean the drill box and if the
grain is put back in a bin, as the
writer suggests, it should too be
thoroughly cleaned with the solu
tion if it has ever held grain be
fore. It is just as important to
cleanse the receptacle into which
the treated grain is put as it is to
treat the grain
