In its efforts to attain comulete
utilization of our forest resources,
the Federal Government has been
making inquiries into the possibilities
of manufacturing wood flour from
sawdust waste.
The flour in question is not the
kind which is converted into fluffy
biscuits or flaky pastry, nor Is it a
substitute for corn meal, although it
looks somewhat like it. This wood
flour is made by grinding dry saw
dust or small wood waste (that of
, pine or spruce is. excellent for the
j purpose) in a cheap mill, similar to
the kind In which corn and rye are
ground. After passing through the
stones and the bolting chest, it Is
sacked or baled for shipment. It is
then worth $12 to $13 per ton.
This flour Is used in making dyna
mite, and acts as the absorbent for
the nitro-glycerine. Dynamite made
with wood flour, as one of the In
gredients Is somewhat Inferior to
that made with infusorial earth, but
it is cheaper. The use of wood flour
in the manufacture of dynamite,
however, It is but a minor use of the
product. The chief use is In the
manufacture of linoleum and xyloite,
both floor coverings that are very
popular for the use in kitchens,
halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants,
and public rooms. It is Impervious
to water and practically fire proof.
It is also used as floor material on
some of the German war vessels, for
it is not liable to take fire or splinter
if hit by shellsT
The manufacture of wood flour is
already an extensive Industry in Eu
rope. Norway has been manufactur
ing for years and exporth thousands
of tons. Germany also is a large
manufacturer. England and France
are extensive buyers. In the United
States the matter of wood flour has
not yet been given much consider
ation. . A few mills in the middle
west and one at Hoaulni. Washine-
ton, are all that have attempted to
transfer their wood waste into wood
flour. The amount of sawdust to be
had In this country, especially in the
Northwest, is unlimited, and lumber
men should welcome this method of
turning their waste into a practical
and profitable product.

A small railroad operating an oil
burning locomotive on the Tahoe na
tional forest, California, had a break
down during the past summer and
burned wood instead of oil for one
day. On this day fifteen fires started
along the right of way. During the
preceding year, only one fire bc
curred near the railroad and it was
not thought that the engine was re

First Aid to the Injured.
Demonstration of the very latest
and best methods of rendering first
aid to the injured on farms and in
sections remote from professional at
tendance, will be another attractive
and valuable feature of the O. A. C.
Short Course. The Demonstrations
will include treatment of various
wounds likely to be received in rural
employments, methods of stanching
the flow of blood, relieving vertigo
and nervous prostration, and hand
ling easily constructed litters for re
moving the Injured persons to more
comfortable quarters. These emer
gency measures will not only be
demonstrated as applied to the more
common forms of injury, but others
of a more general type will be shown
by lantern slides loaued bv the fed
eral department, if they can be
brought here in time.
