a peat bog at Alfred miles from Ottawa An expert peat engin eer was brought out from Swe den and placed in charge The plant turned out about blocks of peat fuel in the sum mers of and 1911 at a cost of about S3 a ton laid down at the railway station at Alfred Part of this output was sold to householders in Ottawa at a ton It was so satisfactory that the small quantity available could rtot begin to supply the demand The plant and bog were sold in to a Toronto capitalist who put in improved machinery but the concern went into liquid ation in the fail of 1914 after having manufactured a little over tons of peal fuel The cause of the liquidation was the inability to procure further cap ital due to war It was sold under liquidators sale in Octo ber to Peterborough terosls who it is intend to resume operations Toronto in the natural course of events would obtain peat fuel from Holland peat bog which is the largest in Canada and is situated at Bradford on the Grand Trunk Railway some miles distant Its area is acres of whipli acres is overlain by peat from to feet in and is therefore cap able of developing on a large scale by machinery The portion contains tons of peat fuel having per cent mois ture and is therefore equivalent to over Ions of anthra cite coal Many Other Fuel is not only use to which this very useful substance can be put The lower grades of wheat which are not so humified are- used as a fertilizer under the name of moss litter A byproduct of this is peat mull which has important properties and extensively used for packing plants and fruits The most economical way of producing power from peat is by roasting it in R producergas plant to get fuel by means of a gas engine and a dy namo generates electricity which may be transmitted anywhere in ordinary The gas produced may also bo conducted great distances through mains just as coal gas is In our cities and used for heating and light ing or fuel purposes Powdered icaf is coming to the front rapidly for firing boilers for use in making cement and for metal lurgical purposes in fact wher ever a great heat is required An exceedingly important by product obtained in the produc tion of gas from peal is
