Oiled  Peat  In  Minnesota 
We  have  had  several  articles  on  the 
use  of  peat  as  fuel.  In  the  cases  thus  far 
reported  the  peat  has  been  sun  dried  or 
ground  fine  and  then  pressed  into 
briquettes.  It  has  made  fair  fuel  when 
handled  in  either  way,  but  pow  we  hear 
of  a  new  plan  of  soaking  it  in  oil.  The 
following  is  taken  from  Northwest  Home¬ 
stead  of  Minneopalis.  Minn. : 
It  looks  like  well-rotted  cow  manure, 
but  it  furns  furiously  in  furnace,  stove 
or  fireplace.  It  makes  a  tremendous  heat, 
more,  ton  for  ton,  it  is  claimed,  than  hard 
coal.  It  leaves  very  little  ashes  and  can 
be  prepared  at  very  low  cost.  Maybe  it 
will  help  to  solve  our  fuel  problem. 
The  stuff  is  peat,  ordinary  bog  peat,  of 
which  there  are  said  to  be  nine  billion 
tons  in  Minnesota.  II.  A.  Arnold  of  Min¬ 
neapolis  last  Spring  rented  a  tract  of 
peat  land  in  Anoka  County  and  put  it 
into  potatoes.  The  peat  farmer,  almost 
without  exception,  uses  tractors  in  his 
farming  operations,  and  the  oil  companies 
are  glad  to  haul  the  oil  and  gasoline  out 
to  his  farm  ;  in  fact,  they  practically  give 
him  a  tank  wagon.  They  haul  out  the 
tank  full  of  gasoline  and  lubricating  oil 
and  leave  it  there  until  it  is  about  empty. 
Then  the  farmer  calls  them  up,  and  they 
haul  out  another  load  and  take  back  the 
empty  tank. 
Of  course  there  is  more  or  less  residue 
from  the  crank  case  of  the  tractor,  which 
is  usually  drained  every  night.  Mr.  Arn¬ 
old  noted  that  this  oil,  dumped  on  dry 
peat,  spread  rapidly  in  it.  and  he  tried 
some  of  it  in  the  stove.  It  made  a  very 
hot  fire. 
He  has  a  fine  home,  with  a  hot-water 
heating  plant,  a  big  fireplace,  and  a  small 
stove  in  the  basement  laundry,  so  he  took 
home  some  of  it  in  empty  fertilizer  sacks. 
It  made  a  fine  fire  in  the  fireplace,  gave 
equally  good  results  in  the  laundry  stove, 
and  did  first-rate  in  the  hot  water  heating 
plant,  so  he  arranged  with  the  oil  com¬ 
pany  to  haul  out  to  his  farm  a  tank  wag¬ 
on  full  of  their  cheapest  crude  oil,  costing 
between  4  and  5  cents  a  gallon,  about  $13 
a  ton. 
This  he  dumped  into  an  empty  stock 
water  tank.  Then  he  shoveled  in  dry 
peat  in  chunks  just  as  it  comes  from  the 
plow.  He  left  these  chunks  in  the  oil 
only  two  or  three  minutes,  then  raked 
them  out,  sacked  them  up  and  put  them 
in  his  basement. 
The  oil  which  covers  the  outside  of  a 
chunk  of  peat  gradually  is  absorbed 
throughout  the  peat,  constituting  about 
25  per  cent  of  the  total  weight,  so  that 
the  ton  of  oil-treated  peat  cost  him.  for 
oil,  between  $3  and  $4.  He  invited  his 
neighbors,  a  few  of  them  at  a  time,  and 
showed  them  the  fire  in  the  fireplace,  in 
the  furnace  and  in  the  stove.  They  all 
wanted  some,  and  he  sold  it  to  them  at 
$17  a  ton,  which,  he  says,  makes  him  a 
good  profit,  and  according  to  test  at  the 
College  of  Mines,  University  of  Minne¬ 
sota,  gives  more  heat  units  than  an  equal 
weight  of  anthracite  coal. 
Mr.  Arnold  says  that  a  number  of 
farmers  in  the  peat  territory  of  Anoka 
County  are  buying  oil  and  treating  peat 
by  this  same  method,  using  it  for  heating 
and  cooking  in  their  stoves  and  furnaces. 
The  stuff  is  greasy  to  handle,  but  is  no 
dirtier  than  soft  coal.  It  ignites  readily 
and  when  handled  with  a  shovel  of  course 
does  not  necessitate  soiling  the  hands 
at  all. 
Mr.  Arnold  says  that  in  Summer  good 
dry  peat  will  absorb  a  low  grade  of  fuel 
oil  readily,  but  that  in  the  Winter  this 
very  thick,  heavy  oil  will  probably  have 
to  be  heated  some  at  least  before  peat 
will  absorb  it. 
The  plan  probably  would  not  be  of 
great  value  on  wet  peat,  such  as  that  in 
ordinary  bogs,  but  much  of  the  peat  in 
Anoka  County  is  well  drained  and  con¬ 
tains  a  comparatively  small  amount  of 
moisture.  Plowing  it  and  disking  it 
causes  it  to  dry  out  considerably  more, 
and  it  is  quite  possible  that  here  at  least 
is  the  foundation  of  an  industry  that  will 
grow  and  perhaps  in  time  make  Minne¬ 
sota  independent  of  outside  sources  (with 
the  exception  of  a  little  oil,  at  least)  for 
its  fuel.
