The value of peat for fuel varies greatly, like its other qualities. Only those kinds which can be cut out in the shape of coherent blocks, or which admit of being arti- ficially formed into firm masses, are of use in ordinary stoves and furnaces. The powdery or friable surface peat, which has been disintegrated by frost and exposure, is ordinarily useless as fuel, unless it be rendered coherent by some mode of preparation. Unripe peat which con- tains much undecomposed moss or grass roots, whi...ch is therefore very light and porous, is in general too bulky to make an effective heating material before subjection to mechanical treatment. The best peat for burning, is that which is most free from visible fiber or undecomposed vegetable matters, which has therefore a homogeneous brown or black as- pect, and which is likewise free from admixture of earthy PEAT AS FUEL. 93 substances in the form of sand or clay. Such peat is unc- tuous when moist, shrinks greatly on drying, and forms hard and heavy masses when dry.
