THE READERS' CORNER. 



Coal and Firemen. 



Ed. Review: — In the last issue of the 

 Review I note the remarks of Gesler & 

 Urury about coal consumption. Tell 

 thtmto quit burning slack coal unless it 

 is Pocahontas slack and they will, with 

 a good fireman, one who understands his 

 business, cut down their coal bill one- 

 half. Run of mine Pocahontas coal, if 

 one understands how to fire with it, is the 

 best coal for greenhouse use; I know 

 this from experience. I have been burn- 

 ing it for three years as night fire- 

 man, and would not fire for anyone unless 

 they used Pocahontas coal. It took me 

 about two weeks to learn how to use 

 Pocahontas run of mine. I had two 

 boilers, same make each, eighty-four 3- 

 inch flues sixteen feet long; could be 

 connected or disconnected according to 

 weather, and 45,000 feet of glass, or 

 nineteen houses. Had to hold thirty-five 

 to forty pounds of steam steadily and 

 could make fire last from three-quarters 

 of an hour to one and a half, and even 

 to two hours, according to weather with 

 Pocahontas coal. (Prefer some lump 

 mixed with slack.) A firm can save more 

 coal and more money, no matter what 

 kind of weather, warm or cold, if the 

 night man does not have anything to do 

 but to tend to his fires and houses, which 

 is enough and what he is really hired to 

 do. But many places have the night man 

 do some potting, boxing, cutting of iiow- 

 ers to get an early start, wash pots, do 

 disbudding and often get in soil, etc. 

 By doing this he will naturally neglect 

 his houses and fire also. For instance, 

 if I think my fire needs tending I go 

 to see; perhaps it will last about a half 

 hour longer, but to avoid another extra 

 trip I will fix it then, thus losing, say, 

 six to twelve shovels of coal. Who is 

 out? Nobody but the firm. That is the 

 ease in many places today, and then they 

 wonder why they need so much coal. 

 He gets these little jobs, as the boss 

 says, to keep awake. A good man will 

 never sleep and neglect his fires and 

 houses. I know I won't and I never 

 hear anv complaint about the houses or 

 coal bill. M. K. S.

 nard & Co., Chicago, last week it was
