The Travis Rocker 

 Grate Method 



Of handling cinders 

 and ashes under a coal 

 fire appeals to every 

 fireman. There is ad- 

 vancement in' rocker 

 grate construction and the ordinary 

 roller type is no longer good enough. 

 Our methods are undisputed. IJse a 

 cheaper grade of fuel. Use less of it 

 by an evenly regulated draft. Ordi- 

 nary slack can be used successfully 

 where other grates fail. Air admitted through each opening, properly regulated, causes a poor grade of coal to burn up close. It 

 does not accumulate, because there is less bulk, and it becomes brittle and rattles through the grates. If you do not believe this can 

 be done, just visit a plant where the Travis Rocker 



Grates are in use. Absolutely the only trrate that will ^^ ^ ^ ■ ^^ aa^ Bbbi a. IB tf^ A

Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse beating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 oquipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special

SMOKELESS COAL AT CHICAGO. 



•'Last week smokeless coal showed 

 <lecided signs of easing up," says the 

 Black Diamond in its September 12 

 review of the Chicago market. "With- 

 in the last weeTi;, the big buyers have 

 bought heavily at $1.40 a ton. Actual 

 sales, within the last week, at that 

 price have covered about 18,000 tons 

 of coal. The price was paid delivery 

 during October and November. The big 

 buyers evidently do not expect any 

 drop in smokeless prices. At the same 

 time, there has been a general increase 

 in inquiries, especially for spot coal, 

 while the movement on contract has 

 been uninterrupted. It is true that an 

 indiscreet shipment by one large com- 

 pany resulted in overstocking the 

 market, btkt the influence was not 

 .serious. Some reports are that smoke- 

 less coal is going at $1.30 to $1.35, 

 but the coal is off grade." 



A PARTITION IS NECESSAHT. 



We wish to heat a small greenhouse, 

 'JO X 50 feet, running north and south. 

 We expect to use a Wilks hot water 

 boiler. Please instruct us how to pipe 

 the house so as to have a temperature 

 of 60 degrees in the north half and 45 

 to 50 degrees in the south half, without 

 a partition. The house has three feet 

 of glass in the sides and one end is 

 ^lass. The temperature in this part of 

 Mississippi does not often drop as low 

 as 20 degrees above zero. The benches 

 are two and one-half feet high. Should 

 the top of the boiler be on a level
