it to 40 or 42 degrees in this part of 

 Kansas, where the outside temperature 

 sometimes drops to 15 or 20 degrees 

 below zero. Would not two runs of 

 2 14 -inch pipe, with four returns of 1%- 

 inch, or eight returns in all, be suffi- 

 cient f S. M. 



To heat a house 12x110 feet, for 

 growing violets, use two 2^-inch flow 

 pipes and four 2-inch returns. The use 

 of eight l^^-inch returns, as suggested, 

 would give even more radiating surface 

 than desired, but the placing of 1%- 

 inch pipe in a house 110 feet long is 

 not recommended, unless the returns 

 are several feet above the boiler, or a 

 generator is used. 



THE FUEL MABEJIT. 



The fuel market is not stiffening as 

 «arly as some of the dealers thought 

 it would, but there is no disposition to 

 make inducements in any part of the 

 market, least of all in -the better 

 grades of coal. The anthriicite situa- 

 tion remains unchanged. The trade 

 foresees a shortage, and the domestic 

 ■sizes are already in light supply at 

 first hands; deliveries are slow. Even 

 the better grades of steam coal, such 

 AS many growers use, are in a position 

 where a premium is being asked. The 

 lower grades only are in large supply. 

 In the sections where bituminous coals 

 are used the florists are buying freely 

 now, A good many had held oflf be- 

 cause they were asked more money 

 than they paid for their fuel last sea- 

 son, but these have now given up the 

 hope of a lower market and are filling 

 their bins and contracting for their 

 season's supply. While the market is 

 gradually becoming more active, there 

 has as yet been no change in prices. 

 All the bituminous coals are selling for 

 a few cents a ton more than they were 

 at this time last year, but the coal trade 

 to a man insists that the advance to 

 the consumer is not so great as the 

 increase in the cost of production. Be- 

 cause of the advance in prices there 

 is more than the usual tendency to feel 

 around before placing orders, but the 

 business is now coming in with fair 

 freedom, as no grower cares to go much 

 closer to cold weather without a good 

 supply of coal in his bunkers.
