TRAVIS GREENHOUSE ROCKER GRATES 



We make grates only and can give you Rocker Grate service. Note the mash lingers, and all air spaces opened evenly. 

 We furnish them for sectional, firebox, marine and bricked-in boilers. Are strictly self-contained and can be installed 

 by the fireman without changing the furnace in' any way. Do not neglect your grates. Their condition is just as 

 important as that of the boiler they are under. Our grates will save you any amount of trouble, valuable time and 

 coal. We guarantee you will have complete control of draft. Give size" of furnace and we will quote you prices.

frame, and two 2-inch returns along the 

 other side. This should give 50 de- 

 grees during the spring months. To 

 heat both greenhouse and hotbed the 

 boiler should be rated for 750 square 

 feet of radiation. 



VARIOUS FUELS. 



Ih The Review for February 15, I 

 saw a description of how to make and 

 set an oil burner. I am thinking of 

 trying one this winter. Will any one 

 with experience in that line be kind 

 enough to tell me if he thinks it will 

 be profitable f I have a tubular boiler 

 4x16% feet, with forty S^^-inch flues. 

 I have been burning hard wood slabs, 

 and last winter my wood bill was just 

 $1 per day through the season. I will 

 have to pay 8 cents a gallon for crude 

 oil f. 0. b. Chicago, and my location is 

 the northeastern part of Michigan. My 

 house contains 2,000 feet of glass. I 

 have been trying soft coal, but this will 

 cost me thirty-five to fifty per cent 

 more than slabs. I will be thankful 

 for any information on the subject. 



J. H. C. 



The price paid for hard wood slabs is 

 not given, but it is hardly likely that 

 in northern Michigan they will cost as 

 much as crude oil at the price named, 

 and the freight on the oil from Chicago 

 will fully equal the cost of the labor of 

 firing with the slabs. 



With careful attention to the firing, 

 the cost of soft coal as fuel should 

 not be more than $1 per day for 2,000 

 square feet of glass in a boiler of the 

 proper size, but th« one in use is large
