How big are the coal sheds? If they 

 will not hold three months' winter sup- 

 ply, enlarge them — and keep them full 

 till toward spring. 



Overhaul the heating plant now. Don 't 

 wait for the arrival of frosty nights to 

 decide what changes are needed or 

 that, after all, you will need a new 

 boiler. ■ 



Inquiries on any subject connected 

 with greenhouse heating will be an- 

 swered in this column. It only is neces- 

 sary to state the facts fully, that a 

 proper understanding of the conditions 

 may be had, and to sign full name and 

 address, these latter not for publica- 

 tion. 



GET YOUE COAL NOW. 



''I know several operators in the 

 state of Illinois who last summer were 

 able to run their mines less than three 

 days a week, due to lack of orders, and 

 when winter came they could still op- 

 erate less than three days per week, due 

 to lack of cars," said W. C. Goodnow, 

 the Minneapolis coal man, recently. 

 ' ' Those operators want to dig more coal 

 than they do. Argument will not bring 

 them any more cars in December, but 

 argument^ if based upon common sense, 

 may bring more or^rs during the sum- 

 mer when cars are- plentiful. The op- 

 erator, of course, Would prefer to run 

 his mines full time in the winter when 

 prices are high, but failing in that he 

 wants to increase his summer shipments 

 even though extra business comes at a 

 time when prices are low. And he has 

 more than one reason. The more coal 

 he digs, the less it costs him per ton, 

 but he also has this desire: He wants 

 to line up some good customers, and he 

 wants to take care of them the year 

 round. He knows that every customer 

 will demand more coal in the winter 

 time than in the summer and he knows 

 fully as well that he cannot ship as 

 much coal in the winter as he can in 

 the summer. 



"Then we come to this question of 

 car shortage. It would seem that we 

 certainly had a lesson last winter that 

 should not easily be forgotten. When 

 a car pinch comes we are all apt to 

 sum the whole condition up in one hot 

 sentence against the railroad. That, is a 

 narrow way of looking at the situ- 



Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? 



INSTALL = 



A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— 



" I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you 

 last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. I had my book-keeper compare 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one quarter the amount of 

 this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than 

 the winter before. 



" There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I find that my 

 Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so 

 uniform at all times. 



" My reason for writing you is to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 investigation ?

No loss from sudden drops in 

 temperature if you use the 



Hughson Regulating Valve 



In connection with a steam heating plant. Carry 40 or 

 50 pounds pressure on the boiler and set the valve for 5 

 or 10 pounds— it will do the rest. You'll be free from 

 worry next winter, if you follow this advice: " Install a 

 HuKtaion ReKulatlnc Valve when making your 

 repairs." Ask for our Catalogue, which also shows
