in the west, the output of operating 

 mines has been easily placed and there 

 has been no pressure to dispose of coal 

 on track on which demurrage would be 

 piling up. Usually in summer it has 

 been a problem what to do with coal 

 on track, but this year supply and de- 

 mand have been fairly balanced. If 

 this has been the case during the hot 

 weather, when consumption is at its 

 lightest, it requires no far-seeing man 

 to make an accurate prediction of what 

 will happen as soon as cold weather 

 arrives. There is bound to be a coal 

 shortage and a car shortage this au- 

 tumn. 



Forehanded florists are not waiting 

 for fuel dealers to urge purchases; 

 they are placing contracts and are fol- 

 lowing up the coal man, urging him to 

 make more rapid deliveries. Blit there 

 are many growers who are not fore- 

 handed and who are neglecting the fuel 

 supply. For such there will be many 

 anxious days in midwinter. 



If there ever was a year when pru- 

 dence demands the maintenance of full 

 bunkers, this is the year.

It will save both money and

 not afford any trap but a " Detroit."

STEAM FOR TWO HOUSES. 



Will you please let me know what 

 piping will be required to heat, with 

 steam, two houses, each 25x100 feet, 

 running cast and west? One house is 

 for carnations and the other for roses, 

 ferns, etc. These houses will be fifteen 

 feet to the ridge, with glass in both 

 ends and three feet of glass in the 

 south wall. If 1 use a 2%-inch main, 

 how many 1 14 inch returns will be need- 

 ed to heat these houses to 50 and 60 de- 

 grees, respectively, in this part of Mon-
