burned so economically in the furnaces 

 of boilers in its original state as when in 

 the form of briquettes. Briquettes made 

 exclusively with anthracite coal burn too 

 slowly, and it is ailvisable to mix a cer- 

 tain proportion of bituniinoua coal to 

 overcome this objection. Up to the pres- 

 ent, no kiml of agglomerating material 

 other than pitch or resin, or a mixture 

 of these, Las given satisfactory results. 

 Briquettes made with resiu aloue become 

 soft ami lose their shape in the fire; 

 those having a mixture of four per cent 

 of pitch and one and one-half per cent 

 of resin give better results. It is of 

 interest to note that the total output of 

 briquettes in the Unitctl Kingdom in 

 1906 amounted to 1,513,220 tons, while 

 Germany produced 14,500,851 tons of 

 this fuel in the same year. At an English 

 works making 102 V4 tons of briquettes 

 per day of ten hours, the total cost, in- 

 cluding labor, materials, fuel and stores, 

 interest and depreciation, works out to 

 $2.31 per ton. 



LINCOLN, NEB. 



The State Fair. 



The display of greenhouse products at 

 the state fair, which closed September 

 10, was without exception the best that 

 has been stage<l at Nebraska 's fair for 

 years. Five carloads of palms, ferns, 

 decorative and blooming plants were 

 shown, coming from Simanton & Pence, 

 Falls city; Dole Floral Co., Beatrice; 

 Edward Williams, Grand Island; L. 

 Henderson, Omaha, and C. H. Green, 

 Fremont. 



The judging was done by I. M. Eoman, 

 8uperinten<lent of the Joslyn- Conserva- 

 tories, Omaha, and was done to the satis- 

 faction of all the exhibitors. 



The diploma, the most coveted prize 

 offered, was captured by C. H. Green, 

 who took eleven firsts, one second and 

 one fourth, out of a possible thirteen. 

 Henderson and Williams were next in 

 both quality and quantity, each having 

 entries for the entire class and good 

 enough to have won at any of our past 

 fairs. 



The Dole Floral Co. exhibit, while not 

 quite so good, was well grown and very 

 creditable. Simanton & Pence made their 

 first exhibit, and put up an exceedingly 

 well grown lot of stock. They said they 

 did not expect to get anything but ex- 

 perience, but nevertheless they did nicely 

 and, with more exfierience, they will 

 make the oM-timers look to their laurels. 



C. H. Green did not show in the cut
