Coal rates from the southern niinois 

 and Indiana mines to Chicago will be 

 advanced from 8 to 12 cents per ton, 

 about June 1, unless the IlUnois rail- 

 road commission, which has already start- 

 ed an investigation, intervenes. In this 

 case the advance will be felt at once 

 by the consumer, as it will be added to 

 the ^ost of production at the mines. 



A RANGE IN NEW MEXICO. 



I expect to build three houses. Houses 

 No. 1 and No. 2, each 27x100, will run 

 north and south and will be connected. 

 There will be two and one-half feet of 

 concrete and three and one-half feet of 

 glass in the side walls, and a glass, par- 

 tition between the two houses. House 

 No. 3 will run east and west and will be 

 27x60. It will have three feet of con- 

 crete and three feet of glass for side 

 walls, and glass in the east end. The 

 west end will adjoin the boiler house. In 

 house No. 1, the west one of the two con- 

 nected houses, I will grow carnations. In 

 house No. 2, I should like to grow palms 

 for decorating, and also ferns, some roses, 

 smilax, etc. In house No. 3, I should like 

 to grow sweet peas, callas, lilies, mums, 

 geraniums, and plants that will stand a 

 low temperature. I shall have a propa- 

 gating house, five and one-half feet wide, 

 on the north side, with a partition be- 

 tween it and the main bouse. 



Please inform me how to pipe my 

 houses. For house No. 1, I wish to use 

 2-inch pipes and, if advisable, I would 

 use manifolds; I have these on hand. I 

 wish to place all return pipes in the four 

 walks and have the center walk without 

 any pipes. I shall have semi-solid beds, 

 about eighteen inches high. Our average 

 winter temperature is 40 degrees above 

 zero. Our days are warm, but the nights 

 become cold toward morning. The cold- 

 est weather I have seen here was 14 de- 

 grees below zero, but this did not last 

 more than two nights. For house No. 1, 

 I want a temperature of 50 to 55 de- 

 grees; for house No. 2, 55 to 60 degrees; 

 for house No. 3, about 40 degrees, when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees be- 

 low zero.
