FBOVIDINa MOBE HEAD BOOM. 



I have one house that is twelve feet 

 high to the ridge and I must put on a 

 new roof this summer. I want to in- 

 ■crease the height to sixteen feet to the 

 ridge, so as to get more head room. 

 My heating system now is all right, 

 giving me 70 degrees in the daytime 

 and 50 degrees at night. Will it be 

 necessary to put in more radiation it 

 the roof is carried higher, or how much 

 flhall I lose by the change? 



L. C. P. 



The question is hardly explicit enough 

 to warrant a definite answer, but the 

 amount of heat required b^ a green- 

 house is nearly in proportion to the 

 amount of glass surface and the change 

 proposed will probably increase the 

 amount in the house in question about 

 twenty per cent. If the present plant 

 is working up to its capacity, it will 

 probably be necessary to add at- least 

 fifteen per cent to the radiating sur- 

 face now in the house. 



THE FXTEL MABEET. 



One of the authorities in the coal 

 trade, in its last issue, says: 



"The last two or three weeks have 

 witnessed a decided betterment in the 

 bituminous industry. It is not so much 

 that demand has increased greatly or 

 that mine prices are higher, though both 

 of these factors enter into the situation 

 to some extent. It is, rather, that the 

 undertone of the market has changed 

 for the better, from a combination of 

 causes, and operators are encouraged 

 to take a firmer position in negotiating

for the sale of their product. In brief, 

 it is becoming less of a buyer's mi&rket 

 and after several months of adverse 

 conditions the seller is gradually gain- 

 ing th.e upper hand. 



"The most helpful incident in the 

 general situation is the cleaning up of 

 demurrage coal. This has practically 

 disappeared. There are only a few scat- 

 tering lots of this class of tonnage to 

 be had at present and they are being 

 disposed of at figures which seem high 

 in comparison with those prevailing 

 early in July. ^ 



"The demand for anthracite becomes^;^ 

 more vigorous as the summer advances 

 and the volume of unfilled orders on the 



books of the producing interests is 

 steadily increasing. There will be long 

 delay in filling all the orders for domes- 

 tic sizes, but on steam sizes the market 

 is as yet well supplied. ' ' 



A TWO-BOOM OBEENHbUSE. 



I am building a greenhouse, 32x100, 

 running east and west. Both the gables 

 will be glass, with a door in each gable. 

 The walls will be six feet high, and 

 will consist of three feet of concrete 

 ''and three feet of glass. The boiler room 

 will be at the northwest corner. I 

 should like to get advice as to how to 

 heat it to 60 degrees in zero weather.

by installing The Martin Rockincf Grate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal boma— it doesn't go into the 

 ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Reinbenr, Emll Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Bros.. 

 Adam Zender, Sinner Bros., Albert Dickinson Seed Co., and many others. 

 They will tell you to order the Martin Rooldnc Grate for the new boilers 

 to.be put in this season. Write for catalogue and prices.
