Horse Show viii Be
Fair Feature Again

Because of the success of the horse
show at the last state fair, Secretary
Lea was authorized to hold it again next
season although there was no coliseum
in which to stage it. 1t will be re-
membered that the large tent could moi
hold the people who wished to see this
feature. Secretary Lea earnestly recon
mended the erection OF coliseum to
cost approximately $125,000 and with q
seating capacity of 6,000.
Among the other things recommended
were woman g building to cost 40,000
in which win be housed the art and tex
tile exhibits and rest rooms, fire equip
ment consisting of Ford chemical fire
engine and two hand chemicals at a cos,
of about $4,000, and as an inducement
for making the fair still more attractive
he urged the appropriation of $4,000
for premiums instead of $4,000.

The changes were decided on before

WATCH THE FURNACE.
Aggie Heat Expert Gives Pointers on
Fuel and Drafts.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 27.-Sugges-
lions for handling the furnace are
given by Jacob Lund, superintendent
of the heat and power plant at the
Agricultural college. Mr.. Lund gives
some instructions to be followed in
case the furnace gives trouble or con-
sumes more coal than it should.
THE question of fuel is of utmost
Importance says MI. Lund. I'm the
west soft coal is generally used and
this requires large air passages in the
furnace. This coal deposits much SCOT
and consequently the air passages
must be kept clean, or at least fairly
of air requires some judgment. The
ashes should always be kept out of
the pit for otherwise the CRATES are apt
to be destroyed by becoming too hot.
TT is also economical to charge the
furnace frequently with comparatively
small amounts of coal as otherwise the
fuel bed will become too thick and
large amount of coal will be driven off
in the form of unconSumed gases. This
condition probably has been eXper
fenced by nearly every one who has
fired a furnace. Gas accumulates and
sometimes even causes small eXplOS-
ions.
Cover the fire with one and a half
to two inches of fresh coal, or put a
thin layer on one side and much more
on the other, so that the air passing
through the hot Goals will mingle with
the gases that are distilled from the
green coal. The proper regulation of
the damper has much to do with the
economical way of burning coal
Under general conditions nut coal
gives the most satisfaction in the fur
mace. Screening or fine coal packs
too closely. Lump coal usually forms
a fire that is too open for the best
results
