The agricultural exhibitions will soon b* on all over Canada, and will be at- tended hy hundreds of ihuu.iinds of There is no reason to doubt that these exhibitions aerve a very useful purpose, and under wise management their usefuloeii should constantly in- creaae. But it in a matter r perennial wonderment why the nunagerf* of these exhibitions suffer their pttrons to be de- . frauded out of their bird earned money j by men who have made it a matter of ROBBING THE COAL PILE. Smok That Goes Up th Chimney It Fuel Thrown Away. For the beueOt of any one who may not see the analogy between a robbed coal pile uud a smoking chimney it may be briefly and simply explained. The visible part in smoke Is nearly all carbon, either as soot or cinder, and carbon is the principal combustible part of coal I. e., tbe useful part, the part capable of yielding beat. Carbon completely burned forms an Invisible gas, carbon dioxide; therefore when- ever the gases from a stack show black they contain carbon, which indi- cates that complete combustion has not taken place In the boiler furnace. In other words, all of tbe available beat in tbe coal has not been realized It is the same as though the corre- sponding part of tbe coal fed into tbe furnace had been thrown away, for. although it has passed througb tbe furnace, it has been thrown away up tbe stack beyond recovery- ! this, ben, so very different from robbing the coal pile? Tbe owner who through Ignorance allows conditions to exist which are not favorable to tbe most economical operation of his boiler furnaces, al- though he is unwittingly robbing him- self, is nevertheless stealing from his own coal pile.
