It is a space provided under the grate to receive the ashes which are shaken through. 2, It receives the air from the cellar and helps to distribute it uni- forint) to all parts of the fuel Bed. +8. It acts as a chamber in which the in coming cool air from the cellar is heated. If ashes are allowed to ac- cumulate in the ashpit, the air supply will be cut off and the even and complete combustion of the fuel will be hampered. Not only that. . . if the ashpit becomes _ choked up with ashes the grates are very apt to become overheated and warp or break. And it costs money to replace grates. Take my advice, therefore, and keep the ashpit cleaned out. (14) A} - FOR RENT 160 acre farm, choice land, first class buildings. Plowing all done. 15 acres in fall wheat.
