HEATING. 



I have three houses and a sash lean-to. 

 One, 18x60, I would like to heat to 65 

 degrees at night during zero weather. 

 Another, 12x60, and one 11x60, with 

 6-foot sash lean-to added without parti- 

 tion, I would like to heat to 50 degrees 

 at night in zero weather. Hou-cs run 

 north and south, walls 4 feet high. 



Kindly tell me how many pipes are 

 needed and arrangement of same, li- 

 inch pipe to be used. Also if cast iron 

 sectional boiler is as good as a steel 

 tubular. And will steam or hot water 

 be best? T. H. P. 



There is little preference to be given 

 either to steam or water, for the heating 

 of so small a range, but if he has any 

 idea of extending hig glass area I would 

 suggest steam as being the most de- 

 sirable for his use. 



A cast iron sectional boiler would be 

 well suited for this small range, and in 

 view of possible extensions, I would 

 suggest that the boiler be so arranged 

 that additional sections can readily be 

 added at any future time to care for a 

 reasonable extension of his glass. 



He has specified using IJ-inch pipe. 

 This is not a desirable size for steam 

 heating for houses of this description, 

 but I assume he has this pipe on hand 

 anfl desires to use it. in which case nine 

 lines should be used in the 18-foot house 

 for 60 to 65 degrees, and in the other 

 houses, to insure 50 degrees, five lines 

 in the 12-foot hou.se, four in the 11-foot 

 and two in the 6-foot house. 



In the steam heating for greenhouses 

 it is not desirable to nuike up tlie coils 

 of pipes larger than IJ-inch under or- 

 dinary eireumstances, but where one has 

 larger pipes and desires to use them up, 

 they can be arranged to work with a 

 reasonable amount of satisfaction, but 

 not with the ccononiy whu'h the small 

 pipes will admit. Hkxry W. Gibbons.

VENTILATING SASH. 



At the Indianapolis convention of the 

 American Carnation Society Mr. A. Ras- 

 mussen, New Albany. Ind.. exhibited a 

 model of a new ventilating sash which 

 swings from the center, so that when 

 open half of the sash extends above the 

 roof and half into the house. Both sash 

 and the frame in which it swings are 

 to be of malleable cast iron. Being piv- 

 oted in the center the force required to 

 open and close the ventilator is reduced 

 to the minimum. It seemed to possess 

 severivl advantages over the usual 

 method.

 son, to cover a space 40x115 feet. They 

 will be thoroughly modern structures.
