HEATING. 



Beplrlng to the inquiry of il. W. "W.. 

 for the heating of the lettuce house 90x33 

 feet, with glass on the roof only. 1.5 lines 

 of 2-ineh pipe ivomu be required, con- 

 nected by means cf S^a-iuch flow and re- 

 turn mains to the boiler. In the 90x22- 

 foot house, to 50 degrees tempera rare. 13 

 lines of 2-ineh pipe would be required, 

 this also connected to the boiler by means 

 of a 3%-inch flow and return mains. 



I notice that it is contemplated to put 

 the boiler in a shallow pit with the top 

 of the boiler above the floor line of the 

 greenhouse; this is very poor policy, as 

 it entails not only a complicated system 

 of installation, but adds materially to the 

 fuel consumption and the cost of labor 

 of handling the Increased amount of coal 

 every season. It would be much better 

 to invest a little more money in Portland 

 cement and labor to make a small water- 

 tight pit deep enough to insure a per- 

 fect and economical working apparatus.

PIPING. 



Would 2,000 feet of 2-inch pipe be 

 sufficient for two carnation houses each 

 20x100. connected by iron gutter and no 

 partition? Houses are 11 feet high to 

 ridge. There is 16 inches of glass all 

 the way around the sides. 



Subscriber. 



Beplying to "Subscriber's" inquiry, 

 2,000 lineal feet of 2-inch pipe will not 

 be sufficient for heating the two houses 

 he describes. In order to secure a night 

 temperature of 50 degrees, he will re- 

 quire at least 2,500 lineal feet of 2-inch 

 pipe distributed through the houses, and 

 he would find it advantngeous to increase 

 the quantity to about 2,300 lineal feet, 

 but under no cireum stances, should he use 

 less than 2,500 lineal feet.

YOUR BOILER- 



How long since your boiler has been 

 deaned? ilany boiler troubles are due 

 to lack of attention in this respect, espe- 

 cially in localities where the water carries 

 sediment. Every boOer should have a 

 cut-oflf at both flow and return so the 

 boiler may be emptied and sediment re- 

 moved at least every month or so, with- 

 out emptying the pipes. 



Where water carries sediment (and all 

 water carries more or less) the latter set- 

 tles in the lowest parts of the boiler 

 and when sufficient has accumtilated to 

 keep the water away from the surface 

 next the fire the boiler bums out just as 

 will a dry tea kettle left on the fire. 

 Boilers are costly and every care should 

 be used to prevent injury to them through 

 the acctuniJation of sediment. Xow is 

 a good time to make sure that your boil- 

 ers are not suffering deterioration in this 

 wav.
