PIPING. 



I have a house 20x104 pijied for steam 

 and the system does not give satisfac- 

 tion. The boiler is 20-horse power and 

 it is below the water line. The flow 

 from the boiler is '2-ineh and from it 

 there are tsvo Ij-inch flows that lead 

 into the house. The three IJ-inch re- 

 turns under the north bench are sup-> 

 plied by the IJ-inch flow near the ridge 

 and the four IJ-mch returns under the 

 south and center benches are supplied 

 by the IJ-inch flow near the purlin. 

 Smokestack is 35 feet tall. Tempera- 

 ture desired is 58 dejrrees. Please tell 

 me what the trouble is. R. J. F. 



In reply to R. J. F., I have consid- 

 ered carefully the diagram which he 

 sends with his inquiry, and see no rea- 

 son why Uie apparatus he describes does 

 not work satisfactorily. Tlie size of the 

 flow and return mains are ample, the 

 mains and distribution of the pipes in 

 the house are also well arranged. He 

 does not show the location of any air 

 cocks, nor does he indicate clearly the 

 direction of the grade of tlie pipes. The 

 pipes should all grade downward from 

 the highest point, wnich I understand 

 is where the 2-inch branches at the 

 ridge to the two l^inch mains; from 

 this point they should grade downward 

 back to the boiler, having a fall of not 

 less than 5 inches in 100 feet and as 

 much more as can be conveniently given. 

 Air cocks should be provided on each 

 pipe in each coil about one foot before 

 branching into the return main. 



The boiler which lie describes as ?0- 

 horse-power woula have a capacity for 

 heating another house one-half the size 

 of the present one.

A call on the Wilmingtrn Floral Co. 

 found Bro. Henderson finishing two 

 houses 20x54. Thev are well built of 

 cypress material. Harry is a gentleman 

 and his stock looks well. 



Leo Weltz's Sons have four houses of 

 old style and have just filled one with 

 carnations. The plants were the finest 

 we have ever seen, siiort and stocky. All 

 their plants look well and healthy. They 

 have also a complete nursery, where 

 everything in the fruit and ornamental 

 line' is healthy and well grown. The 

 Weltz boys are heavy weights in the 

 community and we believe any of them 

 would pull down the scales to over 200 

 pounds. 



Both firms report business good and 

 both are pushing out for trade. 



The two small houses at Loveland are 

 out of use since the death of the pro- 

 prietor, and his widow has moved to Ep- 

 worth Heights. HEXiiY Coxklix.
