WOOD FOR FUEL. 



We are ooini:ollcd to heat our green- 

 houses (three of them, 20.x200) with 

 wood this winter owing to scarcity of 

 ooal .in this locality. We are to use 

 :i-foot hardwood maple and beech, split. 

 Our Imilers (two of them) heat the en- 

 tire plant, are sectional, one fire bo.x 

 being 4.\4 ft. and the other 4x5 ft. We 

 lieat witli steam. 



Kindly advise if we can maintain a 

 night temperature of 50 degrees. We 

 grow carnations onl.y. The outside tem- 

 perature gets as low during winter as 

 15 to 20 degrees below zero. Under bench 

 heat. Outside benches have four return 

 pipes each, middle benches two pipes 

 each. Two main supply pipes (over- 

 head), 2J-inch, in eacli hou.se. Returns, 

 l-incli. Mains out of boilers. 5-incli. 

 Two houses connected, one detaclied. 



No. 404. 



In answer to inquiry Xo. 404, judging 

 by the size of the fire boxes, the boilers 

 are more than sufficient to heat the houses 

 in question and the arrangement of the 

 heating surface is liberal. In firing 

 with wood, a portion of the grates 

 should be covered with some convenient 

 non-combustible material, the exact ar- 

 langement of the covering will depend 

 largely upon the construction of the 

 grates. If the grates are of the ordinary 

 sectional shaking variety, it would be 

 well to disconnect two-thirds from the 

 shaking mechanism; that is, starting 

 from the front, leave the first grate 

 connected, disconnect the next two, using 

 the fourth, disconnect the next two and 

 so on, covering the fixed grates with a 

 piece of sheet iron, fire clay or any 

 other convenient material. If the grates 

 are fixed, that is, non-shaking, cover the 

 whole excepting a space of about two 

 inches around all four sides. In firing 

 with wood, very little bottom air is riT- 

 quired and a liberal supply directly into 

 the fire through the lower part of the 

 fire-door is desirable.
