WATER HEATING. 



I have two grccuhouses, ICx.'jO feet, 

 nine feet to ridge, sides four feet and 

 boarded. Glass in west end, work shed 

 protecting the east. Am thinking of 

 heating with a Xo. 4 Economic hot water 

 boiler. Have 700 feet of 1-inch pipe 

 that I want to use and would stand the 

 boiler near the surface of the ground be- 

 cause of water in the pit. With a 2-inch 

 flow under the ridge how many 1-inch 

 returns will I need and should they be 

 partly under the middle bench or all 

 uuder the side benches. G. N. 



Your houses require a boiler with at 

 least eighty feet of heating surface. 

 If the No. 4 boiler mentioned does not 

 have this amount of heating surface. 

 do not use it, but get one that has even 

 more. I do not consider it economical 

 or wise to use 1-inch pipe in a hot water 

 system. It is quite satisfactory with 

 steam, but nothing smaller than l^/i- 

 inch should be used for hot water. If 

 you wish to use 1-inch pipe you should 

 "provide a 2-inch flow pipe, or riser, uu- 

 der the ridge and sixteen returns under 

 the benches. With 1 14-inch pipe it will 

 require thirteen returns, and with 

 2-inch pipe eleven, to maintain 

 a temperature of 60 degrees with the 

 water at 180 degrees during cold 

 weather. L. C. C. 



ElCHMOXD, Va.— The heavy frost at 

 the end of April caused a very heavy 

 less to many of those in the trade here. 

 Outdoor planting was under way and the 

 frost was sufficient to practically ruin 

 all stock which had been put outside. 

 Peonies and lilacs, were badly injured. 



iNWAXiPOLIS, IXD. — H. M. Altick, of 

 Dayton, O.. has been in town in the in- 

 terests of the JIcKinley Memorial Fund, 

 for the S. A. F. committee on which 

 ho is chairman. He stated that he thinks 

 the committee will be able to raise $20,- 

 000 for the ilcKinley memorial.
