will be found the proper method of heating, and a base-burning 

 water heater that manufacturers furnish for from ;^25.oo upwards, 

 will do good service. 



The people of Hammonton, New Jersey, use a boiler of this 

 kind for heating the brooders in their chicken houses, and it may 

 be arranged 

 somewhat in 

 the same man- 

 ner, and as 

 shown in next 

 figure. When 

 the house is 

 all made snug 

 and tight, and 

 where winters 

 are not ex- 

 ceedingly 

 severe, it 

 seems that a 

 single pipe for 

 each bench, 



either in an air-chamber under it to provide bottom heat, or near 

 the outside would be fully sufficient. 



To make the arrangement perfectly clear, I will say that the 

 barrel B is used merely to give pressure to the water in the stove ; 

 C '\s the faucet for drawing water from the barrel; D the faucet 

 for emptying water out of stove, pipes and barrels. £ is a cock 

 for letting out air from the pipes in order to prevent it from 

 interfering with the water circulation. F and G are cocks by 

 which the connection between stove and water pipes can be broken. 



If one of them is shut, the 

 circulation stops, and the 

 pipes will gradually cool off. 

 If it should be desired to 

 heat or boil the water in the 

 barrel, it can be done by 

 shutting off the two cocks, 

 F and G^ and opening the 

 one in the vertical pipe lead- 

 ing from the upper heating 

 pipe to the barrel, thus com- 

 pleting the water circulation 

 through boiler and barrel. 

 Base-burning Water Heater and An arrangement of this 



Arrangement of Pipes. kind, simple and inexpen- 



sive as it is, sometimes may come handy, even if not entirely 

 necessary for the regular purpose of green-house heating.
