HE well-to-do home gardener, who can afford to spend a little time 

 ^y^, and money for the privilege of running a miniature greenhouse which 

 <^ will not only give him an abundance of flowering plants, but also a 

 r^ '• '*^^^ *^'^'^'' ^'*^g^^^^t)Ies in the winter months, will be interested in the 

 •^ plan here illustrated for heating his house. The plans are reproduced 

 from " How to Make the Garden Pay," published by William H. 

 Maule, and the descriptions are from the pen of T. dreiner. The structure 

 shown in Fig. 17 sufficiently explains itself. 



Hot water will be found the proper 

 method of heating, and a base-burning 

 water-heater, that manufacturers furnish 

 for from tv enty-five dollars upward will 

 do good service. The people of Ham- 

 monton, N. J., use a boiler of this kind 

 for heating the brooders in their hen 

 houses, and it may be arranged some- 

 what in the .same manner as shown in 

 Fig. 18. When the house is all made 

 snug and tight, and where winters are 

 not exceedingly 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, we will sa) that the barrel B is 

 used merely to give i)ressure to the water in the stove ; C is the faucet for draw- 

 ing water from the barrel : I) the faucet for emptying water out of stove, jjipes 

 and barrel. F is a cock for letting out air from the pipes in order to prevent it 

 B_ from interfering wilh the water (■ircu]alii)n. 1" aiul (1 are 



cocks by which the connection between stove and water 

 pipes can be broken. If one of them is shut the circulation 

 t^b stops and the j)ipes will gradually cool off 



If it should l)e ilesired to heat or boil the water in the 

 barrel, it can be done by shutting 

 off the two cocks. l''and (i.anil open- 

 ing the one in the verticle pipe 

 I leading from the upper heating pipe to the barrel, thus com" 

 pleting the water circulation through boiler and barrel. An 

 arrangement of this kind, simple and inex|)ensive as it is, 

 sometimes may come handy, even if not entirely neces.sary
