For the heating system in the house, 

 for a temperature of 60 degrees, use a 

 2-inch flow pipe on each plate and two 

 2-inch returns on each wall, or under 

 each side bench. Join the lower ends 

 of the pipes in the return coils and 

 connect each coil with one side of the 

 furnace by means of a 2-inch pipe. Ar- 

 range the pipes so that they will run 

 downhill, with the highest part of the 

 system at the heater, and connect each 

 of the flow pipes with a pipe leading 

 to a 5-gallon expansion tank, which, if 

 possible, should be placed ten feet or 

 more above the boiler, although it will 

 answer if it is located just under the 

 ridge of the greenhouse. 



EXTENDING PRESENT HOUSE. 



Will you please give me some infor- 

 mation regarding the heating of a 

 greenhouse I am building? At present 

 I have a small greenhouse, 12x26, run- 

 nii( from northeast to 8|ra|^^p^f|t and 

 leaning against the resiaenee. Thus 



Josh Billings' Cow 



HOW IT CONCERNS YOUR HEATING 



Tosh had a way of saying serious 

 -^ things in an amusing way. One of 

 them was: "Always take hold of a cow 

 by the tail, and then you can let go 

 when you want to." 



Some growers follow Josh's advice and 

 completely let go their greenhouse 

 heating the minute their fires go out. 



They let it go so completely that they 

 never take hold again until Jack Frost 

 tells them it's "firing time." 



Such fellows ought to take hold of 

 their heating by the horns and then 

 they wouldn't dare let go. 



We have a notion you are one of the 

 never-let-go kind; in which case you 

 will, right now, want to talk heating 

 with us. 



And in which case we are right now 

 ready to talk heating with you.
