WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILER 

 for ECONOMY, DURABILITY, DEPENDABILITY 



Install a WILKS and forget your troubles- 



NO NIGHT FIREMAN REQUIRED with the WILKS 

 SELF-FEEDING BOILERS, as the magazine or coal 

 chamber holds sufficient fuel to keep fire 10 to 12 hours 

 without attention. Best made for a small greenhouse.

I am planning to build an addition to 

 my greenhouse, according to the en- 

 closed plan. The houses will be even- 

 span, eleven feet high to the ridge and 

 seven feet high to the plate. The south 

 wall will consist of two feet of concrete 

 blocks and five feet of glass. The north 

 side will be boarded, with tarred paper 

 on the outside. The west end of the 

 south house will have three feet of sid- 

 ing and the remainder will be glass. 

 The west end of the north house will be 

 protected by the workroom. The east 

 end of both houses will contain about 

 thirty-three square feet of glass; the 

 rest will be sided up. I have a No. 4 

 Kroeschell boiler and shall use a hot 

 water system. I wish to use 2-inch 

 pipe for returns and I want a tempera- 

 ture of 65 to 70 degrees in zero weather. 

 Where is the best place to connect the 

 pipe for the exjjansion tank? Will it 

 be necessary to put air valves in the 

 returns? E. A. B. — Mich. 



As nearly as we can make out from the 

 sketch an(i description, the south house 

 is 14x48, with five feet of glass in the 

 south wall. The other house is 14x35, 

 with the workroom and boiler cellar at 

 the west end. 



To keep up a temperature of 70 de- 

 grees in zero weather, we would run 

 three 2i'2-inch flow pipes in each house. 

 Place one upon each plate and the other 

 two feet below the ridge. In the south 

 house run twelve 2-inch returns, ar- 

 ranged in three coils. For the north 

 house use ten returns, in three coils. If 

 the main flow pipe to each house, which 

 should be 3-inch, has a slight slope and if 

 the expansion tank is connected with the
