 "I nsed Dixon's Silica-Graphite Paint 



on bot water pipes 16 years ago. The pipes 

 are still free from rast. It is by far the most 

 serviceable paint for the purpose."— C. H.

Do you think I could use steam to better 

 advantage than hot water? 



M. W. B.— Kan. 



Since it requires only about 1,000 

 square feet of hot water radiation to 

 heat the present house to 50 degrees, the 

 boiler now in use should be of ample 

 size to heat another house of the same 

 dimensions. We would prefer to con- 

 nect the flow pipe to the new house 

 directly with the boiler, and would use 

 either one 4-inch flow or two 3-inch. 

 The two 3-inch flows could be run to 

 the west end of the house, upon the 

 wall plates, or each of them could be 

 used to supply two 214-inch flows, one 

 of which could be under the purlins. 



We would consider twelve 2-incli re- 

 turns ample for 50 degrees in zero 

 weather, and would place three of them, 

 either on the side walls or under the 

 side benches, and the others under the 

 middle benches. 



While the cost of heating the houses 

 with steam would be rather more than 

 with hot water, both in fuel and care, 

 the cost of pijjing for steam would be 

 less than with hot water, since it would 

 require only one 2i4-inch overhead 

 flow-pipe and nine or ten 114-inch 

 returns. 



Your Best Friend! 



The Standard Thermostat 



is the best business partner and 

 friend you can have. It protects 

 your growing things from ruin by 

 sudden changes in temperatures. It 

 is infallible, inexpensive— more re- 

 liable than a night fireman. 



The Standard Thermostat will 

 ring a bell whenever your green- 

 house temperature rises or falls to 

 the danger point. Place the bell 

 at your bedside or anywhere you 

 please. 



This is a word to the wise— a buy 



word to the wise grower. Sudden 



temperature ups and downs ruin 



thousands of plants every year. 



Protect yours! Install a Standard 



Thermostat now. It costs only 



$10.00. Write today. 



(G. H. 3. same as G. H. 4, only 

 not in locked case, $7.00.)
