tion to using the natural gas in the 

 large one, will make it possible to ob- 

 tain the temperature desired in the 

 houses, we should certainly recommend 

 that method of heating, instead of burn- 

 ing slack in the large boiler. 



As we understand it, there will really 

 be no expense for the natural gas above 

 above what must be paid for if it is 

 not used, and the cost of the slack and 

 the labor of firing would certainly be 

 less in the small than in the large boiler. 



EEDUCING VALVES. 



The plumber doing my steamfitting 

 says that I ought to have a reducing 

 valve and that two would be better. 

 Please tell me if they save any coal com- 

 pared to their cost. My place is 12,000 

 to 15,000 feet, low pressure, 



P. G.— Ind. 



On large ranges, and especially when 

 the systems to be heated are located at 

 a considerable distance from the power 

 plant, it is customary to carry a high 

 pressure at the boilers and use a reduc- 

 ing valve on the main where it connects 

 with thj service pipes. The special ad- 

 vantage is that a much smaller main can 

 be used, which will make a considerable 

 saving in the cost of the pipe and pipe 

 coverings. It will also give a better 

 circulation in the mains than when low 

 pressure and large mains are used. 



When the boilers are run at a low 

 pressure, there is, of course, no occa- 

 eion for using a reducing valve, which is 

 seldom tound on small ranges. 



FITTING HOUSES TO BOILER. 



How many greenhouses 30x100 feet, 

 with three feet of glass in the walls and 

 one glass gable, could a 40-horsepower 

 double tubular return boiler provide for, 

 to maintain a temperature of 60 degrees 

 inside against an outside temperature of 

 20 degrees below f The greenhouses 

 would be connected in a range with a 

 boiler room and service room on the 

 north or cold sid . Would such a boiler 

 be suitable to use in a range of three 

 or four houses of the size I have stated I 

 This boiler can be secured here at a 

 good figure and, as we need additional 

 room and contemplate building within 

 the next year, we do not want to let 

 this boiler get away if it can be used 

 to any advantage. H. G. — Neb. 



If the boiler is up to its rating and is 

 provided with a grate and stack of am- 

 ple size, we should consider it sufficiently
