adding more as is necessary. During 

 bright days when but little steam is 

 needed and at night when the fire is to 

 be left for several hours without atten- 

 tion, get a good bed of coals and then 

 bank and check the fire. If this is done, 

 it will greatly reduce the amount of car- 

 bon lost when fresh coal is added and 

 the fire started. 



BOILES CONNECTIONS. 



I have five connected houses, which 

 run north and south, with the service 

 building at the north end. All gables 

 are glass and there is one row of glass 

 below the wall plate; the balance of the 

 wall is concrete. The boiler room is in 

 the northwest corner in a pit. I have 

 a No. 5 Kroeschell boiler with three out- 

 lets, of which I am using only two. 

 One takes care of house No. 1 and the 

 other of Nos. 2 and 3. There is one 

 4-inch main, reduced to 2-inch flows and 

 2-inch returns. Shall I pipe Nos. 4 and 

 5 as I did No. 1, or must I reduce the 

 pipe for Nos. 4 and 5, which are the 

 farthest away from the boiler t I want 

 at least 60 degrees at 15 below zero, as 

 I grow cut flowers as well as vegetables. 

 The whole range is 90x115 feet, includ- 

 ing the service building, and the 4-inch 

 main at present runs through the houses 

 east and west, with the 4-inch return 

 coming back at the lower end. Could 

 I use the same return on the same inlet, 

 as I cannot easily get at the other two 

 of the four inlets because of the wallf 



C. T. M.- 



The sketch shows five houses, three of 

 which are 25x75 feet, while the other 

 two are 20x75 feet. There is no occa- 

 sion for reducing the size of the main 

 flow pipe. In fact, the flow pipe should 

 not be smaller than 4-inch for any of 

 the houses. However, if it is not possi- 

 ble to join the returns on the back side 

 of the boiler, then connect the returns 

 from houses No. 4 and No. 5 to the main 

 returns now in use, but make the con- 

 nection as near to the boiler as possible.
