the desired temperature with this ar- 

 rangement? J. W. B. — Miss. 



There is no question that the pip- 

 ing suggested for the houses will heat 

 them to 60 degrees when it is 10 degrees 

 above zero. I am not sufficiently 

 familiar with the climatic conditions in 

 Mississippi to know how many times 

 during the winter the mercury is likely 

 to drop within 10 degrees of zero, but 

 with the present cost of piping I should 

 keep the amount of radiation as low as 

 possible and rely upon a little extra 

 attention in the way of firing when the 

 mercury approaches 10 degrees above 

 zero. 



Except in houses of more than 150 

 foot in length, it is preferable to use 

 2%-inch pipe for the flows and in the 

 houses described, instead of using two 

 3-inch flow pipes, I should use three 2yo- 

 inch pipes, placing two of them either 

 on the side wall plates or on the purlin 

 posts and the third two or three feet 

 below the ridge. If the returns are well 

 above the top of the boiler, I think it 

 will be possible to maintain 60 degrees 

 in these houses by using six 2-inch pipes 

 for the returns, placing two in each of 

 three coils, locating one coil on each 

 side wall or under the side benches and 

 the other under the middle bench. In 

 case the houses are not well built or are 

 much exposed to the prevailing cold 

 winds, it may be necessary to add one 

 pipe in each house, placing it on the ex- 

 posed side, but I am of the opinion that 

 it will not be necessary if a little extra 

 attention is given in the coldest 

 weather. The boiler has fully 1,000 

 square feet surplus capacity.
