a little higher and were given a down- 

 ward slope of one inch in fifteen or 

 twenty feet for the entire distance. 



The boilers referred to have two 4- 

 inch flows and two 4-inch returns each. 

 They are rated for 1,500 square feet of 

 radiation each. The total radiation re- 

 quired in the three houses is only 1,500 

 square feet, and one of the boilers will 

 probably heat them in mild weather. 

 The flow and return ports are of ample 

 capacity for the size of the boiler. 



PAINT ON PIPES. 



Will you please advise me as to the 

 kind of paint that should be used for 

 painting my steam heating pipes? I have 

 just installed a steam heating system. 

 My previous experience has been with 

 hot water heat and almost any kind of 

 paint will serve on a hot water pipe, as 

 the pipe never becomes hot enough to 

 burn the paint. 



Should any precaution be used during 

 the first few nights of firing on account 

 of odors from the paint, or are these 

 odors not injurious to the plants? 



H. A. C— Ala. 



For use about greenhouses and espe- 

 cially upon steam heating pipes, care 

 should be taken that no paint containing 

 coal tar is used. Some of the better 

 grades of asphaltum paint may be 

 thinned and used with safety, although 

 it will be safer to make the application 

 several days before the fires are to be 

 started. 



The asphaltum paint gives a smooth, 

 glossy surface and, theoretically at 

 least, it does not radiate as much heat

as a rough surface. Excellent results 

 have been obtained from a paint pre- 

 pared from lampblack and linseed oil. 

 This can be used with entire safety and, 

 as it gives a dull finish, it should favor 



and not hinder radiation. If a moder- 

 ately thick coating is applied over the 

 entire surface of the pipes, it will be 

 found quite durable even though the 

 pipes are in damp places. *
