hill and the highest part of each flow 

 should be connected with the expansion 

 tank. A 24x42 Wilks boiler should be 

 .nble to give sufficient heat to two houses 

 of that size. It will be helpful if the 

 top of the boiler can be placed below 

 the lower ends of the returns. 



USING NATURAL GAS. 



I have a small coldframe, 14x18 feet, 

 having a door and walks so that I am 

 able to stand up under the glass. I 

 wish to winter over several hundred 

 geraniums. In tlie spring of the year I 

 use an oil hoatoj- to keep the tempera- 

 ture from the freezing point, but it 

 would not be sufficient here in winter. 

 "Would it be possible to use natural gas 

 in a stove, or stoves, with a pipe to 

 carry off the fumes, without injury to 

 the plants? L. J. S.— Pa. 



If it were possible to burn the natural 

 gas without allowing any of it to es- 

 cape into the house, it would be an ex- 

 cellent fuel for the purpose mentioned, 

 but I have never seen it done. If a 

 small amount of gas escaped it would be 

 seriously injurious, though geraniums 

 would be injured less than most plants. 



To heat the house I should suggest 

 the use of a small hot water boiler, 

 rated for 100 to 125 square feet of 

 radiation. With one IVL'-inch flow pipe 

 below the ridge and four li/i-in*"!! pipes 

 on each wall, there should be no dif 

 Acuity in maintaining the required tem- 

 perature. The heater may be in the 

 cellar of an adjoining building, but in 

 that case the connecting pipes should 

 be covered with some insulating ni;i 

 terial. Allowances should be made for 

 the extra piping in tlio selection of t lie 

 lieater.
