PUBRICO Keeps the Heat Where It Belong 



PLIBRICO keeps the heat in the furnace, because it forms a 

 jointless one-piece lining in your front door arches, entire ; 

 fronts, side walls, arches, bridge walls, etc. This lining is gas 

 and air-tight, saves fuel while at the same time greatly reduces 

 your furnace upkeep, will last longer, give better satisfaction 

 and can be more easily repaired than a lining constructed of 

 fire brick and fire clay. 



PLIBRICO is also unexcelled for baffle construction and 

 repairs.

Shipped in steel containers only. Warehouse stock carried

with solid clay bottom. How should 

 they be arranged for drainage? How 

 should the heating pipes be arranged in 

 the new house f I have 2-inch flows and 

 1-inch and 1^4 -inch returns in the old 

 house. B. C. F. — Va. 



As I understand the construction of 

 the new house, the only erposed glass, 

 except in the roof, will be about the 

 plate in the east gable. If steam heat 

 is to be used, as I infer from the type 

 of boiler and the size of the pipes used 

 in the old house, it will require one 

 2-inch overhead main and six li4-inch 

 retlirns to heat the new house. All of 

 the returns may be placed on the side 

 walls. 



In the old house the piping now in 

 use gives about 200 square feet of radia- 

 tion. The new house will have 125 

 square feet in addition to the mains. 

 To heat the two houses a boiler should 

 be used rated at 500 square feet of 

 steam radiation. 



Drainage for the beds can be secured 

 by filling them with six or eight inches 

 of coarse cinders, or a line of 3-inch 

 drain tile may be run through the center 

 of each bed. 



HEATING TO 60 DEGREES. 



We have a lean-to and a 15-foot house 

 which we wish to use for the propaga- 

 tion of hardy plants. "We are sending 

 a sketch of the building. The lean-to 

 is built against a building used as work 

 room and boiler room. The west ends 

 of both houses are protected by a barn. 

 The ends of both houses are wood for 

 three feet of their height and the re- 

 mainder is glass. The south wall is all 

 wood and is four feet high. 



We use an Ideal hot water boiler No. 

 512, made by the American Radiator Co., 

 and wish to know if this will be large 

 enough to heat these houses, using hard 

 coal as fuel. The boiler has two 2%- 

 inch flows and two 2i^-inch return 

 openings. Would you kindly give 

 the number and size of flows and 

 returns necessary to heat these two 

 houses to 60 degrees. L. & S. — Wis. 



While the amount of radiation re- 

 quired to heat the two houses is only 

 435 square feet, it would be better to 

 use a heater rated at about 600 square 

 feet, especially if soft coal were to be 

 used. 



The sketch shows the houses to be 

 forty-five feet in length and the lean-to 

 eight feet wide. For the lean-to a flow 

 pipe 2%-inches in diameter placed near 

 the ridge may be joined at the west end

"We can't do without it."— 



F. J. Hendershot & Sons, Ogden, Utah. 



The Standard Thermostat 



is the best business partner and 

 friend you can have. It protects 

 your growing crops from ruin by 

 sudden changes in temperature. It 

 is infallible, inexpensive— more re- 

 liable than a night fireman. 



The Standard Thermostat will 

 ring a bell whenever your green- 

 house temperature rises or falls to 

 the danger point. Place the bell 

 at your bedside or anywhere you 

 please. 



This is a word to the wise— a buy 



word to the wise grower. Sudden 



temperature ups and downs ruin 



thousands of plants every year. 



Protect yours! Install a Standard 



Thermostat now. It costs only 



$15.0O. Write today.
