and mal-e repairs without interfering 

 with the operation of the other boilers. 

 The size of the stack for a boiler 

 varies with the height of the stack. 

 While the stack for a boiler with a 

 grate 24x48 inches might be as small 

 as twelve inches in diameter if the 

 stack is fifty or sixty feet high, it 

 should be fourteen or fifteen inches 

 when the height is only thirty or forty 

 feet. The larger sizes will be desirable 

 if the finer grades of coal are used. 



PLENTY OF HEAT. 



I am planning to build a new green- 

 house, 21x50 feet, which I want to at- 

 tach to my present greenhouse, 16x50 

 feet. The new house will be ten feet 

 to the ridge, with a 5-foot wall on 

 the south side. There will be two and 

 one-half feet of glass on the west end. 

 I have an Ideal hot water boiler No. 

 'W22-8, eight sections, with grates 2x4 

 feet. There is a 4-inch flow and a 4- 

 inch return. The boiler is two feet be- 

 low the level of the return. Is my boiler 

 suflScient for both houses and sheds? 

 How much pipe will be required to 

 furnish 48 to 52 degrees in zero weather 

 and how should the piping be arranged! 



W. v.— Ind. 



The boiler described is amply large 

 to supply twice as much radiation as 

 would be required to maintain a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees in the two 

 houses. For 50 degrees these houses 

 will not require more than 600 square 

 feet of radiation, and a boiler with a
