struction of the boiler. Whether the 

 chimney will be large enough for a 

 boiler that will answer for the two 

 houses will depend both on the size of 

 the houses and the temperature desired. 

 If the ]>resent house is of the same size 

 as the new one, 16x48 feet, with two 

 feet of glass in one wall, and a tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees will suffice, a boiler 

 with a grate twenty-five inches in diam- 

 eter will suffice. For such a boiler a fine 

 8x12 inclies in cross section would suf- 

 fice, although it is advisable that the 

 two flues be connected. 



MORE HEAT WHEN WANTED. 



I am selling my house, 20 x 100, to a 

 college and the college is going to build 

 an additional house, 40 x 100. These 

 houses are to be heated by steam from 

 the main heating plant. I have about 

 1.0(10 feet of liXi-inch i)ipe, 100 feet ot 

 2-ineh pipe and nearly 300 feet of 3-inch 

 and 314-inch pipe. How can I best use 

 this and shall I need any extra? The 

 houses are to be used for growing let- 

 tuce, carnations and bedding plants, and 

 for experimenting by classes in agricul- 

 ture. B. A. A. — Ind. 



If the houses are well built and there 

 is no glass in the side walls, the small 

 house can be heated to 50 to 52 degrees 

 by using one 2-inch overhead main and 

 eight 114-ineh returns. All of the re- 

 turns may be under the side benches or 

 two of them may be placed under the 

 middle bench. If there is glass in the 

 side walls, run an additional return for

each thirty inches of glass. The new 

 house will require two 2-inch flow- 

 pipes on the purlin posts and ten P^- 

 iiich returns, most of which should be 

 on or near the side walls. 



The flow pipes in the houses will re- 

 quire 200 additional feet of 2inch pipe, 

 and 800 feet of 1 14 inch pipe will bo 

 used for the returns in the small house. 

 The 3-inch pipe will answer for the main 

 flows, but enough^ li^>-iiich pipe will be 

 required for connecting the coils with 

 the boiler. In case either house is to 

 be used for bedding plants, which re- 

 ([uire 60 to 62 degrees, two additional 

 returns will be needed in the narrow 

 house and four in the wide house, to- 

 gether with an additional flow pipe. 

 We should advise piping one of the 

 houses so that 60 degrees may be se- 

 cured when desired.
