 the heating requirements for this house

If tlie houses :ire built together, so 

 that each house is .32x84 feet, with but 

 one side wall exposed, they ran be 

 heated by using three 2i/.>ineli flow- 

 pipes and nine 2-inch returns in each 

 house. With both side walls exposed 

 in each of the houses, an additional re- 

 turn pipe will be required. In case the 

 two houses combined only measure 

 32x84 feet, use two flows and six re- 

 turns in each house. The same ])iping 

 may be used in the house 16x74 feet. 

 In case there is a middle bench for 

 which bottom heat is desired, use three 

 2-inch flow pipes and six 2-inch return> 

 in houses sixteen f(et wide. 



EXCAVATING FOR HOUSE. 



I am planning a new greenhouse, but 

 have been told that it is not good policy 

 to excav.'ite for a permanent house, the 

 objection being that in a few years the 

 soil will get sour and breed disease, in 

 spite of all that can be done. The soil 

 here, however, is exceedingly sandy. 

 There is a rich top soil eight or ten 

 inches deep, which is one half sand. Be- 

 neath this the texture of the soil con- 

 sists of from three to four feet of sand, 

 rather course and stained with vellow

Air Is Unwelcome 

 In Hot Water Systems 



It is an enemy of economical heating. 



It retards the free flow of your hot water, 

 and causes uneven heat throughout your 

 range. 



Fisher Air Trap 



(Type 30) 



expels air. 

 it needs. 



It gives your range the full measure of heat 



Fisher Air Trap is positive acting allows the entire 

 system to circulate efficiently prevents all air pockets 

 and all hammering. Gives hot water a clear track to 

 the very end of your runs. 



It is a simple trap - needs no adjustment. Construction 

 is such that valve and nozzle can be removed at any 

 time without disturbing pipe connections. 



Actual satisfactory operation in thousands of green- 

 houses has made the Fisher Air Trap standard equip- 

 ment. Let us show you why YOU should rely on it for 

 better, cheaper heat.
