house witli tlie lower temperature. The 

 returns will be of 2%-inch pipe also. 

 Will this arrangement work out all 

 right with a boiler of the proper size? 

 Would you i>ut the same size of pipe in 

 the greenhouse with the lower tempera- 

 ture? The house with the lower tem- 

 perature will he of the same width, but 

 sixty feet longer than the other house. 

 How close to the ridge pole should the 

 2Va-ineh main flow be placed? How 

 high and how large should the stack be 

 made? The greenhouses are situated on 

 the side of a hill, about 200 feet below 

 the summit. The hill protects the west 

 and the soutli sides of the houses. The 

 walls are made of cement and e.xtend iip 

 to the sills of the glass in the sides. The 

 outside temperature goes as low as 10 

 degrees below zero. The heater is a Her- 

 cules, made in Chicago, and I intend to 

 add another when the second house is 

 completed. Each of the heaters will 

 have five sections. I should like to use 

 3%-inch pipe, because with the present 

 arrangeiiioiit I can disconnect either 

 heater in mild weather or for repairs. 



F. K.— O. 



The principal objection to the pro- 

 posed jilan for piping the greenhouses 

 is that only one 2i/i-incli supply pipe 

 is to be used for sixteen 2-inch returns. 

 It is true that there will be but about

 it is to eliminate poor combus-

Settings of "Steel Mixture" reduce the joints more than two-thirds. Because 

 they are smooth and with few joints they last more than twice the life of 

 ordinary fire brick. These tested facts are worth considering.
