will be shown at the S. A. F. & O. H. convention at Minneapolis. The grate that admits air, grinds 

 cinders, gives thorough combustion, burns cinders until they are reduced to the minimum, saves la- 

 bor, coal and the fireman's troubles. Furnished complete and ready to install without the use of tools.

I)pen thinking of tapping the other out- 

 let of the boiler, running the pipe to 

 the house and then under the ridge, 

 using a .> ineh main, a .'5-inch return to 

 the boiler and eight 2-inch returus on 

 the walls. Would that be enough piping 

 to heat the house for carnations in th? 

 • iiniate of Washington state, where the 

 temperature seldom, if ever, drops to 

 ^•erof If that would not be enough, 

 please tell nu' what pipes are really 

 needed for this new house, 25x120, and 

 describe the best arrangement of them. 

 The present house is 18x80 and I am 

 adding forty feet to the end of it. The 

 piping in this house consists of a 3-inch 

 main under the ridge and six 2-inch re- 

 turns. I wish to heat this 40-foot ex- 

 tension by lengthening the pipes in the 

 present house. I can run the main 

 right through, but I am in doubt about 

 the installation .of the returns. I in- 

 tend to \ise the 46-foot=4ouse mostly for 

 potted stock and shall not grow any- 

 thing in it that will need jfinch forcing. 

 If I bring the returns back as they are 

 "1 the present house, they will block 

 the walks in the present house. The 

 only practicable way that ,1 can think

of is to put the returns on the walls 

 and put another main return on the 

 walls in the present house. W. H. 



The present 3-inch main would not 

 be able to handle the new house in addi- 

 tion to the old one. While a 3-inch 

 main could be used for the new house, 

 it will be better if three 2%-inch flows 

 are used. One of these could be on each 

 plate and the other under the ridge. If 

 the 3-inch flow is used, ten 2-inch re- 

 turns will be needed, but with three 

 2% -inch flows only eight 2-inch returns 

 will be needed for easy heating in zero 

 weather. If there are only one or two 

 (lavs during the winter when the tem- 

 perature drops as low as zero, it would 

 be possible by heavy firing to maintain
