Greenhoase Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Beview to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



A SMALL HOUSE. 



I am building a small trial house, 

 14 X 28, with no glass in the sides. The 

 height is four feet at the sides and 

 eight feet to the ridge. I have a good 

 sized water-jacket stove that I wish 

 to use. The taps are for 1-inch pipe, 

 one above the other, with a distance of 

 eight inches between them. Is there 

 any way in which the house can be 

 heated by using only 1-inch pipes, on 

 account of the taps being but 1-inch? 

 The heater will stand inside the house. 

 The location is northern Ohio and the 

 temperature wanted is 50 degrees. 



J. C. 



If the heater is large enough to take 

 care of 200 square feet of hot water 

 radiation, there should be no difficulty 

 about heating the house. It will be 

 desirable to use one ll^-inch pipe for 

 the flow, and the main return should be 

 of the same size. These can be con- 

 nected close to the heater by means of 

 reducers. Run the flow pipe overhead 

 to the farther end of the house and 

 connect there with two coils, each con- 

 taining five 1-inch pipes. These should 

 run halfway across each end, as well 

 as along the sides. Unless the heater 

 can be placed below the level of the 

 walks, a generator should be used. 



THE CAB SHORTAGE AGAIN. 



The coal market is reported to be 

 strong in spots, but uneven and uncer- 

 tain from a general point of view. 

 East of the Allegheny mountains and 

 west of the Mississippi there has been 

 only a moderate demand, with some 

 slight difficulty in maintaining prices. 

 In the middle west, however, the cool 

 weather and consequent activity in

buying, combined with the shortage in 

 cars, have resulted in a firmer market, 

 with a prospect of higher quotations. 

 The car shortage is especially apparent 

 in Ohio., western Pennsylvania and 

 West Virginia, but is noticeable in 

 nearly all the leading markets. That 

 the lack of cars is an increasingly 

 troublesome factor is indicated by the 

 report that in certain districts, where 

 consignees at first demanded flat-bot- 

 tom cars, they are now thankful to get 

 cars of any description and have 

 "waived all specifications as to char- 

 acter of equipment. * '
