Greenhouse 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 Keview to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 heating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 trade to buy, ^nd each article the best 

 iu the special field of its adaptation. 



STEAM FOE TWO HOUSES. 



I have two greenhouses, each 25 x 100, 

 six feet high to the eaves and twelve 

 feet high to the ridge. The houses run 

 east and west, with the boiler shed at 

 the west end. The beds are all solid 

 and there are three of them in each 

 house. What would be the most con- 

 venient and economical way to pipe 

 these houses for steam heat, using I14- 

 inch pipe? I wish to maintain a tem- 

 l»erature of 60 to 70 degrees. The houses 

 are located on a small elevation in the 

 central part of Iowa and are exposed 

 to a good deal of the cold breezes. 



F. J. O. & S. 



I would suggest that you run a 2i4- 

 inch flow pipe about two feet below the 

 ridge and carry back the coils on the 

 walls, although some of them might be 

 on the sides of the beds. If a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees in the coldest weather 

 would answer, only twelve 1%-inch re- 

 turns will be needed, but if it is neces- 

 sary to keep up a temperature of 70 

 degrees at all times, at least fourteen 

 returns will be required. 



THE COAL MARKET. 



Earlier in the summer it was confi- 

 dently predicted by some of the prin- 

 cipal authorities in the coal trade that 

 there would be a substantial improve- 

 ment in business not later than the first 

 part of July, but the prophets appear to 

 have been too optimistic. Though July 

 is nearing its end, the long heralded 

 improvement is not yet visible. Dis- 

 appointed in their expectation*, the coal 

 reporters do not venture now to offer 

 any more cheerful opinion than that 

 actual buying is light and any improve- 

 ment that is discernible is mainly senti- 

 mental, or "psychological," as Presi- 

 dent Wilson might say. 



The coal men not only take a gloomy 

 view of the present situation, but are 

 despondent with reference to the pros- 

 pects for the autumn trade. The trouble 

 in the fall, they think, will not be lack 

 of demand for coal, but lack of facili- 

 ties for meeting the demand. The evil 

 that they dread is congestion of traffic

and a consequent coal famine. Unless 

 there is a sudden awakening in the mar- 

 ket, so as to dispose of a vast quantity 

 of coal in the next few ■weeks, it is 

 feared that the means of transportation 

 in the fall will be totally inadequate to 



the task of delivering the coal i'l^ 

 other commodities that will then be 

 wanted. The railroad companies, i* i* 

 said, have lately been neglecting 'be 

 maintenance of their equipment, •id'^ 

 would have difficulty in supply'"^
