PIPING. 



How many 1-inch pipes are required 

 to beat a house 10x36, four and one- 

 half feet to the eaves, seven feet to the 

 ridge? The house runs north and south 

 and is in no way protected against winds. 

 The temperature desired is 55° when it 

 is 15° below zero outside. 



H. & S. 



If the house in question is to be heat- 

 ed with steam at five pounds pressure it 

 will require twelve 1-inch pipes to sup- 

 ply the desired temperature during cold 

 weather. If hot water is to be used it 

 is not advisable to attempt to heat the 

 house with 1-inch pipe. If, however, tne 

 1-inch pipe cannot be exchanged for 

 larger size, say 1^-inch or 2-inch and 

 hot water is to be employed, then nine- 

 teen pipes running the length of the 

 house should be provided. With 2-inch 

 pipe, however, the same work would be 

 done with eleven pipes. In other words, 

 It takes over 700 feet of 1-inch pipe to 

 equal 390 feet of 2-inch pipe for hot 

 water heating purposes. L. C. C. 



PAINTING PIPES. 



Please give us the name of a paint 

 that can be used on the heaung pipes 

 without injury to plants and still be a 

 preventive of rust. G. W. D. 



On general principles it is not desira- 

 ble to paint or otherwise cover radiation 

 pipes. Where pipes pass through com- 

 partments in which heat is not desired, 

 painting and otherwise protecting them 

 is a direct means of preventing radia- 

 tion and economizing in fuel. Pipes 

 passing under the ridge and tnose which 

 branch from a riser to feed radiators 

 beneath benches may often be painted to 

 advantage. The paint best suited for 

 this purpose is the black asphaltum paint 

 used by engineers for painting boiler 

 fronts and other heated metal parts. This 

 paint has no injurious effect upon plants 

 if the painting is done while the pipes 

 are cool and it has time to dry before 

 the heat is turned on. L. C. C.

 Miss Barbara Beinhard were married on 

 June 28. The groom is a prosperous 

 young florist. 



OwATONNA, Minn. — The Clinton Falls 

 Nursery Co. has begun the erection of 

 two new houses, each 180 feet long. They 

 recently purchased the Lord greenhouses 

 and will shortly remove them to a lo- 

 cation beside the new houses.
