PIPING. 



We have a large boiler which gives us 

 one 4-inch flow and one 4-inch return 

 for each house. We would like to make 

 a change as indicated in the enclosed 

 sketch. Each house is 20x100, with shed 

 along one end. The flow passes along 

 the end, with the expansion tank at 

 the highest point. Then the pipe 

 branches into two 4-inch which in turn 

 each divide into two. The pipes drop 

 fifteen inches and at the boiler there is 

 two feet fall. Let me know what you 

 think of it. A. J. E. 



Your plan seems to be a thoroughly 

 practical one and will undoubtedly work 

 well. I see no reason for putting in 

 the two sets of U bends, however. The 

 main flow pipe can as well be discharged 

 into a manifold T with four outlets as 

 into a U and this into two separate U's. 

 Another improvement would be found in 

 placing the expansion tank on the return 

 pipe near where it enters the boiler, 

 rather than in the riser near its highest 

 point and where the water is hottest. 

 The flow will be less impeded and a 

 higher temperature maintained in the 

 flow pipes by placing the expansion tank 

 on the return as suggested. L. C. C. 



Nyack, N. Y.— Pye Bros, had all their 

 carnations housed before the end of 

 July. They were fortunate in having a 

 cool week for the work.

How to Destroy Cabbage Worms. 



THE SLUG SHOT can be uped lightly or 

 heavily, and the cabbage suffers no harm. The 

 cabbage forms its head by the interior growth ; 

 it throws off its earlier and outside leaves, and 

 no dust can enfold within its head. 



Apply Slug Shot with a Duster (see illus- 

 tration), sieve it over the plants or full grown 

 cabbage. The powder is very fine and goes a 

 long way in field or garden. 



Is Hammond's Slug Shot Safe to Use? 



PLEASE LISTEN. 



We work in it constantly for months at a time, 

 with no ill effects ensuing. 



1^ To eat Slug Shot in quantity to do harm to 

 either man or animal is not practicable. So far 

 as feeding chickens, pigs, or cows with heads of 

 cabbage on which Slug Shot was applied, it has 

 been done for years with impunity. 2Jo poisonous 

 matter can be absorbed into the leaf.
