PIPING. 



I have a house 12x50 feet, with one 

 gable glass and two feet of glass on the 

 sides, double boarded with building pa- 

 per between. How many runs of •2-inch 

 pipe will be needed to keep 65 to 70 de- 

 grees in cold weather and how would 

 you pipe for hot water and for steam f 



G. L. 



In order to provide a temperature of 

 70 degrees during isevere weather it 

 will be necessary to use 520 feet of 2- 

 inch pipe when hot water at 180 degrees 

 JP. is used and 400 feet of 2-inch pipe 

 if steam under five pounds pressure is 

 used. In a narrow house of this de- 

 scription it. will undoubtedly be best to 

 arrange the pipes in two coils, one un- 

 der each side bench, if elevated benches 

 are used; if not and it is possible to ar- 

 range the coils on the side walls, this 

 can be made to work satisfactorily. In 

 the case of the hot water it will be nec- 

 essary to place six pipes in one mani- 

 fold and five in the other, as eleven 

 pipes are all that are required. The 

 coils ^ can be so constructed that one 

 pipe in each set acta as a supply pipe, 

 while the other five, or four, as the 

 case may be, return the water to the 

 boiler. The same scheme may be used 

 with the steam, but instead of there be- 

 ing six and five pipes in the coils re- 

 spectively there will be eight pipes in 

 all, or two coils of four pipes each. 



If it is not desirable to use this plan 

 of piping, the steam system can be in- 

 stalled as folloiws: Run one 2^inch 

 pipe under the ridge as a supply from 

 the boiler, making, if possible, the point 

 directly over the boiler the highest 

 point in the system. Allow the supply 

 pipe to slope gently from this point to 

 the most distant end of the greenhouse 

 and there divide it to supply each of 

 two coils consisting of five 1^4 -inch 

 pipes, or ten 114-inch pipes in all. 

 These can be toade up with a manifold 

 tee or with tees and nipples and pro- 

 vided with swing joints to care for the 

 expansion. This is, to my mind, the 

 most desirable arrangement and the 

 beet size of pipe for steam heating. 

 With a small plant such as above stat^ 

 hot water will undoubtedly prove most 

 satisfactory. If hot) water is used an 

 ample expansion ^^ should be pro-

CUT WORMS. 



In the Eeview of November 3 ap- 

 peared a query about cut worms. A few 

 years ago we had a plague of them here 

 in Victoria. We found that spraying 

 with Paris green wa« effective. If the 

 ground be watered with a mixture of a 

 wineglass of kerosene emulsion to a gal-

Ion of water the worms will all come to 

 the surface and can be collected and 

 destroyed. A good soaking with water 

 will have the same result but can hardly 

 be applied at this season with safety.
