A SMALL HOUSE. 



I have a greenhouse 18x25 feet run- 

 ning east from the potting shed. There 

 are benches ail around, except for a 

 door in each end, and a bench in the 

 center. The house is tight, eleven feet 

 to the ridge and to be heated by hot 

 water. I want 45 degrees at night in 

 coldest Massachusetts weather. How 

 shall I pipe? Could I partition off the 

 short bench in the northwest corner, using 

 glass, to get a place to carry a little 

 more heat and moisture? C. C. H. 



The best plan of heating a house of 

 the dimensions you mention, 18x25 feet 

 and eleven feet high, would be to run 

 one 2%-inch overhead flow pipe and 

 distribute to twelve 1^4 -inch returns un- 

 der the benches. No valves will be 

 needed as you will have but the one 

 honse and the temperature can be regu- 

 lated by the amount of fire. It is en- 

 tirely feasible to partition off the part 

 of the bench as you have indicated, and 

 the additional moisture within the en- 

 closure may be secured by placing pans 

 of water on top of the pipes beneath 

 the bench. You will, however, need a 

 separate ventilator for this section.

CHEMICAL MANURES. 



The Arnott Chemical Co., of Toronto, 

 sends out a little booklet dealing with 

 chemical manures and containing much 

 interesting matter, including a table 

 showing the number of pounds of plant 

 food in 100 pounds of the commonly 

 used manures. They make a chemical 

 manure of which they say: 



"As an illustration of the method of 

 using it, a large florist has a tank hold- 

 ing 500 gallons mounted on a platform 

 80 as to secure pressure to distribute 

 liquid manure. Formerly it was his cus- 

 tom, for want of anything better, to 

 have cow manure hauled up to this tank 

 and leached with water. Then the 

 residue had to be taken down again, 

 making a hard job much disliked by 

 the help. His foreman appreciated the 

 advantages of horticultural manure when 

 it was brought to his notice, and now 

 he takes fifteen pounds of it, climbs up 

 to the tank and stirs it in. The whole 

 job takes less than fifteen minutes, and

the result is a clean, nutritive solution 

 which does far better work in the way 

 of making a big crop and at much less 

 expense than the old method. "Where 

 these facilities are not available, horti- 

 cultural manure may be dissolved in 

 water and applied in the same way as 

 ordinary watering is done. ' '
