GAS OR COAL FOR FUEL. 



A3 GUI- town is about to be supplied 

 with natural gas, we wish to ask you 

 some questions before we decide between 

 gas and coal for heating our greenhouses 

 the ooniing winter. For heating pur- 

 poses, what is the comparative value of 

 natural gas at M cents per 1,000 cubic 

 feet and Massillon slack at .tL.'SO per 

 ton? Are two 2-ineh pii)es sufficient to 

 convey gas to a J.l-horse-power boiler, lo- 

 comotive typef What is the best burner 

 for the consuming of natural gas in such 

 a boiler, the fire-box of which is fifty-one 

 inches long, twenty-seven inches high and 

 twenty-nine inches wide? How many 

 burners should be put in such a boiler? 

 The tubes of the boiler number thirty- 

 nine r.nil are three inches in diameter. 

 What is the cost of the best burner and 



where can it be obtained? Could an or- 

 dinary plumber place a gas burner in a 

 boile'- satisfactorily? Does the burning 

 of natural gas injure a smoke stack built 

 of shale brick and Portland cement? If 

 so, how rapidly? What has been the ex- 

 perience of florists in the use of natural 

 gas for heating their greenhouses? 



F. H. D. W. & C. 



The best answer I can make to the 

 question regarding the comparative value 

 of gas and slack is to say that 30,000 

 cubic feet of gas is reckoned as the 

 equivalent of one ton of best anthracite 

 or bituminous coal. Gas at 15 cents per 

 1,000 Mould be equal to the best coal at 

 $4.50 per ton. The comparative value of 

 slack and lump coal is not known to me 

 but from what has been stated you can 

 draw your own conclusions. 



If you have a good pressure of gas, 

 20 to 30 lbs. or more, a single 2-iuch 

 pipe will be ample to supply fuel for a 

 25-horse power boiler. 



The essential part of a burner for us- 

 ing natural gas is the mixer. With a 

 good mixer of sufficient size a T or L at 

 the enl of the pipe for the flame is quite 

 satisfactory. A good burner, however, 

 is one consisting of a mixer of large size 

 which will carry a 2-inch pipe. Use a 

 piece of 2-inch pipe about 15 inches long, 

 cap one end and through the rim of the 

 cap drill five or six %-inch holes. About 

 two inches below the holes in the cap 

 drill five or six holes in the pipe which 

 can be threaded to receive %-inch nip- 

 ples each 3 or 31^ inches long. Below 

 this ring of holes drill another which 

 miss-match those first drilled, and thread 

 a like set of nipples about 4M.> inches 

 long, and in like manner insert a third 

 set of nipples which shall be about an 

 inch longer than the set next above them. 

 A plumber can make this very easily and 

 it is one of the best burners for furnace 

 or boiler use with which I am familiar. 

 Three burners of this type should be suf- 

 ficient for the boiler in question. 1 do 

 not know that the burning of gas has a 

 more destructive effect on chimneys than 

 other fuels. Natural gas, when avail- 

 able, is the most convenient fuel that 

 can be used. L. C. C. 



LILIUM SULPHUREUKL 



One small bulb received three years 

 ago, from a friend in Vermont, made 

 but little growth the first year and did 

 not bloom until the second year, when 

 it produced two large blossoms, on a 

 strong stem. This, the third season 

 after planting, the main stalk has grown 

 to be more than five feet high, bearing 

 eight immense bells, nine inches long, or 

 twelve inches, counting the short stem 

 from the main stalk, by eight and one- 

 half to nine inches across at the reflex 

 of the petals. The flower somewhat re- 

 sembles longiflorum in form, while in 

 color it more resembles auratum, but is 

 not so strongly marked, the color being 

 creamy white, shading to yellow in the 

 throat. The outside of the petals is 

 tinged with purple but the whole flower 

 is practically white. The perfume is very 

 strong, but delightfully sweet and agree- 

 able. It multiplies from bulblets in the 

 axils of the leaves, like tiger lilies. I am 

 told it is very rare and the bulblets valu- 

 able. We used four of the flowers in 

 a large pillow design, which attracted 

 much attention. Edw. Teas.
