PACKING PIPES. 



I wish to use some cast-iron pipe for 

 heating and should be glad to have you 

 publish directions as to bow to make 

 satisfactory joints. A. M. 



There are a great many mixtures 

 used for calking metallic joints. The 

 two here given may prove as satis- 

 factory as any. After placing the 

 pipes in the desired position place a 

 roll of oakum around each pipe and with 

 a calking tool pack it firmly into the 

 hub of the pipe, then fill the remaining 

 space with one or the other of these 

 preparations: 



fcjal ammoniac 2 oz. 



Sulphur 1 oz. 



Clean iron filings or borings. .. .12 lbs. 



Add enough water to form a paste. 



Iron filings 4 lbs. 



Fire clay 2 lbs. 



Powdered potsherds 10 lbs. 



Make into a paste by adding strong 

 brine. L. C. C. 



PIPING NARROW HOUSES. 



I have four houses 9x100 feet. "Will 

 eight runs of 1-inch pipe be sufficient 

 to maintain 60 degrees when the tem- 

 perature outside is 12 degrees to' 15 de- 

 grees below zero? There are two benches 

 each three feet six inches wide in each 

 house and I plan to put four runs of 

 1-lnch pipe under each bench, or in other 

 words 3,200 lineal feet in the four 

 houses. J. B. 



If these houses are independent, or 

 disconnected houses, it would be best to 

 provide each with ten runs of 1-inch pipe. 

 If they are connected, built on the ridge 

 and furrow plan, I think the eight pipes 

 as j'ou have planned will be sufficient.
