TWIN BOILERS. 



I would like advice regarding the fol- 

 lowing: At present we are using a thirty 

 horse-power boiler, steam heat, for heating 

 our houses aggregating about 14,000 feet. 

 In the near future we shall make addi- 

 tions necessitating a new boiler. Would 

 you deem it best to buy another thirty 

 horse-power and run the two in conjunc- 

 tion, or to buy one fifty horse-power boiler 

 and run it alone? Which would insure 

 greater economy of fuel and labor and 

 at the same time provide best heating 

 facility! C. B. 



It is probable that under steady cold, 

 when the boiler is working to nearly full 

 capacity, that one fifty horse-power boiler 

 can be more economically run than two 

 of thirty horse-power. The fact that for 

 a considerable period during both spring 

 and fall one thirty horse-power boiler will 

 probably do the work of the whole plant, 

 together with the added safety of having 

 two boilers, leaves no question in regard 

 to the greater desirability of having two 

 boilers. A more uniform pressure can be 

 maintained in firing if two boilers are 

 employed and fired alternately; while 

 one is cooled by new fuel the other can 

 be making steam most rapidly under a 

 brisk fire, and vice versa. If the boiler 

 you have is a good one, located satis- 

 factorily, get another with the same di- 

 mensions ahd set it so the water level of 

 the two shall exactly coincide. Yoke the 

 domes so as to maintain equal pressure on 

 both when fired in conjunction and use 

 a yoke on the return so that they will 

 feed alike from the returns. Care in these 

 particulars is necessary in order that 

 one boiler may not rob the other of 

 water. If the yoke on the return can be 

 arranged considerably above the water 

 line of the boiler so much the better, as 

 it will largely overcome the ability of 

 one boiler to rob the other. L. C. C. 



PLANT FOOD 



"It gives us greut pleasure to tell you of the 

 value of Arnott's Concentrated Plant Food. We 

 have used it on roses and on the border for a 

 vinery with MARKED SUCCESS. It is a valu- 

 able plant food and is much more pleasant to use 

 than the old form of manure water."— Ge<j.
