THE WEATHER IN 1905. 



Prof. Cox, in the Chicago office, has 

 weather records of interest to growers. 

 The coldest day in 1905 was 18 degrees 

 below zero, February 13 ; warmest day, 95 

 degrees July 18. Days below zero were 

 six in January and nine in February. 

 On fifty-one days the temperature was 

 below freezing. The mean temperature 

 for the year was practically normal. 

 Last killing frost last spring, April 7. 

 First killing frost this fall, October 21. 

 Total rainfall 35.36 inches, about two 

 inches above normal. Heaviest rainfall 

 in one day, 2.78 inches, May 11; wet- 

 test month, May, 5.14 inches. Longest 

 period without rain, eleven days, in Sep- 

 tember. Average velocity of wind 15.4 

 miles per hour; highest monthly average 

 velocity in January and February, the 

 coldest months, thereby greatly increas- 

 ing coal consumption. Number of clear 

 days, 101. Of possible hours of sunshine 

 we had 60.7 per cent, about 3.3 per cent 

 above the normal. The later months were 

 marked by an unusual proportion of sun- 

 shine. 



PRESSURE SYSTEM. 



I have a heating plant which has been 

 in successful operation for eight years, 

 but recently the upright steam boiler 

 broke down and I replaced it with a coil 

 boiler. Now it does not work. The coil 

 boiler is two feet lower at the flows and 

 one foot higher at the returns than the 

 old one. The expansion barrel was one 

 foot higher than the flows, but it refused 

 to work with the new heater. I put it ten 

 feet above the highest flow, with the re- 

 sult that all the flows get very hot, but 

 beyond the drop to the returns every- 

 thing is very cold. When I raised the 

 tank I put a check valve on the return 

 near the boiler; it gets hot, but refuses 

 to open and let in the water. Could I do 

 away with the barrel and use the city 

 water pressure, which is 50 to 60 pounds! 



S. H. 



You do not state the style of check 

 valve you installed in the return. If it 

 is a swing check it should give no trou- 

 ble, but if it is a gravity valve you can- 

 not make it work with satisfaction on a 

 water system. I am of the opinion that 

 you can dispense with the barrel alto- 

 gether. Connect the city pressure direct 

 to the main return near the boiler and 

 use a valve to regulate the pressure to 

 suit the fire and the outside temperature. 

 Open the valve a little in mild weather 

 with moderate firing, but when cold and 

 firing hard open the valve to the full 

 extent. L. C. C.
