BOILER. 



I intend to erect greenhouses -with a 

 glass surface of 40,000 square feet of 

 glass for lettuce growing and would like 

 to know how much boiler capacity I need 

 with a temperature of 52 degrees in the 

 houses and 10 degrees below zero out- 

 side? Would 'J^ou advise me to put in 

 one large boiler or two smaller boilers? 

 Which is the most economical for this 

 purpose? What boiler is considered the 

 most economical of fuel, tubular or cast- 

 iron sectional? M. L. K. 



It would have been much more satis- 

 factory had you given the dimensions of 

 the houses you propose to use for grow- 

 ing lettuce, rather than stating the num- 

 ber of square feet of glass the range is 

 to contain. The size of the heating plant 

 is determined by the amount of radiation 

 ..necessary and this in turn is de- 

 termined by the size, shape and ex- 

 posure of the houses. A rough estimate 

 only can therefore be made of your 

 needs. If you wish to use hot water the 

 boiler plant must carry about 1,400 

 square feet of heating surface in the 

 boiler or boilers. If steam is employed 

 1,000 square feet of heating surface in 

 the boilers will probably do the work. 

 The type of boiler is largely a matter of 

 personal preference ; get the boiler men 's 

 literature and figure it out for yourself. 

 Where the plant is large enough to jus- 

 tify the expenditure two boilers are 

 preferable to one. L. C. C. 



MONETT, MO. 



After serving an apprenticeship at 

 Springfield, Mo., we started a business 

 of our own at this place last September. 

 This is a lively little town of 8,000 in- 

 habitants, with a good railway service on 

 the 'Frisco System. It has all trains 

 for leading points south, west and east, 

 including all of the fast trains. The 

 place at Billings, Mo., conducted by 

 Geo. Eaueh. has been discontinued. 



We have 6,000 feet of glass devoted to 

 lettuce as the principal crop just now, 

 as we were too late to provide with neces- 

 sary arrangements for mushrooms and 

 other hot-house vegetables which will be 

 grown in the near future. We are twin 

 brothers, 24 years old, and the height 

 of our ambition is to have, some 

 time in the future, a business built li* 

 most up-to-date style, and conducted in 

 first-class manner. Kauch Bros.
