issue of this publication there appeart'd 

 an adviTtiseniint for the sale of a green- 

 house. One of the first things said al>out 

 the plant was tluit 



Morehead 

 Steam Traps 



WERE INSTALLED 



When the fact that Morehead Steam 

 Traps installed in a plant is used as one 

 of the first talking points in order to 

 efTect a sale of the phint illustrates in a 

 most convincing way what the user thinks 

 of the MOREHEAD.

 ;!(iO foot short ot" the aiuoiiut uecessary 

 to heat the house properly by steam, and 

 about one-hall" of what they should carry 

 on a hot-water basis. By increasing the 

 pipe to about 1,100 lineal feet of VA- 

 inch pipe it -will be feasible to heat them 

 as you suggest and use hot water <luring 

 spring and fall and steam during severe 

 spells. The o.xpansion tank should not 

 connect with the flow pijies but with the 

 return close to the Ixiilor and be carried 

 :ks high as possiltle a))ove the highest 

 point in tlio system; twelve or fifteen 

 feet is not too muidi. The plan of the 

 piping seems to be all right.

HEATING TWO HOUSES. 



I have two north and snutli Ikuiscs 

 which I wish to hetit witli lint water. 

 The first is l."5x6.j, with walls three and 

 one-half feet high and seven and one 

 half feet to the ri<lge. The other is 

 I'UxlOO. The boiler is in a cellar so that 

 the top is about level with the (loor. 

 The grate is .'{Ox;?(i inches. There is a 

 4-iiich outlet on top of the lioiler. The 

 main return is a ii-inidi jupe. Will you 

 give the size ami numlier of tlows and 

 returns for eaidi house? Is the bnilcr 

 large enough to heat to (JO degrees in 

 zero weather.' How high should 1 jilacc 

 iny expansion tank? !>. X. ('. 



The boiler is barely large enough to 

 carry the two houses. Its capacity fig- 

 ures about 1,400 square feet of radia- 

 tion, while the houses require about 1,300 

 square feet. The large house should 

 have a 3-inch flow and thirteen 2-inch 

 returns, f would not advise the use of 

 returns smaller than 2-inch on a house 

 of this .size. The smaller house can be 

 heated by the use of a 2-inch flow and 

 nine 2-inch returns, or, if you wish to 

 work all the piping under the benches, 

 the small house should have two 2-inch

Hows, eaeh carrying four 2-incli returns. 

 The l;ng(! house can be piped in another 

 fashion by using two 2'-jincli flows, eaidi 

 supplying six 2-iiieli returns, all the pipes 

 under the lietiehes or along the s: li- 

 walls. If you use 1-iiicli connection 

 from the main return to the e\-p;iiisinii 

 tank located litteeii or eighteen feet

 be all right. I,. ('. ('. 



BOILER FEED-PUMP. 



\\'e heat oui' gfeenhnuses by steam and 

 eonteiii|date em|>1yiiig our retuni pipes 

 into a cistern sixteen feet deep. What 

 kind of a jmmp do we need to |iut thai 

 hut water back into the boiler against 

 twenty pounds of steam jiressurc and 

 handle .llM) gallons per hour.' Wiicie 

 can we get one and wli.-it will it c(jst .' 



I'". It. 



Vou can accomplish ^\llat you wish in 

 either of two ways: First, by the use 

 of a boiler feedpump to lift the water 

 from the well and tieliver it into tne 

 boiler or. secon'l, by the use (d" a steam 

 trap. There are many good boilr-r feed- 

 luinqis on the market, any one of which 

 will do the woik. \Vrite to the adver- 

 tisers of steam s[(ecialties in the K'kvikw .

 it works aiitoin.-itic-ally, while \]\v feed-

D.vxvii.LK. Ii.L. — Herbert and Joseph 

 Smith have plans drawn for two green- 

 houses to be erected next summer. The 

 houses will each be 30x300 and will be 

 used for roses an<l carnations.

 moved to a new location and is now at 

 418 E. Madison street. He reports trade 

 as not very brisk. Carnations arc plen- 

 tiful and of good quality, but roses are 

 scarce and not up to standard.
