 valve to each house will lie sntlicieiit. 



The tirst cost of the ]iipin<j for .steam 

 will 1)0 loss than for hot water, but under 

 vour conditions steam would be imprac-

PIPING FOR MINNESOTA. 



I expect to build a liouso L'0.\(50 feet. 

 Wdulil the tollowiiio system of water 

 hcatiiio be satisfactory in Minnesota, 

 wht'ic the lenijierat life sometimes reaches 

 ."Ui deorees liejow /em.' The iioiler will be 

 at till' we^i end. The system wouM consist 

 of one J inch tlow |ii|ii' fidiii the dome of 

 the boiler, risiiio- jd the toji ol' the door 

 ,it the extieme eucl and 1 iiii iicli i II i^ into 

 foiirteeii )'•_. iiirli return |ii|ie< which run 

 under the lieiiclies. Tile I'lid of the hoii.se 

 neatest the lioilei is In be wanner, and 

 ill oilier to si'ciiie tills greater warmth 

 I have jilaiined to lia\e lour oi' the jiipes 

 briiiiih at tlii^ end of the lnjuse. which 

 would be separated t rem ijie lest of the 

 house by a jiartitioii. Would one llow 

 ])ipe supply these returns, or are there 

 too many of them.' if there sliould be 

 more Mow pipes, where should they be? 

 And it this [ilaii is not riolit. wlitit would 

 von .su<iyest .' Thi^ wall is eiyiit feet on 

 the north, with no "lass, and six feet on 

 the south, with twd feel of «>|ass. Are 

 these sizes of pipes all riyht .' 



.\. X. C. 



The ].lan of iiipinjx snoo(.sled will pro- 

 vide sullicient heat for carnations, chrys- 

 anthemums and similar plants, but for 

 roses it would lie desirable to increase 

 the number of I'-inch pipes to eighteen. 

 The 4-inch llow pipe will supply tiie four- 

 teen 2-inch returns, but no more. As 

 the water will be considerably cooled by 

 the time it returns to where the extra 

 pipe.s branch off, they will add little to 

 the warmth of this section :nid thi.s part 

 of the house will be inclined to be cool- 

 est. A better plan would be to insert a 

 tee in the 4-inch flow pipe just before 

 the partition is reached and connect di- 

 rectlv to the extra return pipes below 

 the benches. This connecting pipe, how- 

 ever, should be provided with a gate
