have seen the temperature down at 20 

 degrees below zero, but for the last two 

 years about 10 to 12 degrees was the 

 lowest. E. P. 



While I confess it does not look con- 

 «istent with what you state you have 

 been doing with your house, yet to heat 

 it to 60 degrees the house should be pro- 

 vided with two 2-inch flow pipes and 

 thirty 1-inch returns, fifteen supplied 

 from each return. I believe I would 

 give the carnations a season's trial be- 

 fore modifying the heating plant.

INSUFFICffiNT BOILER CAPACITY. 



We have one small house, 30x70 feet, 

 with four feet of side glass and the 

 ridge at a height of thirteen feet. It 

 is heated at present by a Wilks hot- 

 water heater, 30x48 inches, made to heat 

 750 feet of radiation. Our piping con- 

 sists of three 3-inch mains, with twelve 

 1%-inch returns, one coil in the center 

 and one on each side; four pipes to a 

 •coil. We are splendidly protected by 

 trees, etc., and when the thermometer 

 registered 38 degrees below zero we held 

 the temperature at 52 degrees, though 

 we thus used an immense quantity of 

 fuel. This year we wish to build a 

 vegetable house, 16x50 feet, with a 2^- 

 foot basement and a low roof. No side 

 glass. This will be at right angles to 

 the other house, and the boiler-room is so 

 arranged as to open into both houses. 

 Will our present boiler handle both 

 houses? How much pipe should there 

 be in each house — one house for a tem- 

 perature of 60 degrees with an outside 

 temperature of 20 degrees below zero, 

 the other house fpf vegetables? We 

 could probably get a good, cheap second- 

 hand steam boiler here. Would it pay 

 to change to steam heSFtj A. K. W. 



The boiler in question is not quite 

 large enough to carry the present house, 

 30x70 feet, at 65 degrees. The piping 

 is not quite sufficient for this tempera- 

 ture. Sixteen li/^-inch returns, with 

 the three 3-inch flow pipes, would make 

 the heating of the house easier. The 

 proposed house, 16x50 feet, can be heat- 

 ed by using one 2 V^ -inch flow pipe and 

 twelve 1%-inch returns. An additional 

 boiler with 750 square feet of heating 

 capacity should be added, however. You 

 would not be justified in changing to 

 steam. You could save a little on pip- 

 ing, but more care in firing would be 

 necessary. Stick to hot water. L. C. C.

WE SAY 



STOP putting your 

 boilers in a pit, for with 

 a Morehead Steam 



Trap it is not neces- 

 sary, as it will return 

 the water to the boilers 

 whether located above 

 or below coils. 



LOOK and you can see the Morehead operate, as all the moving 

 parts are on the outside — no interior floats or buckets to 

 collapse or stick. 



LISTEN and you can hear it tilt — proof positive ot its perfect 

 operation. Let us send a trap on 30 days' trial— our trap will 

 keep the heating pipes free from condensation, and will help 

 you grow better flowers.
