liave seen the temperature down at '2*^ 

 degrees below zero, but for the last two 

 vears about 10 to ll! degrees was thi' 

 'low<-st. K. I'. 



^Vhile I confess it ilnes not look cnii 

 sistent with what you state you liavc 

 been doing Avith your iiouse, yet fo hrnt 

 it to 00 degrees the house should be pm- 

 vided with two I'-incii tlow pipes and 

 tiiirty 1-incdi returns, fifteen supftlied 

 from each return. I iieJieve [ would 

 gi\e the carnations a season's Irial l)e-

INSUFFICIENT BOILER CAPACITY. 



We have one small house, 30x70 feet, 

 Avith f6,ur feet of sitle glass and the 

 ridge at a heiglit of thirteen feet. It 

 is heated at present by a Wilks hot- 

 water beater, 30x4S inches, made to heat 

 T.IO feet of radiation. Our piping con- 

 sists of three 3-iucli mains, with twelve 

 T:.-inch returns, one c(dl in the center 

 and one on eacli side; four pipes to a 

 coil. We are splendidly protected by 

 trees, etc., and when the thermometer 

 registered 38 degrees below zero wo held 

 the temperature at ;1l! degrees, though 

 we thus used an immense quantity of 

 fuel. This year Ave wish to Iniild a 

 vegetable house, lGx.")0 feet, with a il^^- 

 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 lioth houses. 

 Will our present boiler handle both 

 houses? How much pipe should there 

 be in each house — on<' house for a tem- 

 perature of 00 degrees with an outside 

 temjierature of L'O degrees below zero, 

 the otiier house fo*' vegetables? We 

 fould ]irol>ably get a good, cheap second- 

 hand steam boiler here. Would it pay 

 to change to steam heat.' A. K. W. 



The lioiler in (juestion is not qidte 

 large enough to carry the present house, 

 .'>0x70 feet, at Oo degrees. The pijiing 

 is not quite sutlicient for this tempera- 

 ture. Sixteen li-j-inch returns, with 

 the three 3inch flow ]ii|ies, would make 

 the heating id." the house easier. The 

 ])roj)osed house, lOx.'u feet, can be heat- 

 ed by using one •_!'■_. imh tlow iiijie and 

 twelve l^j-incdi returns. An additional 

 lioiler with 7r)0 square feet of heating 

 i-ajiacity should be a<ldcd, 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 

 necessarr. Stick to hot water. L. C. C.
