W. D. Snell, Mohawk, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1907, says: 

 "I hare to report In regard to the No. 407 Standard 

 Sectional Steam Boiler recently Installed In my green- 

 houses, that It gives thorough satisfaction. About 

 January 1, I had occasion to note an Incident that I 

 consider worth reporting. The boiler was attended to. 

 fuel furnished, grate shaken down and everything 

 . arranged for the night at 12 o'clock midnight. At 

 that time the boiler showed two lbs. steam. To test 

 the boiler and see how long It would run without 

 attention, I deferred giving It any further attention 

 until 11 o'clock the following day. At that time the 

 fuel needed replenishing, but steam had been main- 

 tained In the system practically all the time and at 

 the time It was replenished the gauge stood at two lbs. 

 pressure. The experiment showed that tlie boiler ran 

 without any attention whatever for eleven liours. carry- 

 ing 7000 sq. ft. glass to about 55 degrees. The weather 

 outside was about zero."

ll^-inch header. From these headers 

 there are three 1%-inch returns, making 

 two 2-inch flows and six li>^,-inch returns 

 in all. Please tell me how much more 

 1^^-inch pipe will be necessary, in this 

 Kansas climate. Should those headers 

 be 2-inch or will 1%-inch headers be 

 large enough t 



My boiler is a Nichol & Shepard trac- 

 tion boiler. It is fourteen horse-power 

 and has thirty-three 2-inch flues. Its 

 capacity is three barrels and a half of 

 water. B. P. M. 



The house in question, in order to 

 maintain a temperature of 60 to 65 de- 

 grees during severe weather, should be 

 provided with twenty lines of li^rinch 

 pipe, twelve in addition to the present 

 equipment. In order to install the ad- 

 ditional radiation the present headers 

 will require to be modified, and it mil 

 be well to install 2-inch fittings for all 

 new pipes for hot water service.

HEATING IN TEXAS. 



I wish to heat two connected houses, 

 each 18x100 feet, running north and 

 south. The side walls are five feet high, 

 with twenty-four inches of glass on the 

 west side; also glass in the south gable. 

 The sashbars are eleven feet long. How 

 many feet of 2-inch pipe will it take to 

 keep a temperature of 60 degrees in 

 zero weather t I have a No. 4 Kroeschell 

 hot water boiler. F. t. 



In your climate you should be able 

 to maintain a 60-degree temperature in 

 the houses in question by the use of ten 

 runs of 2-inch pipe in each house. These

HOT WATER PREFERABLE. 



I wish to install a steam heating plant 

 in my greenhouses. The houses are for 

 growing lettuce. After the lettuce is 

 taken oflF, about February 1 to 15, I put 

 in tomato, cabbage, etc., for plants to 

 sell in spring for the garden. 



There are two houses, each 10x40, 

 running north and south, with a valley 

 between them, and my walks run up the 

 center of each house. They are two feet 

 to the eaves and have a rise of one-third 

 pitch. I have walks dug out two feet 

 deep, up each center, giving ample room. 

 The houses are connected by the valley 

 and are open dear through, giving me 

 20x40 feet of glass. I want to plant 

 on solid ground. The houses are boarded 

 with sheeting and then lap weather
