of 1%-inch pipe. Please state the 

 simplest way of arranging the pipes. 



B. H. S. 



If you wish to use 2-inch pipe for 

 heating these houses by means of steam, 

 install five pipes, one flow and four re- 

 turns, in the 10-foot house; six pipes, 

 one flow and five returns, in the 12-foot 

 houses, and eight pipes, one flow and 

 seven returns, in the 20-foot houses. The 

 flow in each case would run under the 

 ridge and the returns along the side 



walls or beneath the benches, according 

 to the construction of the house or the 

 crop to be grown. 



I am not able to identify your boiler 

 from the memoranda given, so judge it 

 would be best that the question of con- 

 verting it into a steam boiler be taken 

 up directly with the manufacturers.
