PIPING IN NEW JERSEY. ' 



I have some space not in use and have 

 decided to build two connected green- 

 houses, each 19x32, ten feet six inches to 

 the ridge and five feet six inches to the 

 eaves. The south gables will be of glass 

 to within three feet of the ground. The 

 sides will have sixteen inches of glass. 

 The north gables will be protected by a 

 boiler-shed fourteen feet wide. The 

 sides, and the south gables up to the 

 glass, will be double boarded, with pa- 

 per between. The north gables will be 

 all double boarded, with paper. The in- 

 terior will have two side benches, raised, 

 under which I would like to run the 

 heating pipes. The center bed will be 

 on the ground. I expect to grow plu- 

 mosus in the center. 



I have a two-horse upright tubular 

 boiler, made by Olney & Warren, New 

 York. Will this give sufficient heat 

 with hot water for this climate, where 

 the temperature rarely goes below zerof 

 How shall I pipe these houses? Please 

 give size and number of pipes. 



J. R. C. 



The two houses, each 19x32, will re- 

 quire at least ten 2-inch pipes in each 

 house, with hot water, to carry a tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees during your cold- 

 est weather. I judge that a flow with 

 four returns under each side bench will 

 prove as satisfactory an arrangement as 

 you can make. The boiler in question 

 will carry the houses in mild weather, 

 but is too small for best results during 

 cold weather. You should have a boiler 

 rated to carry about 750 square feet of 

 heating surface for best results. Your 

 boiler will carry about 350 square feet.

Our Compound Vacuum System requires smaller steam mains and connections, se- 

 cures better circulation in distant parts of the system, and is more flezlblei economi-

 on the market. Also have a simple heat regrulation that is easily connected with it if de- 

 sired. Write for catalogue and investigate. Don't take our word alone for it.

PIPING IN KANSAS. 



I have a small greenhouse, 10x30 feet, 

 inside measure, to which was added dur- 

 ing the last year a house 14x30 feet, 

 inside measure. They are joined togeth- 

 er and under one roof, as it were. The 

 entire floor is three feet and a half low- 

 er than the outside surface soil, being 

 what may be termed a dug-out. The 

 house runs north and south. All the 

 walls are of brick and are four feet 

 high, except the west wall of the original 

 house, which is six feet high. Eight 

 feet of the first house has been cut off 

 by a partition, for a furnace room. The 

 roof of the part 10x30 is three-quar- 

 ter span, with the sashbars on the east
