work all right. The expansion tank 

 should connect with the main return 

 near the boiler and be at least ten feet 

 higher than the highest point in the 

 house piping. A 50-gallon tank should 

 be ample for this plant at the height 

 mentioned. I am sorry to say I cannot 

 state what the heating capacity of this 

 boiler may prove to be. It is one sel- 

 dom used for such work and is of the 

 least economical type. L. C. C. 



A MUSHROOM HOUSE. 



I have a Wilks boiler, No. 36, with a 

 1%-inch opening. Will one run of 1%- 

 inch pipe, placed at both sides and at 

 the ends, be enough for a mushroom 

 house 12x40, and six feet four inches 

 high, here in northwestern Pennsylvania? 

 Will the expansion tank work satisfac- 

 torily if placed right above the boiler, 

 and will an 8-gaIlon tank be large 

 enough? J. T. T. 



No; such a building will require at 

 least a 2-inch flow, but this can be fed 

 from the l^^-inch opening in the boiler 

 by using a filling to reduce from two to 

 one and one-half inches, using only a 

 close nipple in the boiler. You should 

 have 'a 50-gallon expansion tank, con- 

 nected with the main return close to the 

 boiler by a small pipe, say %-inch, and 

 the tank should be elevated eight or ten 

 feet above the highest point in the sys- 

 tem. \ L. C. C. 



Lewiston, iDAHb. — Mrs. Ora Lydon 

 says her business is twice as good as it 

 was at this time last year and she ex- 

 pects it to continue as active all winter. 

 She built an additional greenhouse, 

 26x58, this fall. 



Charlotte, N. C. — J. C. Dahlborn, 

 formerly a florist in this city, and Mrs. 

 Isabella Lunhanl were married Septem- 

 ber 3 in Burkeville, Va., where Mr. Dahl- 

 born is now engaged in the printing 

 business.

Dear Sirs:— If the Morehead Return Trap cost ten times what you ask for It, It would 

 be cheap when time, labor and co«t of repairs are consid- 

 ered, in comparison with the steam pump I had installed 

 before getting your Trap. I cannot praise it too highly and 

 I recommend it to everyone who talks steam. Yours, 



P. W. MEYER.
