The Eeview is glad to answer in this 

 department any inquiry with regard to 

 greenhouse heating. Give all the details 

 of your problem, not only as a guide to 

 an intelligent answer, but so that others 

 similarly situated may derive a benefit. 



THE COAL TRADE. 



The coal trade is atill unseasonably 

 quiet, but producers claim that the de- 

 mand must shortly expand materially. 

 Consumers have been buying strictly 

 from hand to mouth all through the sum- 

 mer, but such a policy is fraught with 

 danger as winter approaches, since snow 

 storms are apt to seriously interfere with 

 deliveries. The normal output of bi- 

 tuminous coal in the United States is 

 1,000,000 tons every working day. In- 

 stead of running full time and allowing 

 stocks to pile up to an enormous extent, 

 producers have merely mined in the same 

 ratio as the consumption. The working 

 week has been reduced by several large 

 companies to four or five days, and there 

 have been frequent idle days not report- 

 ed by the newspapers. The increase in 

 consumption, which cannot be far distant, 

 means that there will be a rush for coal. 

 In the meantime prices are not being 

 reduced, at least openly, and perhaps not 

 to any extent privately. 



INSUFnCIENT PIPING. 



I should like to know how much pipe 

 I need to heat my greenhouses. There 

 are two houses, each 18x110 and ten feet 

 high to the ridge. In one of the houses

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

 be cheap when time, labor and cost 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,

at present I have one 2-inch flow in the 

 gable, running down to the other end, 

 and there connecting with ten 1-inch 

 pipes running back on the exposed side. 

 In the other house I have one 2-inch flow 

 in the gable, and running back on the 

 exposed side are five 1^4 -inch pipes. Is 

 this enough piping, or will I have to run 

 some in the center of the two houses!

 to use hot water or steam. I have as- 

 sumed, from the size of the pipe you 

 have installed and the length of the 

 houses, that you are to use steam. I 

 have calculated the piping on the basis 

 of a temperature of 60 degrees, which 

 may or may not be what you desire. If, 

 as I assume, you are located in Massa- 

 chusetts, and require the temperature 

 mentioned, with steam, the house in which
