twelve feet above the boiler. There is a 

 %-inch stand pipe, to keep air out of the 

 system, connected to both of the 4-inch 

 perpendicular pipes up out of the boiler. 

 In order to maintain a temperature of 

 50 degrees in one house and 55 degrees 

 in the other house, it is necessary to have 

 on a good, lively fire, and unless the 

 boiler is kept from boiling, the water will 

 blow oflf out of the %-inch stand pipe 

 and thereby empty the system of water. 

 By standing close to the boiler, closing 

 the ash door and damper and opening 

 wide the fire door as soon as the water 

 begins to steam, we are able to keep the 

 water from blowing out of the stand 

 pipe. The consumption of fuel is awful, 

 caused by having to leave the fire door 

 open so that the water in the boiler will 

 not boil and blow oflf. I had the best 

 plumber in the town make the connection 

 to the new boiler and he put on the 

 stand pipe, too. T. W. M. 



This looks like a case of too little 

 radiation, but I cannot say for certain, 

 as you do not state the size of the houses. 

 If you will state the length, width and 

 height of the houses, we can tell. As an 

 immediate help, take out the %-inch 

 stand pipe and put a plug tapped for a 

 pet cock in place first ; then elevate the 

 expansion tank to ten or twelve feet 

 above the highest point in the system. 

 Use a large tank and when the system is 

 cool have only two or three inches of 

 water in the bottom of the tank. These 

 changes will help. L. C. C.

Washington C. H., O. — Poole & Purl- 

 lant have sold their greenhouses in this 

 city to Einar Jensen, manager of the 

 Washington Floral Gardens of Mrs. Rob- 

 ert Buck. The two plants will probably 

 be run under the same firm name. Poole 

 & Purllant are now seeking a new loca- 

 tion in one of the adjoining towns.
