iug two 3-inch flows and ten 2-inch re- 

 turns. My boiler is six feet long and 

 tliirty inches in diameter. It is a shell 

 filled full of 2-inch flues. I believe there 

 are seventy-six flues. The boiler is set in 

 brick. The coldest outdoor temperature 

 is 28 degrees above zero. I use oil (dis- 

 tillate) for fuel. I can not seem to get 

 tl e desired heat when we have continuous 

 cild weather. Would a larger boiler heat 

 ur. my pipes better? Is that a good style 

 f": boiler for hot water, or would a regu- 

 lar steam boiler be better? How do you 

 fi :ure the heating capacity of a boiler 

 f r hot water? The reason I use a shell 

 b'iler full of flues is that I think that 

 ^'len using oil it gets the heat distributed 

 tli rough the water better. E. C. H. 



The size of your boiler is all right and 

 tie style is good, as it has a large heat- 

 ii'SJ surface. Keep the boiler flues clean 

 '<*"(! the water in the system clean, and I 

 ^1 ink it will work satisfactorily. The 

 b'liler has nearly its capacity now, but 

 't will cost quite a sum to put in a new 

 boiler. Give the boiler a good cleaning, 

 and next winter push it in good shape, 

 a'ld it will heat all right. 



In regard to the heating capacity of a 

 hrt water boiler, figure twenty-two square

INSTALL A 



DETROIT" Return Trap 



AND YOU BUY A GUARANTEE 



It takes 90 to 120 lbs. of steam per horse power to operate 

 an ordinary boiler feed pump. "Detroit" Return Traps 

 require only about one-tenth that amount. Why not save 

 the nine-tenths ? 



Write US size of boiler and number of square feet of glass 

 in your greenhouses, for our proposition.
