here, somewhat softer than the soft coal, 

 and there are days when the thermometer 

 goes to 30 degrees below zero. We would 

 appreciate your idea as to heating this 

 house. H. F. C. 



I would put three 2-inch pipes under 

 each bench and four on each side wall. 

 Run straight up from the boiler high 

 enough to clear your head in the green- 

 house. Kun the flow pipe through the 

 center of the house, one 5-inch or two 

 2^-inch. At the far end drop into the 

 heating pipes across the end and run the 

 heating pipes into a main cross return of 

 the same size as the flow. Run the re- 

 turn to the boiler, pitching toward it. 

 Keep the return as low as possible. Pitch 

 the flow toward the far end of the house.

TANK ON TOWER. 



I wonder if any reader of the Review 

 can give me advice as to which is the 

 cheapest and best kind of tank to put up 

 to give me enough pressure of water for 

 two or three houses and to act as an ex- 

 pansion tank for my boiler. Would you 

 use wood or galvanized iron? How high 

 must the bottom of it be above the top 

 of the greenhouse, and should it be cov- 

 ered? What should a tank cost, set up 

 complete, without the piping into the 

 greenhouse ? A. W. 



I would put up a wooden tank (cy- 

 press) .on a 60-foot tower. You do not 

 say how much water is consumed on your 

 place per day, so that I could not give 

 an accurate estimate, but should think 

 about $150 would cover the cost. The 

 tank would have to be protected from 

 freezing. Do not be afraid to put up a 

 tank of good proportions, so that you 

 will not have to erect another when the 

 place grows larger. G. T. E.

A£ricultural G>llege Affairs. 



The commencement season is near at 

 hand, and the class work in floriculture 

 has been finished. The demand for 

 graduates has been greater than the sup- 

 ply. Several changes have been intro- 

 duced in the course to be given by the 

 floricultural department during the com- 

 ing year. Up to the present time the

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 UB size of boiler and number of square feet of glass 

 in your greenhouses, for bur ptoposition.

During the first half year a practical 

 course in greenhouse management will 

 be given. There will be no definite lec- 

 ture work, but the students will be 

 taught to do the practical work which 

 goes with the management of a commer-

 this course will be expected to arrange 

 their hours according to the needs of the 

 work. During the second half year the
