will be well to use two 2 V^ -inch flow 

 pipes, carried either upon the plates or 

 truss rods, and seven 2-inch returns on 

 the walls will answer as returns. Of 

 these, four should be upon the outer wall. 

 In house "B" use two 2i/j-inch flow 

 pipes and five 2 -inch returns. 



The cost of installing the plant can- 

 not be closely estimated, as the kind of 

 boiler used would make quite a differ- 

 ence, and the discounts that could be ob- 

 tained upon the boiler and the piping 

 would vary so much in different places as 

 to make an estimate of little heljv The 

 best way to ascertain the cost is to ob- 

 tain bids from two or three reputable 

 firms. 



TWO OHIO HOUSES. 



We expect to build two greenhouses 

 in the spring. The houses will run east 

 and west. The south house will be used 

 for lettuce and the north one for carna- 

 tions. The lettuce house will be 19x75 

 and the south wall will be four feet high, 

 with three feet of glass. The carnation 

 house will be 14x75, with a wooden wall 

 on the north side. The west end of both 

 houses will be built against a shed, but 

 at the east end there will be glass above 

 a 3-foot wooden wall. The ridge in both 

 bouses will be eleven feet high and the 

 partition wall will be glass. 



Kindly give me the best plan for 

 heating these houses. We have a Wilks 

 boiler, 36x42, rated at 1,450 feet of 

 4-inch pipe. Will it answer the purpose, 

 and will it also be sufficient for an extra 

 house, 14x75, to be joined to the north 

 side? What do you think of the plan 

 of making the south wall glass to within 

 one foot of the ground! Would you 

 make the north wall solid, as we propose t 

 If we use two benches, with a walk be- 

 tween them and a narrow walk along 

 the side walls, will we thus have a con- 

 venient arrangement and utilize as much 

 space as possible? D. A. A. C. 



To heat these houses and an additional 

 house 14x75 feet will require about 1,200 

 square feet of radiation. This is some- 

 what under the rating of the Boiler 

 named, which would undoubtedly main- 

 tain a temperature of 50 degrees in the 

 three houses, but it would be rather more 

 eeonomical of fuel if a boiler with a 

 somewhat larger rating could be secured. 

 The arrangement of the benches so as to 

 allow a narrow walk along each side wall,
