Get One for Your Boiler 



The Generator Is glTlug good satisfaction. 

 It adds to the capacity of the boiler by in- 

 creasing the velocity of the hot water circu- 

 lation. :It also maintains a steadier and 

 more even temperature all over the houses 

 when in use. In case of sudden change 

 in the weather, the pipes can be made hot 

 very quiclily. With the thermometer regis- 

 tering zero outside it was no trouble to Iceep 

 np the temperature in the houses, the boiler 

 running seven hours without attention. 



I had no trouble in connecting the Genera- 

 tor to our heating system, following your 

 Instructions and the blue print you sent. 

 I feel that the Generator would benefit any 

 system of hot water heating.

fireenhoose Heating. 



The unusually severe cold weather, 20 

 degrees or more colder than normal for 

 this time of year, not only made inroads 

 on the growers' coal piles, but tied up 

 railroad traffic, making it difficult to re- 

 plenish as promptly as usual. It is a 

 mistake to pursue a hand to mouth policy. 



SIZE OF BOILER NEEDED. 



How many horse-power will be required 

 to heat 130,000 square feet of glass sur- 

 face to 60 degrees in zero weather? 



A. R. 



The amount of radiation required will 

 be about 26,000 square feet, and for this 

 amount it will be well to use 350 to 400 

 horse-power, to do the work economically. 

 My suggestion would be to put in two 

 200 horse-power boilers, as it would be 

 possible to heat the plant with one of the 

 boilers in mild weather and it might not 

 be necessary to keep up steam in the 

 other boiler for more than two months 

 during midwinter. This plan would also 

 furnish a reserve boiler, which could be 

 relied on to maintain at least 50 degrees 

 in any weather, should anything happen 

 to the other boiler. 



THE COAL MAHKET. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, report the following: 



* ' The anthracite coal market conditions 

 are active, there being a large demand 

 for domestic sizes from the retail coal 

 yards and for steam sizes for manufac- 

 turers and heating purposes. A number 

 of operations in the field are closed down 

 on account of shortage of water, which 

 is more serious than it has -been for many 

 years, and it will require considerable 

 rain to remedy the situation. Water is 

 being hauled great distances in tank cars 

 and tne situation is rather precarious in 

 many sections. This, of course, has a 

 tendency to create a shortage. 



"The bituminous coal market is quite 

 active indeed, owing to the resumption 

 of business generally, and also to car 

 shortage, which is very marked. Almost 

 every operator is suffering seriously from 

 this cause, and a car shortage so early 

 in the year would lead one to believe 

 that instead of getting better, it will get 

 worse as the winter advances. It is, 

 therefore, advisable to keep good stocks 

 of both anthracite and bituminous coal 

 on hand." 



HEAT FROM RESIDENCE. 



I have a house lox4.'3 feet and nine 

 feet to the ridge, with 24-inch board 

 walls, glass gables and 30-inch glass 

 sides. I want to heat the house from a 

 boiler which I intend to put into the 

 cellar of the residence, fifty feet away. 

 The bottoms of the benches are six feet 

 ten inches above the level of the cellar 

 floor, but I could make a pit and put the 

 boiler still lower, if necessary. I intend 

 to have the pipes enter on the right side 

 of the greenhouse door and go clear 

 around to the left, the returns coming 

 back to the point of entrance. What size 

 of boiler would I need to keep the house 

 at least at 40 degrees, when the weather 

 goes to 15 degrees below zero? What 

 kind of pipes should be used, 4-inch or 

 smaller f 



The pipes will have to be carried 

 underground. Will I have to carry the 

 flow right over on an incline or could I
