Greenhouse Heating. 



SuBSCBSERs are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard 

 to any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Beview to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 heating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 trade to buy, and each article the best 

 la the special field of its adaptation. 



BETTER USE 2V2-INCH FLOWS. 



I am about to pipe a carnation house, 

 26x130 and six feet high at the sides. 

 I shall use hot water heat. Please in- 

 form me how much pipe will be needed 

 to heat such a house to a temperature 

 of 50 to 60 degrees in zero weather. 

 I have a lot of 2-inch pipes on hand; 

 could I use these for flows and how 

 many would be required? Or would it 

 be better to use larger pipesf How 

 many 2-inch returns should be used? 

 What size of main will be needed? 

 There is a 6-inch opening in the boiler. 

 This is a new departure for me, ' as I 

 have alway.s, heretofore, had steam 

 heat. I am located in southwestern 

 Michigan. H. E. 



To heat a greenhouse 26x130 feet, 

 to 60 degrees, with not to exceed four 

 feet of glass in each wall, will re- 

 quire five 2V2-inch flow pipes. One 

 should be upon each plate, another 

 on each of the purlins, and the fifth 

 about three feet under the ridge. In ad- 

 dition to the flow pipes there should be 

 ten 2-inch returns, two of them located 

 on each wall and the others under the 

 benches. This will allow two returns 

 for each flow. The use of a 6-inch 

 main flow would give the best results, 

 but a 5-inch pipe for the flow would 

 answer. 



It is not advisable to use 2-inch pipe 

 for the flows, in houses more than 120 

 feet long, unless the boiler is at least 

 four feet below the returns or a gen-

 2-inch returns for each flow would make 

 rather more radiation than could be 

 carried to advantage. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



Though the future eflfect of the Euro- 

 pean war on the foreign market for 

 coal is still shrouded in uncertainty. 



there is no uncertainty as to the prea 

 ent situation in the home markets, for 

 the increasing activity in the ordinary 

 channels of the trade is plainly dis- 

 cernible. Even if there were no un 

 usual circumstances to act as a spur to 

 the coal business, there would of course 

 be a natural increase in sales at the 

 approach of autumn, and this natural 

 increase is undoubtedly stimulated now
