MATERIAL FOS SMOKESTACK. 



I should like to have the opinion of 

 some of the growers as to what is the 

 best kind of smokestack to erect. Steel 

 stacks are all right as long as they 

 last, but they do not seem to be dura- 

 ble. Sewer tile has been recommended 

 to me for the purpose and I should 

 like to hear, through the columns of 

 The Review, from anyone who has had 

 experience with the tile. J. W. I. 



In selecting the material for a 

 smokestack, a good deal will depend 

 upon the size of stack to be built. 

 For large stacks, with an inside 

 diameter of three feet and upwards, 

 I would generally use reinforced con- 

 crete and it might also be used for, 

 stacks considerably smaller. 



While sewer pipe might be used for 

 the upper part of the stack, if less 

 than sixteen inches in diameter, I 

 would build up a base either of brick 

 or concrete, to the height of four to 

 six feet above the point where the 

 smoke pipe will enter. If a steel stack 

 is used, its life will be prolonged if 

 a similar base is provided. Whether 

 steel, brick or sewer pipe is used for 

 small stacks would depend upon the 

 relative cost at a given point. The 

 so-called non-corroding steel should be 

 used if it can be obtained. 



A SMALL OHIO BANOE. 



Enclosed you will find a sketch of 

 our greenhouses and I wish you would 

 give me plain directions as to how 

 to pipe them so as to maintain 

 a temperature of at least 60 degrees 

 in this Ohio climate. We have been 

 growing a general line of bedding stock 

 during the last three seasons and have 

 been heating the houses with four 

 stoves, but now we intend to put in 

 a boiler. The three houses are all

connected, with no partitions between 

 them. They r«in east and west, with 

 the boiler shed at the east end, and 

 they coyer a space 41x52 feet, exclusive 

 of the 'boiler room. The houses are 

 six feet high at the sides and are sunk 

 about four feet in the ground. The 

 walls are all solid except the one at 

 the south side. The north house is 

 17x52 and the other two are each 

 12x52. The south house contains two 

 solid beds, with a walk in the center; 

 in the other houses most of the benches 

 are raised. 



We have purchased a boiler wliich 

 is supposed to have a capacity of 

 fifteen or twenty horse-power. It is 

 eight feet eleven inches long, over all, 

 and three feet in diameter. It contains 

 twenty-two 3-inch flues. Please let us 

 know the real capacity of the boiler. 

 We have a lot of 1^-inch pipe on hand 

 and should like to use it if we can. 

 What will be the best and easiest way 

 to pipe the houses? G. T. M. 



The boiler described can easily be 

 rated as fifteen horse-power, and will
