By simply turning the rod or handle, 

 the ends contract until it will readily 

 pass into the flue. Then by turning the 

 handle in an opposite direction the cleaner

a great deal depends, of course, upon 

 the amount of fire surface and its ar- 

 rangement. I can only say, therefore, 

 that a boiler with a grate area of 1,120 

 ^iquare inches, and with the usual amount 

 of fire surface, should heat 2,000 square 

 feet of radiating surface, and that some 

 boilers with that grate area have suffi- 

 cient fire surface to enable them to heat

The Morehead System does more than drain 

 your steam plant. It feeds the condensa- 

 tion back into the boilers— hot -with the 

 boilers placed on a level with the rest of 

 the steam system in the greenhouse. Feeds 

 the boilers from open or closed heaters, 

 thereby efifecting a marked saving in the 

 amount of new feed water required, and at 

 less heating expense. Simple in construction and operation, it requires practically no 

 attention. Our engineers will tell you all the whys— and sliow^ bow^ tbe Horalieacl

 houses 20x80 feet can be heated to 50 

 degrees with 500 square feet of radiatiop 

 each, provided the walls are not over 

 five feet high and contain no glass. For 



the larger house, 30x100, about 900 

 square feet will be needed, under the 

 same conditions. This makes a total 

 of 1,900 square feet in the three houses,
