Ctst Iron Boilers Break Down Twice in 4 Yeui; Moral : — Use Kroesclell Boilers, They are Safe. 



I bought a No. 2 boiler Id 1902. Takes care of 7000 square fe<>t of glass; would take cat e of 20UO more. I have 

 hnd a Cast Iron Holler, but it broke down twice in four years, always In the coldest weather. It broke 

 down December 29th, 1904, and I loxt all my stock in (ionseqaence. I have now two N^i 2 Kroeschell Boilers, 

 Hud do not worry about their breaking dow n. GRANT NEWt-ORT, Oed«r Rapids, Ii>wa.

torn can be obtained at that depth, and 

 if the wall can be banked up on the 

 outside, it will answer if the excavation 

 is made to the depth of eighteen to 

 twenty-four inches. For the wall proper 

 use a width of eight inches at the bot- 

 tom and six at the top, the taper being 

 on the inside. This will necessitate hav- 

 ing the ridge supported or the roof 

 trussed, »v that there will be no side 

 thrust against the walls. The plates 

 can be bolted to the walls as planned 

 or a 6-inch sub-plate can first be 

 put on and then the regular plate can 

 be naile<l to this. The top of the 

 plate should have a short, sharp slope to- 

 ward the house and a much longer and 

 slighter slope away from the house. 

 The inner edge of the plate should be 

 something over an inch thick and the 

 outer edge should be not over three- 

 quarters of an inch thick. 



Make the walls five feet high. Use 

 sashbarp fourteen feet long, which will 

 make the ridge about twelve feet high. 

 While a grout wall may be used from 

 the ground up to the plate, it would be 

 better to build it only to the height of 

 two and one-half or three feet and then 

 have sashes in the side walls containing 

 24-inch glass, carrying them up to the 

 plates. There should be a purlm in the 

 middle of each side of the roof, and if 

 these are tied together there will be no 

 occasion for a row of posts under the 

 Tidge. It will be desirable, however, to 

 have posts either under the purlins or 

 under the ridge. 



To heat the house to 50 degrees, use 

 two 21^-inch flows and ten 2-inch re- 

 turns. The ^ows and returns can be on 

 the side walls or under the side benches. 



HOT WATER FOE ONE HOUSE. 



"Will you kindly advise us as to the 

 size and quantity of pipe required to 

 heat a house 25x50 feet, and state what 

 would be the best general arrangement 

 of the piping? We require a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees, and in this part of 

 New Hampshire the outdoor tempera- 

 ture occasionally falls to 15 or 20 de- 

 grees below zero. We intend to put in 

 a good cellar under the pptting shed 

 and there will be a good fall to the 

 boiler. We shall use hot water. What
