Greenhouse Heating. 



If your coal bins are not filled, note 

 that the anticipated car shortage rapidly 

 is becoming a reality. The heedless are 

 almost certain to find themselves in 

 trouble when the real cold weather comes. 



The coal market is strong — not much 

 change from previous reports. The warm 

 weather early in September delayed the 

 rush that the coal trade is expecting. 

 The smokeless coals are moving more 

 rapidly now that the temperature is 

 lower and those who are not delivering 

 on contracts are not anxious to sell, be- 

 lieving that a good frost will enable 

 them to get even better prices than the 

 excellent prices now prevailing. 



HOUSE AND HOTBEDS. 



I am building a greenhouse 12x60 

 feet, eight feet to the ridge, walls four 

 feet high, of concrete blocks. It runs 

 north and south, with the boiler house 

 at the north end of the greenhouse. I 

 would like to put in hot water heat. 

 Please instruct me how to pipe and 

 what kind of boiler I must have to get 

 a temperature of 60 degrees in zero 

 weather. We seldom have 5 degrees 

 below zero in this part of Ohio. Can 

 the boiler stand level with the green- 

 house floor, or must it be set a foot or 

 two lower than the floor! I also wish 

 to heat with the same boiler my hotbeds.

which run along the east side of my 

 greenhouse and are 6x60 feet, two and 

 one-half feet deep. How and where 

 shall I lay the pipes f I only intended to 

 use the hotbeds in the spring. L. S. 



A temperature of 60 degrees can be 

 obtained in a greenhouse 12x60 feet by 

 running a 2i^-inch flow pipe one foot 

 below the ridge to the farther end of 

 the house, where it should be connected 

 with eight 2-inch returns, four on each 

 wall of the house. Arranged in this way 

 and with a slight fall in the flow pipe, 

 it would be possible to locate the boiler 

 at the level of the floor if this would 

 give the returns a slight fall. It would 

 be better, however, if the boiler could 

 be depressed so that the top would be 

 lower than the returns.
