might not wholly remedy the difficulty 

 because the connections on a patchwork 

 job like this may be laid out so that 

 one house might get the bulk of the 

 benefit and another not get its full share. 

 These circulators now, however, are auto- 

 matic in their action; that is, they stand 

 idle when their assistance is not required 

 and start into operation when the circu- 

 lation falls below a certain point. 



WHAT'S WORTH HAVING. 



' ' What 's worth having is worth going 

 after," according to an old saying and 

 a modem business house, for Kroeschell 

 Bros. Co., Chicago, wants business and 

 believes that the way to get it is not to 

 sit down and wait; quite on the other 

 hand, they go after it. A steel boiler is 

 not the handiest thing in the world for a 

 traveler to carry as a sample, but each 

 year Kroeschell 's sends at least one boiler 

 to the trade exhibition that is so large a 

 part of the S. A. F. convention. This 

 season, at Cincinnati, the company had 

 two boilers, as shown in the accompany- 

 ing illustration, showing their display — 

 and one of the boilers was of the ponder- 

 ous size capable of heating 36,000 square 

 feet of glass, a duty that identical one 

 will perform for W. J. Eitterskamp, 

 Princeton, Ind.

A good many men who make excellent 

 boilers fail to appreciate the value of 

 publicity and hence fail to make as many 

 boilers as they might. But Kroeschell 's 

 know that publicity pays, that advertis- 

 ing in all its forms is a good investment, 

 for the man who needs a boiler isn't 

 likely to buy one he never read about or 

 saw, and after he has bought he likes 

 to see the firm that made the boiler act 

 as though they still were out for busi- 

 ness; he Ukes to see them push, and says 

 to his neighbors, "Yes, I've got one of 

 their boilers ; they 're all right. ' ' 



SLOW CIRCULATION. 



I have two small east and west violet 

 houses, 14x50 and 10x50, connected with 

 a concrete wall on the north side and 

 thirty inches of glass in the south wall. 

 I use a Wilks hot water heater. The 

 heater is located in a pit at the east 

 end of the houses. I have a separate 

 2-ineh flow pipe in each house and thir- 

 teen 1 14 -inch return pipes all told, five 

 on the north wall, five on the south wall 

 and three on posts between the houses.

The flow pipes are run from the boiler 

 up to within a foot of the ridge and 

 under the ridge to the west end of the 

 houses, and there drop to the return 

 pipes. The flow pipe in the 14-foot house 

 supplies the five returns on the north wall 

 and the three between the houses. The 

 flow in the 10-foot house supplies the 

 five returns on the south wall. The ex- 

 pansion tank is on the main return near 

 the boiler and is about four feet above 

 the highest point in the system. The 

 flow pipes are about six inches higher at 

 the west end of the house than they are 

 at the east end, and the returns are about 

 six inches lower at the east, or boiler end. 

 I don't get the heat that I should. It 

 keeps me hustling to keep the heat up on 

 cold nights. Is the system installed cor- 

 rectly? Should the flow pipes still be on 

 an incline after leaving the riser, as I 

 now have them, or lower at the west end 

 of the house? Have I pipes enough and 

 will the boiler carry more? E. W. G. 



Your system is installed correctly, but 

 you may have to use a circulator to push 

 the water around, as the friction in l^^- 

 inch pipe is pretty great. G. T. E. 



BOILER IN A DAMP SPOT. 



I expect to erect two houses this sea- 

 son, one for roses and one for carna- 

 tions, and later plan to double the length 

 of the houses. I shall use a seventy-two 

 horse-power, fire-box tubular boiler and 

 heat with steam at low pressure. The 

 boiler will be located at the east end of 

 the greenhouses, not adjoining, but twenty 

 feet away. There is about four inches fall 

 to the hundred feet from east to west 

 for a little over 400 feet. In digging out 

 the boiler pit I am satisfied we shall come 

 to water about seven feet from the sur- 

 face and there is no point to drain it to. 

 Is this not a case where I am compelled
