READ WHAT THEY SAY OF THE WILKS BOILERS 



Gentlemen : Fergus Falls, Minn., May 12, '06. 



I cannot say anytbing but good about tbe two Wilks boilers I bought 

 from you in 190^. They have given me the beat of satisfaction ; would 

 have no others. Yours truly.

V Gentlemen : Dallas, Texas, Dec. 1, 1904. 



I find that one of the best boilers 1 have is one of your Wilks No. 24. 

 What can 70a sell me one more for ? I use it for soft coal and it is 

 simply fine. Yours truly,

HEAT FOR A FRAME. 



1 should like to run a row of hotbed 

 sash at the south side of my south house, 

 which is eighty feet long and four feet to 

 the gutter, with sixteen inches of glass. 

 The sashes are to connect to the wall un- 

 der the glass. I wish to run a 2-inch hot 

 water flow down under the gutter in the 

 greenhouse and return under the south 

 side of the frame with a 2%,-inch return. 

 Will this give heat enough to grow let- 

 tuce, radishes and geraniums, if I need 

 room? Our winters in this part of In- 

 liana are, as a rule, very mild. 



F. C. A. 



In order to maintain a temperature of 

 15 to 50 degrees in the hotbed during 

 'lie winter, two of the 2 Mi-inch pipes or 

 it least two 2-inch pipes would be re- 

 Muired, but if it is merely during the 

 spring months and if it will answer if 

 t'rost is kept out on the very cold nights, 

 it will suffice if only one 2^-inch pipe 

 i? used. 



LACK OF CIRCULATION. 



Can you tell me what is the matter 

 vith my heating plant? I have a 30x10 

 ''ibular boiler. My greenhouse, 20x100, 

 '"^ heated by a 4-inch main and three 

 r anifolds of four 2-inch returns each ; 

 '«elve in all. The main is five feet six 

 lii'hes above the boiler, with a drop of 

 *wclve inches at the farther end of the 

 house. The returns are twelve inches 

 •""low the boiler at the boiler, and on a 

 'e^el at the farther end. There appears 

 fo be no circulation of water through the 

 pipes. 



The expansion tank is located three 

 •"id one-half feet above the main and is 

 attached to the returns. It looks to me 

 as if the hot water all went through the 

 ^'xpansion tank, as it boils over before
