Gentlemen: — 



We are having the very best results from the big boiler (30x48 

 Wilks Heater ) now in use on the farm, and I cannot too highly 

 congratulate you on the way it is giving us service, for this morning 

 we have 36 degrees below zero and the " big fellow " just kept the 

 greenhouse standing at 57 degrees from 8 o'clock last night until 

 6 o'clock this morning without any attention. 



Yours very truly,

PIPING A UBAN-TO. 



I have a lean-to, 20x20 feet and 

 twelve feet to the ridge, with 3-foot 

 board side walls. The front end is 

 five feet six inches high. All of the 

 sides and the front above the wall are 

 glass. ^ I shall heat this house from an 

 adjoining building, where I can only 

 go three feet at the most below the 

 floor level of the greenhouse. The 

 greenhouse faces south. I shall want 

 a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees in 

 zero weather. What amount of pipe is 

 needed and how should it be distrib- 

 uted! The house has been used as a 

 cold grapery, but I can alter the 

 benches to meet the demands of the 

 heating system. I intend to take the 

 grapevines out, rearrange the benches 

 and put another bench in the place 

 where the grapes are now, making one 

 continuous bench along the south wall. 

 There is a door in the east side of the 

 lean-to, about eight feet from the ad- 

 joining building. The boiler is near 

 the northwest corner of the house, but 

 in the basement of the other building. 

 I am located in the southeastern part 

 of New York state. F. C. M.

 range it in this way, a 2 1^ -inch flow

 feet above the point where the pipe 

 turns to enter the greenhouse, should 

 be connected by means of a 1-inch pipe. 

 The flow pipe should then be carried 



into the greenhouse until even with the 

 center of the doorway, when it should 

 turn and run to the east side of the 

 house. There it should divide and a
