and it will be better if it is 750 square 

 feet. About 150 square feet of radia- 

 tion will be required for the dwelling, 

 with ninety feet in the larger and sixty 

 in the smaller radiator. It would be bet- 

 ter to place 30-foot radiators in each of 

 the small rooms and two of about forty- 

 five feet each in the large room, locating 

 them near an exposed wall or under a 

 window if possible. 



THREE CONNECTED HOUSES. 



Will you please tell me how to pipe 

 my three connected houses for hot wa- 

 ter? The houses run east and west. 

 The north house, which is the largest, 

 is three-quarter-span. It is 18x65 feet 

 and twelve feet to the ridge. I want it 

 piped for 60 degrees when the tempera- 

 ture outside is at zero. The middle 

 house is 12x65 feet and ten feet to the 

 ridge. In it I want a temperature of 

 55 degrees. The south house is 12x65 

 «»et and ten feet to the ridge. It has 

 eighteen inches of glass in the south wall. 

 I wish to run it at 52 degrees. 



The east ends of all the houses are 

 glass. The north wall of the largest 

 house is six and one-half feet high and 

 contains no glass. There are three 

 benches in each house, and the center 

 bench in the largest house is six feet 

 wide. I wish to use 3-inch pipe part 

 of the way, for flows and returns, and 

 then use 2-inch flows and I'/^-inch re- 

 turns. I have a twelve horse-power trac- 

 tion engine boiler. The boiler pit is at 

 the northwest corner of the north 

 house, and is six feet deep. I am lo- 

 cated in southern Tennessee. 



C. M. W. 



For the house 18x65 feet, to be 

 heated to 60 degrees, use two 3-inch 

 flows and eight 2-inch returns. In the 

 middle house, 12x65 feet, a temperature 

 of 55 degrees can be obtained by using 

 two 3-inch flows and four 2-inch re- 

 turns. In the south house, which is 

 also 12x65 feet, and in which it is de- 

 sired to have a temperature of 52 de- 

 grees, the same number of pipes should 

 be used as for 55 degrees, as there is 

 an exposed wall with eighteen inches 

 of glass. If 2-ineh flows and l^^-inch 

 returns are to be used for the last two 

 houses, it will be necessary to use three 

 flows and six returns. 



PBOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business was slow in this vicinity last 

 week and stock moved with consider- 

 able apathy. Monday there was a slight 

 flurry, caused by the demand for flowers 

 for the funeral of Gen. Charles R. Bray- 

 ton, the "blind boss" of the repub- 

 lican party. Carnations are scarce, and 

 much complaint is being heard on all 

 sides of the disease that is cutting off 

 the plants in alarming numbers. Asters 

 are practically gone and chrysanthe- 

 mums are becoming more plentiful. 

 Prices range normal. 



B. I. Horticnitaral Show. 



The September exhibition under the 

 auspices of the Rhode Island Horticul- 

 tural Society was held in Columbia hall, 

 September 29 and 30, and by long odds 

 excelled any show held by the society 

 in many years. It was for dahlias, as- 

 ters and fruit. Several new policies 

 adopted resulted in much benefit to the 

 society. A practical, liberal and ener-
