A SMALL OHIO HOUSE. 



We are building a lean-to house, 25x28 

 feet and ten feet to the ridge, with 16- 

 foot bars to the south and 12-foot bars 

 to the north. The south wall will be five 

 feet high, with thirty-six inches of glass 

 under the plate. The west end will be 

 half glass and the east end will be con- 

 nected with the side of another house. 

 We will remove the wall of the old house, 

 where the east end of the lean-to adjoins 

 it, and there will be five feet of glass 

 in the upper part of this end of the 

 lean-to; that is, from the gutter up. How 

 many l^^-inch pipes will be needed to 

 heat the new house to 55 degrees in zero 

 weather, using hot water f How many 

 2-inch pipes would answer the same pur- 

 pose? L. F. C. 



To heat the house described to 55 

 degrees, it will be well to use three 2^2- 

 inch flow pipes add either thirteen IVi- 

 inch or ten 2-inch returns. 



PIPING AN E-LINOIS RANGE. 



Please give me directions for piping 

 my new greenhouses. They are each 

 20x80 feet, five feet to the gutter and 

 twelve feet to the ridge. Four of the 

 houses are connected and run east and 

 west. They are well protected on the 

 north by a barn and other buildings. The 

 boiler shed is located at the east end. 

 The south house has eighteen inches of 

 glass in the south wall. The gables of 

 all four houses are glass to within three 

 and one-half feet of the ground. Both 

 side and end walls are double boarded, 

 with paper between. These houses are to 

 be heated to 60 degrees, with the outside 

 temperature at 10 degrees below zero. 



There is also a separate house of the 

 same dimensions, running north and 

 south, with glass in both gables. This 

 house is located across a driveway, twelve 

 feet east of the boiler room. A tempera- 

 ture of 70 degrees is desired for this 

 house. 



We wish to use 4-inch pipe, as we have 

 a large quantity of that on hand. 



How many houses can be heated by 

 a tubular boiler, 3x9 feet, containing 

 twenty-eight 3-inch flues, and how large 

 should the grates bet Also give the 

 dimensions of a chimney that would 

 answer for two such boilers. E. C. S. 



It will require eight 4-inch pipes to 

 give a temperature of 60 degrees and 



Would You Save One-Quarter of Your Coal Bill? 



INSTALL 



A Kitts Improved Hydraulic Damper Regulator. 



Florist Peter Crowe, Rose Place, Utica, N. Y., voluntarily writes:— 



" I am very much pleased to let you know that the Damper Regulator I bought from you 

 last fall is by far the best apparatus for greenhouse purposes. 1 had my book-keeper compare 

 my coal bill of last with that of this year and I find a saving of one Quarter the amount of 

 this year's coal over last year's ; also the past winter was a great deal colder and longer than 

 the winter before. 



" There is another very good feature about the Damper Regulator, as it keeps a uniform 

 heat in all the houses at all times by putting on and shutting off pipes. And I Jind that iny 

 Roses and Ferns did far better this winter than any winter so far, as the temperature was so 

 uniform at all times. 



" My reason for writing you ft to let you know, and also to thank you for bringing my 

 attention to the Regulator, and I assure you I cannot speak too highly of this machine." 



Are not facts like these worth an 

 investigation ?

twelve to give a temperature of 70 de- 

 grees, under the conditions mentioned. 

 Two flows and either four or six return 

 pipes can be used in a house. 



Two boilers, such as described, should 

 heat six or eight houses 20x80 feet. The 

 grates should be three feet square. The 

 chimney should be thirty-five or forty 

 feet high and twenty inches in diameter. 



ONE HOUSE, WITH PARTITION. 



I am planning to erect a house 18%x 

 110 feet, connected on the north and west. 

 It will have cement outside walls, with 

 three feet of glass above the cement. 1 

 expect to put in a glass partition and 

 use the north sixty feet for roses. Will 

 one run of 3-inch pipe, with four 2-inch 

 returns, be sufficient for the other fifty 

 feet, run at 48 to 50 degrees, in this 

 Kansas climate? I want to use the 50-
