 mate. W. H. B. 



For the house in which beds are used, 

 run one 214-inch flow under the ridge 

 and one 2-inch flow on each plate. Use 

 the 21^ -inch flow to feed four 2-inch 

 returns, two of which should be car- 

 ried each way on the end and side 

 walls, back to the heater. "With each 

 of the 2-inch flow pipes, feed two 2- 

 inch returns to run on the side walls. 



In the house with raised benches, use 

 the same method of piping, with this 

 exception: Instead of carrying four 

 returns from the 2 1/^ -inch flow on the 

 side walls, connect it with five 2-inch 

 returns under the benches. This should 

 give a temperature of 55 degrees when 

 the outside temperature is 10 degrees 

 below zero. 



FEEN INDUSTRY AT BENNINGTON. 



More than $20,000 was paid out dur- 

 ing the months of September, October, 

 and the first half of November to gath- 

 erers of wild 'ferns in the four towns, 

 Woodford, Stamford, Searsburg and 

 Readsboro, in Bennington county, Ver- 

 mont. In this sum is not included the 

 outlay for packing and hauling, but it 

 comprises the actual wages of the pick- 

 ers. It involves a mathematical prob- 

 lem that is easily solved, as the pickers 

 were paid by the piece, 4 cents a hun- 

 dred, and as there have been over 50,- 

 000,000 ferns shipped out of the moun- 

 tains this season, the sum total is easily 

 reached. All of 25,000,000 were sent 

 out from the freight house of the Rut- 

 land railroad, in Bennington, and the 

 shipments from the other side of the 

 mountain, by the way of North Adams, 

 Mass., have been even larger. 



After the slopes of the Taconic moun- 

 tains, which run through the southeast- 

 em half of Bennington county, were 

 stripped of their evergreen timber, the 

 original growth was followed by a for- 

 est of hardwood and with it came the 

 ferns, which in many sections com- 

 pletely cover the ground. Only two 

 varieties are used by the greenhouses,
