Trouble With Greenhouse Heating, 
1 BUILT a greenhouse about a year ago 
17x50 feet. It is heated by a No. 0 
boiler with two two-inch flow pipes, 
and six 1%-ineh returns on each side. 
The 10-inch smoke pipe is 10 feet high, 
galvanized iron, and goes straight up from 
the top of the boiler through the roof. 
This does not always draw well. The 
trouble may be due to the chilling of the 
pipe above the roof. I find that particu¬ 
larly when I am trying to warm things up 
the pipe below the roof is much the warm¬ 
est part of the system, and there is always 
some heat. I had been ■wondering if it 
would be safe and practical to run the 
pipe part of the length of the greenhouse 
and then up, but if poor draught is due to 
chilling of the flue I would be no better 
off as far as draft is concerned. If I built 
a sufficiently high brick or concrete chim¬ 
ney at the far end of the house, and ran 
the pipe full length, would it draw which¬ 
ever way the wind was? The pipe would 
rise about three feet, without shading the 
bench much, as the boiler is situated iu 
the north corner and the house faces 
about southeast. 
A neighbor has a brick chimney 16 or 
20 feet high, and has a great draft, but 
the loss of heat up the chimney is very 
great. I understand that quite a flat 
brick flue works well with a coal fire. 
Would a pipe radiate heat and draw well 
with three feet rise in the length of the 
house. Would a concrete chimney be as 
good as brick and is a round flue better 
than square? IIow large should it be? 
Ontario, Canada. J. R. J. 
J. R. J. does not give area of grate in 
boiler, so it is difficult to determine area 
of smokestack. If a stack about 12 
inches diameter by 20 to 25 feet high were 
constructed at far end of house a 12- 
inch flue with three foot rise should give 
good draught. Terra-cotta pipe could be 
used for chimney, and same material used 
in house for flue, unless your boiler 
throws out a great amount of heat, which 
will probably crack the first few sections. 
Sheet iron pipe could be used in green¬ 
house. but terra-cotta, concrete, or brick 
would be all right for outside. I have 
seen such stacks made of wood at a con¬ 
siderable distance from fire, though this is 
not advisable. A round stack is prefer¬ 
able, and concrete could be used very 
well, though terra-cotta would be the 
cheapest article you could get. E. J. w. 
Double-glazed Sash. 
W I1AT are the merits of double-glazed 
hotbed sash? I see that Prof. Mas¬ 
sey, from Maryland, speaks favor¬ 
ably of them. I have been told that dust 
collects in the air space, which would 
prevent the sun’s rays passing through. 
The gardeners about here have no double 
glazed sash ; some speak well of them and 
some against. R. t. b. 
Millbrook. N. Y. 
I have been using the double-glazed 
hotbed sashes for three or four years, 
starting with three as a test and increas¬ 
ing every year since till this year, when 
I concluded I had as many as I needed. 
In this climate, with a frame well banked 
on the outside, no frost ever gets into 
the frame under the double sashes so far 
as I have been able to observe. The chief 
objection to them is their weight, mak¬ 
ing it hard for one man to handle them 
from one frame to another. Dust does 
get in to some extent between the glass 
layers, but I have not found any serious 
damage from this. The great advantage 
is in the saving of labor and expense in 
covering the sashes in cold nights with 
mats. I have no mats and do not need 
them .and I have noted that where mats 
are used the sashes are as much darkened 
by dust as the double-glaced ones unless 
the sashes are regularly cleaned after re¬ 
moving the mats. I have very few single 
sashes and do not want any more.

Beekeeping vs. Spraying in Bloom. 
T HE Massachusetts Board of Agricul¬ 
ture will shortly issue a poster indi¬ 
cating the proper time for spraying 
fruit trees and showing that while trees 
are in blcom, it is not only ineffective as a 
prevention against fruit pests, but also 
directly dangerous in some cases, being 
liable to spoil the blossoms and to cause 
the death of bees, thereby greatly reduc¬ 
ing the amount of fruit set. It is hoped 
to have ready shortly thereafter, for gen¬ 
eral distribution, a more extended circu¬ 
lar or bulletin on this subject. The pos¬ 
ter is intended for use In public places. 
Both poster and circular can be obtained 
as soon as issued by addressing the Sec¬ 
retary of the State Board of Agriculture, 
136 State House, Boston, Mass.
