Comparative Merits Of Steam aud Hot
water for horticultural Buiidincs.
One Of tho first comparative tests was
made by Peter Henderson about 1885
and the result was saving Of % per
cent. Of fuel In the house heated by
steam. while tho plants thrived equally
well with those In the house heated by
hot water. In bulletin issued by the
Cornell station. Professor Bailey says:
"All our experience emphasizes tho
greater value Of steam, but It must 10
understood that we do not condemn hot
water" The following are some OF tho
conclusions reached after trial Of both
systems ut Cornell station;
The heat from steam pipes Is dis
tributed over greater length OF pipe,
and as steam IL ordinarily carried at n
higher temperature than hot water II
has distinct advantage for heating
long runs.
There Is less loss Of heat In the steam
risers than In tho hot water risers, ana
this means that more heat In the steam
system Is carried TO the further end oil
tie house and more is spent In the re-
tufss &c bottom heat.
steam Is better than hot water foi
long and crooked circuits and pressure
T. Of great utility in increasing the ra-
pidity Of circulation Of steam.
Hot water consumed more coal than
steam and was at the same time less
efficient, although this result would
probably be modified In u shorter and
straighter circuit with greater fall.

Amateurs, as n rule, arc not judicious
when Il comes to watering house plants.
In point Of fact this is an important
matter-one that controls TO a great OK
tent the thrift Of tho plant. A good
plan with most plants is to wait until
the soil Is quite dry, and then water
sufficiently to moisten tho soil down TO
the very bottom OF the Howerpot. Foil
age plants ought to be often sponged or
syringed. so as TO keep the leaves free
from dust. Deprived Of the rain, which
would naturally cleanse them, and not
often watercd with n rose pot or syringcd,
the plants kept in room are apt gradn-
ally to loose their health, even II they do
not die. The remedy for this is tho reg

Tho Durability Of Timber.

The durability OF timber is not wholly
dependent upon the iibers of the wood,
but Is partly owing TO the quality of tho
sap, which in some trees is of highly
preservatiye nature; thus, the oak has
an astringent or tanning principle as
well as u ferruginous quality in its
juices, and 1t is from q combination of
these qualities that its durability in eS'
posed situations is obtained. The quail
ity Of oal; timber Is never better than
when the tree is grown in u good loan
or loamy clay, resting upon n subsoil OF
blue clay, from which it obtains the OK
ido of iron with which the wood bo
comes impregnated.
