close to keep in
the steam, by
that means saving
fuel-

---page break---

Try whether soot
might not be re- burnt,
by mixing it with
suppose equal parts
of clay, saw dust &
small coal; or perhaps
a greater proportion
of clay would be
necessary-

Make the mixture
up with water into
balls of from 3 to 6
inches diameter-

They might be
used in ovens &c

A mixture of clay
and small coal
made into balls is
known to be a very
cheap fuel. - Ashes
mixed with clay &
saw dust; that is
extremely small
cinders which are
always thrown away
as ashes.

In Wales where
balls of the kind
are constantly used,
they are piled upon
one another at the
back of the grate
from the bottom,
a few coals & wood &
are put in the front
to light the balls,
& the top of the fire
is formed of 2 or 3
rows of them—
