Cheap
Fuel
One
bushel
of
small
coal
or
sawdust,
or
both
mixed
together,
two
bushels
of
sand,
one
bushel
and
a
half
of
clay.
Let
these
be
mixed
together
with
common
water,
like
ordinary
mortar;
the
more
they
are
stirred
and
mixed
together
the
better;
then
make
them
into
balls,
or,
with
a
small
mould,
in
the
shape
of
bricks,
pile
them
in
a
dry
place,
and
use
when
hard
and
sufficiently
dry.
A
fire
cannot
be
lighted
with
them,
but
when
the
fire
is
lighted,
put
two
or
three
on
behind
with
some
coals
in
front,
and
the
fire
will
be
found
to
last
longer
than
if
made
up
in
the
ordinary
way.

Economy
of
Fuel.
There
is
no
part
of
domestic
economy
which
everybody
professes
to
understand
better
than
the
management
of
a
fire,
and
yet
there
is
no
branch
in
the
household
arrangement
where
there
is
a
greater
proportional
and
unnecessary
waste
than
arises
from
ignorance
and
mismanagement
in
this
article.

The
Use
of
the
Poker.
The
use
of
the
poker
should
be
confined
to
two
particular
points--the
opening
of
a
dying
fire,
so
as
to
admit
the
free
passage
of
the
air
into
it,
and
sometimes,
but
not
always,
through
it;
or
else,
drawing
together
the
remains
of
a
half-burned
fire,
so
as
to
concentrate
the
heat,
whilst
the
parts
still
ignited
are
opened
to
the
atmosphere.
