The use of a fair proportion of No. 1 buckwheat coal, the amount dependent upon the weather and as experience dictates, as a "layer" for stove, egg, or broken anthracite in the furnace, is the key to the economy, Administrator Potter says. The use of buckwheat for a "top dressing" for the fire when it is banked at night, the letter states, re sults in the draft being held better aitd aids in the proper and economic combustion of the coal body as a whole. In the morning, the state ment continues, the furnace could be shaken down as usual and fired with some of the regular coal. At the proper time, afterwards, a quantity of the fine coal can be used as a dressing as before. The letter says that the two kinds of coal should never be mixed but kept in different bins and should not be used except with the larger sizes of anthracite.
