Coal should be broken into pieces as nearly as possible the size of an ordinary apple, and, when put upon the fire, must be spread over the surface of the fire as largely and evenly as possible, giving the sides and corners the preference, but must never be thrown in heaps on any part of the fire. 4. Firemen should fire lightly and often, and avoid heavy firing. Charges of four and five shovelfuls of coal, while running along ordinarily, constitute heavy firing. One or two shovelfuls per fire, under ordinary conditions, are as many as may be used. 5. When clinkers have formed in the firebox, firemen must remove them at the first opportunity, and must not try to run the last part of a trip with a clinkered fire, , if there is opportunity to clean it. The fire should never be cleaned while the engine is working steam. 6. Firemen must keep the steam pressure as nearly within the limits of ten pounds as possible. While the injector is working after steam is shut off from the cylinders, the blower must be used when necessary to prevent lowering steam pressure. 7. To prevent or stop blowing off--increase the boiler feed; or, if necessary, drop the dampers. If necessary to open the fire-door for this purpose while the engine is working, open but slightly, or swing open and shut. 8. Smoking and drumming of engines should be prevented at stations, or while near or attached to passenger trains. 9. Ashpans or fires must not be cleaned near any bridge or culvert, depot or building, or on any frog or switch; and in all cases the fire removed from locomotives must be thoroughly drowned with water. . .
