Start it at the point indicated in Fig. here let me warn against making thechimney too small, and this is good advicein building a chimney for any purpose. Fourbricks around make a 4X4 opening; fivearound make a 4XH, while six around make8x8. A half more brick quadruples the ca-pacity.

As for time in building, one canput up a six-brick Hue almost as quickly asa four-brick one While speaking of capacity, the same prin-ciple applies to the entire machine. It nev-er pays to run an engine up to its extremelimit of power. If you are likely to need a large solar at any time, make it large. Youwont need to use it very many times beforeyou have gotten back the extra cost in con-struction; but I will speak of this again whendealing with the subject of wax-presses. You will notice that this plan calls for ahoney-tank 18 in. wide, 8 feet long, and thesame in depth. A round tank would be some-what cheaper, and may be used, but will notfit in so nicely to economize space. If theround form is to be used, the recess to re-ceive it can be made circular. The si
