'I'he outlet of the filtering tank should be at least six inches lower than the top of the tank, to guard against the water escaping over the top when the screens clog up. There should be two holes at least an inch in diameter in the bottom of the tank, to let the water off wlun necessary, and they should be plugged with very long stoppers, which will come nearly to the surface, so that they can be withdrawn without the arm being much immersed in the water. 'J'he filters themselves may be made of any kind of strong, coarse tlannel. White has the advantage of showing dirt best, and red, Seth Green says, will last the longest; otherwise, one color will do as well as another. These filters must be watched, and, no matter how often they rec^uire it, they must be taken out and cleaned as soon as they are dirty; but in doing this the rear one should be moved as little as possible. If you clean while wet, wash them under water, either with a brush, or a long-handled stick smoothed at the end j the brush is the quickest method, the stick wears them out less. If you have a chance to dry them, the deposit on them can be easily brushed off with a dry brush. It may be riecessary to clean the fil- ters every day. If it is, do not neglect it. The tank is placed, of course, at the oudet of the spring aqueduct, which is usually at the head of the hatching-room, and -* 4 I I.
