It was the practice of your scribefor years to have the fireman do all thepumping around stations and whilelying on sidings; between stations theinjector on the right side was used;in freight service this plan worksnicely; while the engineer is switchingand busy with throttle and reverse leverthe fireman has the most tim; and can.

It is the universal practice on a ma-jority of our railway lines, especially inthe winter months, to continually feedthe boiler with one and the same in-jector; in cold weather the frost cocksare kept open on one side, while all thefeed water goes in from the other this continues in some cases fromone shopping of the engine until thenext, and the result is that the feedwater deposit of lime, mud, etc., is verymuch in evidence on the flues andaround the check on the side pumped,while around the opposite check cham-ber boiler is reasonably clean; it has If observation from an extended ex-perience of a quarter of a century as alocomotive engineer cuts any fi
