 start, transfer them to the tank or can which is to carry 

 them. For small quantities, say 1,000 or 2,000, I use 

 a twelve-gallon tin can. For larger quantities, say 

 5,000 or more, I take a seventy-gallon tank, a drawing 

 of which may be seen in the Massachusetts Report of

 very heavy, 

 and should 

 have four iron 

 handles on the 

 sides to facili-
