tanks in this house, and the ''tankings" are
carted away, without being first pressed, by the
fertilizer manufacturers; the blood is also taken
away BY them raw, as IN almost every other
case. The gases from the lard-tanks are led into
q condenser, which communicates with close
drain emptJing into the river, and, contrary to
moat houses there is no communication between
the condenser and the boi1er-furnaces, SO that
the gases, instead Of being burnt, pass through
the coIered drain into the river. Steam for all
purposes Is provided by one boiler, made by
Walworth i Co., measuring Il feet long by 4
