   layer of wet ashes which are clapped down air-tight by using the fire shovel. This fire, so banked, will keep alight all night and in the morning the housekeeper removes the ashes by shaking up the fire from beneath with the sieve or poker until the ashes are removed, and then fresh layers of balls are added to the top, when the fire commences to burn again. If poked from above downwards it dies out.
   a good culm fire lasts a long while and will need replenishing only twice or three times per day. A culm fire needs a good flue as the fumes or gases given off are harmful and besides attack and corrode most of the common metals, - copper excepted, - throughout the whole house.
   To start a culm fire you must commence by making a small fire of wood, turf, or sea-coal and when this is going well add the culm balls, a few at a time, until you get the fire built up. The culm fire is never stimulated by bellows or fan. Culm is seldom used in either range or stove, anthracite coal being preferred for this purpose.
