rx 4 STATISTICAL SURVEY 



before, and coft fifty-fix pounds. If built at this time, 

 they certainly would come higher. Were I to build 

 another kiln, and that my fituation could afford it, I 

 would prefer twenty feet, for the whole height, to fix- 

 teen feet, or I would rather have the cylindrical part 

 eleven feet, and the conical part nine feet. 



A kiln of this defcription, when well attended, might 

 afford lime fufficient for perhaps thirty or forty farmers 

 of the firft rate. Now fuppofe the whole coft, at this 

 day, might be about two hundred pounds, furely this 

 fum laid on forty large farms, in addition to the rents, 

 could never affect the farmers in any degree, propor- 

 tionable to the advantages they would derive from 

 always having lime at certain and cheap rates. 



In purfuaucc of an original plan of the late Lord 

 Mountjoy's, a large lime-kiln and lime-houfe are now 

 building in a central part of the eftate of Newtown- 

 flew art, the object of which is to fell lime, to the 

 tenantry of the eftate only, at a reafonable price, not 

 exceeding fourteen pence a barrel. This cannot fail in 

 obtaining the defired ends, namely, in enabling the 

 tenant to lay on more lime than what he could, in 

 other refpedts, ever have any chance of doing, and of 

 courfe in raifing the value of the landed property. The 

 good effects, which may arife from this mode, cannot 

 be doubted ; they are already fufficiently proved by a 

 fimilar practice, followed for fever al years back by a 

 neighbouring gentleman, Mr. Stewart of Stranorlar, 

 in the county of DonegtL
