OF THE COUNTY OF TYRONE. 197 



ftone, for perhaps three or four miles, renders this arti- 

 cle extremely high, as the ftone is confiderably heavier 

 before than after it is burned. The true plan, there- 

 fore, is, to have the lime-kiln built as convenient to 

 the quarry and bog as poflible, particularly to the 

 former. 



At a public lime-kiln, where bufinefs is well at- 

 tended to, there will feldom happen any difappoint- 

 ment ; whereas there is no end to the delay and trou- 

 ble attending lime burned in the ufual way, in little 

 forry pot-kilns,* which are perpetually out of order. 



Fully convinced of the utility of a public kiln, I 

 have engaged in this bufinefs upon a large fcale, and 

 am convinced, that I ftiall be able to fell lime at 

 a barrel the year round. 



Qbftacles to improvement , and the beft means of removing 

 them. 



The means of improvement, being underftood and 

 complied with, muft, in fome mqafure, remove the 

 obftacles.

* A pot-kiln is nothing more than a hole dug out of the 

 fide of a dry bank, built up with ftones, without any cement, 

 one fide of which muft be broke ( up for the purpofe of getting 

 out the lime, when burned. Thefe kilns are of various files, 

 but feldora exceed thirty .barrels of roche-lime.
