Tenth. The indigo being pressed into 

 mass, mark it with the end of the cutting knife, 

 a 3-inch flat rule, or as may be, wider or narrower 

 according to the designed size of the cakes ; in 

 the middle of which stamp the factory mark. Then 

 divide it, either with the knife, or by a brass wire,

 squares, and let them be taken to the drying-house, 

 and placed on the mackans ; each day's manufacture

 the same. The best plan to prevent mistakes, or 



roguery amongst the native servants, is to stamp the 





 cakes with the number of the day they were made, 



beginning with No. 1 the first day, and continuing on 

 the numbers to the end of the season.

 boys to turn them until dry, the cake-cutter and 

 rung-mistrie also should be in attendance, and take

 the drying-house, otherwise much breakage may be 

 apprehended. 



Twelveth. The indigo being considered all but 

 dry, have the whole placed in the sweating room ; 

 and with the cakes build up a consolidated wall

 of sunn between them ; the whole of the indigo being 

 disposed of in this way, and the solid wall formed,
