JENCES, 



The turfs mould be cut nine inches fquare, and 

 m no greater quantities than can be built up on, 

 the fame day. Having provided turfs, ftretch, a 

 line for a convenient length where the wall is to 

 ftand. Along by it, place a row of the turfs, green 

 fide out, and the fame on the oppofite fide. Fill 

 up the vacant fpace between them with puddle, * 

 prefling it fo as not to difplace any of the turfs* 

 Allow this to dry a little, and then lay on other 

 two rows of turfs, adding puddle as before, and 

 fo on till it be at the defired height. Finim the 

 whole at top by a turf green fide out, and fo large 

 as to reach from fide to fide of the wall, and fo 

 as to be a little rounded in the middle. 



A frame, the fize of the propofed wall, is necef- 

 fary to build by. Two feet and a half at bottom, 

 and two feet at top, will be a proper thicknefs 

 for a four-feet wall. If it be propofed to be high- 

 er, the thicknefs muft increafe. But walls of 

 thefe materials muft not be attempted very high, 

 If, however, moderate-fized walls, of four or five 

 feet highj be properly built as above, they will 

 (land for a great number of years. 



* Puddle is prepared for such purposes from ri^h soft 

 irth, which is free of stones. It is wrought like mortir 

 for building j and should lye some weeks in a large 

 being wrought, before it be used.
