Sufficient to half fill the same ; add thereto of clean sharp 

 sand, and of lime fres/: bm-r.t, in about equal quantities, 

 as much as will make, when well stirred up, a wash of 

 moderate consistence. With this wash, as soon as made, 

 pay over the boarding of any barns or buildings, keeping 

 the sand constantly stirred up, so that the brush may tak^ 

 up the sand as well as the lime. As the quantity in the 

 tub decreases, add by degrees, in small quantities, more 

 h"me and more sand, taking care to make up no more than 

 \\\\\ be immediately used. The quicker the lime the 

 better, wiiich, if good, will make the wash hot; and if 

 it be required to make this wash particularly hard and du- 

 rable, the same will be efteiSled by making use of boiling 

 \vat€r instead ot cold, taking care to make it in such 

 quantities that it can be laid hot on the boards. 



Mr. Coke has, at Holkham, a brick manufadory, 

 which ranks very high among the tirst in the kingdom ; 

 bricks in all sorts of forms are made, so that in raising 

 an edifice, there is never a necessity for breaking a whole 

 brick to have a smaller of a very imperfect shape, which 

 takes time, and creates waste ; cornice, round column, 

 corner, arch brie ks, Sfc, are made in great perfcvSlion.
