Then take five parts of sand and one 

 part of cement, and mix them well while 

 dry. When well mixed, add enough water 

 to make the cement as thin as molasses in 

 July. Pour this mixture into the frames 

 until it comes to the top of the stones. 

 Then put in another layer of stones and 

 more of the mixture, and continue in this 

 way until you build the wall to the de- 

 sired height. 



The chief point to be remembered in 

 building this kind of wall is to be sure 

 to make tbe cement thin enough to run 

 down between all the stones. It needs 

 two men to do it well — one man to keep 

 stirring the mixture while the other dips 

 it into the frames. 



In twenty-four hours, in warm weather, 

 the wall will be hardened enough so that 

 the frames may be taken down, with 

 care. It will take a week or more for 

 the wall to dry out thoroughly, and then 

 you will have the same thing as a solid 

 stone from one end to the other, which 

 will stand anything from a tornado to an 

 earthquake. 



The CO!- "f the cement here is $2.75 

 per ban- ' ,' 400 pounds. For a wall 

 six inches thick it costs for the cement 

 about what it would for the lumber to 

 double board a wall. Two men can put 

 up the frames and build from forty to 

 fifty feet of wall three feet high in a 

 day, if the stones and sand are handy. 

 The wall can be improved in beauty by 

 plastering it over with cement after 

 taking down the frames, if desired. 



The people about here are making 

 walls of this kind for their houses and 

 bams, as they are substantial, cheap 

 and easily built. Anyone with a little 

 common sense can build them. Use the 

 best cement. E. G. Hunt, Je.

 loss of their son, Henry G. Hess, who 

 died of diphtheria March 1, at the age 

 of 15 years. It is reported, also, that

 girl are seriously ill.
