very cheap, and have been of late years
introduced into our Western States and
Territories, where they to some extent
replace log cabins The brick has been
brought some what into use at the east
ward, where the material (mixed with lime
to make it bind better) is pressed into
hollow bricks by machinery and dried at
gentle heat. The hollows serve to CON
duct moisture down through the walls to
the ground and thus prevent dampness.

houses are mostly built of adobes, OF. un-
burnt bricks made of mixture of two
thirds fine sand with one third fine earth.
Stiff clay icannot be used, as the SUNS

one man puts the materials in hole and
mixes them thoroughly, with the, aid Of
just water euoughi to form n stiff mud.
Two men carry thismud in a hand barrow
to the monlder, who has double wooden
mould s inches long, 8 inches wide, and
4 inches deep. Into this the, mud from
the barrow is put, the mould being wet
to keep the mud from sticking, BY
handles, at each end, the mould is raised
from the level ground, leaving two masses
ready to dry ia the sun During Spring
and Summer they bake into partial ifdfy-
ness ia two or'three days, and are then
carefully set up 2 on edge to oaexpose. the
