carry it to the mixing hole of the "mud
mill." Ileie it ia thoroughly soaked
with water and all lumps softened; it is
then ground through the "mud mill" 1 y
horse power, and the moulder receives it
and fills in into moulds, at the rate of
seven thousand a day. A man receive
the mould full of brick and dumps
jthera on a smooth board which is placed
n the drying rack by a third party when
they remain from three to ten days (ac
cording to the weather) till thoroughly
dried. They are then taken to the
.oven for baking or burning. Th9 oyen
eoutains eleven appartments, each of a
capacity of 10,000 brick. The burning
is so conducted that one appartment i?
filled with fresh and one emptied of
burnt bricks each day, making the capac
ity 10,000 brick per day. The brick
Ha4 at these works is of excellent quali
