Under this view of the case, we hope it may not be deemed impertinent to recommend a trial of this lime, even in districts where lime is plentiful and cheap, and which hath been upon proof hitherto satisfactory; and should it unexpectedly fail upon arable land, we still beg it may be admitted to a trial on grassing land. For the purpose of bleaching it hath been carted to Bilton-cum-Harrogate, and used with satisfaction, and frequently 9 or 10 miles towards Ripley, to places distant from the Nidd lime-kilns only 3 or 3.5 miles. To say any thing of this lime for the purpose of building we are completely unable; for whenever it became a topic of conversation, its excellence as a manure alone may be named as one reason, and that of having at Knaresbro' kilns, a kind as well adapted for building as any lime probably can be, and at a rate as reasonable as circumstances will admit of, may be offered as another reason. Having ascertained that two tons of this lime stone will make one chaldron of lime, weighing 1 ton 7 cwt. 2qrs. we give below a statement of what it will cost at different points on the line, recommending at the same time on all occasions the lime-stone to meet the coal. Pounds _s._ _d._ Cost of the 0 2 6 stone at Pateley-bridge, 2 tons 10 miles 0 1 8 Rail-dues, at 1d. per ton per mile 10 do. 0 1 8 Waggon-dues, do. 7.5 bushels of 0 4 4.5 coals, at 7d. per bushel Breaking stone 0 1 0 and burning At Killinghall 0 11 2.5 Toll-bar the chaldron of lime is 5 miles 0 1 8 additional tonnage on stone 0 12 10.5 5 miles 0 0 7.5 decrease of tonnage on coal At the Bond-End 0 12 3 Knaresbro' the lime per chal. 6 miles 0 2 0 additional tonnage on stone 0 14 3 6 miles 0 0 9 decrease of Tonnage on coal 0 13 6 By the above statement it appears the Greenhow-hill lime can be burnt at Ribston, for 13s. 6d. per chaldron, a circumstance not unlikely to make it in great demand, whenever its properties are known for agricultural purposes.
