Thus the necessary quantities of materials are:—

57½ barrels of Portland cement.

16½ cubic yards of sand.

31 cubic yards of stone or gravel.

dealer is at considerable distance, as this avoids any possible trouble

that a shortage might cause. Besides, any cement left over always comes

in handy for repair work around the house or barn.
