On the rail foundation, lay around the center in the form of an ellipse,
with the heads lapping well across the center rail; lap half and
continue to lay towards the outside until foundation is covered. Now
commence at the outside and lay a course around, neither laying out or
drawing in, except to correct any little error that may occur in the
elliptical form of the stack; complete the courses to the center, but
don't fill the middle too full; if the outside is lower than the middle,
lay a double course around outside; keep your stack _flat_--full as high
at outside as center; build the first load straight up, neither laying
out or drawing in, if the stack is to contain ten or twelve loads; if
eight or nine, lay the last course out a little.
