After this is done, allow it to set per-fectly before covering with earth. As the foregoing method interfereswith flowers and grasses up to the line of wall, here is another method(see fig. 346). After the wall has been built and cemented on the outside (Rosendalecement is good enough), excavate the earth on the outside to line of foot-ings, fill with firm earth to top of footings, and grade the excavation to aproper descent to carry the water to sewer
