above defcribed, and when thefe are well incorpo- 

 rated, to open the heaps and bury in each as much 

 good farm-yard dung as it will cover. 



The dung being thus covered up will foon fer- 

 ment and diflblve; and after laying a proper time, 

 the mafs being chopped together with the ifpade, 

 forms a foapy mucilaginous manure of the moll 

 fertilizing nature. Ufed in this manner, lime will 

 always be exceedingly profitable. But the reafon 

 of its being reprobated in fome other counties is, 

 that they know not how to (or will not) apply it 

 properly. Their method is to fpread it on the 

 land as they do chalk, and let it lie there till rain 

 or the moifture of the air flakes, and occafions it 

 to fall in pieces. But by being thus expofed to 

 the air, its virtue, which (hould promote vegeta- 

 tion, is all evaporated, and of courfe its ufe as a 

 fertilizing manure is totally loft.
