Soapboilers Waste forms an excellent manure for fome 

 foils; it contains, by Mr. Ruckert's Analyfis, 57 per cwt. of 

 mild calx, 11 of magnefia, 6 of argill, and 2 1 of filex. 



Stable Dung. This is ufed either frefh or putrified ; the 

 firft is called long^ the other Jhort dung ; it abounds in animal 

 matter, eafily runs into putrefadion, and when putrified 

 ferves as a leaven to haften the decay of other dead vegetable 

 fubftances ; its fermentation is promoted by frequent agitation 

 and expofure to the air : yet it fhould be covered to prevent 

 water from carrying off mofl of its important ingredients, or 

 at leaft the water that imbibes them fliould not be loft. 



Farm-yard Dung confifts of various vegetables, as flraw, 



weeds, leaves, fern, &c. impregnated with animal matter ; it 



-ferments more flowly than the former ; fhould be piled in heaps, 



and ftirred from time ta time. — Fern putrefies very flowly — 



the water that ifTues from it fhould be preferved. 



Some of thefe manures have been analyzed.
