 bottom, and extend the dung to the width of 

 two feet, and three parts as high as the bed ; 

 drawing it in to about eighteen inches at the 

 top. Cover the lining with the litter four inches 

 wide from the bottom, and three parts as high as 

 the box, being particularly careful in stopping 

 up the inside, by pressing the tan close to the 

 box, about three inches above the bottom. As 

 the lining sinks, add a little wrapping to the top, 

 formed of hay, or old litter that is quite sweet.
