&f God ; but if you may, without eminent danger, 

 leave your wo :ks. open, that is moil certain of all: . 



Of her and fecond remedies lor all cold Land, arc 

 ligeonsDung, Dung of Poultry, whkh abound in 

 heat and volatile falc ; thefe are onely (owed by the 

 band, for fear of burning the .Ca.n in the chitting of 

 the Grain: I rnve obierved, where thefe Dungs 

 have been over plentifully laid, that the place bare 

 no Corn at all, when as in other places., where it was* 

 moderately (trawed, the Crop wis exceeding great. 

 1 he fame effect there is in urine and Soot, from the 

 fame principles, (viz,.) muche.fger fpirit and vola- 

 tile fait, and therefore the fame caution is to be had 

 in their ufe .-I have feen half the Trees in a Codling- 

 hedge killed > by watering them over-much with 

 Chamber-lye. Horfe-dung , -if not rotten, lying 

 thick, will doe the f i me, but rather by an :Stm\ heat 

 which it creates by its fermentation, than by the 

 pow 7 er of fingle principles, as in the former instan- 

 ces, but the excefs of it is, harmful, being laid in 

 fuch quantities as it may heat, and certainly burns 

 theroot of any ordinary Vegetables that grow near 

 it. Sheep-dung, t og-dung likewife, and all Soyl 

 and Litters of Cattle, by reafonof their Dung, U- 

 rine, and heat of their Bodies, lying thereon, have a 

 warmth in them, and are fit for cold Lands on that 

 account ; and by re;fon of their moiflure, for dry 

 Lmds alfo ; for it is to be obferved , that many 

 Grounds are dry and cold too, in all parts of the 

 North and North-weft, as Erglavd lies, and mEng- 

 iz;;d many of our Wood-lands efpecially ; and fo all 

 hot and moift foils are mpft proper for them : Burn- 

 ing and be-king is in mnny places, very fuccefsfully 

 wied to this efte&j The actual fire heating the 



ground.
