The frames were uncovered about 9 o'clock in the 

 morning, and covered up in the evening with about 

 five inches thick of hay and mats. To-day I had a 

 frefh lining put to the fouth fide of the bed, in doing 

 which, I had the frefh dung that was on the top o£ 

 the old lining laid afide, and all the exbaufled dung 

 taken away ; and the dung that had been on the top 

 of the lining, and was not exhaufled, that I had 

 worked into the foundation of the new lining, and 

 then had frefh dung laid above it. The lining was 

 made about three feet wide at the foundation, and 

 r^pered up to about twenty-eight inches at the top^
