 countrr we conipOMd of new or freh cUble dung in 

 the following manner. The dung u collected uj 

 hemp, under cprtr if possible, and kept for about 

 week in this situation, when the beat arising from fer- 

 mentation becomes conaklerable. It is then turned 

 over, well mixed, and again formed into a heap, to re- 

 main for five or aix days more, in order that the heat 

 may be equally distributed. It U now transferred to 

 the site of the intended hot-bed. Here it i agsJn very 

 completely intermixed by means of the dung-fork, in

bed U usually five or si* feet in breadth, according to Hot-bed, 

 the sue of the glazed frames, beyond which it ought -^-,~ ' 

 to extend on every side about eight or nine inches ; 

 and it U from four feet to two feet and a half thick 

 or deep, the thickest beds being used in winter, and 

 the thinner in the spring months. The part of the 

 dung which is itiortrtl, or freest from litter, is placed 

 on we top, forming a close covering, through which 

 steam or vapour may not readily pass; sometime* a 

 layer of cow-dung is place.', on the surface, with the 

 same view. After the bed is made up, it i* allowed to ' 

 remain for a few days, during which it sends off a 

 good deal of vapour, and acquires an equal temperature 

 throughout. When the heat declines, it is revived by 

 adding lining* on the outside ; but fvr information re-
