V. Dung. — The quality of dung is here at- 

 tended to with greater precifion than in moil; 

 other Diftridts. 



" Town-muck" flands firfl. Norwich affords 

 a fupply to the country round it ; while Yar- 

 mouth produces, for its neighbourhood, a 

 muck of a lingular quality. 



Yarmouth is in a manner furrounded by 

 marlhes and thefea; ftraw, of courfe, becomes 

 there a dear article. This, and the vicinity of 

 the fea-fhore, has eftablifhed a practice, which 

 I believe has been in ufe time immemorial, of 

 littering ftables with fea-fand inftead of flraw^ 

 As the bed becomes foiled or wet, freih fand is 

 fcattered on, until the whole is in a degree fatu- 

 rated with dung and urine: the ftall is then 

 cleared and a frefh bed of fand laid in. By thij 

 means muck of a quality Angularly excellerrt 

 is produced : it is fetched by the farmers of the 

 Fleg Hundreds to a very great diftance. 



The " m.uck" of the " par-yard" too, is 

 efteemed of various qualities. — That of the fta- 

 ble, made from horfes fed on hay and corn, h 

 reckoned the bcfl : that hom fatting cattle th'e 

 next ; while that of lean cattle, and of cows in- 

 particular, is confidered as of a very inferior 



qualit/j
