 manure will be thoroughly reduced to little 

 pieces, and perfectly mixed together : If 

 the work is well done, the compoft will do 

 without further mixing ; though, as the 

 expence of a fecond turning would be a 

 trifle after it is fo well reduced, and every 

 turning would raife a frefh fermentation, a 

 fecond might be advifable : The farmer 

 would be furprifed at the vaft benefit his 

 crops would receive from a manuring of 

 this compoft after the draining ; before that 

 work is done it would be idle to do this or 

 any other.

 objects of virtuous emulation in view, and 

 expend their money, and give their atten- 

 tion to a plan, which can fcarcely fail 

 of being greatly advantageous to them : 

 They are happy in an excellent landlord, 

 who will never reluctantly give, either his 

 protection or encouragement.
