 of the houfe, and all other wafhings, may 

 gently ooze into the refervoir or common re- 

 ceptacle. If the fold-yard is paved, one inch drip 

 in twelve feet will be found to be fufficient. 



The refervoir mud be made fufficiently ca- 

 pacious and deep enough to receive a quantity 

 of roots, corn-ftubble, earth from different 

 foils, &c. which will imbibe the juices as 

 they gradually ooze in, and form a matter that, 

 when taken out, will ferment ftrongly, and in 

 this manner be worked into a good compoft 

 very little inferior to the fold-manure. By 

 ufing this compofl (as prefcribed in the Me- 

 thod of making Fallows) at the latter end of 

 the year, or fo foon as harveft is over, the 

 farmer will reap more benefit than at firft he 

 will think poffible. He will raife a dunghill 

 from the greater!: nuifances ; for what can be 

 more injurious to land than the roots of {kib- 

 ble, which, like wood, rob the foil of nourifh- 

 ment, and keep the parts from adhering fuffi- 

 ciently clofe to affid vegetation in the enfuing 

 crop. 



It is not enough to make the refervoir 

 fufficiently large: the bottom of it muft be 



well
