 the dunghill could properly ferment, the ma-

 when it was firft turned over. The heat of a hay- 

 ftack will caufe the watery particles to evapo- 

 rate perceptibly : and, by turning the manure

 fiderably worfe for the expence bellowed.

 management. Thefe are ajl proper lands ^o 

 be pared and burned.
