The fire in the upper ovens, when the eggs are placed in 
‘the lower, is thus proportioned : the firft day there is the 
greateit fire, the fecond lefs than the firft ; the fourth more 
than the third, the fifth lefs ; the fixth more than the fifth, 
i Se lef’ : the eighth more, ee ninth without fire; 
of aman, whe 
laid upon it, can well endure. When the chickens: are 
~ hatched, they put them into the lower ovens. 
The number of thefe ovens in different parts of the coun- 
try, which are attended by the inhabitants of a eee called 
_ Berme, is about 386, and they oh ee ee m at wor! 
for fix months; as, therefore, each br “wai
