The Tragical Kitchen Gardiner, 



every one of thofe weeks dung be car- 

 ried to the melonry, and there laid down 

 feparatcly, and about a load of cole-afhes^ 

 or tanner's bark by it, then let all the 

 ingredients be caft together into one 

 heap, and well mix'd in the cafting. 

 The fea-coal afhcs or tanner's bark be- 

 ing mix d amongfl: it, is in order to make 

 the bed retain its heat the longer 5 tho' 

 fome lay it in layers as the bed is made 

 up, then let the whole fweat together 

 for two or three days, whilft the fury 

 of it be a little abated, and the heat be 

 brought to be a little more regular ; 

 when the two or three days are expired, 

 make the dung fo caft up into a long 

 fquare bed, of the dimenfions before di- 

 reded, treading it pretty well, but not 

 too hard 5 and when that is done, and 

 you have put in a layer of old rotten 

 dung of the laft year's making, in order 

 to keep the too violent heat of the bed 

 down 5 put on your raifing- frame, as 'tis 

 ufually call'd, and the next day put oq 

 the earth, being mix'd and kept as be- 

 fore dirededj and if the weather is ve- 

 ry cold, or you don't find the heat rife 

 in your bed in good order, wrap it round 

 warm with two or three bundles of 

 F wheat
