together in a heap, and when commencing to 

 heat, be worked over with a fork, and the 

 long and short manure evenly mixed. In this 

 State the ground is generally low, and to re- 

 tain the heat of the manure for a long time, 

 it is best to put the manure on top of the 

 ground — that is, make a bank two feet longer 

 and two feet wider than the frame. Keep the 

 edges straight and the corners firm; when 

 thrown up about eighteen inches trample the 

 manure down to six or eight inches, then put 

 another layer of eighteen inches and trample 

 down again; place thereon the frame and sash 

 and fill in six inches of good earth. After 

 about five days stir the ground to kill the 

 weeds which may have come up, then sow 



the seeds. In lower Louisiana the ground is 

 too wet to dig out eighteen inches deep, throw 

 in the manure and trample down as recom- 

 mended in the North; by a few hard rains, 

 such as we frequently have in winter, the 

 manure would become so soaked beneath the 

 ground that the heat would be gone. Another 

 advantage when the frame is put above the 

 ground, is that it will go down with the 

 manure gradually, and there remains always 

 the same space between the glass and the 

 ground. If the ground is dug out and the 

 manure put into the frame, the ground will 

 smk so low after a short time that the sun 

 will have little effect upon it, and plants will 

 become spindly.
