Con Dun% y being thoroughly rotten, Is the heft, be- 
caufe the fatteft of all others, 'and fo corrects the moft 
ordinary Fault of Grounds, which is, that they are 
too dry and hungry. It preferves it felf a great while 
in the Earth, and having not too much heat, it mufc 
be carry’d and bury’d before Winter, that being the 
beft Seafon for dunging, becaufe the Dung doth up- 
hold the Soil, makes it more moveable and light, and 
caufes the Rain and Snow that falls in the Winter, 
to fink the deeper into it, and by their nioifture to 
make it more fruitful. 
Sheep's Dung is very fat, and hotter than Core Dungy 
therefore more proper for Ground that is cold ; this 
ought to be laicf and buried in November , before the 
depth of Winter. 
Horfe Dung is lea ft fat of them all, fo not very pro- 
per for Trees, which want more fat and nourishment 
than heat ; for this caule it is us’d fer Kitchin-Gar- 
dens, to heat the Ground, and to bring up Herbs 
quickly; it isalfo exceeding good in fuch Grounds 
asaremoift, to dry them, and fo make them mors 
light and fhort. It may alfo be employ’d for all 
Ufes, when it is thoroughly rotten, or when tnixe 
with other forts of Dung, I mean, whAi it hath left 
all its heat. This muft be fpread timely, and bury’d 
in the beginning of Winter, that all its heat may be 
diftipated before the Spring; for fhould you ftay till 
Winter is' paft before you ufe it, it might too much 
hear, and even burn the Root of your Trees. 
Hog's Dung is the coldeft of all, therefore for hot- 
teft Soil the beft ; for feeing that Trees do ordinarily 
turn yellow, by reafon of too much drought, it is very 
proper to make them flourifh again ; it muft be bu- 
ried as foon as ever it is fpread on the Ground. 
Pigeon's Dung when it is frefli is too hot to ufe, but 
when its heat is gone, it wonderfully re-enlivens and 
invfgorates Plants; it lofes its Vertue in the Earth 
* n two Years. It muft be fpread in the beginning of 
Winter, and not buried till the Spring, by reafon of
