the fresh horse manure from the stable, and lay it in a 
heap to ferment; turn and mix it well once a week, and 
when Avell and equally fermented, which will be in about 
three weeks, it will then be ready for the beds. The beds 
should be about four feet wide, and any length required for 
a supply. Place the prepared dung two feet deep on the 
beds, mix thoroughly with the earth, and beat or press it 
firmly down with the back of the spade; in this state it 
should remain until the temperature has become sufficiently 
mild, which may be ascertained by thrusting a stick into 
the different portions of the bed. Pieces of the spawn of 
the size of a walnut should then be inserted about two 
inches deep, and six inches apart; cover with loamy soil two 
inches deep, and press down evenly and firmly.
