expect to sit still, and that manna will
drop into his mouth. His faculties
and reason were given him for exer- j

his reach, to enable him by their exer

first place, then, let every farmer marl;
out a small spot, from twenty to "forty
feet square, according to the size of his
farm ; this spot should bc dug down
from two to four feet deep, and the
earth should form a bank round it ; a
few stout oak posts with crotches should
bc planted in a line along the middle of
this pit, and shorter ones should be
placed at the sides, toN receive strong
poles, on which to erect a shed of
common clap-boards. HaTing thus

sun, from rain, and from water running
into it, while by removing a few of the
boards, you can admit them when ne

a quantity of top earth or sods, and if
vur soil be stilf, a quantity of sand.
These substances should be mixed,
and a laver of one foot in thickness
should be spread over the bottom of
the pit ; then cut down and collect all
the weeds (before thev seed) about
your fence and farm, and spread ano
ther layer of them, of the same thick
ness, over the former one ; then col
