REMEMBER THIs.-Unermented vegeta
, BILE and animal matters, including green

t The gaseous matters which dung gives of
q while undergoing fermentation, always rise
because they are lighter than atmosphere
air. They enrich the SOIL and afford ioot
to plants, because they have already formed
necessary part OF plants. Hence, if fer

: GASEOUS matters are scattered and lost; if il
b the soil, the ear,hs and moisture retain then
