DUNG MEERS; in husbandry, places where foals and dungs are mixed and digested together. For this purpose it is usual to dig a pit sufficient to hold the stock of foal the husbandman is capable of making; and to prepare it at the bottom with stone and clay, that it may hold water, or the moisture of the dung; and besides, it should be so situated that the sinks and drips of the houses and barns may run into it. Into this pit they cast refuse fodder, litter, dung, weeds, &c. where they lie and rot together, till the farmer have occasion for it.
