so as to prevent the escape of fluid from the dung into the
adjoining part of the yard, neighbouring premises, or public

That the grain bins and receptacles for wash be kept in
repair, clean, and well covered.
That the sheds be thoroughly cleansed twice a day, and
the yards once a day.
That all solid manure be carefully swept up twice a day,
placed under cover, and removed from the premises every
morning before eight o'clock. (In the winter months,
where fewer than five cows are kept, the manure may be
kept till the second day.)
That every cow-house be lime-whited at least twice a
year.
Inhabited rooms over cow-sheds are strongly objected
to.
It is considered that each cow require?, in order to supply
it with sufficient air for its health, a cubic space of not
less than 1000 feet.
The use of deodorising materials is much recommended
as subsidiary to other means of preventing nuisance.
If within a month from the receipt of this letter your
premises are not in a satisfactory state, it is the intention of
the Vestry to take legal proceedings against you.
