<DIV>Many years ago... in Mother Earth News, I think, there was a description of
a "methane cooker"-- sort of an enclosed compost heap, but instead of getting
mulch from it, you got methane gas which could be used as fuel to run

sure "cow pies" could be used as raw material instead of the porcine
equivalent....
