from Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Dung
(1.) Used as manure (Luke 13:8); collected outside the city
walls (Neh. 2:13). Of sacrifices, burned outside the camp (Ex.
29:14; Lev. 4:11; 8:17; Num. 19:5). To be "cast out as dung," a
figurative expression (1 Kings 14:10; 2 Kings 9:37; Jer. 8:2;
Ps. 18:42), meaning to be rejected as unprofitable.

  (2.) Used as fuel, a substitute for firewood, which was with
difficulty procured in Syria, Arabia, and Egypt (Ezek. 4:12-15),
where cows' and camels' dung is used to the present day for this
purpose.

from Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

DUNG. Manure. Sometimes it is real estate, and at other times personal 
property. When collected in a heap, it is personal estate; when spread out
on the land, it becomes incorporated in it, and it is then real estate. Vide 
Manure.
