P.S. I was obferving a few days fince a field of 

 barley belonging to Mr. Tuttle, of Wareham, 

 that was overflowed by the tide two or three years 

 agoj and nothing has grown upon it fince till the 

 prefcntyear; but there is now a profpedt of the 

 fined crop I ever faw, efpecially on that part of the 

 land which was overflowed. This I confider as a 

 proof that too much fait is very injurious ; and 

 would therefore advife every farmer who makes 

 ufe of it, to adopt the quantity as may be found 

 neceflary according to the quality of the land. 



[On this Gentleman's manure we beg leave to 

 remark, that nothing appears to us againfl: its be- 

 coming generally ufeful but the extra expence that 

 muft attend it, from the great price of oil, and the 

 expence of the carriage of fea-fand and drofs fait, in 

 mod inland fituations. Yet to thofe who live near 

 the coaft, and are willing to ufe oil at its prefcnc 

 price, we have no doubt of its anfwering the pur- 

 pofc 3 perhaps the common fand may be as proper 

 as that from the fea-fhore ; but in this cafe we think 

 more fait will be requifite.]
