On the 19th of September I sowed my wheat, which was all well 

 brined and limed, and all harrowed the day it was sowed ; and on the 

 seventh day of July last, I commenced harvesting the above, (which 

 was fully ripe for the sickle,) and in harvesting, putting in the barn, 

 threshing, measuring and weighing, the several parcels were kept sepa- 

 rate — and the product of each piece is set in its proper place in the 

 above diagram. 



The whole expense of salt, ashes, and horn shavings, was eight dol- 

 lars and forty-five cents, on the ground ; two days' work with a team, 

 in spreading the ashes, three dollars — which was done with a shovel, 

 and out of the cart ; one day sowing the salt and horn shavings, seventy- 

 five cents. The whole amount of extra expense (from the usual course 

 of fallowing without manure,) does not exceed twelve dollars and 

 twenty-five cents. 



The two varieties of wheat, the flint and bearded Tuscany, as marked 

 in the diagram, weighed as follows : Flint 64 pounds to the bushel, and 

 Tuscany 66 pounds. 



As much has been said in the agricultural journals about guano, and 

 its fertilizing properties, ascertained from analysis, I have come to the 

 conclusion that every farmer may make some tons a year of an equal 

 fertilizer, and at a trifling expense per ton, compared to guano.
