the same fertilizer in drill. I have charged my labor at a 

 dollar and a half per day of ten hours, and each horse at

 cord spread on the field. The manure was harrowed in by 

 a Randall wheel-harrow. The time is given below in hours

One acre and 5,867 feet of Indian corn were on land which 

 yielded a very light crop of Hungarian grass in 1877, with- 

 out any manure or fertilizer. In 1878 it was manured with 

 seven bags of Stockbridge corn fertilizer, sown broadcast, and 

 harrowed in by a Randall wheel-harrow, and also two bags of 

 same fertilizer in the drill. My charges are the same as I 

 have already stated for the other field.
