of grass; the trees as apparently improved as the grass; 
the clover more benefited than the timothy; no percep- 
tible difference of improvement in the different soils.

Process. April Tth. Rainy evening, wind at east, 
moon’s age one day ; sowed a half peck of plaister up- 
on five perches in the high field; every observation 
applicable to April 3d, except the soil being a stiffloam, 
and situation rather level, although high. ; 
Result. 1789. Spring; as yet no perceptible odds. 
Fall; a very perceptible difference; but the observa- 
tions of the above may justly be applied to this. As I 
perceived no difference in the age of the moon when I 
sowed plaister, I of course discontinued minuting it as 
a chimera unworthy of notice. 
Process. April 8th. Sowed the peach lot with plaister, 
about four bushels per acre; in cultivation not less than 
ninety years; the soil a stiff loam, under stratum a re. 
tentive clay, sward red and white clover, and green grass i 
fertility of the soil very good; peach trees just begin. , “7g 
ning to bear.
