Westminster Farmers’ Club reports.,—Mr. John MeNeil, of the Westmin- 
ster (Vermont) Farmers’ Club, reports that on pine plain land, which had 
been mowed only once, he turned under twenty-one horse loads of mantre 
to the acre, harrowed, and laid out four plots, each over one-thirteenth 
of an acre in area, containing four rows, three and one-half feet apart 
and fourteen rods long, the hills three feet apart in the rows, and 
planted with corn. The first plot received Bradley’s superphosphate, 
at a cost of 98 cents, a tablespoonful being put in each hill, and thoroughly 
incorporated with the soil before planting. The second plot received 
Bowers’s complete manure, at a cost of 98 cents; the third plot, ashes, 
at a cost of 40 cents. The fourth plot received no other fertilizer than 
the stable manure. Putting the average price of corn for the region and 
year at $1 40 per bushel, and rating the corn in ear at 70 pounds to the 
bushel, the following is a summary of the results on the immediate 
crop:
