At Dogue Run, listing the ground intended for Siberian 

 wheat, barley, &c., a second time. 



At Muddy Hole sowed with the drill plough two rows of 

 the Albany pease between the corn rows, to see whether they 

 would come to any thing for want of the support which 

 they give one another when sown broad-cast. The same man 

 agement given the ground as for oats and barley at this 

 place. 



13th. Sowed oats in drills ten feet apart, between corn 

 rows in the Neck, twenty-four rows, in the following manner. 

 1. A single furrow; 2. another and deep furrow in this; 3. 

 four bouts to these ; 4. ploughed again in the same manner ; 5. 

 a single furrow in the middle of these; 6. manure sprinkled 

 in this furrow; 7. the great harrow over all these; and, 8. 

 the seed sowed after the harrow with the drill or barrel 

 plough, and harrowed in with the harrow at the tail of it. 

 Note. It should have been observed, that the field intended 

 for experiments at this plantation is divided into three 

 parts, by bouting rows running crosswise ; and that manure, 

 and the last single furrow, are (at least for the present) be 

 stowed on the most westerly of those nearest the Barn. 



14th. Harrowed the ground at Muddy Hole, which had 

 been twice ploughed, for Albany pease in broad-cast. At 

 Dogue Run began to sow the remainder of the Siberian 

 wheat, about fourteen quarts, which had been left at the 

 Ferry ; run deep furrows in the middle, and made five-feet 

 ridges. Did the same for carrots in the same field on the 

 west side next the meadow. Ordered a piece of ground, two 

 acres, to be ploughed at the Ferry around the old corn- 

 house, to be drilled with corn and potatoes between, each 

 ten feet apart, row from row of the same kind. Sowed in 

 the Neck, or rather planted, next to the eleven rows of 

 millet, thirty-five rows of rib-grass seeds, three feet apart,
