3Iixed Husbandry — Seventy Acres Under Cultivation — Thorough 

 Plowing — Rotation of Crops — Crross Receipts $2,-132 82. 



My farm is situated in Washington County. It contains 

 one hundred and twenty acres of land. Ninety acres are 

 cleared. Seventy acres under cultivation. Twenty acres in 

 meadow, which have been used for pasture for thirty years. 

 The land was originally heavily timbered with maple, elm, burr- 

 oak and basswood. Mostly level, a part of it gently rolling, 

 but all with a natural drainage, with the exception of one ten- 

 acre lot, which is drained by an open ditch. The tillable 

 land is divided into seven ten-acre lots, which have been under 

 cultivation from twenty-eight to thirty-four years. The subsoil 

 on the level is hard pan, on the rolling mild clay. Great atten- 

 tion has always been paid to 



GOOD PLOWING. 



I plow eight inches deep, except for corn. My corn land 

 is manured and plowed only five inches deep. This is done 

 to keep the manure nearer the surface, and to give the young 

 plants all the benefit of the manure for a quick start. I have 

 adopted the following 



ROTATION OF CROPS, 



and have strictly adhered to it for the last eighteen years, as
