THE FARMER'S MONTHLY VISITOR. 



In 1837, I coaled 1201 bushels, which I sold in 

 market for $166,40. Expense of coaling and 

 marketing *40. In 1838, I coaled 4200 bushels, 

 which sold on the liearth for $a33,33 ; but I af- 

 terwards ascertained from the purchaser, that it 

 sold in Boston market for $630. The expense of 

 coaling this lot, I estimate at $100. I sold wood 

 to the amount of $50. I estimate the fuel that I 

 used on my own fire to have been worth $50 

 more. I have on hand 100 cart loads of the bot- 

 tom of the coal pits, which I value at $75 ,having 

 some knowledge of its virtue as a manure. 



The result may be stated as follows, viz. : — 

 Proceeds of coal in 1837, $166,40

Value of crop of potatoes, 927 bushels 463,50

 Estimated balance in my favor, as the 



result of the experiment, $894,23 



My potatoes grew finely, and it was obsei-ved 

 by many, that they never saw a handsomer field. 

 This crop being cut off in most other places, in 

 this vicinity, induces me to value them at 50 cents 

 a bushel — wliich I know to be above the usual 

 price in common seasons. 



I have about two acres more of similar land, 

 which I intend to manage in the same way. It 

 requires much liard labor, but it pays well. 

 Respectfully yours,
