*' T^HE foil of this field is of fuch a nature as to require a greater 

 ■^ quantity of feed than many others. I fliall doubtlefs be 

 thought to have increafed it greatly, in having enlarged that quan- 

 tity to 639 pounds : and yet this year's experiment makes me judge, 

 that it will be ftill neceffary to fow more another time. 



" I fowcd this field on the 9th, loth, and 26th of Auguft, and 

 reaped it on the i6th and 17th of July. It yielded 4290 pounds of 

 grain. 



Year 1756. 



** T Have a meadow adjoining to this field. I plowed up part of 

 ■*■ it, which had produced but very little grafs for a long time, 

 and turned it into arable land. This addition ferved to replace 

 another part of the field, which I fowed with lucerne. This laft 

 part being lefs than that which was added from the meadow, the 

 field may have been enlarged about two acres, and the foil is much 

 the better for it. 



" This field was fowed with 1010 pounds of wheat, on the loth, 

 13th, and 15th of September, and was reaped the 23d and 24th of 

 July, when it produced 6760 pound weight of corn.
