It will be seen in the above case that nothing has been charged 

 for manure excepting ashes and plaister. The corn was raised 

 after a stubble clover-crop ploughed in, or a green-sward in- 

 verted. I shall give hereafter the rotation of crops practised 

 by this excellent farmer. His corn usually averages seventy 

 bushels per acre. 



The estimate of the expense of a corn crop in Deerfield, is 

 thus given by a very careful and successful cultivator.
