From the acre on which I spread two hundred and ten loads 

 of sand last autumn, and seeded to Timothy and redtop, I this 

 season liad one ton of hay of good quality ; in August last I 

 spread twenty loads of compost, the first manure that has been 

 applied to tlie lot. 



The lot situated east from the barn, which was under-drained 

 in 1859, has been mowed two years, producing three tons to 

 the acre ; 1 have this autumn dressed it with twenty loads of 

 compost. 



From nine acres mowed the present season, I liad twenty tons
