The land on which my one fourth acre of carrots grew, this 

 present season, is naturally moist, with a clayey subsoil. 



The condition of the land, in 1849, was good. I spread 

 eight loads of long manure upon the ground in the spring, and 

 ploughed it under, six inches deep, and sowed it with ruta baga 

 turnip. The product was two hundred and forty bushels, fifty 

 pounds to the bushel.
