CALCAREOUS MANURES— APPENDIX. 



Addendum, 1842. 



The following table of cropS; with the annexed remarks and notes, will 

 perhaps be more satisfactory than the preceding statements of general 

 results, besides serving to bring the report down to the present time. 



It is proper to premise, that after 1827 I ceased to keep a regular farm 

 journal, and neglected even to preserve accounts of the amount of crops. Ill 

 health and other circumstances had caused me several years before that time 

 to withdraw much of my personal attention from my farming. In 1830, my 

 residence was permanently removed from the farm, and thereafter my 

 superintendence was more and more withdrawn, until it ceased entirely 

 at the end of 1838. Hence the blanks which will be seen in this part of 

 the table. At the close of 1838, my eldest son became the part owner and 

 occupant, and since has been sole director of the farm. Though it was 

 then placed in charge of a new beginner, who had every thing to learn of 

 farming, the management has since been much improved, and consequently 

 also the condition and production of the farm, as shown by the table. 



The quantities and other facts, stated below, are taken from careful 

 memoranda noted at the times of the occurrences, and are precise wherever 

 presented as such, according to the best lights possessed by the cultivator. 

 But the volume of my former journal, which embraced the transactions of 

 1824 to 1827 inclusive, has been lost; and for want of recent reference to 

 it, there may be some inaccuracy in the dates only of operations within that 

 time, as well as in the next few succeeding years.
