This first year I planted two acres of roots, one of oats to 

 cut green, a little corn fodder and half an acre of kitchen 

 garden, and could secure only a scanty amount of manure for 

 them, and harvested five tons of hay, mostly composed of 

 white-weed. This was the yield of the farm in 1869. 



This present year, the same forty-four acres of cultivatable 

 land has yielded as follows : — 



One-fourth acre Ruta Bagas yielded 2 tons, 75 pounds. 



One-fourth acre Mangolds yielded 10 tons, 1581 pounds. 



Three-fourths acre Carrots yielded 9 tons, 1 635 pounds ; es- 

 timated forty per cent, rotten. 



Two acres Winter Rye for fodder, mostly cut green, yielded 

 also 1300 pounds straw, and 8 bushels, 47 ])0unds rye. 



One and one-fourth acres Corn fddder, cut one acre green, 

 and cured 3 tons, 340 pounds (dried.) 



One acre Onions yielded 243 bushels marketable, 18 buishels 

 small; and where onions were killed sowed Ruta Bagas, which 

 yielded 2 tons, 1086 pounds ; estimated that five per cent, 

 onions were rotten and a large per cent, killed by hail and 

 cut-worm. 



Four and one-fourth acres Potatoes yielded 617 bushels ; 

 estimated thirty-three per cent, rotten. 



One-half acre kitchen garden ; a late crop of 1| tons small 

 turnips. 



One-fourth acre, nursery of a variety of young trees im- 

 ported from England. 



Six and one-half acres mossy field, not yet plowed, but to be 

 turned up this Autumn. 



One-fourth acre occupied by stone walls. 



One acre Hungarian grass yielded 3 tons. 



Twenty-five and three-fourths acres grass land yielded 49 

 tons, 1320 pounds, much of which had been scantily manured 

 and seeded with white clover and red-top, intending it for 

 pasture, but all of which had been seeded down by myself. 



There are also a few apple trees in good bearing condition 

 about the buildings, and I have also set out some young trees in 

 the same locality. A number of ornamental trees have also 

 been set out.
