to the farm, according to the statement of Mr. Philbrook, who 



has managed the farm, ninety-eight cords of good barn yard 



manure, and one hundred and eleven bushels of wood ashes 



from a lime kiln. The products of the farm the last season were 



15 tons of English Hay, 



20 tons of Meadow Hay, 



2 acres of onions produced 150 barrells of ist quality, besides a 



large quantity of a poor quality, 



4 acres of potatoes yielded 600 bushels of very nice quality. 



I acre and 30 rods of carrots yielded 700 bushels. 



I acre of ruta baga yielded 275 bushels. 



200 bushels flat turnips were grown among the onions where 



they were badly eaten by the cut worm and maggot. 220,000 



pickle cucumbers, a quantity of beets, squashes and 25 barrels of 



apples were also grown upon the farm. 



The result of the second year of the experiment began last

By this statement it will be seen that the effect upon the

 on one half acre of land produces 18 lbs. of hay; and of 1200 lbs. 

 of Brighton Abattoir fertilizer on one half acre of land is 1278 

 lbs. of hay; and of four cords of barn yard manure on one half 

 acre is 1448 lbs of hay. 



The object of the committee in applying these quantities of 

 fertilizers the first year was in the first place to manure one half 

 acre with a good liberal dressing of barnyard manure, and 

 the other two lots with the same value in money of commercial
