ON FARMS. 



The Committee on Farms, Report : 



That the only farm offered for a premium for the management of 

 farms, was that of IMr. Daniel Pilsbury, of West Newbur}' . At the 

 invitation of Mr. Pilsbury, your committee visited his farm in July 

 last, and had the satisfaction of learning from him his mode of culti- 

 vation, and of witnessing some improvements he had made. The 

 farm consists of a hundred and fifteen acres, and for a particular 

 account of the farm its different divisions, soils, cultivation, products 

 and improvements, the committee would refer to the account which 

 follows, given by Mr. Pilsbury to the committee. Mr. Pilsbury has 

 been on the farm nine years, and the committee think he is entitled 

 to considerable commendation for what he has done and for the im- 

 provement made on his farm. More especially when it is considered 

 that it is chiefly the work of his o^Yn hands, and that all the labor hir- 

 ed on his farm was but from sixty to one hundred dollars annually.
