78 ON FARMS. 



ceived, was pretty full of stumps, which gives you an idea of its for- 

 mer state. The wood which I have taken from it, has paid me about 

 $1000 above all expenses. My 3 acres of potatoes gave me an aver- 

 age yield of about 75 bushels per acre. 



There were about 300 old apple trees upon the farm, all of which 

 have been grafted anew. In addition, I have had put down within 

 the last and the previous year, 1000 apple trees and about 300 peach 

 trees. The produce of my old trees was about 15 barrels, this year. 



Formerly, I have kept some 20 cows, and sold the milk, a market 

 for which is furnished by the new town of Lawrence. This year, I 

 have no dairy, except for private use — my stock consisting of 8 oxen, 

 4 horses, and a few small cattle. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



LEVERETT BRADLEY.
