Barre, Nov. 27, 1852. 



John W. Brii^hamh Statement. 



I spread four loads of compost manure, then ploughed deep, 

 let the earth He a few days, then run a cultivator over it to 

 break the lumps, ploughed again with a horse-plough ; then 

 bushed it down smooth, sowed with a seed-sower, leaving the 

 rows about 18 inches apart, weeded them three times, thinning 

 them the two first times. Calculated to have them about two 

 inches apart. Sowed the last of May ; gathered the crop the 

 last of October ; used a plough in digging them ; run the 

 plough so as to crowd them out a little, turning the furrow 

 from them.
