was in carrots last year by E. Perry, Esq. I spread two and 

 one-half cords of manure, and ploughed the ground twice, and 

 harrowed it once in the spring. About the middle of INIay, I 

 sowed it in ridges about twenty-eight inches apart, and sowed 

 it by hand, one row to the ridge ; this work was done by one 

 man and boy in one day. The first weeding was done as soon 

 as the carrots were up, by a boy, in one day and a half ; I then 

 hoed it over with a hoe within an inch of the carrots. This 

 was done by a man in one day. I then run the cultivator

 boy in about one day. I then thinned the carrots, from four

 run the plough and cultivator through once each, which was 

 done in about two days by one man. I commenced harvest-

 each, and one boy two and a half days ; horse, one and a half 

 day. I had 12,869 lbs.— six tons, 869 lbs.
