ON FARMS. 35 



long continued sea breezes to which we are exposed, 

 cold nights and dry days in the latter season, proved 

 unfavorable. My crop of onions suffered much from 

 the same causes. The wheat and barley crops are 

 much lessened by charlick, which abounds in our 

 land, and requires a longer time for its eradication 

 than I have yet bestowed upon it. 



The Produce of my Farm by estimation, ivas as follows : 



1 Acre of Wheat produced only - - 14 1-2 bushels. 



1 1-2 Acres of Barley, - - - • - 20 " 



2 1-2 " " Oats, partly threshed without unbind- ~ 



ing the bundles, . . _ 



2 1-2 Acres Indian Corn, 100 bushels of ears, Avith 



an unusual proportion of soft unripe corn, 



White Beans among corn and squashes, - 16 1-2 " 



Red Top and Herd's Grass, seed in chaff, - - 7 " 



Carrots, . . . - - 85 " 



Mangel Wurtzcl, - - - - 200 " 



RutaBaga, .... - 74 " 



French Turnip, - - - - - 60 " 



Flat Turnip, 90 " 



Onions, - - - - - - 40 " 



Blood Beets, 25" 



Parsnips, - - - - - -6" 



English Hay, estimating 500 square feet of settled Hay ? ^ ^ Tons 



to I ton, . _ - - ^ 



Oats mowed for fodder, - - - - 5 " 



Second crop, ----- 2^ " 



Marrow Squash, - - - - - 4 "

Set about 3000 cabbages, which produced but a 

 small crop. Had about two acres of Summer vege- 

 tables, such as peas, beans, cucumbers, melons, to- 

 matoes, &c., including half an acre of asparagus, 

 mostly set the year before, and part the present year, 

 of roots two years old. The produce of the last 

 mentioned two acres was disposed of in so promis- 

 cuous a way, that I cannot give a very correct ac- 

 count, but should judge it might amount to ^150. 

 As the manuring, planting, and culture, were nothing 

 peculiar, the particulars I shall omit to mention.
