It was remarked by one of the Committee, A^•l^en viewing 

 the cabbage, that if I had planted nearer, I should probably 

 have got a larger crop. My aim is to get the largest return for 

 mv manure and labor, and prepare the land for a hay croj) : 

 and I think Avhen my cro])s are planted a large distance apart 

 and well cultivated, tliat they are not so mucli injured b}' the 

 dry Aveather. If I was nearer tlie cities, where land is more 

 valualjle, it might be an (object to try and get the largest return 

 per acre.

 except the manure, which was half ton of Vassor bone, mixed
