Farm II. This farm consists of 43 acres in the whole ; of which 

 15 are in wood, 12 in pasture, 1 wet meadow, 3 waste ; 6 in English 

 mowing, and 6 in tillage. The appearance of the crops seemed to 

 me so remarkable, that I agreed with the farmer to have his land sur- 

 veyed, and his crops exactly measured. Here follows his statement: 

 — " I have had my hay land and my tillage also surveyed, as you 

 required. The exact amount produced on certain quantities I will 

 give. On 56 rods of land or a lot 7 rods wide, and 8 rods and 2 

 links long, I cut 1 ton and 1527 lbs. of hay. On 37 rods of land 

 I raised 9^ bushels of rye. On ]6f rods I raised 11^ bushels of 

 barley. On 24 rods of land I raised 52 bushels of potatoes." 



" There is another lot of land adjoining the above, of the same 

 size and equally good, which produced only 1993 lbs. of hay. This 

 shows clearly the effect sea-weed has on hay land, for the one had 

 17 loads put on it, which cost me $2, and the other hadxnone. Both 

 lots were laid down in 1827, and always produced alike when dressed 

 alike. The lot on which I raised my potatoes, I dressed three years 

 with barn manine. Finding the product small in two ways, small 

 potatoes and small crop, in October I spread over the lot 12 loads 

 of fish dressings, (fish garbage, entrails, &c.,) this I ploughed in. 

 This I have done two years in succession, and find the product to be 

 more than one quarter greater than before. I should recommend to any 

 farmer, who can obtain it for the laying down land to grass, or on 

 tillage land, one load in preference to two loads of barn manure. On 

 a lot of 49 rods of land, I raised lOi bushels of corn this year, 

 planted the lOlh of June and taken off October 5ih. This is what 

 we call Canada corn ; a kind I never planted here before." The 

 whole produce of this place is as follows: English hay 14 tons ;
