 operation has afforded but small opportunity for nice observations 

 and experiments. We have done considerable at underdraining our 

 low and wet grounds to very great advantage. We have paid no 

 particular attention to our breed of cattle. It is not convenient for

 boast of, and eight hundred bushels of carrots. Our milch cows are 

 of the common kind."
