Synopsis of the Weather. 



Remarks. 



Sept. 



Dry, Dry, Dry, 



59.66° 



about 2° warmer than the 

 averajre. 



about 4° colder than the 

 average. 



about the average. 



about 5° warmer than the 

 average, and the warm- 

 est for many years. 



about 3° colder than the 

 average. 



By the above table it appears that No. 5, which has had no 

 manure, produced within $5.73 as much per acre as the ave- 

 ra<Te of those which had manure. And, also, that No. 4, which 

 had the manure spread upon the surface last year, after planting, 

 and produced the smallest crop, $29.27 less than the average of 

 the other three lots, has this year produced the largest crop, or 

 at the rate per acre of $8.52 more than the average of the other 

 three lots. These results, so different from what we usually ex- 

 pect, I might have attributed to some mistake, had it not been 

 that I husked and weighed it myself, and Avas very particular to 

 put down the figures at the time. 



No. 6, which I tried, for my own satisfaction, v/ith double the 

 quantity of manure, has this year produced at the rate per acre 

 of $34,82 more than the average of the four lots, which, added to 

 the surplus of last year, after deducting the value of the manure, 

 leaves a profit of about forty dollars, and something will, probably, 

 be added to this the next year. The experiment with No. 7 was 

 not continued this year.
