In 1794 — In the feeding-pafture fourteecn 

 cows, fourteen horfes, fifty ewes, and fixty-four 

 lambs. All did well — the lambs uncommonly 

 good. In the eighteen acres, fix acres of pota- 

 toes in drills three feet afunder — the forts fet, 

 the kidney, ox-noble, manly, champion, red- 

 apple, white-apple, and lemon, which produced 

 a good crop — the ox-noble, ninety facks per 

 acre ; the manly, eighty ditto ; the red-apple, 

 eighty ditto ; the white, feventy ditto; the kid- 

 ney, fifty ditto*, the lemon, forty ditto. At 

 one corner of the fix acres was a piece of fward 

 I took from the high road, dug by the fpade, 

 and fet with potatoes. Ten fquare yards were 

 planted in the lazv-bed method, and ten yards 

 fquare by digging the land and fetting in drills, 

 as is ufual; the land being all manured The 

 lazy-bed method raifed fixteen (lone four 

 pounds : the drills at eighteen inches afunder, 

 feven flone five pounds. From this experi- 

 ment I have improved much in the manner of 

 fetting potatoes. The other twelve acres oats, 

 bad ; The ten acres and two acres being put 

 into one field; fix acres of wheat, good : fix 

 acres barley, middling. The nine acres re- 

 mained meadow.
