which are gathered from my watering places, once in four or five 

 years. 



Since I have had the management of this farm, (which is about 

 twenty years) I have made six acres of ray field land out of a rough, 

 stoney and almost barren pasture. Five acres of my orcharding are 

 on land which I took in its natural state, covered v;ith trees, bushes 

 and full of small stones, the produce of which land was scarcely any 

 thing. 



The stone wall which I have built is five hundred rods, the stones 

 for whicli, some of them were near, and some of them at the dis- 

 tance of half a mile ; the most of this I have done at intervals, with 

 the ordinary labor which has been employed to manage the farm. 

 I have my farm now alt fenced with a good stone wall, on the out 

 side ; my cross fen-ces anrd the fences round my orchards are stone 

 wally with the exception of about fifty rods. 



Since this farm came into my hanils,. I have, by paying attention 

 to making manure, stiring the soil oftsn, and where it has not been 

 practicable to plough, top dressing made the faim to produce nearly 

 double that it formerly did. 



The produce of my farm the present year is : — 

 English Hay, - 25 tons 



Salt and Fresh Hay, 20 " 

 Indian Corn in the ear, 317 bush. 

 Wheat, - - 25 *' 



Oats, - - - 20 " 

 Pears, - - 8 " 



Onions, - - - 3 " 

 English Turnips, - 3 " 



This is the produce of my farm the present year, besides peas, 

 beans, and vegetables of all kinds sufficient for two families. 



I have since the third day of last March, raised twenty-nine 

 pigs, which sold from two dollars to two dollars fifty cents each. 



The produce of seven cows is as follows : — 



Cheese 900 pounds, mostly new milk. 



Butter 299 pounds, besides the milk used in two families, one 

 consisting of seven,, the other of five persons. 



The labour employed to manage the farm, from the first of De- 

 cember, 1828,. to the first of December, 1829, is myself and son ; — 

 I have paid for labour twenty-one dollars and seven cents; — labour 

 done by myself and son at mechanical business, amounts to sixty 

 seven dollars and fifty cents.
