175 
bushels per acre ; tlio clover has come well, and the land is in 
an excellent state. 
No. 3. In wheat 1841, the crop even, and in every respect 
similar to No. I , with 2G bushels per acre ; the land was plouo:hed 
and worked with the same application of manures as No. 1, with 
the same success. 
No. 4. Wheat 1842, after clover, with the exception of about 
3 acres, which was much thinned by the slug as it came up ; the 
rest of the field was a heavy crop ; it lay in a slanting direction, 
and will not in consequence, I think, yield so well ; I estimate it 
to be 26 bushels per acre. The field was ploughed a foot deep 
in November last, preparatory for turnips, 1843: it will be in a 
fme state. 
No. 5. The part drained and subsoil-ploughed; barley 1841, 
very good, the average per acre was 30 bushels. Clover grazed, 
1842, exceedingly good ; to lay another year. 
No. 6. Barley 1841, the crop very good ; produce per acre 
20 bushels. Clover, 1842, mown, and a very heavy crop; wheat 
sown. This field is in a high state of cultivation. 
No. 7. Barley 1841, the crop very good ; average produce per 
acre 30 bushels. Clover, 1842, a strong crop mown, now sown 
with wheat, which the slug attacked as it came up, and, I fear, 
has thinned the stock. Swede turnip-tops were scattered over the 
field, which they took to feed upon, and upwards of half a bushel 
of slugs were collected. I still think there is plant for a crop ; 
the land is in a high state. 
No. 8. Turnips 1841, and barley 1842 ; crop very good, esti- 
mated at 40 bushels per acre. Clover and rye-grass sown in the 
barley, and the stock is good. 
No. 9. Drained and subsoil-ploughed, and part of which is 
dry sound land ; turnips 1841, barley 1842 ; the crop vei'y strong, 
estimated at 40 bushels per acre. Clover sown, and the stock 
good ; the land in a high state. 
No. 10. Wheat 1842 ; subsoil-ploughed in November and 
December, preparatory for turnips 1843. 
No. 11. Oats 1841, after a three-years' ley; a good crop, 
drained previous ; produce 42 bushels per acre. Turnips 1842 
(Scotch yellows), very good; ^ ton of bones and about 6 tons of 
fold manure to an acre ; drilled 27 inches apart, and about one- 
third of these turnips have been drawn off for the cattle, and the 
remainder eaten on the ground with sheep. Generally over this 
field lumps of rock prevail, with many stones, in a stiff soil. 
No. 12. Oats 1842, after a three-years' ley; the crop turned 
out much better than was expected ; the produce per acre is 40 
bushels. This field now subsoil-ploughed, preparatory for turnips 
-1843. Coltsfoot and sow-thistle prevail much.
