To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Accordingly, I directed a quantity of black peat mud, procured by ditching, for the purpose of draining and reclaiming an alder swamp, a part of which I had some years since brought into a state highly productive of the cultivated grasses, to be thrown in heaps. Dur- ing the winter I also had collected, in Salem, 282 bushels of un- leached wood ashes, at the cost of 12 cents per bushel. These were sent up to my farm, a part to spread on my black soil graas 270 APPENDIX. lands, and a part to be ...mixed with mud for my tillage land. Two hundred bushels of these were spread on about six acres of such grass land, while it was covered with ice, and frozen hard enough to be carted over, without cutting it into ruts. These lands produced from one to two tons of good merchantable hay to the acre, nearly double the crop produced by the same lands last year. And one fact induces me to think, that, being spread on the ice, as above mentioned, a portion of these ashes was washed away by the spring freshet.
