the markets Of Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore, was bought for eight dol

The first wear after Col. d. purchased
his farm. he rented it to tenant, who had
stock of one horse and four head of cat
tie, for the support Of which he had not
near a sufliciency Of provender; at this
time the farm produces an abundance OF
fodder to winter ten horses and thirty
head of cattle. His crops OF wheat the
last three years, were 8, S, and 600 bushels,
and should the ensuing season prove as
propitious to fall crops as they ordinarily
are, he expects 1000 bushels. This would
make an average increase, for the four
years mentioned, of 500 bushels per year
"a pretty encouraging ratio Of increment

II is about six years since the Colonel
built his lime-kiln, which was the third in
the township. The limestone and lime
which has improved this farm so much, has

property, so. 100, or 600 percent.

persons depending on it for support, is a
bout one hundred and forty and the guam

the number Of cattle fed IN the afore said
farm, would be nearly sufficient to subsist
