WAsurNaroN was ardcnty attached to
agriculture, and its improvement was ever
with him, an object of permanent regard
Virginia can boast Of few sons to whose
efforts Gcr agriculture has been moro sig
nally indebted; few who have assisted IN
promoting its interests to a greater extent
or with the manifestation of more ardent
and patronizmg zeal.
The following account OF his farming
oocrationswil serve to exhibit the "tArH'
,ra oP his Country" --the man "hrs! IN
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
,or his countrymen," in his true light Inc
farm or Gen. Washington, at Mount Fer-
non. consisted Of ten thousand acres III
one boly-equal to about fifteen square
niles. 1t was divided into farms oil con-
yenient size at the distance Of two, three
four or five miles from the mansion house
These larns he visited every day,in pleas
an. weather, and was constantly engaged
in making experiments with view TO the
imDrovemeat Of Agriculture. Some idea
orlhe extent his farming operations may
be from the following facts:- l7o7' he
had five hundred acres in grass -sowed SIX
hundred bushels of oats seven hundred
acres with wheat, and prepared as much
hndrelor corn, barley,poiatoes' peas oeans'
&c, and had Sowed one hundred and hity
wlH'iutniPs. His stock consisted OF one
hundred and forty horses, one hundred and
twelve cows, two hundred and thirty-hVe
working oxen, hcifers and steers, and five
hdudrcd sheep.
HE constantly employed two hundred
and Gfiy hands, aud kept twenty-four plow'
going during the whole year,when the state
Of the weather and soil would permit. Ii
1886, he slaughtered one hundred and fifty
hogs, weighing 1850 lbs, for the use o
his family, beside provisions for his ne
groos. ,,o,,

As soon as the meat is salted to your
