quart Of water to the hill, allowing sixteen hilla
per square rod which will make .2,560 hills, 10
the acre, and this, at one quart per hill, will
make 6i0 gallons of water, which will make 40
gallons ofmolasSes, Valued at 75 cents per gal
Ion, it would amount to $50, 50 per acre, and I
do not hesitate. in saying that the amounts mar
be doubled. | would urge upon the farmers Of
