AGRICUL'1'TRAL LETTER PROM
GE&4 WASHlINTON.
We are indebted to tO kitinless or an
old friend A the following Valfable doc-.
ment; valuable tVt only ibeasse or the
revered soufte fromb which it emnauaes,
but because it affords lbY eteellent les
sons fromn able and practical farmer ;
it is too strongly characterietic of the
American hero. We see here the exercise
in private life of that attention to detail,
that inDexible devotion to order and div
cipline. u hieb so eminently mark i i pub
lic characterf Washington. No one can
read this letter without seeing at once that
(lie writer Wins an industrious. sound.
practical farmer. ie, whose indotnitable
energy had'gwen freedom to a world, did
not esteem th, most minute details of ag
riculturn unorthy his attention.
It %ill probably surprise the reader to
ind Gen. Washington insisting upon the
ise or harrows and cultivators in the cul
ivation of his corn; this we have been
accustomed t6 plume ourselves upon as a
nuch more nodern iuvention.
This letter, zirected to his overseerm, is
aken from the manuscript copy in Wash
nxton's ownband writin, and, as we are
tiformed, no* appears in porint fur the
irst tine.
PuAadelphia, 14th July. 1793.
Gentlemed,-it being indespensably ne
essary that I should have sonie persuu at

nunicate my- orders;-who will see that
bese orders froexecuted ; or, if not obey
d, who wil1nform me why they are not;
-who i ill deceive the weekly reports and

'Wessnoger at
setablished reputation in these matters.
(ou will, therefore pay due regard to such
lirections as you may receive from him,
onsidering them as coming immediately
-om myselr. But that yod also mnay have
general knowledge of what I expect
rom you. I shall convey the following
-iewv (which I have of the business com
nitted to yourcarge) as it appears to me,
tnd direct you to govern yourself by it : as
am persuaded nothing itconsistent
herewith will be ordered ly Mir. Lewtb,
%itbout authority from mc to depart firom
L
lst. Although it is almost needless to rc
nark that the corn ground at the farm you
verlooik ought to be kept perfectly clean
ud well ploughed-yet. tsecause not oity
he goodness of the crop depends upon
uch management. but also the whient cropi
vbich is to succeed it, I cannot forbear
irging the .propriety and necesbity of the
reasure it very strong terms.
ed. The wheat 13 to be got into the barns
ir into stacks as soon as it can he done
rih any ort of convenience. thiet it may
tot (especially the bearded wheat, which
" subject to injury by wet weather.) sus
ain loss in shocks-and because iho .hat
cred grain in the fields may be beneficial
o the stock; hut no hogs are to be put ou
tubble fields int whticht grass seeds were
owvn last fall, wintter or sprng;: other stock,
owever, may be turned oin them, as it is
uoing that would be prejudicial.
3d. The whole swamp from the rtiad
rom Manley's bridge up to the lane lead
ng to the new ban, is to be got into the
est and most complete order for sowitng
~rass seeds in A ugust-or. a t farthest, by
lie middle of September. Tho lowest and
wettest part thereof is to be sown witht
imuotby beed alone. All the other parts
>f it are toibo sown with timothy atd
,lover seeds'ixed. The swamp on the'
thier side,'T the aforesaid lanec (now in
orn and ont1s) is to be kept in the best pos-I
ible order, that the part not already sown a
with grass-s'ieds, may receive thetm either
hiii auttumd,(as soon as the corn can be
aken off' with safety) or in the spring, as
ircumstad~s shall dictate.
Nu exeion or pains arc to be spared at
[)aguertun to get the swamp rwm Mlalcy'sj
iridge up to the meadow above, and thel
wo enclosuires int the mill swamp, in thel
tighest order for grass, to be sown in the
ime and manner above mentioned. But
baa no more may 40 attempted thin cano
e executed well, proceed in the following1
arder with them accordingly as the wean
her may happen to be, for this mitst he
:onsulted, as dry weather will answer to
stork in the low parts best, whilst the
sigher grounds may be workcd at any
1st. Begin with the swamp from Mlan
cy's bridge upwards, and get all that is
sot already in grass well prepared for it,
titd indeed sown. 2d. That part of the
ower meadow ont the mill run, which lies
setween the old bed of it and the race.I
and within the fences. 3d. After this i
lone, take that part in the enclosure above
which was in corn last year) lying be
ween the ditch and fence of N~o. 1, upl
and down so the cross fence. 4th. Then .
go over tbe ditch and prepare slipe aft.r.
dlino as theditch runs from the one cross
fence to the other, and coninue to do thit
as long as the season will be good, or the
seed can be sown with propriety and safety.
I conceive that the mnily way to get tluse
grounds in good orier und with eI)pdi
tion, is to give them one good pliatghing
and then to tear them to pieces with heavy
harrows. Whother it be necessary to cut
down and take off the weeds previous to
these works can be decided better by expe
riments oil thb spot than by reasoning ot
it At i distance. Mv desire is that the
ground shall be made perfectly clean, and
laid down smooth; without which inead
ows will always he foul-:nuch grass left
in theta, andl iany scythes btokcn in cut
ting what is taken oi.
4th. The buckwheat which has been
sown for manure ought to be plonghed in
the moment a sufficiency of seed is ripe to
stock the grouud a s-Cond time ; other-wise.
ro fur froru its answering the purpsose of
inanure, it will become an exhauster. For
this reason. if the ploughs belonging to the
farm are unable to turs it in its ime. thosc
of Muddy hole, Dague run and Union
farm, must combine to do it, the wurik to
be repaid by the farm which receives the
benefit, as soon as the work is accomplisth
ed thereat.
5th. When clover and imothy seeds
are mixed and sown together allow live
punts of the first, and three of the latter tw
the acre; aud where aiimoahy nly i, slown.
allow four cluari to she ascre. Let the
seed be massured in the proportions here
allotted and put imo a half bushel, ual
;he half bushel filled with sand or dry
earti, and extremely well amixed together
in your own presence or hby yourself, which
will answer two good purposes. viz: II.
to prevent theta, for soeis thus mixed.
would not sell-and 2lly, the sesdsman
being accusermed to sow a bushel of " heat
tu the acre would be at no loss to cast a
bushel of tbis or anything else, regularly
on that quanity of ground.
6th. It is expected yot will begin to
bow wheat early in August, and in ground
perfectly cleats and well ploughd. I
would have, and do accordingly direct ttat
not less thau tive peeks of seed be sown
on each acre. The plan of the farm over
which you look is given to Mr. Lewis,
from which the couents of each field may
be known. And it is smy express direction
that every watcb, and the best attention
may be given, to see that this quantity ac
tually is put in; for I have strong suspi
-eiini (but this ought not to be hated to
them) that the seedsaen help themselvc,
to a pretty large toll.
7th. As soon as you have done sowing.
and even befosre, if it can he done conven
iently, you are to set heartily about
