About two-thirds of the field was rather heavy clay soil, and descended sharply to the north; the remainder consisted of two gravelly knolls and an acre of fairly level, rather light land, on which stood a half dozen large, decaying apple trees. During the summer of 1876, the greater part of the field was used for growing Indian corn, the smaller and poorer part for growing ox-eyed daisies.

The pasture contains a heavy stand of grasses of various kinds. Kentucky blue-grass and white clover are prominent. ripened early and gave an unsatisfactory yield. Immediately after harvest, the field was thoroughly fitted, a little farm manure spread on the knolls, and seeded to wheat in early September.
