 which would hurt it, will, in a few weeks, he carried off to 

 fueh a degree, that it will afterwards keep fweet with very 

 little airing, as has hecn found by experience. 



By the lame means many other kinds of feeds, as well as 

 corn, may be keptfweet either in lacks or imall bins. 



This method mull not be underftood as applicable to bar-

AGRICULTURE. 



It is with extreme pleafure we announce to the friends of 

 agriculture, and indeed to the world at large, that the Duke 

 of Bedford is going to ellabliih, at his own individual ex- 

 penfe, an agricultural college at Woburn. 



What are to be the particular regulations of this inftitu- 

 tion, as princely as it is no* J, we have not at prefent been 

 informed; all that we yet learn is, that the Profeflbr will 

 have the opportunity of availing himfelf of whatever is going 

 forwards on his Grace's very extend ve farm, and of fuper- 

 intending the various operations and experiments which 

 now are, or will be in future, carried on there. The gen-

 office is, we underftand, the Reverend Mr. Edmund Cart- 

 wright. His Grace's choice, the reader mull agree with us, 

 could not have fallen on any one more competent to a filia- 

 tion requiring not only much practical knowledge, but 

 great variety of fcientific attainments. 



Sincerely do we congratulate the public on the eltablifh- 

 ment of this mod ufeful inftitution, the firft certainly of its 

 kind in this country, and, we believe, in P^urope. Of the 

 real patriotifm and munificence of its truly noble founder, 

 there can be only one fentiment. 



SPANISH WOOL. 



One of the prejudices which molt ftrongly oppofe the pro- 

 pagation of (beep with fuperfine wool, is the opinion, too 

 generally difiufed, that this race cannot fucceed in our cli- 

 mate and with our ordinary paftures. The ufeful voyage 

 that C. Latteyrie has recently made in the north of Europe, 

 enables us to announce, that even the exceflive cold docs 

 not contribute to the degeneration of wool, as the Spa- 

 niih race is preferved pure in the mod northern parts of 

 Sweden and Denmark. A fact lately obferved by C. Richard 

 D'Aubigny even enables us to advance, that bad food and
