MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



THE old year took its leave and the new one commenced with N. E. winds and 

 white frosts, by no means distinguished for their severity. These continued to the 

 5th instant, when the wind veered to the southward of the E., reproducing the 

 former mild and moist temperature, which was fully confirmed on the 10th by 

 another change of the wind to the W., where it has been fixed to the present day, 

 excepting occasional northern variations, but those more generally to the southern 

 quarter, with almost constant fogs, and a degree of mildness both uncommon and 

 unseasonable at this time of the year. On the strength of this atmospheric sketch, 

 our weather wise-acres determine that so much moisture has been expended in fog, 

 as to leave little for the production of much snow or rain, during the present winter ; 

 and should this mildness continue, gloomy apprehensions are entertained of a cold 

 ungenial spring. 



The country business of the season is universally reported in a state of great for- 

 wardness, notwithstanding the general complaints of poverty. The few days, or 

 week of mild frost, were taken advantage of, for carting manure upon the land, 

 which succeeded upon light and dry soils ; but certainly tne damage done thereby 

 to wet and poachy lands, far outweighed the expected benefit, taking into the ac- 

 count the extra and severe labour of the teams, and the cutting up, both public and 

 private roads. The mild weather continuing, all possible expedition has been used 

 in finishing wheat seed, but little of which remained to be done over year, except- 

 ing in the warm south-western districts, and on some parts of the northern border. 

 The scarcity of English wheat, and that choak-pear to the farming interest, the 

 immense import, have stimulated our farmers to the greatest exertions, and there 

 surely never before was so great a breadth of land sown with wheat in England, 

 Scotland, and Wales, as in tne present season. We heartily wish their patriotic 

 exertions may be rewarded by a productive crop ; a blessing unfortunately unknown 

 in this country, during several past years. Its early appearance was never more 

 universally promising ; but the great desideratum, at present, is a few weeks' frost 

 and dry weather, to check a too great luxuriance, which, unchecked, may detract 

 from the solid production of grain. The young seeds, like the wheats, are so for- 

 ward in the grass, as to excite a similar apprehension. Trefoil excepted, the seeds 

 of last year proved a general failure. We cannot help again noticing the prayers 

 of our friends for frost, to check the WEEDS, couch, charlock, et id genus omne, and 

 beg to remind them of the carter, whose load being set, fell down on his knees to 

 Hercules, instead of himself lifting at the wheel. Be it remembered, however, we 

 address only farmers of property. As to the corn farming on poor lands, that has 

 long since ceased to be a money-making, or even a living concern. Turnips,
