Nortkurnberland ^larierly Report. 



In the laft Report, it was ftatcd that the frod fet in on the loth 

 January, which continued, with little interruption, until the 13th March. 

 Thefe frods were accompanied with very little, and in feme places no 

 fnow. Of courfe, the ground was in general bare, and expofed to all 

 inclemencies of the winter ftorms. Since the 13th March, the weather 

 lias been uncommonly fine, frcfli, and dry ; and, though rather late for 

 fowing beans, yet the fine tilth of the land, and the very favourable 

 fuccceding circumftances, will probably tend to make them ripen as 

 early, and be as produflive, as if they had been fown a month fooner. 

 In many places, the plants have gotten above ground, and are looking 

 remarkably healthy. 



''ihe feed- time for oats and barley was never known finer or more 

 favourable ; though, towards the latter end of the feafon, fome lands 

 for barley got fomewhat hard and (lubborn, and required a little extra 

 labour of rolling, harrowing, and horfe-hoeing, to make them fufficiently 

 pulverized for the clover and grafs feeds. 



The winter wheats have fuffered in many places very much from the 

 feverity of the frofts. On fome lands that were naked fummer fallow, 

 ploughed ^i^i or feven times, and put into as high tilth as poflible, the 

 failure is remarkably great ; while, in the fame field, the wheat fown 

 after potatoes, and, in an adjoining field, after drilled beans, has re- 

 ceived little injury. On good, ftrong foils, the crop^^ are looking well ; 

 but the appearance, in general, is not promifing. In a journey through 

 difFerent parts of the county of Durham lail week, 1 obfervcd that the 

 wheat crops are moftly weak and thin. 



The young clovers m.adc fo rapid a progrefs by the mild frefh weather 

 in March, that they were fufiiciently grown to be (locked with fncep 

 the I ft of April. The clovers appear every where to have taken re- 

 markably well lafl: year, there being fcarcely an inltance of failure ; and 

 I do not recolletl ever feeing either a fuller plant of clover, or the old 

 paftures and meadows with fo much gvi'fs at this feafon. 



The demand for lean ftock ftill continues, v.ith little variation of 

 prices; for fat, the prices vary according to quality; beef, from 7s. 

 6d. to Ss. per ftone of 14 lib. fink; nice kyloe ftots, at 9s. ; fliecp, 

 from 7d. to 8d. per lib. fink.
