Our wheat is all meafured by the Linlithgow ftandard firlol, 

 which is a trifle above Winchefter j but the meafure for beans is 

 about 74 per cent, larger than the Linlithgow ftandard. Oats 

 and barley are fold by the Stirlingfhire boll •, that is to fay, our 

 boll of thefe two grains is nearly one peck more than fix ,WiQ»

ExtraB of a Letter from a Farmer in Aberdeetijhire^ dated 'June 26. 



** Cattle in good condition ftill fell high, though not fo dea^-, 

 by IS. 6d. per ftone, as in the month of May ; but lean cattle are 

 almoll unfaleable, on account of a want of grafs. Our grain crops, 

 on light lands, look much better than the badnefs of the braird led 

 us formerly to expe£l j but cold and backward foils are as yet mak- 

 ing a bad appearance, and I am much afraid that the crop upon 

 them will turn out very indiflferent. As for the hay, it is hardly 

 worth the cutting *, and the paftures are exceeding bad, owing, in 

 a great meafure, to the (late of the weather, which continues cold 

 and dry. Our turnips are about all fown ; and we have been fa- 

 voured with a famous feafon. A greater quantity of ground haS 

 been prepared for this branch of hufbandry than ufual. There is 

 not fo great apprehenfions entertained now about a fupply of grain 

 as lately : but, as the crop will be late, efpecially if growing weather 

 does not fct in, there neceflarily mud be a greater degree of fcarcity 

 before harveft than has yet been felt. Potatoes are this year planted 

 to a great extent, and appear to do well, which will be the firfl; 

 fubftantial relief to the diilreffed poor. You would be aftoni(hed 

 at the fmall quantity of meal which is confumed, even in Urge fa- 

 milies,
