MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 
N the sound and dry grounds, bean-planting is nearly finished, and some oats and pease 
got into the earth; in less favoured situations, and where tillage has been backward, this 
branch of husbandry will not be complete until nearly the middie of next month: The 
wheats in general kave improved in their appearance, excepting upon wet and poachy soils, 
where they still look yellow and unhealthy. Mr. Kemp's practice of putting in spring corn, 
without the aid of the plough, has been tried by several experim-ntal farmers with beans 
and oats, and report speaks well of the state of those lands. From the late Tains, tillage 
has been difficult, and is backward in low and undrained sgils, a difficulty which will be felt 
on Such throughout the spring. Ds 
The common turnips have suffered from wet upon unfavourable soils, but the ruta baga is 
a certain dependence, wherever cultivated, and its culture, as it ought, increases every year, 
throughout the island. From the nature of last year’s crops, straw must become very scarce 
towards the latter end of the season ; and from the dearness of hay, those stock farmers who 
have not provided themselves amply with green crops, will he reduced to great difficulty. 
Some losses of sheep by the rot, in the midland counties, were spoken of in the past months» 
but nothing on that head is reseated, mor much yet respecting the lambs. Little alteration 
in the country since last month in the cattle-markets, or the farm-yards. The corn+markets 
ave had an ample supply, yet the general opinion is, that wheat mast be dedter,j it must 
however be noted, that never hefore was so great a breadth of wheat sown inl England and 
Scotland, a3 during the last seed season, and much land is yet reserved for spring wheat, the 
culture of which has been abundantly successful for many years, and increases ip consequence.
