THE following valuable communications, refpediing the pre- 

 lent ftate of hufbandry in the county of Northampton, and the 

 means of its Improvement, drawn up for the confideration of the 

 Board of Agriculture, Is now printed, merely for the purpofe of 

 its being circulated there, In order that every perfon, interefted 

 In the welfare of that county, may have It In his power to exa- 

 mine it fully before It is publifhed. It is therefore requefled, 

 that any remark, or additional obfervatlon, which may occur to 

 the reader, on the perufal of the following flieets, may be tranf- 

 mltted to the Board of Agriculture, at Its office in London, by 

 whom the fame fhall be properly attended to; and, when the 

 returns are completed, an account will be drawn up of the ftate 

 of agriculture In Northampton-fliire, from the information thus 

 accumulated, which, It Is believed, will be found greatly fupe- 

 rlor to any thing of the kind ever yet made public. 



The Board has followed the fame plan, In regard to all the 

 other counties In the united kingdom ; and. It is hardly necef- 

 fary to add, will be happy to give every afllftance In its power, 

 to any perfon who may be delirous of Improving his breed of 

 cattle, fheep, ii^c. or of trying any ufeful experiment in huf-
