The accounts from England seem to sustain the ad- 

 vanced prices of grain. Our own short crop of oals, 

 aud tlie great diminution from ilie usual yield of hay, 

 together with the high price of potatoes, would proba- 

 bly of themselves, willi>)ut any extraordinary demand 

 from abroad, secure to tlie farmer a fair price for his 

 produce this w inter. Flour is worth from $0 50, to $7. 

 Wheat, $1 s2o to $1 35. Kye, 70 cents. Old cum, 75 to 

 gOcents, and new,55 to CO cents. Oats 45 cents. Good 

 round potatoes arc worth Go cents; and first-rate Tim- 

 olliy hay will briug $20 to $i-2 a ton. 



The Editor has perhaps more than once adverted to 

 the increase of comfort that would bo made to the 

 farmer's family, by the introduction of a coal stove 

 into his kitchen. There is scarcely any department 

 io his domestic arrangements in which he should feel 

 a livelier interest, or where increased accommodations 

 would be more sensibly felt. When the coal tire is 

 properly managed it need not go out at night, but keeps 

 alive without much or any consumption of coal, and 

 consequently in the morning the tire is lively at once — 

 the room is warm — and if an early breakfast is needed 

 for the early stirring teamster — our Jersey fiiends will 

 understand this, who start by day break for the viarl 

 pit or the czdar swamp — the tea kettle may be found 

 boiling by the first one that is up. With respect to the 

 question of economy, we apprehend that where mer 

 chantable wood is burned, and within easy reach of 

 navigation, coal will be found as cheap as wood. But 

 even if coal were a little more expensive, the addi- 

 tional comfort is worth paying something for. Our 

 farming readers who have not already made this im- 

 provement, will give it a turn in their minds.
