There are now before the public the de- 



[ tails of three methods of shed-feeding sheep 



— the system of box or pen-feeding adopted 



by Mr. Huxtable, the method of stall-feeding- 



' practiced by Sir Richard Simeon, Bart., and 



' the plan of having movable houses in the 



\ turnip field recommended by other gentle 



men. Each system seems to have peculiar 



advantages as well as disadvantages, but all 



agree in the economical manufacture and 



expenditure of the manure.

Flour and Wheat. 



We take the following very interesting table from 

 a late^number of the Pa. Enquirer. It would appear 

 that we sent away last year more flour than we had 

 ever done before : nearly twice as much as in 1845, 

 and more than four times as much wheat as in 1845. 

 One fact in the table strikes us as remarkable: it 

 seems that in 1793, we exported more wheat than in 

 any subsequent year except 1840 and '4G— and consi- 

 derably more than an average amount of flour for tl)e 

 last 57 years. The increase of population keeps up 

 with the increased production that is the combined re- 

 sult of improved agriculture and extended fields. — Ed. 



The following valuable table, showing the 

 exports of flour and wheat from the United 

 States, since 1790, was originally prepared 

 for the Commercial List of this city, and 

 appeared in that Journal several years in 

 succession prior to 1842-43; since which 

 time the table has been completed by an- 

 other hand.

 1846 inclusive, were 16,661,312 bushels, and 

 of flour 54,358,088 barrels. 



The Royal Agricultural Society of Eng- 

 land, 



HfeLD its Annual Exhibition the present 

 season at Northampton, from the 20th to the 

 23rd of July, inclusive. The show of ani- 

 mals was considered equal to any former 

 one. The Short-horn, Hereford, and Devon 

 cattle in particular, are spoken of as being 

 uncommonly fine. The prizes for the two 

 best Short-horn bulls, were awarded to John 

 Parkinson, of Ley-fields, near Newark, and 

 William Smith, of West- Rasen; for the best 



* Nine months, the termination of the fiscal year 

 being changed from September to June.
