.Vtti' England Farmers' Almanac, for 1831. 



Just published, and for salo by J. B. Russell, at his 



;eil Stoie, No. 52 North JIarket Street, the New 

 E.NGLAND Farmer's Almanac, for 1831. By 

 Thomas G. Fessenden. Editor of the New England 



armer. The Astronomical Calculations, by the Editor 

 if the astronomical part of the American Almanac. 



Our object in this and in the formei numbers of our 

 itlle annual, has been, and continues to be, to give to the 

 'U=y part of mankind the greatest quantity of useful in- 

 jrnialion in the least convenient nuniher of words. We 



not wish our readers, like the gold hunters of North 

 'arolina, should be obliged to silt and examine huge 

 lasses of useless matter, fbi the sake of selecting now 

 nd then a grain worth preserving. 



Together with tlie calculations customary in diaries of 

 le kind, we have under the bead, ' Farmers' Calendar,' 

 iTcn some brief intimations of what may be denominat- 



1 the usual current occupations of the correct cultivator. 

 1 this we merely assume the humble part of prompter, 

 minding those, who may have occasion to glance at our 

 ilumns, when and how certain operations are generally 

 sst performed. It is better for an agriculturist to consult 



Almanac for hints relative to some of the most impor- 

 nt rural labors, than to undertake to obtain any infor- 

 ation fi'om erratic guesses about the weather ; which 

 e no belter guides to a Farmer than would beajaek 

 ith a lanleni to a traveller. But we ask our readers lo 

 always aware that circumstances vary cases, and thai 

 nen we take the liberty to advise, we have not the as- 

 Tance to dictate. Our hints are necessarily concise, be- 

 use our limits are narrow, and we hope to be useful 

 ther by furnishing materials for thought, than absolute 

 d invariable rules for action. ' Calendars,' according 

 a celebrated agricultural writer, ' should only be con- 

 ercd as remembrancers, never as directories.' 

 This Almanac contains the usual miscellaneous and 

 ricultural articles — a list of the civil officei-s of the 

 lited States, with the Governors, Lieut. Governors, and 

 dges of the United States, and the Governors of the 

 itish Colonies — a chronicle of the most remarkable 

 jnts between August, 1829, and Sept. 1830— a com- 

 ■te Calendar for each State in New England, including 

 ! Probate Courts for New England — the Sun's declina- 

 n, &c. The tides are particularly calculated. Among 

 \ agricultural articles, a,re a description of Mr Phinney's 

 I proved roller, with a drawing ; and a drawing and de- 

 iption of an linpi-oved Harrow, used on Capt. Daniel 

 |iandler's Farm in Le.xinglon.

Brighto.n Market — Monday, Sept. 27. 



[Reported for Ihe Chronicleanil Patriot.] 



At Market this day 896 Beef Cattle, 1115 Stores, 2064 

 Sheep, and 957 Swine. About one third the Stores and 

 one third the ,Swine remain unsold. 



Prices— Beef Cattle — About the same as last Monday, 

 from $3,25 to $4,30; a few choice extra Cattle were 

 taken for something more than $4,50. 



Stores. — Sales rather higher, though purchasers appear 

 to hang back. 



.Sheep and Lambs. — Sales quick ; as many more would 

 have been sold readily ; we noticed one lot of 90 taken at 

 $1,50, one of 100 at 1,75, and several lots at $2. 



Swine. — Trade not very brisk; we noticed only three 

 or four lots sold, at from .IJ to 4c. 



N. B. We shall not be able probably through the fol- 

 lowing season, to particularize Beef Cattle from the 

 Stores. We shall also report Sheep instead of Sheep and 

 Lambs, and shall have three heads only, viz: Cattle, 

 Sheep, and Swine.
