RA TRIER, 
[APRIL 4, 
of Agriculture and Commerce submitted the following | 
question to the pariant and dpi: societies in 
le to borrow, 
with ease, the eis E for is labours of 
amelioration?” Forty-five of the departments have 
replied in the negative and in a positive manner ; nine 
affirmatively and positively ; and eight affirmatively, 
but as regards special cases. The answers of five of 
the departments, of the 67 who have replied, are doubt- 
as the question does not appear to have been tho- 
eats understood. 
CALENDAR e EERE NONS, 
Tnuz sowing of Barley and over and the sowing of Carrots, 
must be completed now as soon as possible. Wheat should be 
rowed and rolled fee ihe land is dry enough, and hoe 
where foul, The land intended for Mangold Wurzel should be 
scarified preparatory to carting on 
manure and plou; i Couch-grass, oe Lother Za 
should be gathered off the land after this operati. 
The present is à convenient PEOR for is Podio ma- 
ide on corn crops or Grass lai 
n inland situations, 20 odds ‘of soot, 2 cwt. of salt, ;, and 
e of lime, would be a 
mitrate of a manuring 
when the land is apt to grow but little qua as fex that pem 
be named. Heaps of Carrots, Swedes, and ‘old Wurzel, 
may now be ih and turned erre until con- 
sumed; the last especially will be benefited by being exposed to 
drying winds.

AMOUNT NOT PRICE or PRODUCE THE MAIN PoiNT—A Farmer 
—We must refer you to what has already been said on this 
subject. Ofcourse the statement is true only within certain 
limi 
interest? Isit not dese d fair to reason. Prom other mai 
factures to that of beef, mutton, and ‘ bread stuffs ?" We 
find that the prices of most manufactured goods have been 
enormously reduced in amount by the employment of more 
efücient machinery, and yet the profits on those manufac- 
tures have not diminished ; they have greatly increased, 
owing to the vastly extended production consequent on the 
use of that machinery. And why is all this jai gliatté 
when one speaks of the profits of farming ?
