THE AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE. 



[Mar. 2, 



on Soils," and "Johnston's Lectures on Agricultural 

 Chemistry ami Geology," admit* of a question. His work, 

 however, "mav fall into" the hands of those who would not 

 have purchased the above volumes, and it may induce 

 others to commence the study of the subject of which 

 they treat, who will not be satisfied with the taste Mr. 

 Whitley htm given them of it, but will be led to drink at 

 the fountain head. At all events the reputation of 

 being a geologist and a chemist will now be as advan- 

 tageous to the author, in his profession, as it would, a few 

 years ago, have been detrimental to him ; and we heartily 



•wish him success. 



In the following sober and judicious summary of the 

 benefits to be derived from Geology in the improvement 

 and valuation of laud we fully concur. We give it as a 

 specimen of Mr. Whitley's most successful manner of 



treating his subject : — 



44 1st. Geology offers to the practical Agriculturist 

 essential aid in affording the means of definitely describ- 

 ing and cl ifying the various soils, thereby enabling him 

 to apply to the land he cultivates those means of improve- 

 ment found by experience to be suitable to any particular 

 soil. 2d. Geology enables us to infer, from the mineral 

 constituents of the parent rock, the chemical composition 

 of the soil, and hence,' to select such plants as may be 

 most adapted to it. ad. Geology points out the causes of 

 fertility or unproductiveness, with the manure generally 

 adapted to any particular soil, and the means by which 

 •waste land may be effectively reclaimed. 4th. Geology is 

 of essential importance to the land-valuer, not only fur- 

 nishing him with the information stated above, but ena- 

 bling him to distinguish temporary fertility or exhaustion 

 of land from its natural productiveness, and supplying 

 him with data from whence he may estimate with some 

 degree of certainty the value of the unexplored mineral 

 wealth."—/;. W. 



Miscellaneous. 



Agriculture in France. — On Monday the Central Con- 

 gress of Agriculture opened at the Luxembourg its first 

 session, the duration of which is fixed by the rules at one 

 week ; the Duke PsOWSI presided. More than 250 Agri- 

 culturists from different parts of France, a great number 

 of Peers and Deputies, and members of scientific societies 

 were present at the meeting. The bureau is composed 

 as follows :— President, the Duke Decazes ; Vice-Presi- 

 dents, MM. de Gasparin, de Tracy, the Marquess de 

 Torcy, and M. de Caumont. After having agreed upon 

 all the questions to be discussed, the Congress entered 

 upon those of Agriculture, Education, and Experimental 

 Farms. Several able speeches were delivered. The mem- 

 bers then formed their committees, and adjourned at half- 

 past four till the following day. 



Caution to Farmers. — Last week, four bullocks belong- 

 ing to Mr. Lee, of Neopardy Farm, Crediton, died sud- 

 denly, without apparent cause. Mr. Reed, veterinary 

 surgeon, found, on searching their stomachs, a quantity 

 of the common Yew, mixed with the other food. On opening 

 the skull, the membranes of the brain appeared in a very 

 congested state, the poison having acted on the brain and 

 nervous system, producing symptoms resembling apoplexy. 

 A few days be'ore, Mr. Lee had cut down a Yew tree, 

 and two or three of the faggots were left where the animals 

 had free access, and having been for some time deprived 

 of green fodder, they ate it with great avidity. — Western 

 Luminary. 



Guano from Africa. — We have this morning seen a 

 private letter from Liverpool, in which is the following 

 important information : — " The first vessel from Africa 

 with Guano arrived here yesterday afternoon— the Leven- 

 side,with400 tons, full cargo. She reports a great number 

 of vessels, some loaded, some partially so, riding off the 

 island, and from the information which I have been able 

 to receive, we shall shortly have a very large quantity 

 from that quarter. The Levenside's cargo is on Glasgow 

 account, and the captain set off for Glasgow a few hours 

 after arrival at this port.". We find from the Clyde ship- 

 ping-list that the Levenside sailed from the Clyde on the 

 20tli of September, having cleared out for Valparaiso, 

 and comes to Liverpool from the island of Angia Pequena, 

 coast of Africa. — Ayr Advertiser. 



Notices to Correspondents. 



Rural Chemistrv, By Edward Solly, Esq., F.R.S., Expert- 

 mental Chemist to the Horticultural Society of London, Hon. 

 Diem, of the Royal Agricultural Society, and Lecturer on Che- 

 mistry at the Royal Institution, has been reprinted from the 

 Gardeners'' Chronicle, with additions, and may be had of all 

 booksellers, price 4s. 6d. 



Our CoftRBsroNDBNTi will oblige us by not mixing tog-ether 

 Agricultural and Horticultural questions, and by writing them 

 on one side of the paper only. Sucli precautions can give them 

 no trouble, and will save as a great deal. 



Communications from the following Corrkspondbnts are in 

 type, and are only waiting till room can be found for them : —

 mond, F. Singer, W. liillington, W.B. Booth, and G.Anderson. 



Cheap Watkr-Powkr. — Anonymous. — The cheapest water- 

 power is one invented and patented by Mr. T. Burstall, manu- 

 factured at the Uley Iron Works. 



■Convkrsio.v of Sulphates of Potash and Soda into Car- 

 bonates.— ( Irricus.— It is an expensive process, requiring an 

 apparatus of lurnaces, &c, &c. 



Course of Choi- i':\;.— J. L. T.— We should think that one- 

 half your farm being in Grain crop, the other half might be 

 cropped as follows : — l -3rd Clover, i-6th Swedes, 1 6th Carrots, 

 l-6th Mangold Wurtzel, 1.6th Potatoes. Supposing you have 

 12 fields, your rotation would then be thus :— l Wheat, 2 

 Swedes, 3 Wheat or Barley, &c. sown down with Clover-seeds, 

 4 Clover, 5 Wheat, 6 Potatoes, 7 Wheat or Barley, &c. • 8 

 Mangold Wurtzel, 9 Wheat or Bailey sown down with Clover- 

 seeds, 10 Clover, ll Wheat, 12 Carrots. We believe by cross- 

 ing the Down ewe with the Cotswold ram you will obtain as 

 useful a stock of .sheep as any one who intends to grow fat 

 mutton can obtain. Thanks for your instructive letter. The 

 per centage of potash given in your analysis is so great as to 

 make us doubt its accuracy. 



Extirpation of the Rkkd. - J. Uc J., Fhllsborough.-Dcain th, 

 land'an.t this plant will ultimately die out of it. We doubt 

 the efficacy of specific- for particular weeds, such as the appli- 

 cation of salt, &c. Many thanks for your voluminous paper.

 A bushel of Perennial Rye-grass. 6 lbs. of Timothy, lbs of 

 Meadow Fescue, 3 lbs. of hard ditto, 3 lbs. of Meadow Foxtail, 

 3 lbs. of Cocksfoot, 3 lbs. of Cow-grass, 6 lbs. of White Clover, 



as seed for one acre. 

 Gvpseous MABL.-il Subscriber. -Vie think it would be a most 

 valuable top-dressing for Grass. Try ten cubic yards per acre, 



uniformly spread. 

 INSECT-KU.1.INO M anure.- W. Cormack.-We will publish tne 

 well-authenticated results of experiments, but cannot insert 

 such a general and apparently extravagant statement as that 



you send. .,. ., , 



Limk.-G. B. M.— Lime has been applied on the siliceous sails of 

 Whitfield-farm before scarifying the Turnip land in March for 

 Barley, before ploughing Clover-lea in Oct. for Wheat ; and 

 on Oat, Wheat, and Barley-stubble in autumn for the fallow- 

 crop of the following year, aud in all these instances with uni- 

 formly good effect. 



Llcerne.— 0. B. F.— See Home Correspondence. 



Mangold Wurtzel. —y «?. — Mid-April is the proper seed- 

 time. We shall refer to the subject shortly. 



Manures.— A Beginner.— Your compost will be benefited by 

 being soaked with liquid manure ;— what compost would not ? 



Markets for Yearling Cattle— J. Clark. -Barnstaple fair, 

 Devonshire, April 21, Sept. 19, for Devon ; Steyning fair. Sus- 

 sex, June 9, for Scotch cattle; Hereford fair, July 18, and Oct. 

 22, for Hereford; Abingdon fair, Berks, Au?. 5, Sept. 19, for 

 various breeds ; at Barnet fair, Herts, April 8, 9, 10, for Scots, 



or anything you wish. 



Markets.— Thanks for your suggestion, but we cannot at pre- 

 sent adopt it. 



Murrain.— Anonymous.— Your question will be answered if you 

 will inform us which you mean— that usually called •« the epi- 

 demic," which affects the feet and mouth; or the formidable 

 disease of the chest termed pleuro-pneumonia. 



No. of Acres for onk Man's Employment.— W. P. — Tt de- 

 pends on the soil. One man can manage with the spade, 8 or 

 10 acres of light soil. 



Pond-mud.— L. B. W.— Mangold Wurtzel and Cabbage will 

 grow luxuriantly on your land. You could hardly do better. 

 Apply wood-ashes to the land before sowing your grain crops, 

 in September for Wheat, and in March for Oats and Barley, 

 previous to harrowing before the drill. 40 bushels an acre 

 might then be applied. 



Productive Barley.— 0. M.— Your notice is an advertisement. 



Salt.— Agricola.— With the number of yards of ditch-scourings 

 you intend to put on an acre, mix 1 cwt. of salt. Do not 

 attempt to kill the weeds with that, lest in your success you 

 have to lament the death of more valuable plants also. The 

 hoe is the true remedy for weeds. 



Steeping Seeds.— We believe that Mr. Campbell sells a liquid 

 for Turnip seed. We shall be glad to hear your results. 



Steaming Apparatus.— A Subscriber.— Potatoes are almost the 

 only root generally steamed. Parsnips and Carrots are very 

 well, when steamed for pigs ; and Swedes are sometimes 

 steamed for cattle. We never advertise tradesmen; it would 

 subject us to stamp-duty. Most machine-makers manufacture 

 a steaming-apparatus. 



Swedes.— C. G. Sidy.— Though we have heard it often, yet we 

 do not know, if success attends general transplantation of 

 young plants instead of sowing; therefore we do not like to 

 advise. Try it on half an acre this year, and if it succeeds try 

 a larger extent next. It has the advantage of hindering at- 

 tacks of fly. &c. 



Tolls.— W. C. — We cannot advise our correspondent without 

 seeing the local Act regulating the tolls. If he will furnish us 

 with a copy of it we will endeavour to give him the information 

 which he requires. We believe that local Acts universally 

 provide that a person who has paid a toll shall not be liable to 

 a second on the same day, but the right to claim the exemption 

 in general depends on the wording of the particular Act.

 Our supply of Beef to day is very small, and there is an advance in the best 

 qualities of 2d per 8lbs- ; some few Short-horns have, perhaps, made 3s lOd per 

 8 lbs*, but cannot be quoted as a general pric**. The trade is still dull, but the 

 shortness of supply causes all to be sold off. The Mutton trade Is very heavy; 

 the best small Downs support our former quotation, large Downs are a slow 

 sale at a little less money, and Long-wools are fully 2d per 8 lb*, less than last 

 week. Veal trade is steady. Pork very heavy, and it must be superior quality 

 to make our highest quotation- 



Friday, March 1. 



Although we have a short supply to day, it is difficult to maintain Monday's 

 prices; there is, however, no quotable difference. T..e trade is remarkably 

 dull, the'deniand on a Friday being generally so very small through Lent. The 

 only briskness we can at all discover is in the Veal trade — the best quality being 

 scarce, they are readily sold at 5s per 8 lb Pork is lower.

POTATOES.— Solthwablk Watkrside, Feb.~26. 



Tnit weathnr during the past week has been much like the preceding one — 

 remarkable for its chanueableness. The market has been supplied from most 

 of the shipping distrw ts since our last Report, but by no means liberal, yet 

 fully equal to the present demand. The information received from most of the 

 principal shipping districts of the scarcity of Potatoes imparts firmness to 

 holders of the best samples, but it docs not induce the retailers to purchase 

 beyond their present wants ; they considering that there are plenty of Potatoes 

 left to supply this maikel, at the present languid demand, as the advance in 

 price has caused a decrease in the consumption.

WOOL.— British, Friday, March 1, 



Tn»RR has been hardly as much business doing inour market during the past 

 eek- Those parties who have been desirous of forcing sales have been obliged 

 to submit to a reduction in price, but, upon the whole, we think prices mny be 

 quoted the same a* last week. All parties are looking forward anxiously to the 

 approaching Wool Fair at Bristol, which will be held on the 6th and 7th March.

COVENT GARDEN", March 1.— Although the weather still 

 continues changeable, the Market is well supplied, and trade 

 begins to get a little brisker. Pine- apples have been more plen- 

 tiful during the week ; they are offered at nearly the same prices 

 as quoted in our last Report. Little alteration has taken place 

 in the prices of Grapes, which are still sufficient for the demand. 

 The supply of foreign Apples has been well kept up during; the 

 week; but English ones are scaice. Some good dessert Pears 

 are still offered; they bring nearly the same prices as last week. 

 Oranges are improving in quality, and arc very plentiful. 

 Lemons are offered at from Is. to 2s. per dozen; Chesnuts are 

 sellin " at nearly the same prices as last week. A few ripe 

 Stra\vberries are in the Market. Among vegetables Savoys are 

 becoming less plentiful. Brussels Sprouts are still selling 

 at nearly the same prices as mentioned in our last re- 

 port, as are also Greens, which are plentiful. Carrots and 

 Turnips continue to be pretty well supplied. Broccoli has beeu 

 more abundant during the week 3 a large white variety is selling 

 at from 8s. to 12s. per dozen. A slight alteration has taken 

 place in the price of French Beans; they are selling at from 

 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6tf. per 100. Asparagus, Seakale, and Rhubarb are 

 plentiful, and are offered at nearly the same prices as last week. 

 Celery is becoming scarcer. Cucumbers are a little reduced in 

 price. Cut Flowers chiefly consist of Combretum purpureum, 

 Erica Willmoreana, Burchellia capensis, Lachenalia tricolor, 

 Acacias, Azaleas, Pelargoniums, Camellias, Primulas, Moss, 

 Provence, and China Roses.
