MARCH. 



Wmt Scsnx, March 26.— We have now got near to the end of 

 March, when we usually have the fields assuming their cheerful 

 pta*, but this year every kind of vegetation is very backward ; 

 irl we find our Turnips disappearing rapidly and nothing 

 Ming to supply their place. The weather for the past few days 

 kas fcatn very cold, and the frost at night sharp, and Grass has 

 hardlv begun to change its dull wintry aspect, so that if a change 

 if milder weather does not soon come we shall hardly know 

 which wiy to turn. We must now put the sheep upon a limited 

 iDowance of Swedes, and make up with cake or other artificial 

 Mwith liay.and for the latter the consumption is unusually great 

 1 - this time of the year, for generally before this time they give 

 ap eating hay. On all sides we hear that the Swedes are rotting, 

 ia me case* more than half the crop ; and we shall now have an 

 unity of testing the merits of those sorts that are said to 

 any winter; for any that stand such a winter as we have 

 kid nay be depended upon for anv ordinary season. But there 

 Other circumstances to take into account. We find that the 

 lorta have stood well on some land, and given wav on 

 own; and generally, where the land was free of stones, they 

 bmitood best: perhaps the stones may have damaged them 

 wbeaaon^reased by the frost, while in the soft land they have 

 MMbniisedflomiich. But, on the whole, we do not think 

 mx note have been healthy at all ; for all stock has done 

 Dad y upon them from first to last. Tares and Rye have stood 

 «J**t do not come on fast ; and the young Clovers are ex- 

 WWTwaak, and make us doubt whether to leave them, or
