 this subject, vre have simply to state that Mr. Watsons 

 address is 81, ithode street, Halifax. , 



Talz Ale : A Correspondent say-, he would be much obliged 

 if any of our readers would be kind enough to give him a 

 recti* for making pale ale from sugar, as recommended by 

 Mr. Donovan, in his " Domestic Economy." 



Pigs: J Dolwell. The bailed Swedes, Beans, and Barley will 

 make better bacon, and probably make it as fast as if a 

 portion of 'he fcrain were replaced by Linseed. 



tfocLTir : Georpims, We must refer yon for dealers to out 



advertising columns* . , , 



Beapino Machine: AgrxcoU Many suchmacmnes have been 

 invented. You probably allude to the one acting on the 

 prin.-ipte of the shears, invented by the Rev. P. Bell, of 

 Carmjl e, in Forfarehire, w2 h was worked in 1827, and was 

 reward* by a pri*e of 501. from the Highland Society. 



Water from Steamed Roots : Sigma. We have used the 

 water from Renaming Mangold Wuizel for throwing over 

 the straw eb*ff*riv n to catcJe, and have no douot that the 

 Same from Swedish Turnips will be equally harmless. 



"Wheat: Caradoc. In circumstances tending to a bulky 

 frout.'i of ftraw, vou should choose kinds that grow a short 

 straw, such as * r Piper's Thickset." 



Yeast : One of our correspondents inquired for the best means 

 of getting the bitter out of yeast. T W T s Cheshire, says : 

 "The f owing plan has been trifd with success in my 

 family for several years. For every pound of yeast put a 

 handful of brao. into a sieve, and run the yeast through it."

SMITHFIELD, Monday, Dec. 15. 

 ^ As is usual on the Great Market Day, we have a good collec- 

 tion of fat Beasts; the number, li»wever, is not so large as 

 exhibited last year. The general quality is very choice ; trade 

 is slow, and prices are by no means good. The supply of'Sheep 

 is small. Big Sheep are no*; so much in request as on former 

 occasions, but those of moderate size are soiling well. There 

 are a few choice Calves ; there is not much demand, but owing 

 to shortness of supply they are dearer. From Holland an.i 

 Germany there are 544: Beasts, 2470 Sheep, and 24 Calves- 

 from France, '220 Sheep and 13 Calves; from Scoland 350 

 Beasts ; from Norfolk and Suffolk, 400 ; and 3200 from Leicester, 

 Northampton, and Lincoln.

Friday, Dec 19, 

 We have (the day considered) a very moderate suoply of 

 Beasts. There isce tainly this year a considerable denoiencv 

 in the weightof meat sent to this market. The average qualify 

 is good— not too fat. There is a numerous attendance of 

 buyers, and prices generally are better than on Monday. We 

 have very few Sheep on offer ; trade is brisk at a small ad- 

 vance. The number of Calves is large, but choice o&ae are 

 scarce, consequen'ly the best qualities are readily sold at an 

 advance of nearly 4d. per 8 lbs. ; middling ones are very low. 

 From Germany and Holland we have 112 Beasts, 360 sheep" 

 and 189 Calves; from Spain, 20 Sheep; from Norfolk, 200 

 Beasts ; from the northern and midland counties, 500 • and 

 118 Milch Cows from the home counties.

MARK LANK. 



Monday, Dec. lo.-The supply of English Wheat by land 

 carnage samples to this morning's market was small, and, 

 with the exception of a few picked sample*, was sold at a 

 dechne of Is per qr. upon the prices of thin day se'nnieht 

 being generally out of condition. The demand for foreWn 

 continues to be most trifling but its value is fully supported.- 



?ha U . r ^ sl T« a, f' bat there is some inquiry for birrels.- 

 The supply of Barley increases, and the trade is dull with a 

 tendency to a dechne in prices.-Beans and Hog Peas are the 

 turn cheaper. W e reduce our quotations on White Peas ls 

 to 2s. per qr.-Oats are a slow sale at a reduction of 6d. ner 

 qr. from the rates of last Monday. P
