Grass seeds are scarce and high, and it will be 
an object for farmers to secure as large a supply 
as possible from such resources as they have at 
hand. 
Beef cattle have been varied somewhat; the 
average of all sales this week was 9ic.<S>9£c. ^ 
ft. net, against 9c.'®9£c. November 21st. 
Apples are abundant, with only a slight advance, 
say 25c. per bushel, during the month. 
Potatoes have scarcely changed during the 
month; the continued warm weather and large 
supplies keep prices very low. Carters are now 
wholesaled for $ 1 50<®$1 75 per bbl.; Mercers for 
$1 62®$1 87. Onions—Reds, $1 75 i®$ 1 87 per 
bbl.; White, $1 75®$2 50. 
Other articles of seasonable produce are sta¬ 
tionary in price. 
The Weather has been unusually mild and 
pleasant during nearly the whole month. With 
the exception of a few inches fall on the 13th inst, 
we have had scarcely any snow up to this date. 
It is a remarkable fact that during the whole of 
December, previous to Christmas, the soil has 
hardly been frozen sufficiently to impede plowing 
during the middle of the day, and the ground has 
not been hard enough to bear one except for an 
hour or two, on two or three mornings. Not a 
bit of skating has been practicable in this vicinity. 
We had on the 27th, a cold change, which still 
continues, though an over coat is scarcely needed 
at mid-day.

PREMIUM LISTS FOR 1856, 
to our large collection of Agricultural Books, which are pecul¬ 
iarly adapted for Premiums. 
The awarding of Agricultural Books in the place of small 
Money Premiums has been extensively adopted, and has given 
the highest satisfaction. 
advantages of this plan. 
It promotes the dissemination of much needed information 
among Farmers. 
It combines the advantages of a Diploma with a Premium of 
intrinsic value. 
It substitutes a Permanent and Expressive Token of Honor 
for the pittance which is frequently humiliating to the recipient. 
It avoids the fostering of a mercenary spirit among competit¬ 
ors, and better comports with* the dignity of an honorable emu¬ 
lation between friends and neighbors. 
We will take pleasure in furnishing, to applicants, a Cata¬ 
logue of our Publications, which we consider most appropriate 
for the use of Agricultural Societies for Premiums, on which a 
liberal discount will be given.

T HE ATTENTION OF FARMERS 7s 
requested to a new FERTILIZER, prepared from the 
night soil collected from the sinks and privies of New-York 
city, by the LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY, and 
manufactured without any adulteration whatever, into a pow¬ 
erful manure-something like guano, but less caustic and less 
exhausting to the soil. It is called 
T A F E U, 
from the Chinese word signifying prepared night soil, and is the 
only article of the kind ever manufactured in this country. It. 
is warranted to be 95 per cent pure night soil; and from its 
ease of transportation and application, and the small quantity 
required to produce the same result as heavier manures, it is 
the CHEAPEST MANURE ever offered for sale. For grass in 
the fall, for winter grain, or for garden vegetables, it has no 
equal. 
From 300 to 600 lbs. per acre is all the dressing required for 
the poorest soils. A lair trial in competition with other ma¬ 
nures is respectfully asked. Packed in barrels of 240lbs., or bags 
of 125 lbs. J ice $35 per tun, or l\ cts. per lb., delivered free of 
cartage out* .ird of vessels or railroads inthe city of New-York.
