MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. == °° : 
HE early sown wheats, both in the: northern and southern districts of the kingdom, 
have in general a pretty favourable appearance, and in some places they are remarkably 
strong and vigorous, being perhaps 1 in too forward a state of growth for the. season 3. but those 
which were put into the ground at a later period, have hy no means so healthy an aspect 5 
being besides, in many instances very thin, and straggling upon the ground so as not to 
cover it well.. This we find to be particularly the case in some parts of Surrey, and on the 
borders of Sussex, as well as in sume places in Middlesex. The sudden alterations of 
frost and thaw have had an unfavourable effect a them in cae! different situations, 
while in some they have stood them. well. ‘ CMe ee 
The same causes have likewise done much injury to the Gove) at a time when’ this 
and other similar sorts of seed are scarce to an unusual degree at this season. 
Winter tares have also suftered greatly in the same way, from the want of being covered 
by snow, in consequence of their having attained a too luxuriant state ‘of aroyith during the 
autumn from its being so mild and open. a 
The turnips, from their being in..most instanees spwn.at a late period, have only in, 
particular situations reached any .tolerable size, consequently have not .by any. means 
afforded that full supply of fuod for.live stock which. the. farmer might expect. Besides, 
In some more exposed situations, the- sharp cutting frosty nights, and sudden thaws, have, 
had such an effect as to render them’ rotten, especially where the. less hardy sorts had been 
injudiciously sown. In particular cases they have however.turned out more abundant than ~- 
was supposed at the usual season of letting them, as about the beginning of. November. 
The winter pastures and rouens, or preserved. grasses, scarcely in apy season presented 
a more deficient supply of feed for animals than in the ppesenta, We which will most probably 
be severely felt in the spring months. 
The very sharp frosty, nights have been very pre jadicial . to the, arabe. which have been 
dropt the latter end. of the preceding, and during,the, present,, month, ,many having. been. 
destroyed by .the PIEODE: cold frosty. winds, and Auden. rains, Py. which they have. been : 
followed. 
From the same causes edn fed cattle have not in many cases. ‘gone. on 50. well as! is us 
at tl\is season. 
The prices of neither fat nor lean stock seem: to have advanced since our last.
