At Taunton but little trade was effected. Warm showers

HARVEST PROSPECTS.
The well-planted wheat of Autumn, checked in their
luxuriance by • long, severe, but dry winter, are now
luxuriating in a three weeks release from the icy graso,
with most suitable moisture and heat, so that, on all well-
farmed wheat lands, especially the stiff sorts, there is the
spert of • full crop, awl probably not much, if at all,
behind the usual harvest time. If we escape late May and
June frosts, fruit and all other crops will probably give
satisfactory results.
On this farm there never was a better prospect, especially
on 02 &maid steam-ploughed wheat sown with one bushel
per acre. Steam cultivation is making its way rapidly in
Essex.
It is fortunate for the general welfare that only one-halt
the United Kingdom is in permanent pasture, for, judging
by information which I have received (min grass land
districts, the want of cattle food has been most severely
fat.
