fourteen pounds to the stone, thussaving the crop. The follows
have worked remarkably well, the season having been most fa-
youra ble for that purpose, ancl particularly far carting manure.
Here we consider it our duty to call the attention of onr Agri-
cultural readers, to the machine ioventeti by Mr. B 1 hof Nor.
rich, to drill !torsi-manure, deposit the seed and cover it with
fresh earth at the same time. Turnip-son iug has gen,-eally com-
menced, and in many parts the crop already begins to appear.—
Potatoes- look. as well as were ever remembered ; as do carrots.
In some parts of the iruudated fens the melancholy prospect
which so long pri!vailed is altering- for the better; and now
there are hopes that some hundred acres in the Isle of Lly may
he brought into cultivation for a crop next year. The layers
of clover and saintfoin have generally been cut, and ;Ire in ak-
cellent order for stacking. The former is a good swaith, except
on very light lands, where they languished for want of mois-
ture. The latter being enabled to endure drought, and flourish-
ing more on dry soils, is proportionahly better. It ought to he,
particularly noted that saintfoin should he gathered in smoll
cocks as immediately after the scythe as the weather vat ill per,
mit, being then of a superior quality but when it lies on the
ground without being so heaped, exposed to the %%hid and the
sun, the leaf crumbles off, the juicy and nutritive quality of the
plant exudes and thereby loses its greatest value. The grass in
the water-meads (many of which were fed in the spring, from
the 10th of March to the 10th of May, although shut op only
six weeks for mowing-) promise the most abundant crops, some
of which are estimated at not less than two or three, and three
and a half tons per acre. The most prevailing grasses, and
which are the best, being the rough and smooth-stalked meadow
grass. The cattle markets have been very high, not only for
prime beef and fat mutton, bin also for half-fat stock. Ilnu
ever, the stall-fed cattle being now slaughtered, and grass beasts
getting to market, the prices may he said to he somewhat 1011er.
Col. Cunningham, who last year offered to supply, from the north,
the southern counties with Scotch cattle, on commission, then re-
ceived many orders from the hest graziers; and he has executed
his commissions so satisfactorily, that his orders this season have
been quintupled. Wool does not appear to be worth quite so
much money ; and although South Down has been quoted as
high as four guineas per tod, yet we cannot trace the assertion
to any good foundation. A little reduction, we think, may have
taken place, for the purchaser: will not give so much money :
hut since clipping'", so few purchases have been made, that pro.
bably no standard price will be declared till after sonic of the
great wool fairs, a few weeks hence. The corn mark rti have
fallen. Wheat has declined, and is a very dull trade. Good
barley is scarce, hut yet the prices are not higher, although the
trade is a little hri*ker. deans coutinoe steady. Oats also are
a heavy sale, and lower. Turnip seed is selling- at from VOs. to
335. per bushel. The Swedish tornip is much approved ;
deed it was stated by Mr. I.indley, at tho Holk ham Sheep-
' Shearing, that in Norfolk he lutd sold ;ntlielent seed for 6.10
acres, and 300 in Bedfordshire ; and so generally Iyas this 'valu-
able root coming into cultivation, that the seed had obtained 7s.
per pound. Messrs. Mackie, of Norwich, lik, w ice have sold
great quantities. It is the opinion of an excellent practical
fanner, that one of the nr,t certain methods of securing a tut-
; nip crop from the fly, is to sow from six to seven piths per acre,
affording a greater abundance of food for them) and thus learing
more plants for the hoe.
