MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
The country occupations at present are hedging and ditc'hing, draining,
threshing, manuring, &c. From the extreme mildness of the season,
very little stock as yet has been taken into the straw-yards, whilst both
lands and yards, in low and undrained situations, are in a wet and poachy
state, not the most salubrious for cattle.
Wheat looks particularly lhattlier and well, perhaps too forward and
bulky on some soils. In Norfolk, where very thick sowing has of late
years become the fashion, the land in some parts is covered with such
a burden of plant, as to attract the attention of strangers. Rye, tares,
winter barley, and all cattle food, wear a most luxuriant appearance.
The green of the meadows is of the beautiful hue of spring, aod, as bas
been before observed, the quality of autumnal grass wks never better
than during the present season. furnipa 'and. cabbage equally good and
plentiful. Potatoes continue to rise of god quality. Hops of the first
quality advanced in price, but the general sample coarse. The wool
trade remains as usual dull, excepting for fine clothing wool. No re.

intelligence from the Continent states, that the blight and mildew were
universal throughout, and that prices have risen in consequence. In Ire-
land. the wheat is said to have escaped with the least injury. Siniuld
any economical measures be thoteent necessary, to eke eut the stoe.t

with all possible speed. It k supposed, that wha:ever supplies of wheal

In consequence of a recent decision in the Court of Teieds (or
Ty:hes) in Edinbtirgh, none of the Established Clergy of Scotland will
have a smaller stipend than 1.501. sterling, and 81. 6s. Bd. for commu-
nion elements, besides a manse and glebe in the country parishes.
An important fact has transpired from an eminent Norfolk grazier,
respecting the Swedish turnip. After saving some part of his crop f..r
seed, on pulling up the roots or apples to throw away, he discovered
they were sound and nutricious, and notwithstanding the time of the
ear, when the seed was gathering, his horses and other cattle fed on
them with the greatest avidity. l'hls circumstance deserves serious
consideration and trial. As does also the Mange! Wurzel or Sugar
Beet, a root of great value, and which has been prod

whole stock of corn, consisting of wheat, barley, oats, pease a ,and all his

cows were sawed with great difficulty, and four were burnt. The dwel-
ling-house narrowly escaped. F.om thence the electric fluid passed by
kiahits, over Tyn y Bally, without doing any damage, but struck a new
farm-house, called Ty Cam. It knocked down the chimney into the
