MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL' REPORT

The early part of this month was f able for the con
elusion of hirveat, awl flow who had 'patience to wait that
event, succeeded in getting op their Nana, Mark, racism, Ike.
in good coed, . The IA crops of clover aced were aloe
well gut sus.. The second !reps, however., • are 'still oat, and
those that are mown are PO materially injured, as to be
of but little value for either seed or stover. From the great
diversity of weather through this mouth, abort Werewolf only
have proved congenial for wheat sownsg, the early part hay-
lag been much tun dry, the middle cold and unkindly f.or
the droppers, and the latter end an wet that this buoiness has
in many places been totally seirpended, and mtich will he de.
ferret till spring, when else talaveriat stock is strortly to be
recommended. The letter part of Febrnsry, or early in
'March, is the best time fur pestling it in, awl 17 whiptisie
Ilia system, all the arks ■nd disadvantages lint attend the
crop sown lite in autuino are avoided; besides which, we
lave seen numerous instances where the vopteriority of ilia
grain, both in product suit ipiality, have been manifest. The
':•truips are partially improving in bulk ; but there arc groat
failures in ■ considerable breadth of this county. The
new layers have, iii natty places, been destroyed by
the Lod corn, and we recommend such spot• to be
planted with vetches in March. Barley casts fairly,
rind the greater part 'is of good malting quality
*Wheat varies in sample to the extremes; heavy coot-
' plaints are made in must sista, with respect to its yield-
mg, and in quote place, the produce is of but I,llle value.
Yur markets are crowded with sheep and cattle, and not-
withstanding that they are offered on lower terms loot fe:w
males are ale-etc& 11 will need des mare than the experieriCe
of a few market days to show the neressreous ■resection of a
great port 1111 l of the agriculturists. The prices of corn have
lately appeared to be regulated by what the merchanto, ma-
nufartur'rs, and consumers think proper to give for it ; Poo
abundant has been the yetantily furred upon them, that their
only necessary precaution is nut to buy too Mitch of it.
The heavy and numerous demands on the farmer between
harvest auil the folios/nig Christmas, are so great, that !with
the present prices) the whole crop is, in numerous instances,
disposed of rn she first three months, and insufficient to
meet them ; contequeutly they cannot avail thensselvis oT
any better in irkeis that may occur during the remaining
nine. This great and minuets evil, however, might be con.
side^.•ahly alleviated, were a portion of these heavy psymehts
removed to a more COuVrnielit season; the markets would
th---si be more regularly supplied, and the stover, which
must now become stale, and of little value but fur manure,
could be good food, and beneficially consumed by cattle.
