. The wheats in several counties, andspartieularly in
sortie 'parts of Norfolk, do not look so well as they
did. In-the Western part of,the:latter country,
I.k three hundred acres harp been :ploughed. up since
April ; and so many of thcse which remain, haVe
such an untavonrable aspect, , gives the farmer
great reason, to
_suppose he will not' reap more than
two-thirds of aterdp. The later sown hailer; sta`nd
greatly in need of 'rain, as do those ktaCty 'deposited ;.
but onlight lands, the tormer,more esp,cialy, roust
staffer. The beans look well, and in general are
very clean. The pea crop has exhibited a Most
promi.sing appearance. till within . these fe.w days,
when .the ap4ides; or lice, Made their appearance,
"and beginning their predittory attacks, occasioned
Anucb alarm, tealint the dry weather sbould continue.
If this be the case, the utlity df _Mr. Paul's machine,
to catch them, cannot be too, highly reCeinmendeti,
that having in a few hours, caught the astonishing
quantity of fourteen-stone weight, fourteen pounds
to the stone, thus.; saving the' crop. The talloWs
have worked remarkably well, the season having
been most favourable for that purpose, and particu-
larly for carting manure. Here We consider it our
duty, to call the attention of our agricultural readers
• to the machine invented by Mr. I3lyth, of Norwich,'
to drill horse manure, deposit the seed, and cover it
with fresh earth at the same time. Turnip-sowing
has geperally commenced, 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 inundated fens the nielanelTly prospect
which so long pi evailed is altering !or the better ; and
now theie are hopes that some hundred acres in the
isle of kly may be brought.into cultivation for a crop
next year. The lakers of clover and sainifoiu have
generally been cut, and are in excellent order ior
stacking. The former is a good swaith, except on
very light lands, where they languished for want of
moisture. The latter being enabled to • endurv.

dcotight, and flourishing more on dry 'soils, is pro-
portionably better. Ii ought ,to be particularly noted
that saintloiu should be, gathered in small cocks as

immediately after the scythe as the weather will per-
mit, being then a superior quality : but when it
lies on the grounas:Without beino- so heaped, exposed
to the wind 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 Win the wring,
from the • 101 h of March to the 10th of May, although
shut up' only six weeks for 'mowing) piotnise the
most abundant crop, some of which are estimated at
not less thrttl trot, t..eo to three, and three and a half
tons per acre. The criOst'prevailing. grasses, and
which are the best, being the -rc.,.ign and smooth-
stalked meadow-grass.—The cattle markets have
beeri very high, not only for prime beef and tat mut-
ton, but also for halt-fat stock. However, the stall-
fed cattle being now slaughtered, and grass beasts•
getting to market, the prices may' be Said to be
somewhat lower. Stock has been selling from
6d. to 6s. per.stone, the early part of the month
but now they are declined in value, and do nut
fetch more than from ad. to .ss. gd. Col. Curl-
,
ningliarn,AKl4O last year offered to supply, from the
Horne,-the southern-counties with Scotch cattle, on
• ecKnroission, then received many orders from take
hest graziers; and he hAs executed his comoiissioes
so sa:',Aac.torily, tn.it ltis orderi this season have been.
ipirztupiud Wool dOes not appeelr to sbe worth
_quite „so mesh money a;id althoUgh South Down
has been quoted as Ingo as four gLineas per t,,d, yet
we cannot trace the asslhiett, to any foundation.--
A little reduciton, we think, may have• taken-
tor, the purchasers will not give so 'much money ;,
but since clipping, so few.purchases have been matte,
„that probably no standard price t. itl be declared till
after some- of the great wool fairs, a few weeks
-hence. The corn markets have fallen. " Wheat has
declined, and is a very dull trade. Good barley is
• scarce, but yet 'the prices are not higher, although
thetrade is a little brisker. Beans continue steady.
Oats also are a heavy sale, and lbvver. Turnip
seed is selling at from 20s. to'3ss. per bushel. The
Swedish turnip is much approved indeed it was
stated by Mr. Lindley, at the Holkham sheep-shear-
ing, that in Norfolk he had sold sufficient seed for
600 acres,. and.3oo in Bedfordshire ; and so general-
ly was this valuable root -coininq into cultivation,
that the seed had obtained 7s. per pound. Messrs.
Mackie, of Norwich, likewise have sold great quan-
tities. It is the opin7,on of an excellent practical
farmer, that one of the Most certauf inethoth or se-
curing a turnip crop trom the ,tiy, is to sow horn sot
to seven pints per .acre, atreiding a greater abund-
ance of food tor them, and thus leavlng more plants
