AGRICULTURE, &c•

MONTHLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER.—Our latest
crop, the potatoe,.has been universally harvested
and stored, fully justifying the predictions as to
quantity and quality. The quantity of this admi-
rable American root at present cultivated in Bri-
tain and Ireland, compared with the growth of
half a century since, may be stated as more than
15 to one. From the continuance of the drought
throughout September the wheat-seed season
was somewhat late, but the warm and genial
rains of the present month enabled the farmer
to complete it in the best manner ; the' young
wheats are every, where above ground, and, upou
warm and fruitful soils, make a beautiful and
luxuriant appearance. The warm showers have
greatly improved the turnips ; and, upon fine
light lands, some winter roots have been sown,
with other green crops for spring cattle food.
Much is not reported of the carrot crop, but we
believe it to be good, affording an opportunity to
those who judiciously allow that most wholesome
diet to their horses, as a substitute for part of
.their corn.
