OCTOBER AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR-I*On
CESTER, STAFFORD AND SALOP, 1825•

The weather during the present month has
been the most favourable for the farmer that we,
have experienced for some years, and has enabled
him to till his ground and get in his seed tinder
the most pleasing auspices ; we never saw the
land work finer or more mellow; the drying

state of the atmosphere has enabled him to com-
plete his latter harvest of late wheat and beans
in fine order. The life of the farmer is one con-
tinued round of labour, and when he is favoured.
by Providence with such delightful weather as
the. past month, the business of liming, dunging,
&:c. goes on with great comfort. It is pleating to
see the alteration which the pressure of the times
(from the low price of produce) has made in the
general system of Agriculture; the land is now
got in better tythe, is kept freer from vreedss
and enriched by the judicious savings of the
farm-yard sock, which some years back used to
be permitted to run down the lanes and gutters;
but now the farmers, taking a lesson from ex,
perience, either carry it direct upon the grass
lands or mix it with ashes, earth, or other sub-
stances, thus enabling their land to produce
double on the amount of crops, and giving an or
portunity to meet the decrease of price. 4--'
The stock of sheep and neat cattle is verY
abundant, and as the supply of sheep is like-
wise at present plentiful they are not 'likely
to decline much in value until the spring, when,
we apprehend, that from the great deficient,' of
good hay and the small size of the turnips, they
will experience a depression.—The new %%hest;
barley, and oats, come to hand fine, weighty, and
in good condition and colour. The geheill
threshing has not yet commenced ; but we think
those farmers have acted wisely who have got.
their stock to market at the present prices, as
they can scarely doubt but that when the new
grain is brought to sale a decline must of neces-
sity ensue. The dry season enables the
farther
to give a top dressing to grass, lucern, and saint-
loin, to the greatest advantage, securing an abun-
daut and early spring crop when Mostwanteas
in the month of March. The carrot ha's beencultivated this year by several intelligent far-
mers with great success, upon light and sitar
soils, and will from some parts produce from .
6 ton per acre, of most rich and nutritious Wiz
for working horses and mulch cows ; this valuable
root is not sufficiently attended to. The top
into
ing this month should be cut off and brought intro
the fold, which greatly increases the milk of the
cows, and leaves the root to be stacked for win-
ter consumption; indeed, we have seen instancis
where the top has been cut without apparentlr
njuring the valuable root.

According to a Bavarian Newspaper, the ntinl''
ber of legitimate children born at Wurzburgh,
the month of August, was 30, while the number
of illegitimates, in the same month, was 44! e'he
morals of the Wurzburghers seem to be in IL.
thriving way.
An English Gentleman being taken ill of the
yellow fever at Jamaica, a lady who had martse:if
on that Island, indirectly hinted to him, is tee
presence or an Irish physician that attended hitn,
the propriety of making his will in a country
where people were so apt to die. The physician
thinking his judgment called in question, Waif
replied, " Faith, Madam, INs vou would (ill
me that country where people do not die, 110
would go and end my days there."
