AGRICULTURE, &c.

MONTHLY REPORT FOR OCTOBER.--harvest,
with few exceptions, may now be deemed at an
end. Little of novelty has occurred in the past
month. The wheat-crop, on good soils and situa-
tions, is undoubtedly large, both in England and
Scotland, yet considerably below the weight and
quality of the old wheat ; in most other parts,
light and coarse, and from the difficulties of the
season, generally harvested in indifferent order.
On the whole, as we have held throughout, al-
though there will be no want of wheat, neither
the quantity nor quality are probable to realize
the splendid promises held out by the public
prints. Barley is a great, but not a fine crop.—
Oats and Beans have far exceeded expectation.
Pease are good on some of the warmest and best
soils, in general a poor crop and badly harvested.
Tares and seeds have not succeeded. Turnips
have improved. Potatoes are a great and suffi-
cient crop, though partially injured in late ex-
posed situations. All kinds of live stock are in
the utmost plenty, but good hay very short in
quantity. Wheat sowing, in forward lands, has
been successfully got through, but the tilthes not
generally clean. In the extremities of the island,
this important process will be very late. Seasons
of the present description are always peculiarly
unfavourable to the farmers of poor laud and
exposed districts.
