AGRICULTURAL MONTHLY REPORT for APRIL
Cold winds, anti frequent atmospheric vicissitudes, have ren-
dered the present a late and ungenial season. The state of the
weather has been particularly fatal to the aged and the invalid;
and the flocks and herds have had their share of suffering.
Both fattening and store stock have been hitherto very back-
ward in proof ; and the ewes and lambs in the north and west,
and even in districts more favourably situated, have suffered
greatly. The fall of lambs was a full average, as to number
and size ; hut many petished under the inclemency of the sea-
son, and far more dwindled away, starved from want of milk.
No grass followed the turnips, which were destroyed by the
frost. The difficulties of the season, however great, have been
surmounted : the weather has been more favourable of late,
leaving the soil in a fine friable state; and sowing the spring
corn, pulse, and seed crops, is nearly finished; barley being the
latest. Potatoe-planting has commenced, and the turnip lands
are likely to be in fine order. Hoeing, and rolling the wheats,
have been successfully performed. Wheat, fortunately, is a
hardy plant ; the general appearance of the crop is good; and,
under favourable auspices, may prove highly productive, to
which thinness of plant in early spring is not always a bar, per-
haps more often an advantage.
