AGRICULTURE, &c.

SECOND MONTHLY REPoRT.—Bean planting ifs
generally finished, and that of potatoes commenced, arid of
sowing oats, the lands of all good farmers being in an excel-
lent state of preparatinn for the usual Spring crops. The wheats look well, and not too rank in the 'grass, ill&
mildness and moisture of the season considered : all the win-
ter cattle crops appear promising, and considerable quanfi-
ties of turnips yet remain unconsumed, the Swedish parti-
cularly in a good and sound state. Many of the cleared turnip grouiels are seeding with wheat upon light soils,
stead of the usual crop, barley, upon the supposition that
-barley will decline in price froth the stoppige of the distil..
!cries. Autumnal wheat chiefly is sown. Some of the Herts farmers are using linseed cake, as a top dressing fok their lands, at the expence of 141. [4s. per thousand.-
The -delivery of corn from Norfolk, particularly of bailey,
is said to have been SO'free, that fewer stacks are there to-be
seen at this time than in former years have been counted tit
the last week of April. The general stock in the country is.
yet by no means so short as was at first apprehended. There
are large stacks of wheat, and of all grain, on hand ; indeed,
the very extensive breed of pigs is in itself a confirmation-of
the existence of a considerable quantity of corii in the coun-
try. It is averred, there was more wheat on a late market driy
at Romford, in Essex, than ever belt); e known at this season
of the year. Prices howeverl'and-the fact that a fine sample
of old white wheat is flow worth Gl. ios. per quarter in Mark
Lane, and that coosurription is yet- in its infancy, are most
powerful arguments for radcal measures with-respect to our
waste lands, the trifling with which may be attended -with
perilous and unlooked-for dads.
Fat cattle are dearer, lean remain as before. Pigs in great
plenty, and larger quantities 01 hogs'than have been know)h
for sonic years ; in carcases all sons cheaper.. A general rot.,
in sheep, from the mildness and humility of the -autuitin
and, winter, and the lambing attended with but indifkrent
success. Good horses excessive dear, which consideration,
and that of their expensive keep-, have induced some of the
Norfolk farmers to substitute oxen for the plough—a. cir-
cumstance probable to operate materially in favour of hY-
labour, since, Norfolk is one of the last counties in which
such a change might be supposed likely to •prev.4ll.
