AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS,

The past week opened with a fine day, sunny and
cloudy at intervals, wind N.W. Monday morning
. was thick, but it held up, and there was no rain
until 9 p.m. ; wind round to the S.W. ; thermome-
. ter 43 degrees ; barometer 30.5 inches. A fair por-
tion of fieldwork was proceeded with, the seed going
into the ground well on all but the very heavy soils,
Tuesday was a fine morning, but a heavy spring
shower was experienced at 11 a.m., when it took up
and was fine all the remainder of the day, with a
brisk wind at IV.S.W. ; thermometer 51 deg. ;
barometer 30.10 inches. This improvement in the
temperature will be serviceable, although the usual
March winds would have proved more generally ac-
ceptable. Our advices on that day from Northum-
berland stated that " the weather had continued fine
to the close of the past week, with the wind from
the N.E. Since then it has been damp, the wind
varying from the SE. to the S.W." From Suffolk
it was remarked, " Barley sowing has been going
on satisfactorily, but has come to a check, owing to
wet weather. Thus far the seed has been deposited
in good order." Wednesday was warm and spring
like ; wind W.S.W. ; thermometer up to 58 deg. at

" Weather very mild, and this afternoon wet."
Another account says, "We have had a complete
change in the weather during the past week, the
temperature being now mild and spring-like."
Thursday was a fine and cheerful day, warm and
spring-like ; wind W. ; thermometer 52 deg., baro-
meter 30.05 inches. From .Suffolk our advices
1 stated, " The weather has varied, and during the
last few days has been mild and spring-like; sow-
ing has been carried on pretty regularly." From
delayed, which

Surrey we were advised that " the weather was dry
favoursowingof has been much
hicThhthe crop ; gene-
rally early sowing of spring grain proves most
beneficial. Wheat is looking very healthy ; the
growth of the plant has been much kept backby the
weather, which I do not think unfavourable." From
Warwickshire it was remarked : " Weather con-
tinued cold and stormy up to the close of last week,
but we have since had the temperature many de-
grees milder, and farmers will now be enabled to
proceed more rapidly with spring sowing." Friday
was the finest day of all the month, sunny and
warm, and had it been a working day spring til-
lage would have progressed extensively ; but, being
Good Friday, the labourers had a holiday, and a
cessation from this work. Our advices from Lin-
colnshire stated :—" We have now fine growing
weather, but the low lands and heavy soils are not
sufficiently dry for sowing at present. Turnips are
nearly finished, so that the bulk of the barley will
be put up in the ground at a seasonable time, for
sometimes when turnips are plentiful seed time is
delayed too long. Wheat looks almost without ex-
ception well and thick enough. The cattle plague
is dreadful about here ; a friend of mine has buried
seventy beasts." From the East Riding of York-
shire on the same day it was stated :—" The wea-
ther has become warmer during the last day or two,
and out-door work is progressing satisfactorily."
A thorough change took place on Saturday morn-
ing, the wind having got round to the north-east.
Rain set in, and much fell during the day, which
was the more unfortunate, as the previous beautiful
day had dried-the land a good deal, and had it con-
( tinned fine a great breadth of land would have
been finished. Stilkon the whole, during the past
week a fair extent of ground had been planted in
tolerably good order. The month of March is now
. closing, and it has been
an anxious time for the
iso cheering
farmer In many respects—not,
however,
as might have been, the cattle plague being yet one
troubles. That seed
