MONTHLY REPORT FOR JANUARY.

The long continuance of frost, which seems t 0.7.
make up for its absence hi so many seasons past; so-
has eqnally impeded the business of the field and tz,,-
the markets. The chief operations in the countrx:,,4., ,
have been confined to the built; to carting, and to ;i..
artendanee upon live. stock. The general demaihir4
of fodder for cattle, aod the necessity of finding
employment for the labourers, rather titan any -4:7k4
encouragen from the markets, have kept the ,r,
flails and threshing machines going. ' It is a sub- ti;.,
,legit of universal observeion,,how different thq.",:,
appearance of the wheat crop at present, and at rifti;
the saute period of last season. In the back- :.,...,
wart) districts,' the wheat has scarcely made its
a ,
''
appearance above•gront
, and all the late sown 6,
is extremely backward. The late warm sea- 4
sons wonderfolly increased the breed of all the .;./i
feathered trihe, and of vermin of all descriptions ; ‘i..!;‘
and the wheats, whilst uncovered; by snow, were A
greatly infested by vast fbicks of crows ; whilst f'd
~,
the siack• yards . have been equally anuoyed k,
by uncomthbn .multitudes of siartingmall s birds. r:,.„
One of the, great advanta;:es of fioss a c'oat'oCT,i,

conclusions are allowable. they most be infavour '
of a crop, more especially' upon land in a clean
and husbandhke state.
