MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT.—The feafon
has fill continued until-el:411y favourable for all the
different operations of hufbandry. The later wheat
crops have been put into the ground in the molt per-
feet manner in almoli every dillriCt of the kingdom,
where this fort of grain is cultivated. From the great
facility of preparing the land afforded by the finenefs
of the weather, very large quantities have been fown
in lime difirifts. The potatoe crops on being taken
up have not turned out well, except on the wetter
forts of foil. On the grafi lands much manure has
been applied in fome &arias ; as they bare afforded
a fine opportunity by their unufual drynefs.
The rains about the beginning of the month were
of great ferrite to the paftures, but there is fill
much want of water for live flock in different places.

The quantity of Grain which Rats and Mice de•
(troy is almoft incredible. From the calculations lately
laid before the Public by Sir James Wright, Bart. it
appears too evident, that "the damage done by there
wide-wafting devourers of Corn, amounts to no lets
than 800,000 bufhels annually, which is far more than
fufficient for feed to Cow the enfuing year's crop !"
The celebrated Dr. BLACK, Profeffor of Chemiltry in
the Univerfity of Edinburgh, and Phyfician to his
.Majelly for Scotland, fortunate* invented a Powder,
the efficacy of which, in anfwering the end required,
is not to be equalled in Europe—it is warranted in-
fallible: the application is fimple, the expenet trifling,
and the effect certain : what renders it Rill more va.
luable, is the fafety attending its ufe, as the Vermin
neither eat, drink, nor vomit after taking it, nor will
Cats eat of it, lintels Itarving pith hunger.—This
eel-Armed Rat Powder is fold in Packets, price ss.6d.

In thole ages when fimplicity of manners and re.
gulatity of living were the tefult of mankind's incli
nation, difeafe had made little progrefs on the race or
men ; perhaps it was from this carafe Scurvy had not
made its rapid prnrefs till about the time of Hippo
crates, whnfc aphorifms prove he knew the difeafe.
When Diu. xr, Anson, and Coots extended their
route is unexplored leas, their hiftories prove fuffici-
ently its fad eziftence.• The United Kingdoms of
Great Britain would teilify this fcourge on land with.,
oat fearching the hidory of campaigns. When ana-
tomy taught that the human body was capable of ab-
forption, they partialiyihnried the affiieed. The Lc-
. eels of this treatment gave the idea of a convict: an
tidote, and a vegetable and mineral preparation was
to be the remedy appropriated by medical experience.,
