1822] Register.-Meteorological Table. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill. N.B. The Observations are made twice every day, at nine o'clock forenoon and four o'clock afternoon.-The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. Average of Rain, 4.186 inches. AGRICULTURAL REPORT. SINCE the date of our last, rains have been frequent and copious, though by no means regular. The extremely dry state of the soil, about the middle of last month, rendered the effects of ordinary showers imperceptible; but the amount that has fallen in many places, since the 18th of July, exceeds five inches, so that, in general, the ground is now tolerably moist. These rains, however, came too late for the major part of the crop; the only parts that were much benefited were late-sown harley, a few late varieties of oats, turnips, potatoes, cutting-grass, and pasture.Wheat, early oats, and barley, were too far advanced to receive any advantage from the rain. After the soil became saturated, the consequent evaporation that took place produced a cold temperature near the earth's surface; on the last day of July the mercury in the thermometer fell as low as 420, at ten P. M.; since that period, it has gradually become more elevated, and now ranges from 550 to 68°. In the lower districts, shearing commenced partially about the beginning of the present month, and a considerable breadth of wheat, pease, &c. is now cut down.Wheat, though shorter than usual in the straw, is sound in the ear, and will reach an ordinary average crop. The extra breadth under that species of grain, in consequence of the partial failure of the last turnip crop, and the mildness of last Winter, Late-sown barley will likely produce a glut in the wheat market, which may oblige the dealers in foreign grain to keep their bonded wheat on hand another season. has improved considerably, but still the barley crop is sadly deficient; and it would not be surprising to see the fiars price of barley, for next season, as high, or even higher, than the price of wheat. Oats are, in many instances, something deficient. On several farms, where sales have been effected by outgoing tenants, whole fields of oats, consisting of from ten to twenty acres, have been sold by auction at ten shillings per acre-not much more than half the price of the seed;-upon the whole, the oat crop will be something below an average, and sadly deficient in bulk. The congequent scarcity of fodder will reduce the price of cattle (already low) at the Autumn fairs, unless an unexpected demand arrives from the South. Fallows are in good condition for receiving the seed-furrow; potatoe-grounds have been well cleaned, and the produce is likely to be abundant. Perthshire, 13th August 1822. VOL XI.
