N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, namely, at eight o'clock in the morning, and eight o'clock in the evening. The morning observations in the first column are made on the Register Ther FROM the 15th to the 22d of last month, the frost was more intense than it had been at any former period throughout the winter. The thermometer often fell four degrees below zero, and this frost was accompanied with loud drifting winds, and heavy falls of snow. On the 23d the storm was succeeded by a gentle thaw. The thermometer stood at 40° in the morning of that day, and on the 28th it rose to 55°. Since the commencement of the present month, the temperature has been generally above 40°, and as little rain has fallen, the ground is in excellent condition for being plowed, or for receiving seeds. In the lower districts sowing of beans will soon commence, if the present mild weather shall continue. Field labour is going on with activity, and the obstruction it met in the preceding months may soon be forgot. Young wheat has a most flattering appearance, and has improved considerably since our last. Turnips have suffered most severely. Young grass (except on spongy or mossy soils) continues to hold out. The mantle of snow under which it lay concealed, served to protect it from the effects of the frost. Prices of grain have advanced a little since our last. Potatoes are also in more request, and are shipping at several ports for the London market, where they sell at 3s. 4d. a bushel. The prices at which they are shipped in Scotland are from 9s. to 10s. 6d. per boll, of 32 lb. to the peck, or 6 bushels to the boll. In the prices of sheep and cattle there has been little variation since our last.-14th Feb. On the 10th of the present month, the Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) was in full blow. The leaves of the spring crocus and snow-drop began to appear above ground It may be remarkon the 11th, and the winter aconite was in full blow by the 14th. ed that the leaves of the snow-drop appeared on the 5th of January last season, and was in full blow by the 16th of that month.-Perthshire, 14th January. |
