THE following intelligent paper, reſpecting the preſent ſtate of huſbandry in the county of Middleſex, and the

means of its improvement, drawn up for the conſideration of

the Board of Agriculture, and ſince corrected and improved by Aann reſpectable individuals in the county, is now printed,

merely for the purpoſe of its being SrcHated there, in order that every perſon, intereſted in the welfare of that county, may have it in his power, to examine it fully, before it is publifhed. As it is merely an outline, it is requeſted, that any remark, or additional obſer vation, which may occur to the re- ader, on the peruſal of the following fheets, may be written on the mar- gin, and tranfmitted to the Board of Agriculture, at its office in London, by whom the ſame ſhall be properly attended to; and, when the returns are completed, an account will be drawn up, of the ſtate of agriculture in Middleſex, from the information thus accumulated, Which, it is believed, will be found, greatly ſuperior, to any thing of the kind, ever yet made Pl ublic.

The Board intends to follow the ſame plan, in regard to all the other counties in the united kingdom; and, it is hardl ly neceflary to add, will be happy to give every afſiſtance in its bower, to any perſon, who may be deſirous of improving his breed of cattle, ſheep,&c. or of trying any uſeful experiment in huſbandry.
