TO OUR READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS,

WV E have availed ourſelves of the permiſſion óf the proplictor of

Dr. Darwin's Valuable Work, the Phytologia, to copy their Engravióg óf his Drill Plough, and Mr. Swanick’s Seed Box. Out mumerous correſpondents may poſſibly improve upon them—at leaf they have one thing to rêcóommend fhem—the adoption of the univerſak joint, which, in our opinion, is a great improvement»

Agricoha Norfolcienhs, is deſerving of our beſt thanks, and we thin that our agricultural readers will ever find both amuſement and im- proveméñt in the peruſal of his Eſſays,

Mr. Weſton's very valuable communications âre inſertéd, and wé bave no doubt but they will prove as acceptable to our readérïs ás to us

The Bérkſhiré Farmér's account of Boardſey*s Inſtiïuméñnt for ſow- ing ſmall ſceds broadcaft, will, we have no doubt, be üſed by every ad- herent of the old ſyſtem.

‘The Buckinghamſhire Farmer's Létteî was recéîved, but we coñe ceived the expreſſioûs were rather too haré, and therefore did not in- fert it—ſhc1ld he, however. think fit agäin, to write any thing on thé

fame ſubje(t, which would not perſonally offfend-—it would immedi-

atély occupy# place in our Magazine: Thé favòrs of N. S. and P. are received, but came too late for pub- lication. EE

Our Old Friend Cáſtor has not lately addreſſed úss wé truft we have not cffendcd him, áñd thérefore hope for a continuation of his favors

*,* The fſtitcher of this Magaziné, by drying the ſheets ſuf- Ftred ſome hundred of four pages, o the laſt Number to be burpt, conſequently ſüme of aur Readers have their Number infperfeé}; we therefore preſent the deficiency in this Number.
