A correspondent wishes us to recommend to our country readers the raising of summer Barley, and, if to be got, summer wheat, this year.--The great prices of grain render it very desirable that our farmers should seize THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY; and as there is like to be greater duties upon spirits, rum and wines, summer barley is particularly worth attention. Beer and cyder pay no duties, wherefore barley and orchards must be more profitable than in past years. Hops also must be remembered.
