Is the smell fraction who can accept them to 11101101/0110
all the advantages offered freely to the whole? The ,
remedy seems plain. As the members cannot hear, let
them read. They have a right to hear every word that !
is uttered; why should they not have liberty to read a
verbatim report? They are all readere of the agricultu•
rat pipers. Why shoulilliot the Waned of the Society
gladly accept the assistance of reporters fur the agricul-
tural trees?
"A practice hue grown up lately," let UR quote the
Times, "which it hi very much the interest both of the
press and the public should not become established. Tue
allowing reports of procieedinga in which the publio have
an interest to appear in the newspapers front day to day
is very apt to be looked upon is • favour done to the
press at the expense of the dignity and propriety pf a
wart, a commission, a meeting, or • legislative body."
We are glad to acknowledge that latterly by the em-
ployment of its own profesaionel reportera the Society
has in several instanue taken pains to give immediate
publicity to lectures delivered in its rooms. Dr,
'9'oeloker, Mr. Henfrey, and others have thus spoken to
tens of thousands, instead of to mere tens, stud the
Society who engaged their services wes by the agrioultu-
ral press made proportionately useful end effective. Let
it adopt this plan as * rule Mateyit of in exceptionel
Matinees, and we have nothing !eater to desire.
The anoinaly id so 4rest, we witl even city so mon-
strous, WlllOll thooretioelly mortis equality of privilege
to more than 5,000 membera, and practically confines it
to less than 50, that we cannot believe even fears of
inconvenience and illation', visionary we believe them to
be, will much longer hinder the adoption of a plan for
Insuring the full and immediate publieation of the
agricultural prueecalings of the Agricultural Society.

AGRICULTURAL EXPORT FOR NOTICSIBXR.—The out
month has been one of metal severity, and, 'weeding
to the meteorological records, unieralleled sinee the
Novenibet of 1815—forty4hree years since, It may be
safely oonoluded that two thirds of the farmers now
occupying the soil never experienced such an inter-
ruption to the ploughing at so early \ period and,
acting on a previous long continued drought, the effects
on the young wheats are not very favourable. The
plant, generally, was baokward before the frost set In
many people bad •nctually stopped sowing for
want of rain, and much of the seed put in was coining
up in & very irregular and partial manner; and it may
readily be conceived that a severe frost setting in so
unseasonably early, must have acted very prejudicially
on such • state of thinp. The turnips and mead'
have also been checked in their growth, and now that
the greens are laid low, the bulbs are by no means
Do goods. the luxuriant foliage would appear to indicate.
Should the winter prove only moderately severe, there
will be great difficulty in finding sufficient food on many
farms for maintaining the flocks ; and, should the cold
season be extended far into the spring months, a large
consumption of corn or cake must be the consequence.
The demon has been everything which could be
wished for those farmers who adopt the new, but
excellent system of autumn tillage. Much ground
hats been cleared of its rubbish during the continued
dry weather; and, let the subsequent season be what
it may, the land no treated will be in a good state to
receive the ensuing spring seeding. The very favoura-
ble nature of the season for the last two or three years
for tilling the soil, has enabled them to get their general
work more forward than usual, and consequently •
rather important breadth will this year partake of the
benefits of autumnal tillage. There is • melted falling
off in the quanity of vetches sown this year, owing, po
doubt, to the very short crop grown, and the consequent
extravagant price of seed. Many people have sown
trifolium as • substitute, but we are of opinion they
will find it but a poor one, as it comes in the earliest of
all green crops (Italian rye-grass excepted), for spring
feed, and will not fill the vacuum created by the &boom
of vetches. Winter fallowing is well in plaoe, and
there will be ample time on the farmer's hands to
attend properly to every department of his bueinees.
Wheat has reached a figure at which its produce is quite
unreniunerating, and the acres sown will be much less
than during the last three or four years. Other corn
has been fulling, except prime malting barley, the
wimples of which form rare exceptions in the market.
Every article, except sheep, Beams to have a precipitate
downward tendeney ; and although, the great compe-
tition enables huidcwners, as yet, to realise undiminished
rents, we expect coon to experience • reaationfor,
with the present prices of produce, they eannot be paid,
if the farmer is to live liiinaulf.—Annioui,t.
