Mr. lExson stmngly advocated peilizree seeds as
being of as great utility as iasligree cattle.
Mr. it—Pore spoke of the value of Sutton's seeds.
Mr. DAMEN referred to the extraordinary degenera-
tions of seeds. hence he deduced the imp irtance of
making a jucilclon.. change in the inscription of the
crops grown.
Mr. G. W. Ilonta spoke of the importance of
attending to the proper mixture of seeds. He recom-
mended that on the buying of not only the
sample but also the bulk, should be examined and
tested. He menti )))) eil that he had been tolerably
successful with Hallett'a Twdigree barley and Sutton s
Mammoth mangohl ; the latter bail proilneed as large
a crop as any sort. In reference to the kale, he
quegioned whether wheat would grow well after that
plant.
Mr. DAMEN nail Reeds were very often "let wed,"
and he cautioned farmers against buying seeds that
had been thus prepared for the market—they looked,
perhaps, better than other samples, but they would
not yield. The hest thing was to buy of a respectabe
man. He himself had known seeds offerel at lea.
that were apparently better than those at SO..
Mr. AYLESBURY corroborated Mr. Damen as to the
deception of appearance.
The CHAIRMAN having gummed up the discussion,
Mr. C. SAUNDERS replied, giving some details XS to

Mr. Eason proposed and Mr. littnEN seconded a
vote id thanks to Mr. Saunders for his paper, and the
compliment having been acknowledged, the proceed-
ings were brought to a close.

GEORGE lII.'S VISITS TO WEYMOUTH.
We need hardly apologise for the appearance of the
following facts connected with a series of Royal visits
which, happening nearly a centnry ago, tended to
bring Weymouth into greater celebrity that it other-
wise woUld have enjoyed. Indeed, there can be no
doubt that many 44 our readers will appreciate the
objects iwe have n view, first, of showing how this
popular sea-side resort W3Ol selected as a spot where
the health of the Kirl might be improved, and,
secondly, f bringing to light many matters which are
not generally known in connection with his Majesty's
visits. .
