locality, whereas from the masa yes pan through Mr.
Nectara neat little iron ode all is plenty and fertility.
Nothing is there an bat eau fields, gay flower
gardens, fields aviniene of gr, en crop, and an
' admirably arranged lemesesed, M which the fenuer's
quadrupedal treasures, bovine mad 'serene, are accommo-
dated and classified with ell the precision of a model
lodging-house of the most approved description.
The company, to the number of upwards of three hundred,
having been mustered in the dining-room and regaled with
a slight collation, proceeded to inspect the farm, the grow-
ing crops, and especially the new process of irrigation, from
which such fertilising results are anticipated. They first
parsed through a handsome garden, not the hut of Mr.
Mechi's triumphs over the vrilde-oess, and proceeded to en
0114114•411 field of wheat, through which gutty perch& pipes
hem been laid, and the new mode of irrigation tried, with
Mt Mat effect. We should here explain, that the ,codes
=di is to collect all the manure from the various
cow-sheds, and piggeries into a tank, where
b bp liquid by the addition of water, and
era /espied by a small steam-engine through
las tubes. At the point where the irrigation
to be performed a man holds the nozzle as in the ease of a
are.enltine, and the propulsive force is sufficient to send the
fertilising 'hewer over an immense surface. In the case of
the wheat the crop was too far advanced when the experi-
ment wee tried to develops its full efficacy; but upon clover
the effect produced was the subject of wonder and commen-
dation from ell present, amongst whom wore some of the
most experienced agriculturists in the country. The wheat,
although u yet only partially benefited by the irrigation, is
a magnificent crop estimated at five quarters to the acre. It
was subjected to a most critical examination by the visitors,
and pronousced to be wonderful when the original chai-
rmen, of the soilspon which it was grown was taken
into eensideratioa. The fields of eabbage and of turnips
were next examined and praised, Mr. Medd stopping occa-
sionally to explain the methods by which he had facilitated
their growth, after which there was a trial of McCormick's
and Huseey's reaping machines, the comparative merits of
which are still a vexed question in farming circles. Our own
impression, notwithstanding the judgment of the &rims'.
Weal socie, is still in favour of McCormick's, which in our
judgment does its work with a completeness which amply
onspensates for the closer cutting which is the single ad-
vantage that obtained the prize for its rival. Both machines
bed a fair trial yesterday, and enemata terrible
havoc upon Mr. Meal's green wheat, pe'forming
Neil task with almost magical celerity. In the
OM
of Mr. Mc Cormick's the work of delivery
is performed by an ingeniously contrived fan,
which the readers of the Daily Naas will recollect
was the object of great admiration at the Crystal Palace,
while Mr. liawj s machine delivers dir.-et from the
knives, but, as we thought, not in a condition so well
adapted for binding as by Mr. M'Connick's method. Opi-
nions were very much divided yesterday, and the farmers
generally did not seem to think themselves at all concluded
by the verdict of the society. Subsequently an experi-
ment was made with Mr. Fowler's clover-cutter, and the
tour of inspection was finished with an examination of the
farmyard and steam-engine, upon the merits of which
there was a general concurrence of opinion. The pigs, of
which there Is a large number, have arrived at a most com-
tenable state of obesity, and but for the flies and the hot wea-
ther would be models of tranquil happiness. Being fed out
of ingeniously coatrived circular troughs, divided into re-
volving compartments in which each pig feeds without the
possibility of interference from his Ipthaar there are
none of those differences of opinion that gonmilly disturb
the peace of porcine communities, sad the lonsegamos is
that they put up flesh with unusual rapidity.
The company having satisfied themselves with a salads
inspection of all the productive sanders of
proceeded to the meet extensive of the , which
