ROYAL NORTH LANCASHIRE AGRI-
CULTUI.AL Mx:li:TY-ANNUAL DINNIM.

The annual dinner of this society was held ma
Thursdiy evening, in the Exchange. Preston, after the cos-
cluston of the show of agricultural Unpinned' sad stock,
which took place in the morning. There was a Inge and ,
respectable company. Mr. Witrion PArres, M.Y., twee-
pica the chair; and amongst the gentleatea
_meant were
Ur. Townley l'arker, M.P. Mr. T. T. Parker , Mr.
Charles 'fowneley, M.P. ; Mr. Monk (Mayor of Preston) ;
Mr. Thor. Bright Crosse; Mr. C. P. Greaten (late M.P. for
Freston) Mr. Than. Birchen, and others.
The CHAIRMAN, on riling to propos* the tout of the
evening, eaplaiiied that the shaetieis of the Earle( Peeby
on this occasion, was owing to cireometsoces ever
which the nob!e lord had no control, his hodship beleg
obliged to be in the immediate neighbourhood el low
Majesty. No person could have boa sore it dos the
noble lord to have presided over thus an Ws esomins,
whether they considered Lim as am Otis, pal OM-
lords it this county, or as a landlord who bid dons se mach
as—he might perhaps say 'dread more
meets thew any person iu this sooty. Bet awe
than that, his losiliihip was wall known to them as
adding interest to every subject be [cashed upon. The task
before him was rendered lighter thaa ordinary, the council
of the society having wisely determined that they should,
as much as possible, give up the habit of proposing Masts
and making speeches, rod try to reader their meetings of
a more practical nature, from which, as agriculturists, they
might derive • little benefit from those who had the greatest
knowledge and experiei ce amongst them. The discussion
on the breeding and keeling of cattle, which had been
motponeil en the previous day, "wolf take piece that even.
Thi. society. like all ethers in this county with
which he was 6404112mi', cuntinueil year by year
tic inhibit better .114ws of tattle and of implements,
and be believed at no period wee there such
a hoe show of cattle, under the auspices of this society, as
there had been that day. Ile had no doubt this progress
was to he attributed nut only to the central societies, but to
the exerti ins of the numerous Ines' once which acted as
feeders to the parent associations. 'there were gentlemen
in that room who recollected the first introduction of the
improved breed of short horns into this county, yet for two
successive years, in the most distant parts of England, one
year at Meter, and the other at Lewes, they had succeeded
in competition with the whole of England put together,
and beaten them. (Cheers ) Not content with that, they
had crossed the water, and conquered al_o in 'reload.
lie could not 'tier to this subject without coupling with it
the oame of his friend, Mr. Charles Townley, who was
generally known in this county as the founder of the Im-
proved breed of short-horns. (Hear, hear.) It Lancashire
did not held as high a reputation is agriculture as other
counties in England, there was no part of the country
where greater progress was being made in agriculture.
The foods of the society were in a satisfactory state, and it
only required the coutinued and united exertion of all of
them in their several districts, to obtain additional subscri-
bers, and this society would continue to prosper. What-
evil' might be their opinions as to the merits of local or
parent societies, they must have felt the great benefit to
the 10,113r1, arising from a general competition at Med-
quarters. Ile hoped the judges would f theta with their
opinion as to the merits sal to.: new reaping wastlanes. It
W.l4l'weedingly important that the machines which were
most economical, and, at the same time, moat efficient fur
taming, should be introduced into this district. Another
very important subject, and one which he had always found
it very difficult to deal with, WAS that of the obstacles the
farmers of this county had to contend with from the
anomalous state in which all their agricultural weights and
measures were. (Hear, hear.) It would take too much
time to exhibit, so he had the power of doing, the very dis-
graceful state of weights and measures in this county.
Ile believed it to he totally impossible for a farmer
to derive the benefit which he might do from the
numerous valuable publications on the subject of agrieul-
tore, now circulating through the country, owing to the
great variety of weights and measures which are need.
The farmer's wits were punted by the diversity when he
came to try any new mode of cultivation which was sug-
gested. He would ask them, was it not a disgrace that even
to each an important place as Liverpool wheat was mea-
sured by a bushel of 7011 n., in this part of the county by a
111114'0 , in another part of the county by 601b5., and m an-
other port still by a weight of 220 tbs. ; and that is no
pert of this county with which he was salosisted
was wheat sold or bought by the legal WOW which
regulated the price of corn in the market. The &mos of
Lianalure did not know the price at widish difily Mid their
corn as compared with that which their noighboone did in
other parts of the country. Invent attospos had been
made by the legislature to evernone the illhiculty, but all
had failed for want of swersrating ; bet tall we could
arrive at a regular systems of weights sad 11111110%11111 whish

Mr. J. LAYCOCK, of Newassitinon-Tyne. He said,
as the inspector of implements, he might say,, ia retinae*
to the chairman's question about the reaping whines
which they had seen, that they were sew ia the country,
but as far es his own experiene of them could i•dinte, he

heavy shower, bellowing, and perhaps up to their knees in
mud. They ought always to be kept, besides, in • com-
fortable temperature, which was another point to be at-
tended to in cow-houses. It was Important that the cattle
should be supplied with sufficient food in spring • this
might easily be dose hy sowing rye, or tarsi, or rapii-eeed,
or other plants, instead of allowing them, when the Wave
were finished, to starve upon dry straw until the arrival of
the summer grass. Farmers should be careful to provide
attendants upon cattle who were fond of them and made
pets of them • persona who understood their =bite, and
took care that they should not hen an sneer

horned cattle wen more inclined to docility than thlll 1006-
horn,. Unless they were well-disposed cows, they gave
less milk and took less food. The disposition of eerie
might very often he judged of from the es preemies of the
eye. The diseases of cattle were often very imperfectly us-
dentood, and it was always desirable to comma a medical
man who was skilled in them. He knew several eases
where very improper remedies were applied. Be renew-
',red seeing, many years no, a man who had 40 cows
under his care ; and when one of them was hide-bound, he
took • pair of pincers and cut them across the back, in
order, as he thought, to Imams the skin. iliot many years
ago, a person in his employment, before he (Mr.
Bins) knew anything about it, cut off several
of his cows' taib, because he fancied that they
had a worm in them. (Hear, hear.) He thought
it was • great mistake to suppose that horses ware strong be-
cause they had thick legs. He would select horses that
Lail clean legs and powerful muscles for agricultural pur-
poses. With regard to sheep, he had an opinion that on
their highlands of Bleasdale and Weenie's, le., a new
kind ash*. p might he adopted with advantage. Br. Oar-
Lett had that day exhibited some Shropshire Domm,whieh
tame from a hardy, high district, and were very likely to
