The breed of cattle which had the quickest propensity to

said the worthy President, bad had a great loss in an admir-
able friend of his, Mr. Speddiag, of Allirehouse, quitting it.
He was a most excelled farmer, and he bad a very valuable
breed of cattle between the Kyle) aud short-horn—cattle welt
adapted to every part of the county. They had lost much by
the want of such an example. But much as he was an ad-
vocate for good cattle, be was still more solicitous for the
introduction of sheep—these, whilst they were advancin in
value, were every slay improving the soil on which they
feed. Sheep might now advantageously be kept on roils
formerly quite unfit for them. By the use of salt they were
no longer subject to the rot. Where sheep could be kept,
their profit much exceeds the best breed of cattle. He was
glad to aasionsee to the Meeting that some of the heifers
went to Leedom, to his excellent Maid, Mr. Wilhin (we
believe). If they turned out as he expected, they would, h.•
hoped, induce the cow.kecper of London to tome to Ai,:

would they say, when he informed them that ploughs and
harrow. were at that snottiest on their way from Wm kin Vim
to Middlesex. If the people of Middlesex were divined
to esteem their agriculture, he Nattered himself they might
not have less reason to look favourably towards them for
stock. Again, he begged to apologise foe the length lie hail

thanks for every part of their kind iadelgence, antonett

mourn. He appealed to the recent opinions Imbed given iu
Parliament. He °prowl the tax nn word, because he did
not conceive that a lartiat benefit to the flak-master of one
or two liendted thousand pounds was to be brought into
competition with the benefits derived to the nation from the
mannfierteriem 'of above two millions of wool purchased
front foreign countries, by the manufacturing of which, sex
millions probably was predneed. Four millions gained to the
country by its hamar afforded, in hie opinion, a prospect of
greater advantage to the agriculture of the amide, than par-
tial advantage by fallacies* the privet/ wool. The consump-
tion of victual by ilea employment giveu was likely to be of
more real benefit to agriculture itself, as well as augment-
tug the general capital of the country. His vote, though
esteemed hostile to the interests of aviculture, was directed
with a view to what he deemed its real and Solid interests.
Dopler the same convictive' of the generst good of the ems-

truest delight to every Cumbrian to see the rapid progress of
improvement. He who left this county eight or ice years

county. For greed aid hairlinel scenery au part of the
world surpassed it ; sad it was left for us by exertion to ren-

In seven years there had bees achieved what it had required
treble the time la effect in other places. la Norfolk, the
county pre.entiocat fir agriculture, Mr. Coke was a farmer
for eleven years, before he had use imitator. The fact was,
agriculture was sot an art learnt fens the eye ; besot/ cap.
tivates by sight, agriculture advances aud perfeetioss by re-
Ratios. This accounted for the slow progress it had made
in the world. It had often surprised him, and, he owned,

—how, without meaning any offence to other parts of the
kingdom, it happened that the individuals of this county be-
came passaged of a more general and a greeter polion of
education has falls to the lot of the nation at large ! The
happy fruits were exemplified. He went seven years ago to
the Abbey Holm to assist sod advise with them on their
modes of culture; it was difficult to bestow with truth the
most slender commendation. What has bappesed in that
short period? Their greens crops are ten times multiplied—
their clover is excellent, their fallow, eke., and the whole
state of the cultivation admirable. With all his disposition

power. He saw himself surpassed in green crops—equalled
in cleanlisess--and be might then visit that quarter to learn,
where he originally went to teach.—/Applause.)—This was
the cause—their minds were prepared by admirable educa-
tion. The seeds were sown by an admirable (tined of
his. The moment their minds were brought to contemplate
what waa proposed, they were equally able to appreciate and
execute. The !Wish was delightful ; and he gloried to have

age of Mr. Parker; the energy of the English character was
too where so pre-eminently displayed as in the British sea-
man. He knew of no class of individuals from whom he
would sooner select a subject for making a geed farmer.
Exertion and perseverance were the fuuudation for pre.
eminence in both spheres. Mach, indeed, bail been done
by Mr. Parker and hie example had obtained the attention
of his neighbours He was delighted with one little farmer,
Isaac slosaup, who, in • country inoet fitted for peen crop, but
where unfortunately they did not exist, had had the courage
to enter with spirit into the cultivation of gram crops, and
had six acres of turnips under admirable culture. The ef-
fort was of no small merit—be who could conquer his pre-
jitdices and adopt a system diametrically opposite to that he
had followed, had great merit ; sad be who with little means
wrist Iseyond them had infinite merit. Thitigs were great I
and small by comparison; and this effort was, in that in-
dividual. deserving of east praise sad commendation. The
worthy Gentleman catenated: lie hoped it would not be
lung before the value of that district of the comity world
be doubled. It was necessary that he should then advert to
the proceedings at the Sehoose farm iu the present year.
The most important (and ino.t truly important it was), WWI
.he extended use of sett in feeding cattle. Its excellence
was established beyond the reach of doubt. It' remained,
however, very didnaue, whether salt wit or was mitt CITA-
ble of being seed as a tuatiure.—The follohing experimeeit
had been tried :
" A compost was made in the proportion of 15 tons of
soil, and half a ton of salt :—twelve garden pots were filled ;
the first with the soil only; the second, in the proportion of
one quart of compost to eleven of soil; the third, two quarts
of compost to ten of soil—and su on in the like gad/vides
mild the twelfth or last pot contatued the pore mixture or
first made compost. In order to compare the progress still
more, one put was filled with a mixture of dung and earth,
and another pot with the proportion of eleven and one of
compost. The fourteen pots were sown at the same tunic
with turnips. The appearance of the plants was greatly in
favour of the duo; and earth for a considerable time. As
the plants cut streugth, those with a sandier portion of salt
became evidently the strongest and must vigorous.'
