Wednesday was spent in viewing the Schoose
Farm. The wheat crops were allowed to be the
best and most productive daily that had been *ern.
Mr. Curwen has this year a greater growth of
wheat than probably any malt iu Euglaiiii, having
upwards of 13,000 stooks. On 56 acres, after
potatoes, there were 4340 stooks, or about 80 per
acre. The clover plants very full and healthy.
The turnips had suffered more from the wet, and
'Will be a very failing crop. Thi• potatoes a6o, with
the exception of one hold, are unpromising. The
season had proved particularly unfavourable for
this farm. During the last two months it has been
utterly impossible to do any towards cleaning
the laud. The carrots also are a failing crop.
0.1 Thursday the experimental cattle were weigh-
ed; the improvement made by the different breeds
was the oulqwt of touch and just admiration.
Fourteeu pair of risen, driven with rein., started
for a premium for ploughing. Their docility, and
the mode in which they performed their work,
gave universal satisfaction, and may lead to very
important consequences to the agriculture of the
county.

On Friday the experiment cattle were sold.
The judges decided the merits of the stock as fol-
lows :-Ist, to the short-horned, 2d, Hereford, 3d,
Sussex, 4th, Galloway, 5111, Glamorgan, and 6th,
the long.horued. By tits, and the relative weights
and prices, it will be observed, the long.horned
cattle have made the least progress of any of the
different breeds. As the detail of the experiments
will he before the public, we will not hazard soy
statement which may chance to prove erroneous.
The number of carriages, and gentleran on horse-
back, and others, who attended to view the plough-
ing match, and the fineness of the day, ins& this
a very pleasing sold icim-esting sight. The first
premium was adjudged to Mr. John Dixon, of
Westfield, the seeinid to John Eaves, who plough-
ed with oxen. The performance of the oxen
both surprised and pleased every one; and what
added to it was, that the oxen had not been driven
single above a week, and mast of the Illouglituen
were unaccustomed to them. The Hereford oxen
were most approved.

Toe shew of stork was not so large es on former
ocassithis. A heifer, of the short-horned breed, of
Mr. Aleeliall'a, of Low Plaine, was greatly admired.

Upwards of .500 perains dined with the Presi.
dent, at the Satire. We de not remember ever
to have seen so many distilignislitd agriculturists
from other counties. (There was a isuintromm at-
tendance hone Dur:iam and Narthunaberland.)—
