MON DAY.
About ten o'clock, Mr. Coke and his numerous
friends inapected the hay-making machine, which
was at work in the park. The beautiful and effec-
tive manner in which this insplenient performs its •
work gave great satisfaction to all. Mr. Coke and
the company then mounted their horses, and rode
over a part of the Pork Farm, and on their way in-
spected an admirable piece of Barley, which is ex-
pected to produce about 15 cootnbs per acre. Mr.
Coke directed the attention of the company to a
piece or Wheat growing at a short distance—sod
here the superiority of the drill system over the
broad-cast method appeared very conspicuous, for
besides. crop which promises not less than seven
combs an acre, the land, by being inoculated, is,
at the same time, made to produce in one year a
perfect turf of grass, which, upon these light lands,
would take several years to accomplish by the old
method. Mr. Coke explained I he manner in which
the operation was performed. Two rows of turf
are, at a convenient tittle, planted between the rows
of corn ; these soon unite together in the centre,
and as soon as the corn is cleared off, they also unite
at the edges; by this means nn excellent pasture is
obtained in a short period, and with little expense.
A Treatise on Inoculation was some time since
published by Mr. Blaikie, in which ample direc-
tions will be found for performing the process.
The company then rode to a piece of Cock's-
foot Grasp, on which Mr. Coke's sheep had been
feeding. On this spot the merits of the folding
system wire &Remised. Mr. Coke called on Mr.
Bennett, from ‘l'iltshire, who keeps a large flock,
and is friendly to folding, to state to the company
its advassouges; and said, that though he laid him-
self long ego abandoned the system, yet he wished
every one to be thoroughly convinced on this, as
well as on all other subjects, before they adopted
any thing that he might recommend.
Mr. 13e8 NETT then gave a most clear and mi-
nute account of the folding system, as practised
by him in IViltshire; and contended that it was
Preferable in every respect ; that a larger portion of
laid was manured at less expense; that the sheep
were equally healthy, and subject to little loss.
Mr. Cox e replied, that although sonic advantage
was gained as to utauure by folding, the sheep were
not so healthy.
'flue company then went to see a piece of sain-
loin, where the effects of gypsum hail been tried as
a manure, conformably to a promise given at last
year% meeting.
Mr. COKE said. that the gypsum had been laid
on at the rate of six bushels per acre, and that the
re.olt had exceeded his most sanguine expectation.
ialy a 'cat of the laud hod been manured, in or-
der to chew more evidently its effects; amid Mr. C.
said, lie laid uo doubt but that if the whole 58
had been done, lie should have had more tons
of Bray. The same experiment had also been tried
with equal success.
Mr. CLAIKIE stated, that gypsum was to be
procured at Wells for 31s. per ton, or at the ma-
nufactory fur 7%. lid.
The patty then proceeded to Longlands, where
the Prize Boars were exhibited. Mr. Terlor, of
Dalltrui ; Mr. Oaks, of Burnham; Mr. Oaks, of
Creak ; Mr. Garwood, of Billingford ; Mr. Blyth,
of Burn's:lln ; amid Mr. Beck, of Mikhail). each
furnished one or more of these 'animals. There
were also two Neapolitan Boars, and a retuarkably
fine fat pig by one of this foreign breed out of a
Suffolk sow likewise two Neapolitan pigs, be-
longing to Mr. Coke, exhibited us extra stock.
The implements were not examined. The only
new one this year was a coin depositor or drill, by
Pasniore, manufactured by J. Morris and Co. of
Everton, in Nottinghamshire.
After viewing the sheep-shearing in the barn,
Mm. Coke and his numerous attemianta rode over
the Quarks Fara., and exit ggg i t ted Mr. fleagren
Galrba' beautiful dairy of Devona. From thence
they.weut over Mr. third farm, at Watertleth and
continued their route over ;bet of Mc. Denny, of
Egmere, where the coarpotty t.ok refrerlim-rat.—
Nutlesig eau possibly exceed the high state of cul-
tivation to which these farms are brought.
Mr. Coke and his friends then ftlilfllta to the
. Hall, where more than 300 persons sat clown to
dinner in the Statue Gallery and adjoiiiing rooms.
Geier being said, Mr. Coke gave—
" Constitution and King"—" Li,, and let Live."—.
" Good Per of the Plough."—" The lisslepriolenit
loamy of Norfolk."-4 The Enclosure of Wastes."
Mr. COKE now gave the health of Sir John Sin-
cl•tir, who, he observed, hod, lit a late publication,
Vie Code of Agriculture, washe use of some strong
language ill cotidenwation of the drill husbandry.
Mr. Coke read the passages alluded to, and said,
alit If Sir John would in future trust to ocular
I demonstration, instead of report collected from
Mnituful authority, he was sure •tlie Don. Baronet
worth' soon he convinced of hie error ; dint whet-
ever the drill aystetu had had a lair trial the practice
had stuceeeilett, and he was glad to say, that the
prejudice against it was dyisig away, and that it

" A name (said Mr. Coke) that will be dear to
every Englishman, us long as liberty is valued ;
let us not forget, gentlemen' what we owe to the
blood of that family." The Noble Duke's health
was drunk with three times three, and every mark
of approbation.
His Grace, who presided at the second table,
briefly returned thanks.
Mr. COKE then gave the healths of Mr. Ho!ditch
and Mr. Grissentlawaite, with thanks to them for
their having last year brought the subject of gyp-
sum before the meeting ; the experiment which had
this year been made, Mr. C. said, had succeeded so
well, that he had determined to give it a mere ex-
tensive trial next year, and had procured a quantity
for that purpose.
Mr. HOLDITCH, in returning thanks, said, that
whatever benefit war derived from the use of gyp-
sum, was solely owing to the experiments made
with it at fflolkham—that the failure of former ex-
periments was partly owing to the gypsum hieing
calcined before it was laid on the ground, and lie
recommended that it should be laid on without be-
ing burned.
Mr. GRISSENTHWAITE then returned thanks on
his part, and at considerable length explained the
nature and properties of gypsum. In the course of
his observations he stated the reason of gypsum
not being beneficial to the wheat and barley crops.
These plants are found not to contain one particle
of gypsum ; when as, the painfoin and clover
abound with, and are consequently congenial to it.
The use of this article us as manure for minion) and
clover could not fail to produce the most beneficial
effects. Mr. G. denied that gypsum lost any of its
essential qualities by calcination.
Mr. COKE then gave the best of good men—

- - - -
" The Lord Bishop of Norwich,"
which was (hook with distinguished marks of ap-
probation, after whirls Mr. Archdeacon BATHURST
briefly returned thank•.
Dr. LANGTON rose to add his tribute of thanks
for the honour done las excellent diocesan ; and
the Iter. Gentleman afterwards took occasion pt
some length to expatiate on the present alarming
state of pauperism in this• country, and said, that lie
trusted some t (rectum' remedy would shortly be
found. If every respectable labourer had annexed
to his cottage by way of reward, besides his garden.
a small pightle for the support of a cow, tins would
keep him very touch from troubling the parish ; it
would raise hint in his own eyes, and this elevation
would make lain more careful of his conduct, and
more respectable in the eyes of others. The prin-
cipal difficulty would be how to keep the cow in
winter ; but the farmer who received the benefit of
his labour :it other times, might assist him here, and
would 'bid his interest in so doing.
Mr. COKE then gave the health of Lord Albe-
marle—" A character (said Alf. Coke) so highly
and justly esteemed : one who is adored by his
tenantry, and beloved and venerated by his neigh-
bours—so much so, that I really believe he might
persuade them to do what is wrong, even to substi-
tute the broadcast for the drill husbandry.—
( Loud latighter.)—We however like now and then
to give one another a rub. in a good-natured way.
Ile Ines jestingly urged ines for some time, to drill
pease in the i-misie manner as in a garden, that is, two
rows nine inches apart, and eighteen inches between
the next two rows. I have trier' it, Gentlemen, but
find these pease are covered with lice. However. as
his Lordship can twis► any thing and any body to
any shape lie pleases, lie will, in all probability,
turn me to his owil purposes."
[The walls of flolkhatu reverberated with the
joyous cheers this toast called forth.]
The Earl of A LOCH A RLE rose to return thank',
under feelings most difficult to describe, for the
honour they had dune him, and especially frbiii the
wanner his health had been given by such a man,
and in such a company that moonier, indeed, could

. _ .
only be attributed to the partiality of his friend.
"'laving," said his Lordship, " heard my friend
(Mr. Coke) say, that it was more advantageous to
carry farming us near as poaible to gaidening. 1
thought, that as pease in gardens were set alter

bred ux. There were also several lota of beautiful Devotis,
belonging to Mr. Coke; and two remarkably large fat Scotch
oxen,belonging to Mr. Watts, of !irony.
he company then returned to the 11.11, where
upwards of 600 persons partook of Mr. Coke'. hos-
pitality, the dinner tables being set out in the whole
lower suite of those spacious apartments.
After dinner, in proposing Mr. BPiniett's health,
Mr. Coke expressed his regret that that gentleman
had so soots left (bikini:is, as lie was confident the
company would have derived both pleasure and in-
stroctiou from his conversation.
The next toast via.—
" Sir John Sinclair, Mr. Gordon, and the Scotch Gentle-
men present."
The Hun. Baronet observed, that there was no
man to whom the country at large was more in-
debted than to Mr. Coke. hi reference to the sub-
ject of drill husbandry, he (Sir J.) had been sup-
posed to have condemned it without proper investi-
gation; but the fact was, lie had tried it for three
years, and had endeavoured to obtain information
respecting the nteruts of the system, from the lo.vt
sources in every part of the empire. Sir John then
adverted,. with great minuteness of explanation, to
the various methods of depositing gratis; and con-
cluded with returning thanks for the honour con-
ferred.

Mr. GORDON also offered his acknowledgments.
Mr. CokE said, lie had listened with great Retest-
tention to what had fallen from his limo. Friend,
but none of Ins remarks had served in the least ties
gree to affect his own decided preference for the
drill system.
On the seine subject, the Earl of AI.IIFSIARLE
made some observations in his usual lively and in-
telligent manner. i Its Lordship acknowledged he
had read with attention the 13 itreolutions 14 the
1111t1. liarOllCl, cout.utirtl in bet lute utt brie:111011 ;
bat there we it great deal in thine Iteso;eit t of
which he found himself tattletale to e prebend the
meaning. " A*4 to the broadcast mode of husbandry,
1 thought (said the Noble. Lord), that it had been
altogether done away." lie believed, however,
that the failures which occurred in the dallied crops,
were not owing to the system as skilfully practised,
but to the mismanageintatt of the machine itself.
The health of Sir • Jacob Astley
