SECOND DAT.
On Tuesday morning, the company assembled
and rode round the , farm : they first examined at
work a newly-ipventedanachina to drill hi!rse-muck,
depositing turnip seed on it, and at the same time
covering.ihe whole.with the fresh *nth. This ma.
chine erillsimm tour to five (or, if required, more
loads) 'of muerte per acre, and will manure tour
acres a-clay. It worked so as to put' in the Muck
and seed at any depth, and required only three men
and two horses; whereas, on the general plan, it
would take five horses, two carts, and five men,
to fit!, earl, and spread the manure, and thus there
is a .;tvirtg ut rile labour of three horses and two men„
besides that of four or five loads an acre of the ma-
nure, the spreading it, and sowing the turnip seed.
Tins machine last year worked at, Mr. Cultey's,-01
kinglatid, With. great success, glielng to th,e turnip
crop a decided advantage, not only in bringing it id
the hoe much sooner, from the seed being placed
immediately on the tnnck, but also from tharefi•
curt-Ist:dice the plant being more vigorous..anficoo-:
sequeutly 'better able u) withstand the attaat4ifitkftr.
It was made by Mr: Blyth,
ker, at Norwich, and obtained much applansit,trom
the most Last inguished agriculturists who sashi it, and
it appeared, well calculated for light lands, aild DIM*
especially her small occupations.
The rape-dust drifts. And madhino to sow tar.
nips broadcast,, were again .exhibited at the farm-
yard. •
Mr. Lester's .thrashing-rnachitie was at work;
and also one made by Gowing and Andrews, Lon,
den, to go with 'the power of two men, which will
thrash 'thirty bushels of wheat per day. The *.strivr.
was not delivered so clean as was ell:rated., bar: it.
appeared that, with a little improvernen,t, .and wl
a one• horse power, it might 'become useful.
Mr. Blyth, of Norwich, exhibited a wheat drill,
the coulters of which being.movable on one beam
to': any width, gives an opportunity tocut the layers
fleeter or deeper as may be deemed requisite, and
will deposit more or less seed, , This drill was much
approved; as likewise was a lightly-construeted per.
table iron hurdle, of Mr. Blyth 0, to fold Obeep,
'Which, from its great durability, and being made at
the low price of Bs. promises to come into general
use,. at least where very great quantities arc Wale.

Mr. Thurstou's machine to dress flour, also Mr.
Pasmore's to grind wheat, and his chaff-cutter, at
work, were again shewn.

to attend in the House of Commons the preceding
night, as-two Bills, which tie considered of import.

allee, were betore the House. Sir John stated,

that, as • President •of the Board of .AgrigUllure,
lib had to present- to. one Gentleman of the Nor.
folk Agricultural. Society' (j. Byres, Esq, of Lynds.
ford a premium for the encouragement of
water meadow, many OCrei of which valuable
.land Mr. Byres had made. Speaking of the Nor-
folk husbandry, Sir John Sinclair observed, that
the Board, of Agriculture considered itself under
greater obligations • to, and received more valuable
eommunteations from Norfolk, than from any other
county, and that from it, in a great measure, was
derived that, success and knowledge se hick were dia•
tsibuted thrtugh the Umpire by the Board. After
other retnorks on his subjett, Sir John also said, that
he had likewise to present a premium to, the Aev.
Mr. Reddington, for a communication relative to the
greater utility obtained, from working oxen or horses.
(in this question, various had bet:n the opinions of
profiled farmers. and it was become highly desira-
ble to ascertain how far it was possible to lessen the
quantity of horses necessary to be used on a • farm,
fur their high price, expensive keeping, and heavy
tax, renderedthis subjeet of great impoitonee„, Sir
John observed, he utter wished to see excluded
that useful-animal, the horse, and the only desire of
the Board of Agriculture, was that of lessening, if
jiossible the expence of the farmer, and;, in every
Instance, to give encouragement to the promotion of
;ftgriculture.
Sir John Sinclair then gave
.. Prosperity to thb County of Norfolk."

Mr. Coke laid, that he had made the experiment
of working oxen, but that they did not answer. He did
not know a farm in -Norfolk on which they were
used; and where in other count it s they were, he had
never seen any good husbandry.pursued.
Sir Johu.Sebright gave as a toast, " Long Leases
to good Tenants ;" and afterwards said, that he
considered this p subjetl of the greateit national im-
portance for whertt.the system of giving leases did
not prevail, no good cultivation of ttie sod could be
expetted. . Sir John, in a concise brit energetic
speech, pointed out the advantages' derived both' to
the landlord: and the tenant from long leases, and
—deelsredshis determination alivays to grant them.
Mr. Coke then gave, as 'a toast, " Tito health'of
Sir John Sebeight ; ' arid afterwards " The Duke of
Bedford."
The " Health ,of Mr. Coke" was then drank
with three chedrs, and
.the company went to the
