We are happy to be enabled to state that the eful.
bition of stock, though not by any means s
2. we could
desire, was yet so large as to corrob'drate the oninion
originally expressed—namely, flat this locality would
bear away the palm in e_;„y competition throughout
the country. The betils were first-rate. The cows
also were of exccilent quality and condition. The
pigs and sheep were generally above the average de-
scription, The show of implements was not very
numerous, nor did we observe any very material im-
provements beyond those we witnessed last season.
A dinner took place in the evening, at which Lord
Stanley presided. He was surrounded by a nume-
rous group of agriculturists and some manufacturers.
After the usual loyal toasts, Lord STANLEY gave the
principal toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the
Liverpool Agricultural Association." I feel it unne-
cessary (said his Lordship), to express the satisfaction
I feel at seeing myself surrounded by so numerous and
respectable an assemblage, gathered together to do
honour to the institution the anniversary of which
we are engaged in celebrating, and also, I would fain
hope, to bear, by their presence, their testimony to
the merits of this and similar institutions, in pro-
moting the important objects they are designed
to serve. These objects are of a two-fold charac-
ter, not only important as they tend to increase
the facilities and to increase the cheapness
of cultivating the soil of this country and rendering
it more adequate to meet the daily increasing wants
of a rapidly augmenting population, by the applica-
tion of improved science and art to the limited sur-
face of the earth over which we have command, but
still snore important in their bearing upon our social
relations, bringing together all classes of the commu-
nity—(Hear.)—landlords, tenants, of a higher and
lower class, and even the labouring classes, also, and
combined, as lam happy to see them on this and
similar occasions, in this locality, with representa-
tives of the great manufacturing, mercantile, and
trading classes.—(Cheers.) In every quarter of the
kingdom we find, within the last few years, societies
similar to this have been springing up, and agricul-
ture is partaking of the great movement which has
been pervading all the industrial branches of this
country. Farmers are finding out that it is neces-
sary for them, with a view to their own interests, to
take a very different course from that which was fol-
lowed by their grandfathers and great grandfathers.—
(Hear.) In these days no man is allowed to stand
still. Improvement must go on. And if I look at
our own immediate neighbourhood, and compare the
position in which we stand, defective as we still are,
and having much to learn and much to improve in—
yet whether I look at the farmer's stock, his mode
of cultivation, or his desire for improvement and
amelioration, and compare the state of things now with
what it was when, fourteen years ago, I first had the
honour of occupying the chair of this society, I hope
I am not assuming too much when I say, that to the
constant meetings and constant intercourse carried on
between different classes by means of this society,
much of that improvement is to be traced which no
man with an eye in his head can deny has taken place,
and which is most gratifying to those whose interests,
like mine, are bound up with the welfare of the agri-
culture of this district.—(Hear, and cheers.) Even
within the last few years, within a much shorter time
than that which I have named, within the last four or
five years, I see strides which, small as they may be
compared with what might be done, are gigantic when
compared with what was done before. I think it is
not more than four or five years ago, that at a meet-
ing of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, I
first noticed as a novelty of a singular character a new
manure known as guano, and recommended to the agri-
culturists of England.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
If I am not misinformed, from this single port of
Liverpool there have gone out, within this single
year, no less than 150 vessels, chartered expressly
for the purpose of importing this, then unknown,
manure for the improvement of the agri-
culture of the country. It is not alone, however, in
matters like this that we see the usefulness of these
societies. I look for much more extended and per-
manent improvement from their operation. Every-
where I see old, useless fences disappearing, fields en-
larging, improved modes of cultivation adopted ; and
I see going on with immense rapidity that which I must
again and again impress upon you who are connected
with the land is the basis of all improvement—deep and
thorough drainage of the land; and not here alone,
but throughout all England, I see most remarkably,
as any one, indeed, may do, even though whirled
through the country at the railway speed at which we
are now carried, what an extent of improvement has
been effected in this respect. Every one is struck with
the appearance of preparation for future exertions,
which are, at the same time, the token of well de-
served success. Some of the old farmers of this country
—I mean the real old class—(A. laugh)—shrug their
shoulders and say, " What is the need of all this stir
about improvement, and making the land grow so
much more ?" By the bye, it is not so much making
it grow more as making it grow different crops—
making it grow wheat instead of weeds.—(Hear,
hear.) But some say, " What is the use of all this ?
It is not a question for the farmer. We shall only
have our rents increased the more productive land is.
Such an argument, allow me to say, is the very climax
of absurdity. To use a very homely phrase, it is
"cutting off one's own nose to spite one's face."
" Why should I undertake an improvement because
my landlord will benefit by it ?" appears to me a very
inconclusive and absurd argument. lam not here to
dispute the fact, that every improvement in value,
every addition by science to the productive power of
the land, everything which adds to its fertility, must,
in the long run, be an advantage to those in whom the
fee-simple is vested. But the question is, at the same
time, that if it is an advantage to the landlord, is it not
also an advantage to the farmer who occupies the land,
and makes his livelihood out of it ? I ask no man to
undertake an improvement if his own good sense does
not lead him to do it. I ask no man to apply any
improved mode of cultivation if it does not appear
that his own individual advantage would be promoted
by so doing. But when farmers argue, that because
at the expiration of their tenancy their rents may be
increased, it is not worth while to adopt improve-
ments, I must say they take a very short-sighted
view of their own interests, and must think their
landlords very great fools and blockheads. They
must go on the presumption that although he sees
his land might be made more productive, he will be
satisfied, for the purpose of seeing his own rents low,
to allow a slovenly tenant to go on in his slovenly
courses.—(Hear, hear.) The landlord would be as
short-sighted as the tenant, if he could take such a
view as this. But again I say I want the tenant not
to undertake any improvement that will not repay
him, capital, interest, and profit, during his occu-
pation of the land.—(Loud cheers.) This brings
me to another question—as to the degree to
which it is desirable or important that the practice
should prevail of holding lands by lease. I speak, I
know, in the presence of a Noble Friend of mine, and
every man who knows him is aware that there is not
a kinder or a better landlord, or a warmer friend to
his tenants and neighbours, than my Noble Friend on
my left, the Earl of Sefton.—(Much applause, the
N oble Earl rising and bowing to his Lordship and
the company.) I know also it is not my Noble
Friend's practice to let his farms on lease. The great
majority of his tenants are tenants from year to year,
with such entire and perfect confidence in the honour
and integrity of their landlord, that I do not believe
that the fact of their having no lease operates dis-
advantageously in any individual case. But this I
say, and as one connected with the land I feel myself
bound to say it, that a landlord has no right to expect
any great and permanent improvement of his )and by
the tenant, unless that tenant be secured the repay-
ment of his outlay, not by the personal character
or honour of his landlord, but by a security which
no casualties can interfere with—the security granted
him by the terms of a lease for years.—(Applause.)
I do not speak of a lease for lives. In my expe-
rience, with some exceptions, wherever I have found
fields badly cultivated, and buildings dilapidated, I
have found that the property is held under a life lease.
—(Laughter, and much applause.)
I speak of a
tenant who is prepared to join his capital, and to go
hand in hand with his landlord, in the improvement
of the farm. The greater the improvement you t
exl-
pec ,
the greater ought to be the lease you give.
consider it unjust, if you call for improvement, not
to give to the tenant the moral certainty that the im-
provement during the
he effects shall repay him
course of his lease for the expense he incurs.—
(Hear.) But, gentlemen, I am not speaking now
except that of which I am practically conversant
with, and given proofs of my adherence i
ton
practice. I allude especially to that which, again
I repeat, is the basis of all improvement, and es-
pecially in this country -- the thorough draining
