!seising their progressive improvement. With respect
to the application of salt to provender, it makes in-
ferior food available, and may possibly on ninny oc-
casions be advantageously applied in the stacking of
hay.
The President here embraced -the opportunity of
recommending the use of salt in the highest terms,
and obligingly offered a supply to the neighbouring
Gentlemen and Farmers, as he purposed to become a
considerable importer. He then proceeded to state'
the very great satisfaction he had derived from the
report of thevisitors—Mr. Harris, juts.of Ili{ cross ;
Mr. Atkinson, of Bassenthwaite ; and Mr. Jackson,
of Chspel.house. These Gentlemen had officiated
in the same capacity four yeah' ago. The improve.
ments already made, and the prospect of their eaten-
sion in all parts of the county, are reported by these
Gentlemen as infinitely to have exceeded their expec-
tations.. The increase of green crops is as ten to
*fie of whet were observed on their former inspec-
tion—the fellows are much improved in cleanness,
and the general attention which seemed to be paid to'
every other concern, greatly surpassed what had he-
'fore been exhibited, and was highly _commendable,
while a general spirit of emulation appeared to be
diffused and rapidly spreading throughout the court-
ty. Such merited encomiums accompanying the im-
'partial representation' of Gentlemen so eminently
qualified to distinguish and to judge of the state of
agriculture, cannot but be as highly gratifting to the
Meeting as it is laudable in the parties, who are thus
judiciously and beneficially conducting their farms:in
addition to which, without pieittmptuoosly arrogat-
ing more than that to which the Institution is justly
entitled, from its unwearied exertions, a secret indi-
vidual feeling of congratulation may be indulged in,
for contributing to the happy change so highly credit.
able to individuals, and so beneficial to the community.
Great as is the importance of agriculture—much as
it contributes to the happiness, prosperity, and
wealth of na ' s—it cannot permanently succeed
and flourish without the assistance of manufactures
and commerce, lf, as it is said; one individial in
agriculture is capable of raring food for six, two-
thirds of the male population must seek employment
in other vocations. Agriculture undoubtedly for-
niahes the base, but it is manufactures and com-
merce that must raise the splendid edifices of the
empire.
The Board of Agriculture has thought it proper to
give premiums to the different Agricultural Societies
in the kingdom, to be afforded and adjudged by
them for the best cultivated farm in their respective
districts. This mark of attention in the Board has
produced a very spirited contention. The fortunate
claimant is the Bev. John Benson, of St. Helen's,
, who has, by great perseverance and admirable culture,
made a very inferior bad soil highly productive, and
that with the exercise of such judgment as promises
to make an ample return. The competitors for the
B iard's premium had great merit. Commendatinn
cannot be toe amply bestowed on the farm of Mr:
li
Samuel Riggs, tenant to the Earl of Lansdale, at
Abbey Town. Mr. Ellis, of Croft Lodge, has, by
his judicious and extensive experiments, set an ex-
-1 ample to hi a neighbourhood of infinite importance,—
also Mr. Dy kes, w hose *jailed exertions have often
received the rewards of this Society. •
The stock brought for the eshibition this year to
the Schoose farm are fewer in number than op former
' occasions. Tnia tad fully been expected. The pos-
. se...ors of the long-horned or native cattle know
there is a strong prejudice against them, yet the short.
11..roed cattle are riot in numbers sufficient to produce
1
i much competi.ion. The long.hortied have this year
obtained the premium. There are gnarl cattle of every
breed, but a prepossession at the ;choose farm has
taken place in favour of the short.itorited, from the
general estimation in which the stork there is already
held. Nine are sold at e 5 guineas each to go to Ire-
land—two to Mr. Saul, of Grern.row, and ail are
to he sent into Somersetshire, auto the North Devon
stock. In early maturity there k t.o doubt of their
superiority, and it is the general opinion that the
steer will not be found interior to other breeds in the
yoke.
The present season happily presents us with the
earliest harvest in memory. The grain will be good,
but it A much to be apprehended that the crop
throughout the island will fall short of an average
produce—the green crops are somewhat backward,
but there is reasonable ground to believe they will
be of tolerable weight in the Northern Districts; but
the accounts of the hay and turnips in the Southern
parts are very cheerless. Probably, however, the
vegetation may this year continue longer than usual,
which will bee great relief to the winter food.—
Whilst every benevolent mind most unite in lament.
ing that any part of the empire should suffer, conso.
tattoo is derived by the appearance of abundance
which this country exhibits, and the generally pre.
approve state of the country at large. The demand
for agricultural produce must be great, and it may be
presumed that much may be spared for the supply of
both extremities of the kingdom.
The President now stilted that he felt himself
called on to repeat a remark which he had before had
occasion to make—that it would be highly conducive
to the interest and happiness of both masters and ser-
vants employed in husbandry, were more attention
paid to character.
On hiring male servants the masters' attention is
too exclusively directed to the exterior of the person
and muscular strength he may be supposed to pos.
seas, with little or no enquiry, awl, perhaps, less
•regard, to his previous moral conduct; forgetting
the extreme difference in those whose services are per-
formed from a conscientious discharge of their duty
which they feel they have no right to neglect, *hose
conduct is uniformly governed by principles of ho-
nesty and integrity, and those who work only whilst
they are watched Good masters may, generally
speaking, be said to make good servants—to possess
such treasures it is incumbent on employers to de-
serve them. It, corroboration of the truth of the
truth of the maxim which induced the toast, the Pre.
sident bad the honour to give before the company
quitted the Hall, " Good landlords make good
tenants."—The cup destined this year by the Society
far the best managed farm is given to Mr. Wilsons,
farmer, at St. Bees, and tenant to Mr. Fos. This
worthy landlord, by forbearance, indulgence, and
encouragement, supported his meritorious tenant

' severely felt—rroridcuce ties blessed his honest en:

deavours, and his present crops promise to
his srdunus struggle, and to requite his generous
landlord. He is now in the last few year&
lease, yet hi, exertions are unabated. and sit
title him to the Society's reward for the belt inn,

cloy is moth indebted to the viewers. lit Werth
for this office, it was important to choose the
experienced and most competent to secure a j,
proper derision, for rewarding the frost fit and
serving individual. On a future occasion might
be advantageous to associate with such judges
equal number of the worst farmers that coshl r
jetted, In order that such parties might have
partonity of communicating, and of seeing
deemed commendable, and by concurring in
wards of the Society, become educated and
candidates for those benefits and advantages t
of being derived from good husbandry.
The President announced that he had the ,
of inspecting the Associated Agricultural Society
the Abbey Holme. The spirit and intelligence which
distinguish that Society, and for which it is so re.
workable, have produced appearances that exciteatid
improvements that command admiration, from all
uhu have had _the gratification of inspecting them.—
WhateVer may have been observed as exertions on the
Schoose farm this year, the President trusted they
have merited the approbation of the Meeting. The
crops of grain •re tolerably good—the now 'lovers
most promising—the cocksfoot prasinus promising—
' the potatoe crop most luxuriant—the field 01 SO
acres was dressed with 5000 single.horse carts of
dung—as an object of admiration to the eve of the
agriculturist, it is said to be entitled to merit, but it
has no claim on others for imitation. The culture of
potatoes on a great scale is ruinous to farmers, and
ought to be practised but in the vicinity of large
towns, where manure can advantageously be obi Sin.
ed. The ostensive scale on which potatoes are culti-
vated must be a great injury to the best husbandry of
the county. With respect to the turnip crop,
though evidently in some spats of several growths,
consequent on the season, it is as clean as a farmer's
eye could wish, though not so egoist or weighty as in
former years. The sixty acres of turnips from the
ashes of burnt clay, though certainly much inferior
to those from the farm-yard or other manure, are yet
• great end important resource, wherever they can be
fed off by sheep or cattle ; as a good crop of grain
may reasonably he calculated on as a succeeding crop.
Burnt clay judiciously disposed of may become a
great resource. The reclaiming 'and bringing 300
acres of waste land into tillage and under-clop in so
expeditious a manner, must have brien.a source of in.
finite pleasure to every one' interested in rural im-
provements—the national advantage is great—the
local benefit has been important, in providing em•
ployment for many who must otherwise have become
burdensome on the Public, though high in health and
possessing full powers to earn • subsistence.
The President, after a very appropriate and im-
pressive address, concluding by stating, that other
duties of an imperative nature would demand his an.
sence, and for a longer period than he could Isiah ;
that, though personally absent, his !Part and mind
would still 1114 with the associated friends he address.
ed, whom he should indeed ill requite were he to
suffer his agricultural operations to become less enti.
tied to their approbation than on the present occa-
sion—or to be less regarded as worthy of imitation
by those interested in the general husbandry of the
country, or promoting the comforts and happiness of
the People—for to them he was hiAlsly indebted—
from them he derived the honour of hi: public sta-
tion, unalloyed by aristocratical combination. As
the servant of the People, he should ever be read)
to attend their commands, and, to the hest of his
judgment and power, honestly and conscientiously
discharge those duties confided to NS execution.
