strati, n of fe rig on h. f of protection to Arrlcnltore, origi- 

 natinit In theChclmsford Meeting, and sine- followed npby most 

 of the counties « gland, holds forth a reasonable prospect that 



the great object in view may be eccompi dud without (at all 

 events In the present stage) recommending the preparation of 

 petitions to Parliament. 



That this Committee at present entertain no indention of em- 

 ploying lecturers throughout the county as advo tes on its 

 behalf. Chelmsford, Jan. 26, 1344. H. T. Bidd km,, See. 



SPALDING ASSOCIATION for the PROTECTION 

 of AGRICULTURE.— At a Meeting of the Members of the 

 above Society, and of other parties interested in the Protection 

 of Agriculture, held, pursuant to advertisement, at the Town 

 Hall. Spalding, on Jan. 23. Robert Evrrard. Esq., in the 

 Chair, the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted : — 



1. Resolved, That it is the bounden duty of all parties in any 

 way dependent upon the prosperity of British Agriculture, to 

 oppose to the utmost the efforts of the Anti-Corn- Law Lea?u . 



u gaged as the members of that League arc in an unconstitu- 

 tional conspiracy, adverse alike to the Agricultural interest 

 generally, and to the stability of the most valued institutions of 

 the country. 



2. Resolved, That the protection afforded by the present Corn 

 Law is barely sufficient to keep up the progressive Improvements 

 in Agriculture, and that if the efforts for extended lm| ment 

 tease, as must hi the cas ( pro'. on were withdrawn, the 

 increasing population or this country would be dependent for 

 support on the production of foreign countries. 



3. Resolved, That the evils of a free trade in Corn are genrwlly 

 Considered 01.1, through th* medium of the h.w prices which 

 would r .It from the withdrawal of protection, bat this meeting 

 considers that free trade would Induce such a superabundant 

 importation of foreign corn that the home-grown produce would 

 not at all times find a market at any price, and that the having 



to wait for a market for British-grown Com would, more t»-an 

 any other cause, occasion the poorer tracts of land to be alto- 

 gether thrown out of cultivation, and the labouring classe 



employed there >n to lose their only mean* of support. 



4. Resolved therefore. That this Sleeting do pledge themselves 

 not only not to give their support to any Government or partv 

 which shall, either directly or indirectly, attempt to deprive the 

 Agricultural classes of any portion of the protection afforded by 

 the present Corn-law, but that they will by every constitutional 

 means oppose any proposed diminution of such protection. 



5. Resolved, That a Petition to Parha:. t against any further 

 alteration in the Corn-laws be prepared, aud that co| 1 thereof 

 be sent to some influential person in each of the neighbouring 

 parishes for the matures of the landed proprietors/occupiers, 

 labourer.-, and other parties dependent upon Agriculture, and 

 that such petitions be transmitted to the Members for th 

 division for presentation in the House of Commons. 



6. Resolved also, That it is highly expedient that this Associa- 

 tion be extended for the general protection of British Agricul- 

 ture, and toco-operate with any icties of a similar chara< ,- |0 r 

 with any central or gen ral association in this county in oppo 

 ing the exertions of the Anti Com Law League, and that a sub- 

 scription he opened to enable such Association to act as the 

 exigency of circumstances may require. 



Resolved also, That the above Resolutions be advertised. 



_. „ ... Robbrt EvsRARn, Chairman. 



Mr. Everard having vacated the chair, it was Resolved, that 

 thanks be given to him for his able conduct of the proceedings.

^HE IRISH FARMERS' GAZETTE and HOrn 



• CULTURAL JOURNAL. Edited by Edmund Mr, 

 A.B., T.C.D., Landscape Gardener and Improver of EstataL? 



This Paper was commenced in May, 1842, and havinrJL 

 adapted to the ciicumstances of Irish Farming— now initrii? 

 tion-state from the worst to an excellent system— not onlv ■£ 

 out the best practice, but, giving plain instructions how 2 

 I per at son should be performed, is now recognised asthenic!- 

 of AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT in IRELAND whtSa! 

 advantages which have already resulted from it are uninntf! 

 recognised. The result of practices recommended, and off? 

 riments on all subjects connected with the improve'imntofS 

 and the increase of its produce, arc freely eominunicatfliS 

 the Editor and recorded. Selections of the most priSil 

 useful articles are made from the various works on rarminriS 

 which the press now teems, and utterly eschewing politic*-* 

 long the bane of the Irish Farmer— and devoting its cu^bT 

 exclusively to Agricultural and Horticultural impiovemeS^ 



THE FARMERS* GAZETTE has the distinguished honor* 

 he stamped with the approbation of those eminent ui.aridna 

 Wm. Blacker, Esq., James Smith, Esq., of Deauston, and* 

 late Mr. Loudon, and is received with such confidence that ft 

 practice of having its contents read at stated periods to asew. 

 bled farmers is becoming general. The circulation oi the HUB 

 FARMERS' GAZETTE has of late been extending evei i 

 England and Scotland, where, up to this perioil.no effort as 

 been made to bring it under notice, but where the principles e 

 good husbandry being everywhere the same, it is calculatei ■ 

 be equally useful as it has been found to be in Ireland. Th 

 most practically useful essays on Farming are, from time a 

 time, struck off for distribution in the shape of TRACTS FOI 

 FARMERS, and have been very extensively circulated, viz. - 

 On the Dairy; A Catechism of Thorough Draining and Subaoiaei 

 The Culture of Flax ; Management of Manure, and Oreo- 

 Cropping and House- Feeding, are nearly ready. Also, on tbeK 

 Jan. was published, the M Irish Farmers, Gardeners, and Forester" 

 Almanac." 



THE IRISH FARMERS' GAZETTE is published every Frier
