This Association is formed for the purpose of affording to the 

 Agricultural Interest, by means of its collective capital, the funds 

 necessary for the THOROUGH DRAINING OF LAND; and of 

 executing and superintending the execution of the works required 

 for this purpose on .the most economical and effective principles 

 — repayment of the money advanced to be made, with interest, 

 by such equitable half-yearly instalments as in the several cases 

 may be determined. 



Among the various objects to which of late years collective 

 capital has been more or less successfully applied, it is not a little 

 surprising that the one which, of all others, offers the most cer- 

 tain and profitable return, with the soundest security, should 

 have hitherto been almost disregarded. The time, however, has 

 arrived, when an urgent desire for Agricultural improvement on 

 the one hand, and a dearth of safe and profitable investment for 

 superabundant capital on the other, renders such an Association 

 highly desirable to both the landed and monied interest, whilst 

 to the community generally an almost incalculable advantage 

 will be secured by a proportionate increase of labour and food. 



At a meeting of the council of the Yorkshire Agricultural 

 Society, held in York, on the 20th of December, 1843, a resolution 

 was passed, approving generally of the objects of this Association, 

 and at the monthly meeting of the Wakefield Farmers* Club held 

 on the 5th January, 1844, a resolution approving of the principle 

 and objects of the Association, was unanimously adopted. 



At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, 

 at Liverpool, in July, 1841, Lord Stanley remarked— that "there 

 was no bank in the whole country — no commercial speculation — 

 no investment so safe, so sure and profitable, as that in which 

 even borowed capital may be engaged, by investing it under the 

 ground of your own soil." And in reference to this Association, 

 his Lordship, in a letter to the Committee says :—" I am fully 

 satisfied of the benefits which such an Association is capable of 

 conferring on the country, if confined to its legitimate object— 

 the lending of capital on the security of an investment in drain- 

 ing; and I think it veiy probable that many landed proprietors 

 would avail themselves of the facilities afforded by an institution 

 lending money on land, repayable by instalments— a condition 

 on which few private parties are willing to lend. 



Bearing in mind the important objects of the Association, and 

 the perfect security with which its operations can be conducted, 

 at a comparatively trifling expense (no large expenditure for pre- 

 vious outfit being required?, it may be reasonably expected that 

 the return fur the capital embarked will be such as to insure the 

 support of prudent and permanent investors, thereby divesting 

 it of that specu'ative character which has stigmatised so many 

 modern projects, and which it is the especial desire of the Com- 

 mittee to avoid. 



Application for prospectuses, and further particulars to be 

 addressed to the Solicitors, Messrs. Blanchard, Richardson, 

 and Gctch, York ; or to J. H. Charnock, Esq., the Secretary, 

 Wakefield. 



I HE ti A 1 K. — Ut the numerous compounds con- 

 -*- stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc- 

 tion of the Hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very 

 limited period ; whilst ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, with a 

 reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public estima- 

 tion. The singular virtues of this successful invention for re- 

 storing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Huir, are too 

 well known and appreciated to need comment. The very facts 

 of the high and distinguished patronage it enjovs, its general 

 use m all countries, together with numerous testimonials 

 constantly received in its favour, are authorities which 

 stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts 

 of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its con- 

 sequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled 

 Shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the 

 •' Genuine " Macassar Oil; whereas the genuine article is 

 wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and 

 the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortive 

 any attempt to discover its component parts— thus proving the 

 imposition of all other articles bearing the title of •• Macass'ir 

 Oil." The genuine article has the words ROWLAND'S MACAS- 

 SAR OIL on the wrapper.— All others are FRAUDULENT 

 COUNTERFEITS 1 1 ! 



METCALFE'S NEW PATTERN TOOTH-BRUSH 

 and SMYRNA SPONGES.— The Tooth Brush has the im- 

 portant advantage of searching thoroughly into the divisions of 

 the teeth, and cleaning them in the most effectual and extraor- 

 dinary manner, and is famous for the hairs not coming loose- 

 It. An improved Clothes Brush, that cleans in a third part of 

 the usual time, and incapable of injuring the finest nap. Pene- 

 trating Hair-brushes, with the durable unbleached Russian 

 bristles, which do not soften like common hair. Flesh Brushes, 

 of improved graduated and powerful friction. Velvet Brushes, 

 which act in the most surprising and successful manner. The 

 Genuine Smyrna Sponge, with its preserved valuable properties 

 of absorption, vitality, and durability, by means of direct impor- 

 tations, dispensing with all intermediate parties' profits and de- 

 structive bleaching, and securing the luxury of a genuine Smyrna 

 fcponge. Only at Mktcalfk's Sole Establishment, 130b, Oxford- 

 street, one door from Holles-street.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND, 



SEEDSMEN. 



THOMAS GIBBS and Co., corner of HALF-MOON- 

 STREET, Piccadilly. London, having had the honour of 

 being officially appointed the SEEDSMEN to the u Royal Agri- 

 cultural Society of England," beg to assure the Members of the 

 Society, and their Agricultural Friends in general, that this re- 

 newed mark of confidence will stimulate them to continued and 

 fresh endeavours to merit so high a distinction. It has been the 

 endeavour of the firm ever since their appointment as Seedsmen 

 to the late Honourable Board of Agriculture, in 1799, and to the 

 Honourable Board of Agriculture of Sweden, to devote their at- 

 tention to supplying no seeds but such as they consider to be of 

 the best quality; and they feel assured, that by strictly adhering 

 to this principle, they shall be enabled to secure a continuance 

 of that support which they have now received for 50 years. 



Thomas Gibbs and Co. beg to call the attention of Agricul- 

 turists to their general Stock of Seeds, to the selection and 

 saving of which they have devoted the greatest care and atten- 

 tion. Among others, they beg to call particular attention to the 

 following, viz. : — 



GRASS SEEDS, 

 For forming permanent Meadows and Pastures. 



Mixtures of Selected Natural Grass Seed for the purposes above 

 mentioned, proportioned and adapted to suit the nature of dif- 

 ferent soils. T. G. and Co., having formerly had their attention 

 particularly called to this peculiar department of the business, in 

 a scientific point of view, by the Honourable Board of Agricul- 

 ture in 1799, have ever since that time continued to make the 

 Grasses a matter of particular study and attention. From the 

 long experience in laying down land in all parts of the country, 

 they confidently rely upon their being able to give entire satis- 

 faction in their selections. 



Mixtures of the above especially adapted for field-lawns and 

 parks. 



WHITE BELGIAN CARROT. 



Large white Belgian (or Flemish) Carrot (of which extraordi- 

 narily heavy crops are obtained). 



Large Field Altringham (Red) Carrot an excellent field Carrot. 



MANGOLD WURZEL. 



Long Red Mangold Wurzel (producing very large crop). 



Yellow Globe ditto, ditto (highly approved to shallow soils). 



Red Globe ditto, ditto (adapted to light shallow soils). 



Long Yellow ditto ditto. 



TURNIPS. 



Purple Top Swedish Turnip (combining large produce with 

 beauty of form and smallness of top). 



Green Top ditto ditto (hardy and useful variety). 



Gibbs's Green Top Yellow Hybrid (strongly recommended — 

 will bear sowing later than Swedes, and next to the Swede in 

 hardiness). 



Gibbs's Red ditto ditto (same a3 the above, with red top). 



Green Globe Turnip. 



Early Stubble Turnip, and other varieties of known good 

 qualities. 



All kinds of Agricultural and other seeds; different varieties 

 of Grass seeds ; Italian Rye Grass, Improved Perennial Rye Grass, 

 Clovers, &c. &c. 

 Please address 



THOMAS GIBBS and Co., the Seedsmen to the " Royal 

 Agricultural Society of England," and to the Hon. Boards of 

 Agriculture of England and Sweden, corner of Half-Moon-street, 



Piccadilly, London. 



SKIKVING'S LMfKUVED SW^Ulfi TUKNl^. 



TfjT SKIRVING, Seedsman, Queen-square, Liver- 



*j • pool, begs to acquaint his Agricultural Friends and the 

 Public, that the price for the present season of the Genuine Seed 

 of his improved Swede Turnip is Is. 6rf. per lb.; the sort war- 

 ranted the same as that for which he received the Premium of 

 the Royal Agricultural Society of England. All other sorts of 

 Turnip-seeds of the common kinds at the usual prices; also the 

 most approved varieties of Mangold Wurzel, large White Belgian 

 and Altringham Carrot. 



For permanent Pasture, W. Skirvivg begs to offer his Selec- 

 tion of the most useful Perennial Grass-seeds. The sorts selected 

 from personal observation of the growth and habits of the dif- 

 ferent Grasses grown in his experimental Grounds at Walton. 

 On this system he has supplied within a few years, Seeds for 

 many thousand acres, which have given every satisfaction. 

 Orders stating quantity and quality of land to be laid down, will 

 be correctly executed, with a suitable mixture. 



For alternate Cropping, W. S. can recommend Seed of pure 

 Itali an Rye-grass, grown and carefully saved on hi s own farm.

'TWENTY YEARS' LOSS of HAIR, and WONDER- 



-1- FUL RESTORATION. Church-street, Whitby, Oct. 19 

 1841. Gentlemen,— Of the last supply of Oldriucb's Balm 



y. Orders 

 have poured in more than ever since the powerful effects of the 



Balm have been so decisively demonstrated in the cases of seve- 

 ral credible and respectable inhabitants of the town. One in- 

 stance, among others which have attracted particular attention 

 is the case of a gentleman who had had little or no hair for 20 

 years; he had tried numerous preparations in vain, and ulti 

 mately had his head shaved, and wore a wig. At my recommend- 

 ation he tried the Balm; and after using it according to the 

 directions for a short time, the young hair appeared, and he has 

 now as fine a head of hair as any person in Whitby. Yours &c 

 Joii.v Kilvinton.— To Messrs. Kennaby, Brothers, io. West'
