 This Association is formed for the purpose of affording to the 

 Agricultural Interest, by means of its collectivecapital, 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 halt-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 1 Club held 

 on the 5th January f 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 toil." And in reference to this Association, 

 his Lordship, in a letter to the Committee says: — ** J 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 1 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 tequired?, it may be reasonably expected that 

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

 support of prudent and permanent investors, thereby divesting 

 it of that speculative character which has stigmatised so many 

 modem 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, Mftstrt. Blanchard, Richardson, 

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

 Wakefield. 7

r P HE H A I R. — Of the numerous compounds con- 



JL 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 Hair, are too 

 well known and appreciated to need comment. The very facts 

 of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general 

 use in 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 consequent 

 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. Rowi and and Soy, 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 " Macassar Oil." The genuine article 

 has the words ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL on the wrapper.— 

 All others are FRAUDULENT COUNT ER FEIT S ! ! 1

THE NEW CHEMICAL MANURE. 



TJUMPHREYS'S FARMERS' COMPOUND.— 



-I A Stronger than guano, and without its scorching effects, 

 highly efficient with Wheat, Barley, Hops, Turnips, Potatoes, 

 &c« The strength renders this a cheap manure, as two-thirds 

 are equal to three of guano or of any other fertilizing agent. 

 Unrivallerl for garden culture. Price Vis. per cwt. — Davy

CHOICE FLOWERS and PLANTS, in POTS.— 

 HUMPHREYS'S INODOROUS SOLUBLE COMPOUND. 

 Fertilizing Agents of great power are here combined in a highly- 

 condensed form, to that a few grains of the powder dissolved 

 once a week, or once a fortnight, in the water used with plants, 

 are sufficient to produce a vigorous growth and splendid 

 flowers. Highly effective with Geraniums, Cacti, Pansies, Pelar- 

 goniums, Heaths, Verbenas, Carnations, &c. See Gardeners*

TTEENE'S PATENT MARBLE CEMENT.— This 



T7" CEMhNT ls particularly adapted for the Walls and Floors 

 of Conservatories and Greenhouses, being calculated, from its 

 extreme hardness, to resist the wear incident to ordinary Plas- 

 tering. For Floors it has a threefold advantage over Stone- 

 paving. 1st, in its lightness; one inch in thickness of KflftNB'l 

 Cement sufficing where 2 to 3 inch flagging would be employed. 

 _\ext, in its appearance, combining, as it does, the hardness of 

 stone with a uniform colour and even surface free from joints • 

 and lastly, in economy, being one-third the price of Portland 

 paving. 



The mo^t conclusive evidence can be given of the utility of 

 Kbbnr's Cement for the^e purposes by the Patentees and Manu- 

 facturers. — John Bazlky White and Sons, Millbank-street

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



1844. Gentlemen,— Of the last supply of Olorioge's Balm 



of Columbia every bottle was sold immediately on receipt, and 

 I have many more bespoke, only waiting for a further supply, 

 which I hope you will send without the least delay. 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 j 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, 

 John Kilvinton. — To Messrs. Kennaby, Brothers, 10, West- 

 moreland-buildings, Aldersgate-street, London. 



OLDRIDGE'S BALM prevents the hair turning gray, produces 

 a beautiful curl, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off; 

 a few Bottles generally restore it again. Price 3*. 6d. 9 6s. . and 

 11*. per bottle. Xo other prices are genuine. Ask for OLDRIDGE'S, 

 BALM of COLUMBIA, 1. W ellin gton-street. Str and.
