obtained of any Ironmonger or Plumber in town or country, at 

 tbe advertised prices. 



John Warner <£? Sons having been practical Horticulturists 

 for many years, know exactly the requirements of both Amateurs 

 and Gardeners. A gardener with a properly constructed pump 

 will get through as much work in five minutes as he could with 

 any Syringe in a quarter of an hour, and with half the labour to 

 himself. Syringes are economical for small houses. 



No establishment offers such a variety of eftective machines for

 found from its durability and cheapness of the greatest 

 utility for Painting Hurdles, \V ire-work. Palings, Gates, Fences, 

 <fcc, and ont-door work of every description, whether of Wood or 

 Iron. Its value has been proved by the test of time. It should 

 be well stirred up before using and applied cold. This Varnish 

 will retain its quality for any length ot time, provided tbe cask 

 be kept closed. 



May be obtained through any ironmonger ; or of John Warner

The attention of our readers will be directed to 

 the valuable paper by Mr. Scott read before the 

 English Agricultural Society last AVednesday, which 

 we publish in another column. It is an exceedingly 

 instructive account of the writer's own long and 

 extensive experience, and that of others, on this 

 important subject, which, thanks to Mt. Horsfall, 

 has occupied so much attention this season. The 

 points referred to are the relative profitableness 

 of churning from cream and whole milk — the 

 relative merits of several dairy breeds of cattle 



the application of machinery to the manipulation 

 of butter previous to sale— the defects of dairy 

 management in Ireland and elsewhere as compared 

 with what is prevalent in Holland — and the rich- 

 ness of milk and cream respectively in connection 

 with several modes of feeding. On all these par- 

 ticulars the paper is remarkably instructive, and 

 deserves a careful perusal. 



There are large tracts of barren land and of 

 land comparatively infertile, owing to the very light 

 sandy character of their soils ; and there are districts 

 which have been thus infertile, but are so no longer. 

 It is worth while to consider the history of such 

 improved soils, as it must relate the method by 

 which a very serious cause of infertility in this 

 country can be best overcome. The Holkham 

 estates in West Norfolk are a district of this kind, 

 and Lord Spencer has related their history in the third 

 volume of the Agricultural Society's Journal. Eighty 

 years ago, when Mr. Coke came into possession of 

 this property, all the land round Holkham was un- 

 enclosed ; it let for 3s. per acre, and could not be re- 

 let for more. The sandy soil, weak naturally, was im- 

 poverished by the treatment it received at the hands 



unintelligent tenantry. In 



order to get it into better condition, it was necessary 



both that manure should be applied, and that 



j the soil should be strengthened minerally ; crops 



might then be grown on which an increased stock 

 could be kept, and these w^ould furnish the manure 

 by which the increased fertility should be rendered 

 permanent. Rape- cake was applied as a top- 

 dressing, in order to provide the organic portion of 

 a fertile soil, and the marl which lay beneath was 

 excavated and applied so as to provide the deficient 



mineral portion of a fertile soil : " This," says Lord
