 will retain its quality lor any length ot time, provided the cask 

 be kept closed.

WATERPROOF PATHS^ 

 BARN AND CATTLE SHED FLOORS. 



THOSE who would enjoy their Gardens during the 

 winter months should construct their walks of PORTLAND 

 CEMENT CONCRETE, which are formed thusi-Screen the 

 gravel of which the path is at present made from the loam which 

 is mixed with it, and to every part of clean gravel add one of aharp 

 river sand. To five parts of such equal mixture add one of Port- 

 land Cement, and incorporate the whole well in the dry state before 

 applying the water. It may then be laid on 2 inches thick. Any 

 labourer can mix and spread it. No tool is required beyond the 

 spade, and in 48 hours it becomes as hard as a rock. Vegetation 

 cannot grow through or upon it, and it re ts the action of the 

 severest frost. It is necessary, as water does not soak through it, 

 to give a fall from the middle of the path towards the sides. 



The same preparation makes first-rate paving for BARNS, 

 CATTLE-SHEDS, FARM-YARDS, and all other situations 

 where a clean, hard bottom is a desideratum. May be laid in 

 winter equally well as in summer.

MEETINGS FOR TBE ENSUING WEEK. 

 Wednesday, July 18— Agricultural Society of England. 



* 



Agriculturists generally, and the members 

 of the Agricultural Society of England especially, 

 will hear of the death of Mr. Pusey as of the loss 

 of a friend. No one has done more of late years 

 for the true interests of the agriculturist, and in 

 no one of its members has the National Agri- 

 cultural Society so justly and so fully placed its 

 confidence. It has been through this Society 

 chiefly that Mr. Pusey's efforts for the agricul- 

 tural good of his country have been made ; but 

 to his career in Parliament as well, tenant 

 farmers generally look with gratitude. His efforts 

 as a legislator on behalf of tenant right, more 

 perhaps than any other labour of his public life, 

 made him their leader, though we believe their 

 gratitude is due even more for his purely agri- 

 cultural career. His reports of agriculture gene- 

 rally, and of local agriculture in particular— his 

 own contributions to the improvement of i^s 

 practice and to the discussion of its theory, and, 

 above all, the sober-minded judgment under 

 which all the contributions to the Journal have 

 been passed, so that under his editorship it 

 has become the most useful and most instructive 

 periodical that agriculturists have ever read : 

 these are what most justly bind the gratitude 

 of British agriculturists to the memory of their 

 friend and benefactor— Philip Pusey. 



Gentlemen! engaged as judges of field-imple- 

 ments at Carlisle; whoever you may be, we beg 

 your attention on behalf of the great novelty upon 

 which you will be called to adjudicate, that is, the 

 steam-cultivator. While rejecting the presumption 

 that steam-tillage can be " written up," or that the 

 publication of vague generalities and undemonstrated 

 opinions can materially help inventors to solve their 

 difficulties, we hold it to be strictly within our pro- 

 vince to point out the principles upon which your 

 judgment should be based, and state the conditions
