iv Report to the General Meeting. 
3rd. The different modes of applying manure in autumn and 
spring. 
4th. The nature and physiology of cultivated turnips, being a 
continuation of his experiments connected with this subject. 
The Council has determined to amend the wording of the rule 
regulating the members' privilege of analysis, so as to prevent 
dealers or manufacturers of manures availing themselves of the 
reduced scale of charges which has been secured for the benefit 
of such members as may require analyses bond fide for their own 
personal use as agriculturists. 
The Warwick Meeting (to be held in the week commencing 
Monday, July 11th) promises to be of a highly interesting cha- 
racter. The arrangements for the meeting are steadily pro- 
gressing. The entries for implements are so extremely large as 
to require six sheds to be added to last year's plans, in the imple- 
ment department alone ; and the applications for space in the 
yard devoted to " machinery at work " are also far greater than 
on any former occasion. The numerous applications for certifi- 
cate-forms that are being received daily indicate that the live- 
stock portion of the show will at least be equal to any former 
exhibition. 
The local committee at Warwick, having declined to under- 
take the arrangements and liabilities connected with the dinner 
during the Society's meeting, the Council has determined to 
adhere to the resolution of last year — not to take these responsi- 
bilities on itself on the present occasion. The special attention 
of the General Warwick Committee has been directed to the 
subject of the supply of refreshments for visitors in the show- 
yard during the exhibition ; and such arrangements have already 
been made and are still in progress as, it is hoped, will secure 
to the public due accommodation in this respect at a fixed tariff 
of charges. 
Since the Society first prominently drew attention to the im- 
portant subject of the application of steam-power to the cultiva- 
tion of the soil, by offering a special prize of large amount, 
several inventions and improvements have been brought before 
the public; and the advancement made was such as to lead tlie 
Council to award the prize of 500/. at the Chester Meeting last
