will be. delivered in the college, and the farm at Flemington will be 
placed in connection with the department. This farm is quite a model 
one. It contains 460 acres of land. In its byres are at present over 
100 cows, and on its pastures between 300 and 400 sheep. All manner 
of crops are grown on the best and most improved methods. Steam ma¬ 
chinery and implements of the most expensive description are employed, 
and no necessary expense is spared to bring the land and the animals 
upon it to the highest state of cultivation and breeding. I look forward 
to immense practical benefits being conferred upon the community at 
large, as well as upon our future generations of farmers by this school 
of instruction. 
At the close of the address a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Dr. 
Knox, on the motion of the Chairman; and on the motion of Principal 
McCall a similar compliment was paid to Dr. Adams for presiding.—
