a larger quantity of wheat than was probably 
ever grown upon any farm of the same num- 
ber of acres. ‘The green crops were much 
injured by the wet: the President stated he 
had reason to betieve, from an experiment 
he was conducting, that the earth had been 
chilled upwards of ten degrees below the me- 
dium heat of common years. On Thursday 
condition and appearance were much. ap- 
proved, and, except to weigh once a fortnight, 
they had not been let out for twelve months. 
' Fourteen ploughs with two oxen each, driven 
with reins, started for a premium given by 
the President: their docility, and the man- 
ner in which they performed the work, sur- 
prised and pleased the meeting. On Friday 
the judges decided upon the respective merits

A ploughing-match with horses and oxen 
for the second premium was adjudged to the 
oxen. The exhibition of stock was not very 
,fumerous: the amateurs of the long-horned 
cattle were much surprised at the result of 
the experiments. The benefits derived from 
this institution are conspicuous in every part 
of the county; the progress made in agricul. 
ture during the two last years. is striking. 
Happy would it be for the nation at large, if 
more of the great landed proprietors would 
follow the example set them by the President 
of the Workington Agricultural Society. On 
Monday the whole of the persons employed 
upon the farra, with the shearers, amounting — 
_ to 300, were entertained at the Schoose, tes- 
— 
tifying, by their mirth and thankfulness, their 
gratitude for the bounteous store bestowed by 
Providence. The following Premiums were 
adjudged by the Society :
