The objects cnnitcnniplzntcil by the promoters oftliis Society, were the t‘ollowi.ii_:,——-to i'1ill|l‘fI the bust infor- nniitioii that coul-.l be pl':7clll'C(l for the .»\gricnnlt1ii'i.~'ts of me (/‘Ql.,\;])',-—I() t'un'ini.~:li them with all niccc;<s:in'y seeds at the lowest possible cost, and to inniport Stock ofthc best breeds froini other Cotintrics, in order that the native breeds should be innprovcd, and a character establislicd for our live stock in the neighbouring Provinces.

Your (Ioniiinittce have enileavoini-ed to carry out these good intentions, and altliougln tlncre is still roonn for innprovennciit, they conceive, that the general results which have attended its laboiirs, are such as to afford much presenit cause for congratulationi and great en- couragement for the future prospects of the farming population of this Island. \Vlio can be blind to tlno advantages derived from the annually increasing an extensive cultivation of the Tun-nip? \Vho can deny the improvement that has taken place of late years in the condition of our Cattle, Sheep and Pigs; and does not the great demand for our Horses, and the prices which they have realized, prove that the attention of the neighbouring Provinces to this particular Stock has been excited, and its character appreciated?

The extent to which the growth of the Turnip has been carried, is evidenced by the increase in the annual Sales of seed at the Depot of the Society and its Branches, being:

in the year 1852, l430lbs. “ I853, 2540 " 1854, 3020

and for the ensuing season 5000lbs. have been already inn rted, and an order forwarded to England for an ad itional quantity to be shipped in the Spring. For the Premiums offered last year there were, inn Queen’s County, twenty-seven Competitors, and the average yield per acre was 900 bushels. In proportion to the increase in the ciiltivati in of this valuable root, nnay be witnessed the iinpi-ovcnncnit in our Sheep and Cattle, and the Dairy comes in for its fair proportion. And so long as the Legislature exhibits its inuiniﬁconce by granting so large a portion of the Public Revenue for the importation of Horses, no fear need be enter- tatnod, that the character established for this descrip- tion of the Live Stock of the Island will be lost. Tho

I‘Iul'scs imported in 17453, your Coniinnittcc have reason to believe, have given saiisfactioii, and the young Stock are pronnisinig and likely to be suitable fnr.tlne wziiits oftlie Isluind l3'an'ninci‘ as well as for vxportatnoni

At the Easter Slnow of Fat Cattle to be held on the 4th of next monntli, l’i-izcs to the ainount of L‘lU are offered to be couiprtcd for by Island-bred Stallions, or wliicln the Coniiinittce hope to see a good compe- tition.

Your Committee, having reason to believe that false reports are fnequently put in circulation of the value of Agricultural produce in the various parts to which the produce of this Island is shipped, whereby inijury might occur to the interests of the farmer, lnavo made arrangements to receive correct information on the subject, which will be published, as received, in the Charlottetown newspapers, to which they would direct the attention of the farmers.

The Annual Exhibition of the Industrial Manufac- tures and Agricultural Products, was held on the 1st November. The quality of the various articles did not exhibit any marked improvement upon preceding Shows, but it is worthy of note,that the First Prize for Cloth was on this occasion awarded to a piece dyed, dressed, and ﬁnished at a Mill on Prince Edward Island.

Since your Committee presented their last Report, the subject of Agricultural Chemistry has been brought to the notice of the Farmers, in various parts ofthc Island, by Mr. Stiirk, a gentlemiin who has been on- gaged by the Government, as \_'isitor of Sclnools, combining with that office the duties of Lecturer on Agricultural (,‘licuii~itry. Being tlnc first year of Mr. Stark’s labours, your Connniittce do not feel themselves in a osition to make any extended rennarks on the subject, hint would refer the Members of the Society, and others interested, to Mr. Stark’s Report of his proceedings in the capacity of Lecturer on Agricultu- ral Chemistry, (a copy of which will be annexed to this Report). Your Committee trust that his labor in

ltlnis depirtiniciit of science may prove oftlnat benefit to ‘the .-tgi-icinltnirists of this Island, tparticularlv by in- b structiop to the young genni-ratioii),wliich they e_\-'pe,.i_ .,en.ec of other CnnIllIll‘lcS (‘.Ilj,{tlj_I_'t‘tl iii .~‘igi-icinlturul pup- I stills. ll[)1)(‘.ttl‘\' to \\‘tll't‘tlllt.

HINT! ro Yooso L.u>iss.—A great deal of timo is wasted in winter, in hovering over the fire and talkin of the cold, in delaying to set about a piece of mu- because it requires one to leave the room. But a little resolution will remedy all this. You can make your- self as comfortablo by taking your work or book, and sitting at a moderate distance from the fire, as by hanging idly over it; and if you run off briskly after what you need, the exercise will warm you better than the parlour-fire.

AConinn:sroxosN'r says:—"You ask, were Lord Raglan to scale the walls of Sebastopol alone, would that be considered a General assault?” I answer, two or three months ago it would; but now it could only be regarded as a very indifferent Manhal (martial) assault.
