Though Mr.. Coke, of N orfoh, in England, has long
been known us one of the most successful agrlculluT
lists in the world we were not aware that his estates
in the hands of tenants, and managed according 10
his directions and system of husbandy, had been 50
productive appears in the following extract OF Inc
Address of John Lowell, Esq. President OF the
Massachusetts Agricultural Society, delivered at the
late Cattle Show at Brighton.


Mr.. Coke, Of Norfolk, whose name ought to DC
familiar with every American well as British TAR
mer, inherited some 35 years since, great landed
estate in Norfolk the whole rental OF which was
only $4,000, OF $500 year; being an active anu
intelligent man, he introduced the Tullian husbana'
ry, which consists in frequent rotations OF crops
and in sowing in drills in short, IN more
spirited use of the plough and other improved III
struments. In the lifetime of this one man. and ne
is still alive, by the plough alone and by adopting
proper SUGGESTIONS of plans he has raised his rent
al from $500 to 100000 year in other woros'
increased the value of his estate "a times. NO
specuations in banks, mining discoveries-no'
not even Potos in its virgin state, when silver was
found upon the surface, can show such an 'p-
preciation of property as has been produceu y
skill, enlightened skill, applied to the surface
Yet all this has been effected by tenants ho'
o7rners Of the soil, but under lease for q years
subject to the hazards of refusal to rene" 'ne
lease, by less enlightened heir. These are 'a'p'
not to be disputed, and they prove that agriculture
in the short space of mans life, has undergone
improvements of which antiquity has no conceP'
ton.'
