The Philadelphia Agricultural Society has heard favorable accounts of a Plowing Machine invented in Lancaster county, which they are anxious to have tried. At the late meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society Of England, held at Chester, numerous implements for this purpose were exhibited, and the practical advantages of steam culture were tested, proving the adaptability of the power. We hope some of our agricultural papers will publish the report. No award of a premium took place, though Fowler's invention seems to stand first. It plowed five acres a day, at a cost of 9s. English per acre. Great attention is now paid in England to Pulping Machines, for reducing food for cattle to an easily digested state. It is not a little curious that Mrs Loudon should have died just as Plowing Machines are about being perfected. In her first book, the novel of "The Mummy," she attracted the attention of J. C. Loudon, by asserting that the age of Plowing Machines was at hand.

Mrs. Loudon's "Lady's Companion to the Flower Garden" has had a circulation of 20,000 copies in England. It may be added, that her tastes are inherited by Miss Agnes Loudon, her only daughter, who is the authoress of several children's books, and various tales and sketches. Mrs. Loudon was in the enjoyment of a pension of £100 per annum, granted to her in recognition of the literary services rendered by herself and husband. A hope is expressed very strongly, and properly, that it may be continued to the daughter.
