PARLIAMENTARY.I
PARLIAMENTARY. I MONDAY. In the House of Commons Sir J. Gorst, in answer to several questions, said it would not be practicable to introduce clauses dealing with the superannua- tion of teachers into the Education Bill, and the I Government did not see there way to introduce a Pension Bill until after the provisions of the Education Bill had been settled by the House. In reply to Mr. P. A. M'Hugh, Mr. Balfour said the question of an amnesty to the Irish treason-felony prisoners had already been discussed this session, and the decision of the Home Secretary given upon it. He did not, therefore, think it would be possi- ble under present circumstances to reopen a debate on the same subject. Sir W. Wedderburn asked the Secretary for India if he would diallow the Cotton Duties Act, 1896, and the Act to amend the Indian Tariff Act of 1894, on the ground that they increased the burden of taxation on the poorest class in India, while lightening the burden on those who were comparatively well-to-do. Lord G. Hamilton said the additional taxation upon a very small proportion of the cotton cloth consumed in India represented an infinitesimally small increase 'of cost to the individual purchaser, while, on the other hand, the duty on yarns had been abolished. Under all the circumstances he did not propose to advise the Government of India to remit the duties recently imposed by the Legislature. Not regarding the answer as satisfactory, Sir W. Wedderburn moved the adjournment of the House. The whole of the Opposition, except the front bench, rose in support of the motion, and Sir W. Wedderburn proceeded to call attention to the effect of the Indian cotton duties as recently rearranged, which were said to be" causing grave dissatisfaction in India by increasing the burden of taxation imposed on the poorest classes of con- sumers." Sir J. Leng seconded the motion; which after statement by Lord G. Hamilton and Sir H. Fowler, was withdrawn. The House then went into Committee on the Agricultural Land Rating Bill, and resumed the consideration of the amend- ment proposed by Mr. Chancing providing that the rates should be divided between the owner and occupier. After a debate in which Sir W. Harcourt, Mr. A. J. Balfour, and Mr. Courtney took part, the last-named strongly supporting tlieamendment, Mr. Balfour moved the closure. The motion was carried by 209 votes to 107, and the amendment was then rejected by 223 votes to 113. TUESDAY. In the House of Commons Sir M. Hicks-Beach said the question as to who was to bear the extraordinary expenses of the Indian contingent at Saukim was a matter of arrangement between the English and Egyptian Governments. In answer to Mr Bowles, Sir M. Beach said the amount of estate duty received last year was about £ 7,530,000. Asked by Mr E. Robertson what precedents the Government had followed in proposing to refer the investigation into the conduct of the British South Africa Company to a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament, Mr Chamberlain said the form of the inquiry which the Government proposed to institute had not yet been finally decided. If it was to be an inquiry into the past administration of the Chartered Company and the desirableness of continuing to entrust it with the large powers which it still possessed, a Parliamentary Committee would appear to be best suited for that purpose. If, on the other hand. a judicial inquiry into the raid and the circumstances connected with it was all that was desired, there would be some'-evident advant- ages in a Statutory Commission. Assuming that a Parliamentary Committee were "decided upon it appeared that Joint Committees'fwere frequently appointed before 1695,but were intermitted between that date and 1864. In that year Parliament reverted to the plan of Joint Committees, which had frequently sat since that date. On going into committee on the Agricultural Land Rating Bill the consideration of Mr Jeffrey's amendment by giving the relief to land together with the build- ings thereon used solely for agricultural purposes." Mr Jeffrey's amendment was negatived without a division and Mr Luttrell's amendment was then rejected by 326 votes to 53. Mr D. Thomas proposed an amend- ment providing that accommodation land should be axempted from the operation of the bill. Mr Chaplin accepted the principle of the amendment, but considered that this was not the right place in the bill to insert it. The amendment was, by leave, withdrawn. Mr Robson moved an amendment to restrict the scope of the bill to cases of exceptional agricultural distress, and to omit all highly rented land. The amendment was rejected by 146 volfs to 63. Mr Thomas having withdrawn an amend- ment standing in his name, the Chairman called on Mr Harrison. Mr A. J. Balfour, interposing, moved the closure. The Chairman, in accepting the motion, explained that a number of amendments standing in Mr Harrison's name were out of order. The closure was carried by 118 votes to 64. The Committee again divided on the question that the words in the first three and a half lines stand part of the clause, and the motion was carried by 120 votes to 63. Mr D. Thomas next moved an amend- ment to the effect that the occupier of agricultural land should be liable for three-fourths of the rates instead of half, as provided by the bill. The amendment was rejected by 154 votes to 78. The House of Lords spent some time to- day in discussing Kord Halifax's bill to prevent the marriage of divorced persons in buildings belong- ing to the Church of England. Lord Grimthorpc moved, but the House would not adopt, an amend- ment prohibiting any pereon who had beeu found guilty of adultery or any crime for which marriage might be dissolved from being married again any- where. The two Archbishops took part in the debate, and the bill eventually passed through Committee. Subsequently, after passing several useful bills through Committee, their Lordships adjourned. WEDN«SDAY_ The Agricultural Land Rating Bill was again considered in Committee in the House of Commons on Wednesday. On clause 1 Mr Lloyd-George moved an amendment to provide that relief should be given only in the case of land out of which, owing to depression in agriculture, no rent had been derived for three years next before the passing of the Act. The amendment was rejected by 190 votes to 82. The Chairman (Mr. J. W. Lowther) then ruled a page and a half of amendments out of order on the ground that they proposed alterations in the general law of assessment and the law of landlord and tenant, and also that the Committee had already decided in the bill that the occupier should only be liable to half the rate. Mr. Lloyd- George moved an amendment to except the poor rate from the operation of the bill. The amendment was supported by Sir H. Fowier and Sir W. Har- court, both of whom described the proposal in the bill as a first step towards a national poor rate. Mr Goschen said that if he thought the bill would be a step towards the nationalisation of the poor rate he would be thoroughly against it. There was, however, nothing ia the bill that went beyond what had been done before. After further debate Mr. Balfour moved the closure, which was carried by 238 votes to 119, and the amendment was re- jected by 246 votes to 112. Two minor amend- ments having been withdraw.1, the question was put that clause 1 stand part of the bill. Mr. J. A. Pease moved its rejection. Mr Balfour again moved the closure, which was earned by 249 votes to 117, and the motion that the clause should stand part of the bill was carried by 248 votes to 111. The clause was then agreed to, progress was reported, and the House resumed. Mr. Balfour announced that he should move to suspend the twelve o'clock rule the following day in the hope of getting the bill through the same night. If they were able to do that he should propose that the House should meet at twelve o'clock on Friday, and the Govern- ment would put down some absolutely uncontro- versial measures and adjourn the House immedi- ately afterwards. On that supposition the holidays would extend from the Friday to the following Monday week. If they did not get the bill through on Friday he should ask the House to meet again the following week to continue the discussion. The House shortly afterwards adjourned. Thursday. In the House of Commons, Col Russell asked Mr Chamberlain if he had received any confirmation of the sentences passed upon the leaders of the reform movement at Pretoria, Mr Chamberlain referred the hon. member to the telegrams pub- lished in the papers. With regard to the treatment of the prisoners in gaol, he said he had not seen any suggestion that the insanity and suicide of one of the prisoners in gaol, was due to the severity and hardships of imprisonment. lIe had received a telegram from the British Agent at Pretoria stating that the President of the South African Republic had promised that special gaol rules and regulation would be immediately framed, and also that the housing and accommodation would be vastly improved. The final sentences upon the four men who had been condemned to death would be considered next week. Questioned as to the course of business Mr. A. J. Balfour said that on the sUPPOsition that the Agri- cultural Land Rating Bill passed through Com- mittee that night, on Monday week the the Light Railways Bill would be the first order and the Finance Bill the second. On the Tuesday the Diseases of Animals Bill would be the first order and the Finance Bill the second. On the Thursday the resolution with regard to the employment of Indian troops would be taken- The Monday of the following week would be devoted to the Irish Land Bill. Mr Balfour proposed the suspension of the 12 o'clock rule, so that the debate on the Agricultural Rating Bill might proceed after midnight. The motion was carried by 215 votes to 103. The House then went into committee on the Agricultural Land Rating Bill. On Clause 2, which provides for the payment out of the local taxation account in respect of the deficiency arising from the exemption granted under the previous clause Mr Lloyd George moved a drafting amendment to provide that, the amount to be paid to the local authorities should be described as paid to made up the differ- ence and not the deficiency" in the rates. After some debate, the Solicitor- General pro- mised that the points raised should receiveicareful consideration before the report stage of the bill, and Mr Lloyd-George thereupon withdrew his amendment. Mi Chaplin next proposed that the payment out of the Local Taxation Account in respect of the deficiency should be I- during the con- tinuance of this Act," and the motion was carried by 223 votes to It 12. The Chairman ruled out, of order Sir H. Fowler's amendment requi^g that the pay- ments under the bill should be out of funds provided by Parliament. Mr Lloyd-George proposed that the sum paid into the Local Taxation Account in respect of the deficiency should not exceed ,E 1.300,1:00. After some discussion Mr Balfour moved the closure, which was carried by 183 votes to 84, and the amendment was rejected by 182 votes to 81. Sir W. Harcourt, on behalf of Sir H. Fowle-, moved to omit sub-section 3, which provided that the Inland Revenue Commissioners should pay as the Treasury directed, the amount of the local grant to the Local Taxation Account out of the proceods of the estate duty derived in England from personal property. Sir M. Hicks- Beach, after a brief discussion, moved that the question be put, but the Chairman refused to accept the motion, and eventually the amendment was rejected by 180 votes against 91.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. ! ___)
AGRICULTURAL NOTES. CBOPS AND LIVE STOCK. Another week of hot droughty weather has to be recorded, and its effects must continue to be telt far into the season. In the early half of the week the wind shifted from the cold regions whence it had blown so long and afternoon temperatures in the fields became like furnace heat. Excepting very locally, however, the change of wind did not bring the rain which is everywhere so urgently needed, though at the closa of the week the atmosphere looked decidedly less settled than has been the case for many days, and there appeared to be a premise of rain. A thorough soaking is needed, for light passing showers would do as much harm as good, considering the extensive breadths of seed now in the ground awaiting the moisture- necessary to germination. The fate of the hay crop in upland meadows is practically settled, and farmers are seriously debating the expediency of mowing the thin growth of rapidly-maturing herbage forthwith in the hope of getting some com- pensation for a light cut of hay in a generous growth of aftermath, which a dripping-June-should we be fortunate enough to get it—would promote. Since the cold winds abated the nights have been'warmer and there are plenty of indications that for mid- May the season is well advanced. Trifolium is in tassel, meadow clover is in bloom, vetches and field peas have opened their flowers, and the air is odorous with the scent of the bean blossom, whilst the scarlet petals of the poppy are every day coming more into evidence. Wheat continues to bear up well under the privations of drought, but the other cereals are visibly suffering. Field cabbage, the extensive leaf system of which makes heavy demands upon soil moisture, is prac- tically at a standstill. Whilst the present food requirements of sheep and dairy cows are we" provided for, anxiety is making itself felt as to an adequate provision of fodder during the hot days at the other end of midsummer. The washing and shearing of sheep are affording occupation, though the former practice is less resorted to than used to be the case. Lambs are being weaned, and the nightly clamour from their pens contrast markedly with the drowsy tin klings that erstwhile were heard. The store stock trade has received a check owing to the drought, but though graziers are buy- ing in stores at lower prices than seemed probable a year ago the pastoral outlook has, it must be remembered, changed for the worse during the interval. Not only in England, but in France, Spain, and other countries of Western Europe the situation is giving rise to feelings of serious appre- hension. The swine-fever record for the week ended May 9 was agafn a Jseavy one, as many as 141 outbreaks having been reported, made up of 127 ill 33 coun- ties of England, nine in six counties of Wales, and five in five counties of Scotland. The number of swine slaughtered on account of the disease was 2,043, of which 1,873 were in England, 36 in Wales, and 134 in Scotland. THE IMPROVEMENT OF PASTURE LAND. The improvement of pasture land is often spoken of as if it was a work of immense difficulty—that it presented obstacles almost impossible to over- come. This is not the case. The improvement of pasture lands is a question more of cost than of difficulty. If an owner or occupier is justified in spending the mon,y-and in some cases he would be—he can soon alter for the better a pasture which may not only be indifferent, but simply bad. And it may be done without breaking up the sward. In the volume of transactions of the High- land and Agricultural Society, published this week, there is an article on this subject. The writer details the operations followed in improving some land on the estate of the Earl of Stair, in Wigtown- shire. They were simply those adopted generally by men who can afford the outlay; they were the grazing of the fields with cattle, to which a liberal allowance of corn or cake was given the dragging up of the moss which smothered the grasses, the application of artificial manure and compost, followed by the sowing of new seeds after severe harrowing. It is a pity, in an experiment like this, that an application of sulphate of iron was not made to destroy the moss, as it is claimed it will, and it might then have been possible to have escaped the cost of the labour of dragging, harrow- ing, and seeding. That is the result, as pointed out recently in this column, which the use of sulphate of iron brings about. There is no better way to improve pastures without breaking them up than by keeping upon them stock liberally supplied with cake or corn. Whether it will pay at present prices of meat is quite another matter. BREEDING OR BUYING STOCK. As long as human nature is what it is, there will probably never be an entire agreement on any single topic. Even the clearest questions create variation in different minds. That being so, it is not. surprising that feeders of live stock should fail to be in accord as to whether it is best to buy store cattle for feeding, or to breed them; and further, whether it is more profitable to feed home raised animals or those which could be supplied from Canada and the United States. This is a matter which has been emphasised during the controversy on the proposal of the Board of Agriculture to require all cattle to be slaughtered at the port of debarkation. The President is wise to be firm on this point, notwithstanding Lord Burghclere's opposition to the proposal. Now what is the opinion of British farmers on the matter of feeding home-bred and imported stock ? A very short time ago I collected the experiences of a large number of farmers on this very point, and the pre- ponderance was in favour of home bred stock for feeding purposes. The point raised was not how the introduction of colonial stock might affect the value of home-bred animals, but on which class the most profit could be obtained. Notwithstanding that certain East Anglian and Scottish farmers profess to be able to make the greater profit out of feeding Canadian stock, the majority were of just the contrary opinion. They pointed out that there is little difference in first cost whether bought or grown, but the latter are more generally ready to thrive and prove when they have been well kept from the time of birth, and have not had to undergo the vicissitudes incidental to marketing, shipment, &c. This divergence of interests on the breeding and feeding of cattle indicates that times and ways are changed and changing. There have always been men who buy to feed, but there appears to be a greater proportion of this class than there used to be. Now the fashion is to split up the farming industry, the two stages of breeding and feeding being carried out by different individuals. There is a tendency manifest, in all trades and industries to break them up into sections or departments. But there is less necessity for the process in farm- ing, as nearly everything can be provided on the farm for the growth and maturity of the cattle. It is not so in manufactures, where raw material has to be collected from many different sources. The combined breeder and feeder is the man who is in a position to earn the most profit. HOEING CORN. Many a crop has been saved in droughty seasons like the present by timely hoeing. The loosening and opening of the soil causes moisture to be re- tained that will feed plants which, if left alone, would dwindle or fade away. Land that is effec- tively and constantly hoed soon becomes free from weeds. This may be seen most strikingly in fields which are over-run with charlock. The cardinal point is not to allow weeds to run to seed. Cropping and ti lage are important matters if the best results in cleaning land are to be obtained but by them- selves these will be found quite inefficient if that indispensable implement, the hoe, is not brought into active and regular use. Of course, there is a tendencv to spend as little as possible m labour, but it should not be forgotten that if money is saved in one way it is lost in another for crops and weeds must not be allowed to grow together if the former are to be worth anything. Weeds take up a portion of the manure intended for other plants, and are thus strengthened to act as foes the more they thrive the greater enemies they become to those which they assail and in a great measure sup- plant. On land full of couch no good crop of wheat can be obtained nor of potatoes where thistles abound; yet how many fields are to be found affected in this way, through neglect in cleaning in the autumn and the use of the hoe in the spring. ANOT IER, REASON FOR CLEAN LAND. Apart from taking away matter intended for the nourishment of the regular crops, and the deterrent effect they have by crowding and pushing where they are not wanted, weeds are the source of another trouble and danger. They become the vehicles of crop diseases. The worst are those of the cruciferous kind, such as charlock, shepherd s nn-se &c On these the fungus which causes tur- • is kept alive, and mildew of turnips and cabbages is propagated by them, as well as by „ nrPgS and other similar weeds.

The Shrewsbury store stock sale on Tnursday was conducted in scorching sunshine under a cloud- less sky, conditions which niiyht well render buyers cautious. Prices, accordingly, were lower than at the Aprii sale, but probably quite as high as the state of the weather, coupled with the low values current for fat cattle, would appear to justifv. Nearly 900 head of well-bred cattle were brought into the sale-ring, and the following were the prices realised per cwt, live weight: -Angus-Shorthorn cross-bred bullocks and heifers, 34s 6d, 33s lO.Vd, 33s 5-kl, 338 5 £ d, 33s 3d, 32s laid, 32s 3jd, a 4 4 32s 3d, 328 2-jjd, 31s lold, 31s 6d, 31" 3 1 d, 30s 8jd, 30s 7d, 30s 2rl, 39s 6Jd, 29s 6d, 4 2 4 29s 2Jd; Shorthorn cattle. 33s 8id to 23s 2 Hereford cattle, 33s 7d to 30s 9d WelsTi and cross- bred, 34s 6:1, to 25s 6d. The Angus-Shorthorns were all from Ireland, and were mostly consigned by Lord Ashtown, the Hon. W. C. Trench, and Col. Overend Digby. Most of the buvers followed closely the live weight tables supplied by the auctioneers. Men who are capable judges of quality can undoubtedly reap much benefit by attending a sale where all the cattle are weighed before entering the ring. POULTRY FARMING. Where are our poultry farmers ? During 1895 tne L nited Kingdom imported 1.526 million eggs, valued at X4,-303,440. Tiius, four million a day, or 40 per cent. of the eggs consumed in the United Kingdom, come from abroad. The largest quantity come from Russia and Austro-Hungary, but (as Mr J. V. Swan shows in an interesting paper just published) most are from Russia. The Board of Trade returns puts down Germany as sending us eggs but in fact the eggs made in Germany come from Hungary; while Russia supplies Austria with a large proportion of its Hungarian export. The advance of Russia is as notable in its egg-tupply for export as in anythit,jz el-e :— 1870 11 millions 1880 77 millions 1885 235 millions 1890 755 millions 1895 1,250 millions These Russian eggs are purchased in Russia for from 2s 4d to 4s 5d per 120, or from threepence to fiveponce per dozen. They arrive here from five to six weeks old, and are bought by the retailer at from 8s to 4s per 120. We cannot say what the consumer pays.-St. James's Gazette.

THE "COOKERIES." The Universal Cookery and Food Exhibition is held this year at the Imperial Institute, a removal having thus been made from the Portman Rooms. Bovril, Limited, London, make a really novel display. This is chiefly pro. vided by the exhibition of samples of the prepared foods taken by Dr. Nansen, the Jackson-Harmsworth, and Well. man Arctic Expeditions, as well as those supplied to Captain Selous, the great South African hunter. Those made by Bovril, Limited, for the former explorers, include several specially prepared emergency foods of a kind suited to the regions in which they had to travel, as well as some lime juice nodules "—intended as a safeguard against scrofula and packets of compressed tea. Like these, having a power to support, incommensurate with their bulk, were the army and navy emergency foods as ordered by Her Majesty's Government and used in the Chitral and Ashanti campaigns, consisting of "ration cartridges" having a chocolate base, so that meat and drink are contained together, whilst a specially prepared meat-biscuit is puc up" with them in a manner which enables a soldier to carry two days' provisions in a corner of his knapsack, and with no appreciable addition to the weight. Of course, the Company's principal speciality, ,Bovril,w was well to the front, and it fully maintains its superiority as a stimulating strengthening beverage, or for economically preparing nourishing soups, savoury sauces, rich gravies, and all made dishes.
