THE FARMERS' CIRCLE. (BY ONE WITHIN IT.) A curious hybrid, a cross between a turkey- and a Dorking, was shown by Mr R. Hill at, the late Nottingham Show. In colour the bird was lighter than a cinnamon Malay, and had white hackles striped with black, a single fresh-looking comb, and the whitest of legs, and five-tot d feet. In size the bird was between a large hea and small turkey, while her tail, shape, and carriage followed the hen turkey. At a meeting of the Cheshire Chamber of Agriculture Mr R. P. Ward, gave an ad- dress upon the dairy industry of Denmark, which country he has recently visited. Mr Ward believes, notwithstanding the hold which Danish butter has obtained of the English market, that the Cheshire farmer possesses superior cattle and superior pas- turage, and if he carried on his dairying operations as systematically as his Danish rival he need not fear competition. On Thursday the first meeting of the Agricultural Commission was held at 23, Great George-street, Westminster, Mr Shaw- Lefevre in the chair. There were present Lord Cobham, Mr Chaplin, M.P. Sir NigeTi Kingscote, K.C.B., Mr Giffin, C.B., r, Elton, Q.O., Captain Owen Thomas, Mr Clay, Mr Dalton, Mr Everett, VlP., Mr Gilmour, Mr Lambert, M.P.,Mr "Little, Mr Long, M.P., Mr Whitehead" F.L.S., and Mr Herbert Lyon, secretary and Mr R. F. Crawford, and Mr Freeman Thomas, assist- ant secretaries. On the proposal that the meetings ot the Commission, during the examination of w itnesses, should be open to the Press it 'W.-a o resolved that the Press should not br., admitted, but that the evi- dence should be published at shorter inter- vals than UP ,tial, whenever considered desir- able. Thp, future course of the inquiry was considered, and subsequently Sir Nigel Kingscc jte, K C.B., gave evidence as repre- sentinf. the Commissioners of Woods aud Fores' ts, who are owners of extensive agri- cultu ral estates. A t the Islington Market on Monday last a si ngle case of pleuro-pneumonia was dis- cov ered in a cow which had been bought on on^ that day. The Board of Agriculture w as immediately com municated with, and ordered that all movement of beasts out of the County of London should be prohibited and then only with a special license which provided for their slaughter within six days This caused great consternation amongst dealers, many of whom had made large purchases with the purpose of disposing of their cattle in country markets and also amongst country butchers, who by this order, were uuablo to get their beasts home, thus entailing heavy loses on them. Senders of live stock to London are informed that the above named order only applies to the beasts offered for sale on Monday last, no restriction whatever being placed on future arrivals so that the Isling- ton Market from Monday will be entirely free and open (as it was previous to the dis- covery) for the removal of cattle into any district or market.

We are able this week again, to produce further evidence of the advancement the excellent system of dealing in farm live stock by weight is making in England. The report of the arrangement contracted by Mr Meiklejohn at Lord Londonderry's home farm at Wynyard Castle, will be pertaed with unusual interest. The bargain is a novel one, but it possesses the great commendation of simplicity, while it is calculated to aft'ordjthe highest measure of .atis faction to both^transacting parties. The sdl.or knows exactly what return he is reeling for his property, or rather, by adoring the use of the scales, he ascertain^ the eifl-et amount of property he is dis^. oa-" of, wlich enables him "IOrm a better estimat) of the tr ansaction. When animals are sold by appe arance only, the seller has no reliable m0p >n8 0f knowing whether he is makings g( J0d or an indifferent bargain. The round sP m received does not necessarily afford propel. means of judging. In fact, unless the figu re approaches the extreme in either direction, it is hardly safe to offer a definite opinion, on the nature of the tran- saction. It is absolutely essential that the farmer should first t of all acquaint himself with the quantity of meat he is offering. This he can do only by calling in the aid of the weighbridge. Tiltis done, the quality of the material has to be taken into considera- tion. For a settlement, of this debateable point he has to rely c hiefly on his own judgment, coupled, with t'he assistance the scales afford, althiough don. btless the buyer will strive te/ keep him from, falling wide of the mark in one direction, J.hen when he is arched with all these particu,lars, he is in position to face any buyer, lond to safe- guard against a losing bargain, while at the same time he can know and take advantage of a good opportunity should such present itself. We hope tli\e case recorded to-day may be the means of lading many other landowners and farmer.^ to follow the admirable example set at Wryn. yard Park. CORN SALES. Every week furnishes additional evidence, were that required, of the prevailing great need for reiorm in our systems of selling corn. What is required—and sorely required-is the establishment of one universal system of dealing in these impor- tant commodities. We are not very parti- cular as to what form that one universal system should bke, but decidedly prefer weight to measure, both on the score of simplicity and reliability. Anything, how- ever, in the shape of universal conformity would be a treat to the existing fragmentary confusing methods of transacting the grain business. It may be all very well for the farmer who, by reason of long experience and custom, is familiar with the local measurements, and who is quite indifferent as to the condition of the markets in other parts of the country, to argue that there is no appreciable need for alteration; they have always sold their corn by such and such a method and are perfectly satisfied with their bargain; and they strongly pro- test against any interference with their practices in this way. These protestations furnieh no solid grounds for argument against reform, however, as in such matters it is the good of the country at large that has the first claims upon the attention of our legislature, and the general interest assuredly craves for the establishment of one recognised standard weight or measure for use in every British market. We are very pleased that this subject was again discussed at the recent meeting of the Central Chamber of Agriculture, and that. as the discussion advanced, a favourable feeling appeared to progress with it. When Mr Jasper More opened the question, the case seemed almost a hopeless one, but a very different complexion was witneseed before the r bject was abandoned. A few speakers t xpress opinions slightly averse to the prc^osal that the President of the Board of Trade should be requested to receive a deputation on the question, but their aversion was happily not so strongly marked as to break the unanimity of the rote in favour of Mr Jasper More's resolu- tion. It is quite time this matter was thoroughly investigated and properly ad- justed in some intelligent and intelligible manner. At present market quotations are all but useless, unless the reader has the time and patience—and certainly business men have not-to calculate and reduce them to a common level. The enforced sale by cwts., qrs., and lbs. would incur no real inconvenience to anyone, whereas the coun- try at large would benefit by the universal adoption of such a system. BLACKLEG OR QUARTER-ILL. Most stock-owners have had more or less7 practical acquaintance with the disease of young cattle which, in Youatt's days was known as striking the blood," in reference, most probably, to the presence of a quantity of dark blood in the affected part. The terms blackleg or quarter-ill are in common use now; and all tbr< e terms express some characteristic of the disease. From early times the liability to black-leg has been associated in the mind of the stock-owner with rapid improvement in the condition of the busceptible animal. The best calf of the lot s, according to common experience, the one to fall a victim to the disease. Too mnch stimulating food-in other words, forcing the animal so as to get it ready for the butcher-was always, according to the popular belief, a dangerous experiment, and it cannot be denied now, with our further further knowledge of the nature of the disease, that there are plenty of facts which may be quoted in support of the old- fashioned views as to the immediate cause of the disease. In one remarkable case, to which we referred some years ago, a large number of calves a few months old were placed in feeding-boxes and supplied with liberal rations—oilcake, gruel, and other stimulating food-with the idea of forcing them to a state of premature fatness in the shortest space of time. As an experiment the matter was interesting; to the owner the results, in a pecuniary sense, were most disastrous. In a sb, wrt time blackleg ap- peared among the calves, and carried off a large number day by day. The system had to be abandoned; the affected calves died, and the rest were disposed of at any price which could be obtained for them. At the time of the occurrence above referred to, no difficulty was felt in explaining the outbreak. It was, of course, the Jirect consequence of the system of forcing which had been adopted, says the Field. With the added knowledge of twenty intervening years, the solution of the problem is not so easy. During that period a belief in the influence of micro-organisms in the production of certain disease has beeu advancing; and it has now become an accepted fact. The only questions left for discussion are those relating to the mode of entrance of the specific microbe into the animal system. In the muscles and mugcle- juice of the diseased part, hiiid or fore quarter, of:thelanimal affected tnere are several 1 organ IF JTNG wliicli were described and figured m the Fidd of 18t^ 1889. Of these the -uost constant is a short, thick rod with I I a transparent sporule at one end. This organism is known as Clauveau's microbe and, according to the investigations of Arloing, Cornevix, and Thomas, it is the true infecting agent of blackleg. It is, however, an entire mystery how it obtains an entrance into the animal body. The microbe is anaerobic, i.e., does not live in ordinary air; in fact, will not grow unless the air is entirely excluded, and some other medium, such as carbonic acid or ordinary coal gas is substituted for it. Under these circumstances it is almost impossible to understand how the organism can survive exposure to the air; and it is quite impos- sible to explain its entrance into the animal without such contact taking place. Further, it must be remembered that the microbe or blackleg only finds a favourable soil in the young animaL It is well known that in this country, at least, cattle, after reaching two years of age, are practically exempt from the liability to an attack. Cases in four-year-old beasts are recorded; but they are so rare that they can hardly be said to affeet the general proposition that the disease is one which affects calves. Sheep are in some degree liable to the malady, but the instances are very few indeed. Symptoms indicative of an attack of black- leg are not at first of a marked character but, on lands which are known to be dan- gerous to calves, the mere fact of an animal getting away from its companions and Z5 moping in a corner by itself is enough to excite some suspicion; and if, on examina- tion, it is found that there is some sw^lliirj; L)f the hind-quarter, or in the regioi of the sloulder, where the disease is so:notkaes ev ident, and, in addition to this, a truckling nois, e is caused by pressure on the part, there need be no more doubt as to the nature of the disorder. As the disease advances the swelling rapidly increases, the part afft^ted becomes covered with moisture the ount animal suffers considcrcLllo pain, and in the course of a few hourp dies. In many instances there are no symptoms of disease Obse-rv-ed. A calf is found lying- dead In a. di tch or a, corner of a Held, ard the account g-iyen is usually to the tfcet that the animal was quite well when last seen only a few hours before. The post- mortem aPPearanlck-s are very Ch1: tic. In the swollen p.^ usually ■ ) .1. quarter, the struetui muscles, cillvi. ii S tissue are of a dark Purple or black ec- ur. The muscle is soft an-d easily torn, at i. a quantity of dark fluid ilsues from the hhck mass when it is cut into. Patches of effused blood are seen on various parts of the bo iy, especially round the site 1')f the most pro- nounced disease when the &-tin is remol d, and to a less extent on the surface of t ie internal organs. Post-mortem examinations, when they are made, do not U6,ua,i]y extend beyond the diseased part; and ? the symp- toms, i.e., swelling, and crepit. p in swollen part, have been observe ,hiring life, no doubt need be felt in re^a. j fit lb. nature of the disease. Treatment ot leg can rarely be carried out with anv v^or e of success, because the disease is s.1 v[oin detected until it has advanced so far '1al recovery is impossible. But ii'- tLt- signs of illness--Auluess and disinclination to remain with the rest of the herd-be token as the initial stage of blackleg, it would be worth while to try the eifeet of large doses of hyposulphate of soda, two or three ounces in a pint of water the dose to be repeated in half-an-hour, and <.yo.ixi in an hour. The first a.ppearan. of sw;:>11in should be met by puncture with a Luet-t; or scalpel, and the injection of a two-per- ,ent. solution of carbolic acid into the wound. Preventive measures include removal of animals from the pastures where the disease appears, the use of setons, and protective inoculation, the relative merits of which will be considered in another article. ————————————"
