He commences the report by stating that one-fourth of the Lodge Farm has been during the, last two years devoted to the growing of Italian rye-grass. This has been attended with a somewhat less favourable JOHN GOSNELL and CO.'S CHERRY TOOTH PASTE is greatly superior to any tooth powder ; gives the teeth a pearl whiteness, protects the enamel from decry, and imparts a pleasant fragrance to the breath. Price is. 6d.—Rod Bull Wharf, 03, Upper T hames- street, London. result than last year, as regards the weight of the crop. It is necessary, however, to state that whilst the area of grass cut this season was five acres less than last year, AMORNING and EVENING DRAUGHT. LAMPLOUGH'S PYRETIC SALINE is most agreeable and efficacious, preventing and curing fevers, skin complaints, and inflammation. It instantly relieves the most intense head ache and thirst, and if given with lime-juice syrup is a specific in gout and rheumatism.-113, Holborn-hill, London, E.C. and the quantity of sewage applied to the whole farm up to the 20th June this season was 204,000 tons, producing 892 tons of grass, in addition to other produce, the 279,000 tons applied to grass alone last year yielded up to the same date 769 tons only ; this proportionate increase, however has not been sustained, owing in a great measure to the following circumstances. Of the 55 acres of grass cut last year, only 15 acres had been previously cut, whereas of the 50 acres cut during this season, the whole, except ing 53 acres, had been cut during last year to the utmost extent, and in consequence of this a large quantity cif• the grass plants died out - during last July, and the grass cut from 20th June to Ist September has been 917 'tons less this season than last. The value of sewage-grown grass is beginning to be appreciated, and the demand for it now exceeds the supply. The rye-grass under sewage is most profitably cultivated by being cut for one year only. It may be necessary, in order to obtain the earliest crop in the spring, not to sow later than August, which would necessitate a cutting before winter; but fur the later crops the only difference between sowing i n October or March is, that the autumn sowing gives a larger crop for the first cutting ; but that advantage must be balanced against the results of an intermediate crop. Mr. Petre states, in illustration, that a plot sown 25th October was out on the 20th May and 11th June, giving eight tons to the acre each time ; whilst a plot sown 2nd March gave only four tons to the acre on 19th May, but over eight tons on the 11th June. If surprise be expressed that the quantity is not greater this season in consequence of the warm weather, it is explained by the dying out of the two-year old plants, and it is noted that a moderate quantity of sewage in a damp season will produce more grass than a larger quantity in a dry one. In addition to feeding from 50 to 60 milking cows entirely on sewage-grown grass, with most satisfactory results, two young steers have been fed exclusively on that grass from 18th May. On 7th August their respective live weights had risen from 7i cwt. to 91 cwt., and from 6 cwt. to 71 cwt. The results of some interesting experiments are given in the report. A field of 12 acres of poor gravel that was in wheat last year was sown in the following manner : 4i acres were sown with wheat early in November-2 acres of red wheat and 2i acres of white rough chaff ; 21 acres were sown in October with winter oats ; 4 acres were sown in October with rye ; 2 acres were planted with cabbage in October, which was taken off in March, and mangold sown in their place. This wheat was twice flooded with sewage, in March and in April, 450 to 500 tons to the acre being applied in the two dressings. This crop was cut in the second week of July, and was thrashed in the field, producing 53 qrs. to the acre, weighing 631 b. to the bushel ; three loads of straw to the acre. The white wheat was sold at Mark-lane by Messrs. James and Sons, on 27th July, at 60s. per qr., the exceptional price of the day being 625. The red wheat was sold by the same firm on 3rd August, at 545. per qr., the market having fallen considerably during the interval. The winter oats were three times flooded—in March and in April over the whole, and over a part in June-in all about 500 tons to the acre. These oats were cut in July, thrashed in the field, yielding eight quarters to the acre, with three loads of straw per acre, and were valued on 3rd August at 275. per acre. The rye was flooded twice, in March and in April, in all with about 450 to 500 tons per acre, was cut in July and thrashed in the field, yielding six qrs. to the acre, with three loads of straw, and was sold at Mark-lane on 27th July at 40s. per qr., weighing 5731 b. to the bushel. The mangold, following the cabbage adjoining the last crop, has been sewaged three times, and the crop is now estimated at 20 tons per acre, These facts seem to protest conclusively against the com monly-received opinion, as stated in the third report of the Royal Commission of 1865, that town sewage is not appli. cable to cereal crops. Mr. Petre recommends that in the case of wheat the sewage should never be applied after the formation of the ear has commenced ; but the same care is not apparently necessary with oats, if attention be paid to prevent their being laid. As soon as the oats and rye were removed, the land (being so hard no plough could touch it) was flooded with sewage, ploughed up, and sown with white turnips. Within the week, without any rain, the turnips were up, and they now present, in spite of the attacks of the fly, the appearance of a good early crop, calculated to be worth £lO per acre before the end of September. The results of the three-acre piece of black oats after cabbage on a poor gravelare'equally. satisfactory. These oats were sown in the end of March, were flooded with sewage in May and in June, in all 400 tons to the acre ; were thrashed in the field on July 26th, and produced six quarters to the acre, valued on 3rd August at 265. per quarter. A plot of rye grass was sown in September 1866, from which was cut 58 tons of grass to the acre during the spring and summer of 1867. This plot was ploughed up, and sown with black oats in the end of February of this year. No sewage whatever was directly applied to this crop, but from its position it may be said to have stolen a certain quantity, as the land around it was flooded, and one of the channels passed through it. These oats were thrashed in the field on 26th July, and yielded eight quarters to the acre, valued on 3rd August at 265. per quarter. Some experiments on a smaller scale are then given with canary-seed, linseed, parsnips, potatoes, sugar-beet, red cabbage, onions, &c., and with great success in all cases, especially with cabbages. Perhaps the most satisfactory result is that with the mangold wurtzel, though quite expected, from the expe rience of the crop of last year on a smaller scale. A plot of rye-grass of about three acres, sown in August 1866, and producing the following summer more Than 60 tons of grass to the acre, was ploughed up in November, sown with marigold early in April—long, red and yellow globe. A sprinkling of sewage was applied to start the plants, and the land was flooded in May and August ; the crop was at the end of August calculated at 40 tons per acre. In these cases the crops were raised with sewage manure alone. The report contains an account of the cultivation of the rest of the farm, consisting of about 100 acres. On this the only manure applied is salt and the saw dust litter used in the cow-houses and stables. A field of 11 acres was planted Ist February, 1868, with potatoes, 30 loads of sawdust litter to the acre being ploughed in ; these potatoes were dug between 23rd June and 19th August, and produced five tons to the acre, commanding the best price at Covent-garden and the Borough markets. Another field of 10 acres was manured with 20 loads of sawdust litter to the acre, and planted in March with potatoes, producing, between that and the middle of July, five tons to the acre. These crops were respectively after wheat and cabbage. Twenty-one acres were sown on 17th April with mangold, 30 loads to the acre of sawdust litter were ploughed in with 6cwt. of salt, and the crop promises to yield 20 tons to the acre. Forty acres of wheat, red and white, sown after mangold (for which the land had been highly manured with sawdust litter and artificial compounds), has been well harvested. The white has been thrashed, producing 53 quarters to the acre, and three loads of straw. The red wheat is estimated to be an equally good crop. M. Petre then institutes a comparison between the sewage and other manures. No amount of ordinary manure could produce 6 or 7 crops of grass a season, weighing from 6 to 12 tons each. In the case of niangold also, the knowledge that two dress , ings or floodings of sewage, consisting of 200 to 300 tons per acre each, is capable of producing a crop of from 50 to 60 tons per acre, enable a comparison to be drawn with the ordinary crop of 20 to 25 tons produced with a good dress ing of farmyard dung. The crop of wheat grown last year without any manure was about 33 quarters to the acre ; this year the yield with sewage was 53 quarters. The land is a poor gravel. DZr. Petre remarks that the formation of the face of the land for sewage irrigation is regarded by some as a serious i mpe diment to the adoption of the system. He describes his plan as follows : " I divided the land into beds of 30 to 36 feet wide, then ploughed them to a high . ridge in the centre, like the old pasture lands in the middle counties, a channel being ploughed out on the top of the ridge, communicating with a carrier running at right angles on each side of the field ; the sewage, being let into this ridge-furrow, over flowed it, and thoroughly dressed the land on either side. 'When there is a s ufficient fall, what is termed the catch. water plan would be less expensive and equally effective. The cost of sewage channels in any case must be balanced against the heavy and constantly-recurring expense of horses, carts, and men, in manuring the land in the ordi nary mode. In conclusion I must remark, that although, perhaps, a larger return might be obtained by cultivating only the most profitable crops, it must be remembered that this farm was established with a view of testing the real prac',lcal value of tawn sewage in ordinary agricul ture, and exhibiting the results, more especially to the farmers of South Essex, the company's future customers for the whole of the sewage of North London, not more than one three hundred and fiftieth part of which is used on Lodge Farm in a year." A farmer is now nowhere unless he is both scientific and practical. He ought to be a chemist in some measure, but is the absence of special knowledge such facts as given in the report from which we have quoted will be of great value to him. The great sanitary question of the day is the disposal of town sewage. The pollution of our rivers and streams is not thought to be the best solution of the difficulty. This sewage is proved to be a most valuable manure, and if the nuisance of the town, the source of, fevers and sickness, can be rendered the origin of fertility, in the country, the adj u s tment of the right t_ia_ing _ right place will be accomplished. LIIIII7ED LIABILI7 Y. (From the Anglo-American Times.) The affairs of the Royal Bank of Liverpool were discussed at a meeting this week, when a state ment prepared by one of the committee of investi gation was set aside, on the intimation that if pub lished it might involve an additional liability of from £50,000 to £lOO,OOO and necessitate another call. The question for the shareholders was whether they should lay aside their just feelings of indigna tion and save themselves from further loss, or punish the directors at the expense of another call. It is very evident that the law must be iu fault which admits of men being placed in such a position. The question they had to decide was whether they should expose and punish guilt,vindicatc the majesty of the law, and protect society from the most dangerous class at a heavy personal outlay.Naturallythe decision was in the negative; and additional force is thereby given to • the now notorious fact, that men who . break down a trading corporation by dishonest management have nothing to fear, if they so mani pulate matters that the exposure will injure the shareholders as well as themselves. The Royal Bank of Liverpool is one of many instances, and it is high time that the matter should be taken up in Parliament, and decisions on such questions be re moved from men so unfairly placed. The real question, stripped of verbiage, was whether they were to compound a felony ; and nothing can more clearly show how much the law requires revision than that such a scene could have been enacted in the greatest trading town of the Em pire. British statutes were intended to guard so ciety when in a state totally different from the civilization of the present day. Violence, burglary, and robbery on the high road were the dangers at the time dreaded, and naturally when enacted the law was directed against those held to be the most danger ous classes. But times have changed, and a DICK TtnsrlN or a PAUL CLIFFORD now take their places at the head of boards of heavy respectability as managing directors. These are now as ever the truly dangerous class, for they are a great deal too clever to remain under that great clumsy vehicle the law while they can nimbly step up and take a seat on the top. Why, they make the law carry them—everything they do is in accordance with law ! They have the statutes at their fingers' ends, and the men they have swindled are those who find themselves en tangled in the meshes of the law, weighted with liability and forced to eat humble pie. One of the curious sights that may be seen at a dozen different places any day in London is a ruined wretch on his knees, begging mercy from the very men who have swindled him out of all that he possessed. Ile has come to the end of his 'means without coming to the end of his liabilities in such concerns as the Royal Bank of Liverpool, and it remains for those who have lied—shamefully lied—to treat him at their discretion. What is required is a Public Prosecutor, more especially to investigate cases of bankruptcy and to drag into the light such instances of fraud. If directors were made respon sible for dishonest or culpably bad management, and liable to the utmost extent of their means, we would not have these sickening cases which have spread such horrible suffering over the empire. Further, that nothing should be permitted to be termed Limited where a greater liability remained than the amount of capital called up. It was through the deceptive use of this term that so many thousands of thoughtless people were cngulphed in ruin. In November the case against the directors of OVER END, GURNEY and Co. will be tried, and we believe that the property of the late Mr. GIBBS has been attached pending the decision. Should it be given against them, it will doubtless be de plorable to see five or six wealthy families plunged into poverty. We realize this because we see it— but we cannot realize the suffering spread over the land by the failure of the company, unless we have before our eyes an individual instance. This want of appreciation, and the sentiment caused by what we do see, is inimical to the impartial admini stration of justice. Mr. WILKINSON'S suffering in a convict's cell excited in many minds a lively sym pathy, but what was the sympathy among the same people for the numberless families ruined by what they were pleased to call his mad management of the Joint-Stock Discount Company. Besides the settle ment of the OVEREND-GURNEY question, we hope that the commissions paid to the directors of seine of the finance companies on profits erroneously calcu lated and never realized, will also be decided. The constitution of Parliament precludes, we fear, the certainty of any strong measures of repression in this direction, but a pressure must be brought to bear which the Commons will be unable to withstand, and we sincerely trust that we have seen the end of such scandals as the framers of commercial law being the leaders in concerns which have brought disgrace on the English name. LIBERATION OF IRISH POLITICAL CONVICTS.—The Irish Nation states that two of the political prisoners in Australia, Patrick Doran, convicted with General Burke for high treason in 1867, and Daniel Moriarty, of Mallow, have been discharged, on condition of not returning to their native laud ; and that within the last ten days Michael Stanley, who, since February, 1867, has been im prisoned in Millbank and Portland, has been uncondi tionally released.
