CIDER AND DARE CRLLA.Iis.- —Water in • cellar will
not turn cider to vinegsr if the casks, containing the
cider, are properly corked. Fermented liquor. are

Sours ANIRICIJI BRIJ. Eighty oxen carcases,
which were shipped on board the mail steamer City of
Rio de Janeiro in South Amelia% and preserved with
ice, sawdust, and oharcoal, were thrown overboard
thirty days after shipment. the meat having turned
and become uufit fur the Loudon markets, and the

Cilrair MEAT SCFPLT.—At a dinner of the Midland
Farmers' Club, held recently in Birmingham, joints of
beef mad mutton preserved with sulphuroua acid end
carbonic oxide, aocording to • proems patented by Pro.
fessor John G emcee, ws re eaten. Sever.d practical
tenets said that the beef was of very fine quality. The
mutton was not oonailered no good. Professor Gamgee
said that the beef might be sold at ed. or W. a lb. with
bone. In Southern Russia— in Taganrog and other
piaci beef might be purolumed fur 51. per lb. The
cost of prei‘ervation and carriage need not etceed another
peony. Apparatus *weld., of preserving fee) carcases
of sheep per day meld be pat up to Australia for

TiLEATIIINT FOR THE FOOT AND MOUTH DIREASS.—
A high veterinary authority says ; Simple remedies are
much to be preferred, and in very many cases nitrate of
potash thrown into the deleting water, at about the
rate of half an ounce to • Kelton, is all that is required;
It is, however, better that nitrate of potash be alter-
nated with the sulphate of sods, given in the same
quaotity and in the same manner. The feet should be
kept as close as possible, and only the detached horn
removed with the knife. I believe also that a solution
of the nitrate of polish, four ounces to • pint of water,
is as good an agent as can be used in the early stages of
the disease; diluted carbolic mid one part, water 20
parts. may be required later on. Nettling but strict
isolation is likely to succeed as • EreVentstiTe. When
the disease exists in • district, famine ought to um
means equally am rigid as those adopted for the insula-
tion of their animals at the time of cattle plague.
As a rule, sheep seder les, than cattle, excepting in
their feet. Local epplications are, therefore, all that
will be required, and Awe may be the same is used to
the feet ot cattle."
THE DAIRY during this month can seldom be kept
sufficiently dry, and at the proper temperature, without
artificial heat, and no greater medallic, am be made than
to allow the milk room and other departments to become
damp and mouldy at this season. Always kindle the
fires in time. for "it is miller to keep out than to put
out." If this is done, very fine butter and cheese may
be made throughout the mouth, for the milk, although
less in quantity, is rich in quality when the cows are
properly foil, groomed, and attended to. When fed OD
turnips the tops should be giv,u to store cattle. ?deny
farmers prefer ploughing down the green-tops for manure
estimating them at more value for this purpose than
for feeding materiel, owing to the large percentage of
the tope being in &rotten and unwholesome state. But,
even when all green and fresh, the tops should not be
given to milsh cows, as they disagreeably flavour the
milk.

TENANT RIGHT e. LEASES.--111ran7 observers have I
Indicated that the true remedy for the Irish land trouble
assists in "lasso.." Now, we do not underrate the
great suitability of losses in some mem : and, if a new
law were passed to diseourage short tenures, it would
doubtless encourage the grant of regular agricultural
teams for twenty-one or thirty-one years. When a
landlord po.sesees no capital and no desire for Improve.
went, and when the tenant possesses capita and
industry, a long lease is just the thing required ; for it
directly encoaragi s the cultivation of the soil. But
when the landlord is able and willing to improve, and
the tenant is not, a lease would work mischief. No
landlord would expend money if forced to give a long
tenure; be would wish to rmerm his pow, r for obtain-
ing interest for the cepital be subsequently raising the
rent. The varying difficulties of the ease are met very
happily by the elastic custom of Tenant Richt, as
understood and moepted ill Ulster. The tenant there
gecures • centime:lg interest in his farm, proportioned
on the whole to the increased value he has given It. He
may have taken it at • rent of el 10s. an ecru ; if by
bis toil or capital he has made it worth t 2 10s. an acre,
he obtains an exectly elihenoed price for the good-will.
But all tenants have some right to good-will ; only that
in CABO/ where the tenant has not improved, the sum
to he got in exchinge for it is proportionately small,
What is the result A bad tenant may by ejected
without much expense ; but • landlord wishing to ejisit
▪ teeent who has improved finds It ratter costly work ;
he mat pay a sum reprecinting not merely the good-
will of ouordioary unimproved farm, but • gam rrpro
▪ ntiog the °Lammed Talus given to the farm by tie
tenant himoiat. Thus in many parts of Ulatel, without
any lessee, the tenantry have enured • '' right of con.
tineous occupancy" proportioned to their outlay of
capital. their industry, and ekill. None of them are
mere tenants-en-will; and hems, when • farm is 'meal
the landlord seek, eagerly for good tenants who will
properly use and improve the land. There are, en
doubt, several economical objectionn to tenant right ; it
exhausts, in Is soil, he capital of tLe incoming Meant,
and aetu illy enhances the market value of land ; but
at all events it breeds peace and prosperity. Where
tenant right prevails, landlords are not shot, and
tenants are not " feloniously" evicted : these are Items
to the credit amounts. We require, then, to those
parts of Ireland where this custom is not eetablisbed,
i Acts, possibly more than one, that will utterly abolish
, as illegal all banana. ; that will make eviotions,
except for non-payment of rent, costly, tedious. and
' therefore rare ; that will establish the right of ejected
ti n.nt.i to liberal eompensation fee the iseremed value
i witch they have given to the land. And it • similar
custom prevailed in England it would be sary nabs
factory.
