The Lincoln meeting is postponed till Thursdsy.
Should the frost untiotte, the mom will be put off

UR. Joil-N—-Oil'
We take great interest in our live stock scarcely
lese interesting are our tenant-fanners! They are a
wrest valuable class, to whom the Isndlords, elermy, and
entnonnaltY should feel obliged. The county of -Dorset
Is mush blessed with a great number of worthy men of
It. elms of tenant-fanners. I propose, however, to
speak now of my esteemed friend, Hr. John Ford,
'without disparagement of the many other distinguished
agriculturists in the county. He rents a farm at Rush-
ton, near Blandford, of Ur. Wort. of Ctiebel ; and
furies my 14 year's tenure ot the living of Rushton he
rented my glebe lands, and fanned both excellently.
He is nigisly esteemed by Mr. Start and by all classes,
sed epochal, by the labourers. During the time I was
at Rushton I do not remember any unpleasantness
between him and his labourers. Some masters are
always changing servants, and some servants are always
eh.naing masters. When this is the case I always
know were the fault lies. All the servants and all the

mute rs cannot be bad. Ali a 'took and crop farmer I
know none superior to Mr. Ford. His management,
as a stall-fresher of Herefords and Devon", is exeellent

Street, would eat gladly • handful of straw —a
proof to me of judicious feeding. I believe that the
only medicine he need, when very fat animals haat their
appetites, were sulphur and Epeom salts, a half pound
of
each. He is also o good judge of stock, abd an
honest one too. A patchy animal will not pun with
him oYer a level animal, though the former be fatter in
certain points. He looks to lean as well as to fat. He
knows that it takes the best points of two good

Mr. lord has an admirable South Down flock—the
some may be said of Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Start, and
Mr. H. Tooker-550 of which are breeding ewes. It
Is one of the purest South Down docks in England,
Mr. Ford having bred for many years from the stock
of the late Mr. Jonas Webb. He hi now a number
of pure-bred Webb', verp handsome, and of great sib-
staves and small bone. He has also hiad very good
rams of the Duke of Rizhniond and Mr Ellman. It
able opinion, that however good • flock may be, it is
good to charge the blood. He sold on the 9th 1 Sep-
tember last year, 100 of his outgoing c wre to Mr. John

thirty of View to • Surrey breeder, to bree I rams

purpose. Mr. Strange has brongit them for many
years, which shows that they answer a good
parties°. His weber lambs sold out annually in
Alums! or Sept.mher, go to the butcher. Mr. Ford is
• high feeder, both in the stall end out ; and o great
quantity of fat beef and mutton is sold out every year.
This is the true way to farm. When I was at Rushton

much given up. as some animal, do not like it. After
the ewes have lambed he gives them Miyake, corn, and
chaff at four times in the day, instead of once a .12y, as
is the custom on some farm* 'll bose greiely feeders
eecnetimes die from gorgiog too much at oar time.
Mr. Ford I. a regular feeder throughout the year.
Be *maiden " good luck" and " bad luck" to mean

Mr. Ford is not • frequent eompetitor in London, but
when be sends an animal it is one that arrests the atten.

remember three sucessisful Baker-street competitors,
which I often handled. The first was a Hereford steer.

gotthe portraits of both. It is curious, but true,
that Lord Portman, who is a capital judge, offered

consort but the agent did not think her good
oncost. • • more expensive animal was bought, but fell

E2ittRTAINIIINT.—" The real and original Christy
minstrels (of Charles Christy)" gave a performance
at the Town•hall. last rriday evening, So many
"real and original' bands crop up from time to time
ally to prove ignorant incapable., that all come
under suspicion, and the really meritorious suffer.
The minstrels who were here ea rriday were
thoroughly clever, and gave an entertainment
affording genuine fun, excellent singing, and skilful
instrumental performaneet. There was a good house
—it would have been better if the merit of the
had been publicly recognised under some more
distinctive title than Christy's minstrels—and all
seemed highly gratified with the entertainment. .

VALES OF AVON •ND STOUR FAMISH/I' CLUB.—At
Christchurch, on Monday, this club met, when Mr.
John Waterfield, of Wiokton farm, introduced for dig.
cussion "The over preservation of Game." He
deprecated battue shooting and breeding game for sale.
He spoke of the great injury done by hares and rabbits,
and complained that tenant farmers have ti keep police
to Insult poachers, to pay for their prosecution, and
keep them when in prison,and to maintain their families
in the union house. He suggested the adoption of the
following resolutions :—" That the keeping of ground
guns and over-preserving of pheasants is unfair to the
occupier, and &check to enterprise and improvement in
cultivation ; that the rabbits under all circumstances
should be even over to the tenant to destroy ; and that
hares also be the property of the tenant to course, as he
may think proper." —" That all damages done by game
shall be paid for under the award of two pre:Aiwa
farmers, one chosen by the landlord and the other by
the tenant; and that in sue of their not agreeing an
umpire chianti shall decide, and whose decision shall be
final. Such awards ought to be deducted from the rent
and recoverable as all just claims now are." After dis-
cussion, the following resolution was agreed to:—" That
the rabbits ought always to be the property of the
occupier, and that he should be allowed to course the
harei, Find that the law ahould afford a remedy for
injury to °rote occasioned byjgame ot rabbits preserved
by any neighbouring owner.
