YOULTRT ant, PASTURE —1 have always found my
best corn within 30 feet of the fowl-house, altbeugh
the poultry have free access to the field. Many of my
brother farmers some to a different conclusion, and say
that their fowls eat off the young wheat, and mange!,
and other plants. On inquiring as to the cause of this
dircrepency I soon discovered it. Poultry are as fond
of grazing as either sheep or cittle. Near my hen-
house I have • small pasture, not so those who suffer
by poultry, and Ps they canoot get grass they eat the
young •heat and other plants. There should always
ho pasture laud near the hen-house. I am more and
more convinced that poultry are profitable and pay
better than either sheep or bullocks- Compare the live
weight of both, said you will find that whrtr you sell
the former at 40. per lb. live weight (iis, per stone of
81b, net used weight) you xet from 93. to led per lb.
live weight for your poultry. I speak, of course, of
well-bred poultry properly fettened. Itxperience has
convinced me that birds, poultry, and winged gone are
the farmer's brat friends, and that without them hi.

WAITE LABOUR FOR WASTE LAND' is the text of an
interesting primplrlet by Mr. Froze*. Fuller, the sub-
stance of a paper read by him before the Social Science
Amociation. He reminds us that there are nearly
thirty-two millions of acres of waste or uncultivated
lend in the United Kingdom, and that the labour
market is over-stocked, there not being nearly work
enough for those who are willing to do it. Ile estimates
that two-thirds of this waste land might be cultivated
and planted. If only one-third -say, ten millions of
acres—could be made available for food-growing pur-
poses, it would be equivalent to adding three York-
shires or six Deovnshires of arable land to our resources.
Surely there is work here for some of the unemployed,
and work, too, that would yield profit. But where is
money to come from to set them digging? Hr. Fuller
contends that 1:50,000.twoo sterlng—aliumt enough to
fill a Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget—might be
added to the wealth of the country. It lea matter to
set us thinking. Major Cleig, in a letter to the Times,
suggests that soldiers might be employed, with east
benefit to themselves, in the work. Among other ad-
vantages which the Major thinks the adoption of his
plan would offer. are these :—" It would encourage en.
listment, of which it would enable us to revise the
terms, so as to create numerous reserves and it would
thee solve for Euglmod the Premien problem. It would
create • school of discipline, =oiliness and industry for
that part of the populace of three kingdoms of which
the growth augments mendicancy and fills jails."

CIRCULAR TO POOR LAW GUARDLlNS.—Oentlemen,
you are, doubtless, aware that the high price of meat,
caused by the cattle dim see, rendered necessary, last
tisasion, the enactment of • precautionary measure
against that pestilence. It must be equally well-known
to you that another malady has broken out, and is now
raging, amongst hoth milch cows and feeding stock, a
distemper nained the foot and mouth disease. The
mouth disease of the coarser classes' which vents itself
in expressions signified by blanks and asterisks ; the foot
dia.., of young ladies, apparently produced by high.
heeled hiehlows, are bad enough. But the foot and
mouth disease of cattle is worse : for it raises the price
of milk, cheese, and butter. The papers may be pre
corned to have informed you that great oruelty (that is,
the careless or wilfol iollstion of suffering, whether on
swinish or mankind) lias been discovered to be habitually
practised on cattle during their conveyance both by sea
and land carriage, and that there is every reason to
behove that this very grestly aggravates. if it does not
engender, the cattle dim:foes ; especially the foot and
mouth disease. You, gentlemen, eta well appreciate
the serious's.* of these disease* of cattle; because we
eat cattle. You know what it is to pity for, an! consume,
had beef at • shilling a pound. If the bad beef went
begging at a vile price; if it were both cheap and nasty,
awl that were all, you would know what to do with it:
and you would bear it as well as you might. As it is,
the quantity of beef which you can afford to allow the
inmates of your workhouses on meat days, or even on •
Christmas Day, amounts to a very few es. If we were
heathens, gentlemen. unblest (with the privelige of
Christian light, and if we were cannibals besides, should
we not, however, be more careful how we treat our
kind? Should we not practically love oar neighbour
more if we weld eat him? If man were so high as •
shilling • pound, should we not, for the sake of dead
paupers, feed and house living paupers better? Should
we not be almost as ansious about the medical treat-
ment of our eick poor as we are about that of our
diseased cattle? These questions will perhaps come
before you at your neat general meeting, end should
any difficulty occur to you an to the conclusions which
their consideration may suggest, you are invited to
apply to the Society for tie Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, which is competent to afford you all the in.
