that have been cut back, must be syringed every an.
afternoon to encourage them to break. The former may
be left outside, but the latter, if possible, should have the

Weak liquid manure should now be frequently applied to

their condition when clipped much later than the present
time; they should, therefore, be cut at Once. Evergreens
are making • fine growth; in some cases, indeed, they are
growing out of bounds, and must at once be judiciously
cut back with a knife. Dead rose blooms should also be
cut off as soon as possible, to encourage the production of
another crop. The plants should also be freshly
mulched with rotten manure, or be given a good droning

to thoroughly ripening the esseone growth on fruit trees
against walla, they should be frequently looked sayer, and
have all unnecessary shoots removed As soor, as the
crops; are gathered, the trim should also be thoroughly
washed occasionally with clear, cold water, to rid them of
any insects that may be lurking about, for it is impossible
for leaves Infested with these pests to play their peeper
part in the economy of nature.. Standard and bash trees
In the open are freer from all kinds of blight than weals
and therefore will only require to have their growth
regulated, so that all may derive benefit from the ma's
rays.

hour's land that the neighbour and his landlord must
be allowed to ruake what contracta they plasm It is also
strange to dud lawyers, who must be aware that the
Statute Book is crowded with restrictions on freedom of
contract, pleading for a doctrine which, if it means
anything, must medal that all ag.r..ou.ss between
individuals should be enforced, without regard to the
public interest. The repeal of the Malt Tax which
formed the main feature of Mr. Gladitons's Budget is as

The election for Scarborough, caused by the retire-
ment of Sir H. Johnstone, took place on Friday, when
the Liberal candidate, Mr. Dodson, President of the
Local Government Board, was returned by the esti&
factory majority of 2..1 over his Tory opponent Mr.
Duncombe.

At the Nottingham Assize., on Saturday, Mr.
Ge ,rge Robinson, a wholesale and retail grocer,
obtained £l,OOO damagen against the Great Northern
Railway Company, for injuries sustained by him in a
collision on their line at Nottingham, when some PA
people were more or leas injured.
The Bishop of Manchester, speaking in St. James's
Church, Accrington, on Saturday, on the inauguration
of a surpliced choir, referred to the pew system in strong
tenns,and said there was a more excellent way of raising
ministers' stipends than by pew rents, and suggested a
yearly collection.
In addresibmr the electors at Scarborough on
Thursday, the Right Hon. J. G. Dodson declared that
the late administration must be primarily held
responsible for the disaster in Afghanistan; while the
Hon. 1). Plunket, at a meeting of Conservatives, held
that the disaster was a military calamity for which
neither Government was responsible.
The Wimbledon rifle competition was brought to •
close on Saturday, when the prizes to the successful

FRIINDLY SOctrrini.—At a great meeting of the
liampahire Friendly Society, the Earl of Portsmouth
dwelt on the great advantages of such institutions, and
urged that Parliament should consider whether the
Registrar of Friendly Societies should not be an officer
ing greater powers than were now given him.
Wessi could
now only advise, but he should have power
to insist, which would greatly check the operations of
societies which were in • rotten condition.

POISONING 300 PEOPLE WITH BRZAD.—LouIs &Lucie,
the bakers' messenger at St. Denis, Paris, who, in
revenge for his dismissal for embezzlement, put arsenic
in a quantity of dough, was on Saturday convicted and
condemned to death; but the jury have memorialised
for a commutation of the sentence. Three hundred
consumers of the bread experienced symptoms of
poisoning, though all of them recovered. Banda began
by poisoning two horses belonging to his employer,
obtaining the arsenic on the plea that it was for rate,
and on continued deficiencies an his accounts occasion.
ing threats of dismissal, he surreptitiously mixed the
remainder of the arsenic in the dough, evidently
intending his master and mistress to be the victims,
and heaffees as to how many others suffered.

HIGH FAIRING IN EISIX.-01:1 SIIXILIARyerty of
egriculturists of note and scientific men, approaching 150
in number, left London for Brentwood, and were driven
through Weak' Park for an inspection of the farms in Mr.
Halls occupation, amounting to 1,700 acres in all. The
land, considering the disastrous nature of last year, was
wonderfully clean, and bearing fine crops of roots, wheat.
barley, oata, and beans, Considering that Mr. Hall's
speciality is the production of milk for the London
market, one was struck by the absence of any sign of cows,
until the mystery WOA explained by • halt at a huge shed,
• sample of the method in which the milky mothers are
stowed away by the hundred, 75. or 50, up to a total of 700
at the present time in different plaoes. The one visited
was for • hundred cows, and was eight or ten shirt of its
full complement Light, perfectly ventilated, well paved,
with a tramway running down the centre, this model
building differs only from limiter famous establishments
in the Aylesbury district, in the cows standing in two rows
with their heads to the sides of the building, instead of
being head to head, an arrangement which seems to offer
mine little economy of labour in the matter of feeding.
Plentifully littered on chopped straw of an inch staple,
with an open trough of what is practically pure running
water, a necessity on which Mr. Hall specially insists, the
animals, which have evidently the most scrupulous
attention, looked in the most perfect condition. They are
mostly crora-bred cows, the shorthorn type largely pre-
dominating, and are served by pure pedigree bulls of that
breed, and as a consequence Mr. Hall finds ready
customers for all his three-day-old calves at jut double
the price of his neighbours, who are not so particular in
the choice of sires. All the green food is fed to the cows
in their stalls, Mr. Hall being a thorough convert to the
doctrine that allowing the animals to range the pasturage
simply means their being pestered by flies in summer,
and wasting rather more than they consumed at all time*.
But in addition to that each cow receives • plentiful
supply of crushed maim, eats, barley, beans, and oil
cake; hence their marvellous condition and tbe high
value of the manure, which is carefully preserved from
deterioration and judiciously applied to tbe arable
land. From this shed, after inspecting a nice little
herd of fattening West Highland cattle, the party
inspected a stream mill, where the large quantity of
grain used by Mr. Hall is ground, and where • saw
mill was also at work, and then on their way past a
field where steam cultivation was being carried on.
In the course of the speaking referring to the panic about
the overwhelming supplies we were to receive from
America, he said he did not participate in that panic. He
recollected under the old system mutton selling at 64., for
which they now obtained lc per lb. They had suffered
from • succession of bad seasons which oould not be
controlled, but there were many things they could and
must control if they were successfully to meet the
competition they would encounter from abroad. They
mast improve their ways, and one of the serioue
difficulties in that respect was to give up prejudices and
attachment to old customs. There must be co-operation
on the part of landlord and tenant such as that existing
between Mr. liall and his landlord, for mikes they pulled
together nothing could be done. There was plenty of the
picturesque but no profit in the farming of that part of
Essex until they had got upon Mr. Hall's farms, where
the landlord had been persuaded to cut down trees and
grow corn instead of wood. Taken as • whole, the
agriculture of England was inconsistent with the best
management and the realisation of the highest profit from
the land. Gentlemen there that day from Northumber
land and Scotland bad looked with amazement at the
wretched little fields and multiplied hedgerows, alter
their own enclosures of 150 acres in extent, and had said
to him, with perfect truth, that they could not farm at
all as the Essex men were trying to do about there.
Landlords and tenants must give up old prejudices,
throw small fields into large ones, and do in agriculture as
was done in manufactures—make the ornamental and
unprofitable give place to the profitable Forty years ago
be had illustrated his principles by sweeping away every
tree and fence except the outside one, and now places
were devoted to profitable production which before
had been devoted to hedge-rows and woods. Sir
F. Knowles, F.R.S. did not think the agriculturists
of Britian need despair in regard to American competition,
seeing that the wasteful system there was to exhaust the
land and go further West to break up fresh wit, while we
had immense stone of yet unutilised manores in the
Felsper of Dartmoor and Cornwall, and in the 131b.0f
ammonia that was available from every ton of coal
raised.
