this neighbourhood. Some of them he certainly found
to be in an otherwise healthy condition, at least so far
as one could judge, sad it was only by exzmination
after death that cue could detect they wore affected by
rot. Owing to the =taut of the &map that was
being done by the parasite at the time, be advised the ;
owner, rather than keep them to dispose of them, even
at • secrifloe, and they found that the Wary duct.
were literally teeming with the flukes. Re kept none
half &sea or dorm of them, and they were now living,
and to all appeareaoss boomed as well .1 any other ;
*beep in the flock. Thln showed that although livers
might be very extensively diseased, there ass no '
reason why it should not be over...me. The beet
treatment, no doubt, was good nitrogenous foo I, muck
as pea-meal, in conjunction with • little sulphate of
iron and silt.
Mr. VOMIT thought when farmers found they had
sheep affected they ought to be more energetic in try-
lag to find out some remedy to cure their sheep. In
Arabia, when the Arabs get the fluke in their sheep.
they took them several laundrette of miles away to
gram, and then took them back to the salt marshes,
and they found that this cured them. This was acp_ple
proof that malt must be • very good thing. with
regard to the sulphate of iron, they all knew it would
kill panatela in horses and cattle, and why should it
not kill the finks?
Mr. CHAPICAS SAUNDIne, ea one of the agricultural
section of the club, begged to tender his beet thanks to
Mr. Magnum for ow kindly giving them such an inter.
eating and scientific lecture. He congratulated the
club in having Mr. Mess= with them that night, and
he felt sure that many persona would read the lecture
In the coming week, and thank him very much foe his

susereetion.
Mr. Owsig said he felt exceedingly indebted to Mr.
Maw= for his kindness In introducing a subject so
highly Imporsaat to them all as agrkulturiste. He
would like to make one or two observations, and first
as to the manner In which the egg found ita way in the
ground. Was it pcmoible for it to be spontaneous!
They had been rather taunted by Mr. Vessey for not
using preventive measures, but they must be aware
that the fluke seasons were oaly nocesional. He wished
to ask one question of Mr. Mew= how the WI went
from the liver to the ground. Di 4 it pass into the
oiroulatioe, endrifrasircted 14 the usual way?
li Mr. mautil it was ejected with the excreta
of the antetal. probably flukes themselves were
ejected with the scuareis, cooteiaing ova,. Flukes like
other =to "We rfAy. apt to move. When the
sheep so diseased that It was about to die, the
flukes fisting the state the sheep Is in, would migrate.
He believed It was on record that the excreta of the
sheep had contalsed flukes themselves.
Mr. Gagne then remarked on the acknowledged
efficacy of salt in the treatment of the dimes&
OAELIT &MMUS said he kad heard of several
bagman not far from here, which would lead to the
oonclusioa that it was hereditary; particularly In the
on., of a mass who had 135 sheep. He had several
*wee which were due to lamb, they lambed all right,
but died in about week afterwards. The lambs of five
of these he took home one hour after they wee b
and bred them up from the milk of the cow. Six
weeks afterwards oat of them broke its leg, he killed
li, and found it full of finks& On examining the
other five after they were killed he said he had never
seen sheep moisileaked than they were. He had also
beard of calve, which had nothing but milk from the
now, which had been finked very much.

matter remained in abeyance, but about Awe" lest
he (Mr. Trotman) communicated directly Wna Mr'
Christian, and the result was that about • month agO
he came down and made an inspection .4 the towers,
and had since forwarded the following report 8,
WI itehall-place, London, December 2, 1880. Gentle-
men. —Agreeably to your request I have made a
careful survey of the central and western towers of
your beautiful church, and will, an briefly as prainhle,
report the moult of my examination. My attention
was first directed to the lower portion of the north-
east pier of the central tower. This, as you know, is
fractured on the net face near to the south-east quoin.
The fracture is a somewhat serious one, as indkiative
of disruption within the body of the pier, but the
masonry all round, and of the pier generally, is SO
solid and good, that I do not think there is any
Immediate danger to be apprehended. I tbink, how.
ever, it should be carefully watched, and the cracks
oovered at intervals with paper, so that the slightest
movement may be at once detected. It would not be
a difficult matter, with efficient shoring, to make good
the defective masonry; and, of course, it would be
more satisfactory to get rid of all unsoundnees, but the
necessity is not, in my judgment, immediate As
regards the upper portion of this tower, and more
especially its western face and parapets, I do not think
that repair can, with safety, be mach longer delayed.
The western parapet has long been in an unsafe state,
and in supported by props, but it urgently needs
rebuilding, and the parapets on the other sides of the
tower also require more or less I repair; but • still
more praising matter is the repair of the acceding in
the bell chamber storey, notably on the west side, but
also, in • lesser degree, on the east. The repair .4 this
work cannot, with safety, be much longer delayed,
but without examination from a scaffold it would be
impossible to say how far it must extend. What I
would advise to do is the least possible, consistent
with making thoroughly sound work, but it is
essentially necessary that further decay should be
arrested by dapping out wet and waling *Aid all
stonework at present loose or decayed. This could
only be properly done under direction and by very
careful and experienced masons. As regartia the
although the detail comae and not strictly
riTePeepting with the tower, yet I should deprecate any
ick)ett.deof form, or the removal of any but really
or unsound stones; but, excepting the
pinosiclea, the greater pert of the masonry must
undoubtedly be mat to make sound work. As regards
the western tower a very large amount of repair is
undoubtedly needed, built is chiefly surface work that
Is wanted, and the restoration of the bell-chamber
windows. The tower is not • very welloonstrocted
one, but there Is nothing in its present condition to
give canoe for alarm. The external repair should not,
however, be delayed longer than necessity requires,
and whenever there is a risk of the penetration of wet
Into the interior of the walls is should be carefully
excluded by sufficient stopping with Portiandoement.
I remain, gentleman, yours faithfully,Ewan Christian."
Mr. Fletcher anticipated that the con would be
from £3OO, £lOO, including the cost of scaffolding.—
Mr. Parkinson remarked that not only Wimborne but
the whole county were interested in the preservation
of their glorious old Minster, and thought that if
anythiNg were done the work should bedews theresighly.
—Mr. Trothian considered that the first thing for the
vestry to decide was as to whether the report should be
adopted; Mr. Ewan Christian was not appointed by
the votary but only by the Restoration Committee.
He therefore proposed that the vestry adopt the report.
—Mr. Dibben seconded the proposition. The resolution
was carried.—Mr. Trotman then said that the next
thing to be considered was the cost, and bow the money
was to be raised. They had no funds in band. Not
only was the Minstar highly prized as a venerable
edifice by the county, but Its fame extended far beyond,
and he believed that the outside world would join
thoroughly and heartily in supporting any scheme by
which it might be preserved. He therefore awaited
that Mr. Fletcher should be asked to give an
approximate estimate of the coat of carrying out the
whole repairs as reccommended in the report, and the
omit of thoroughly repairing both towers.—Mr. Ekock
seconded the proposition, and it was carried. The
meeting war then adjourned.
