LONDON, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 4.

FOR *owe time to come we may expect to hear,
wherever we go, and among all sorts of persons,
speculations and forebodings about the supply of
animal food for months or years to come. This
kind of discussion is not only natural but most
desirable, if it is conducted in a reasonable and
cheerful spirit, and with the simple courage with
which an enlightened nation should meet a great
calamity. Moreover, the sooner we ascertain
what our resources are in the worst probable
case, the better we shall be prepared to obtain and
use them.
Two points have to be noticed in the first in-
stance. First, we do not yet begin to feel any
practical deficiency of meat, bec►use a prodigious
slaughter of sound as well as unsound beasts is
going on, under the apprehension that all are
doomed, and that something like money's worth
must be got while it can be had. Thus, there is
so little actual scarcity yet that the market prices
have not risen in districts where the disease has
not appeared. There are wide areas in England
now where prime rumps of beef ere selling at 9d.
• pound, while mutton and lamb are 10d. ; and
the precautionary slaughter may keep down prices
till we have had time to make up our minds what
to do to supply the national table.
Again, we are sure to bear of all diseases and
deaths among edible stock of any kind—diseases
and deaths which would be unheard of by the
public in ordinary times ; and every ailment is
supposed at once to be the " rinderpest." There
were groundless alarms in Ireland some three
weeks since, from a beast here and there
having pleuro-pneumoni►, or foot-and-month
disease ; and the same thing is happening in
England now. When a cow's mouth looks dis-
agreeable, the droppings are taken for the dis-
charge belonging to typhus ; whereas this symptom
ought to be recognisable at once, after our abun-
dant experience of the foot-and-mouth disease,
which is so easily curable. As to the pigs which
are said to be dying by scores in various districts,
the ill news is probably true ; for there was cer-
tainly a considerable mortality from typhus among
pigs in some parts of the country before we took
alarm about the cattle. About the sheep, in
Norfolk at any rate, there is unhappily no doubt ;
and if the malady spreads among our flocks, it
will be even a graver misfortune than the plague
among the cattle. The panic about the poultry,
which we hear of from France, has not
yet, we believe, crossed the Channel ; but
a dismal answer is offered to the sugges-
tion about breeding rabbits on our farms.
It appears that many thousands of rabbits per
week are imported from Belgium, and sold at from
3a. 6d. to 4s. 4d. per stone (without skin
or offal), and that this trade answers well to
the Belgian exporters. An agricultural contem-
porary suggests that a rabbit-house would at
present answer well on many a farm, where the
feed would be little more than a consumption of
refuse. But then comes the st►tement that in the
neighbourhood of Nottingham the warrens are
strewn with dead rabbits, believed to have died of
the prevalent disease. A few days will probably
show whether the mortality really is from this
cause. At all events, we are at present sure of
bearing of all the plague that exists, and a good
deal more,
What are our resources in case of beef and
veal, mutton, lamb, and pork being rendered
scarce by disease? Whatever animal food is
obtainable anywhere, ought to be at our
command, seeing how our capitalists always
have money ready to be risked in foreign
loans, and in enterprises all over the
world. They might do well for their own pecu-
niary profit if they now, in good time, took mea-
sures to bring in food enough from many countries
to meet the need at home, and create • large
custom by keeping prices moderate. What is
the Freak Meat Company doing which lately put
forth so promising a description of what was being
done We read of an enormous demand from
England for Canadian and American pork and
beef ; but it would be much surpassed by the
eagerness for meat preserved fresh, if it should
turn out true that joints have been carried about
the world for more than a year, and have turned
out as juicy and fine as if just killed. Ws might
in this way have, not only any quantity of beef
from South America and many other terri-
tories, but any quantity of mutton from
our Australian colonies, where legs of mutton,
and, indeed, the whole carcase, are boiled
down for the tallow, the refuse being
used as manure. We do not know that anything
can be added to the exhortations and remon-
strances already pressed upon the exporters of the
South American beef which has appeared in our
markets at the tempting price of 3d. per lb. It
has been proved good and eminently nutritious
meat when properly treated ; but it is simply a
vast benefit thrown away while it is so badly
prepared and packed by the exporters. Why
should not some of our capitalists associate, and
provide us with many varieties of food? Why
not bring us the fresh meat, and the salt meat,
and the dried meat? Why not form poultry-
rearing companies like the one at Bromley Good
observers trace already the improvement in weight
and quality of the fowls brought to London, in
consequence of the simple and easy process el
killing off the mongrel cocks in the farmyard,
and supplying their place with young cocks of
a good and profitable breed. There is so
saying how far the improvement might be carried,
and the production increased by snob an adminis-
tration of poultry yards as associations of capitalists

unduly despised food is------
U espitelista are disposed to take up our case,
and eater into • promising @peculation at the right
moment, they will doutlesa look round the world
to see where the natural features of countries
suggest • supply of animal food. There are the
oak and beech forests in Servia, of which we have
heard so much—do not they abound in swine of •
rare and refined quality t The fens of all con-
tinents would yield us wild and water fowl to any
extent, if the method of preserving meat fresh is
really so practicable and cheap as we are assured.
Cheese comes next to meat in nourishing quality;
and, as our home supply is in jeopardy, there it
reason for more activity than ever in looking after
the milky herds of the world. And this leads us
to the gravest consideration of all in regard to our
present case.
What are the children of the country to do
without milk f At beat we want for them and
ourselves twice as much as we can get, because it
answers better to owners of cows to make cheese
and butter than to sell milk ; but, it the milk
itself fails—what then t We are assured, se-
riously and sadly, and on the highest authority,
that a great deal of unwholesome milk is sold
and consumed in the neighbourhoods where the
cattle plague exists ; and that the conse-
quences are visible already in the sickening
of children. Now, could not some enterprising
men of business relieve us of this calamity ? Can
they not supply the aliment which is absolutely
essential to the life and health of the infant popu
lation t There is a method, simple and inexpen-
sive, of preserving milk unimpaired for long petiole,
and it is used in the American navy, if not in our
own, and probably in others, every day for the
months and years of long voyages. It is only
evaporating the water, and preserving as powder
the residue, which contains the essential qualities
of the milk. This powder, well dried, is kept
in sealed bottles, and when used it has merely to
•
be mixed with a due proportion of water to be as
good as when drawn from the cow. Cannot we
have agencies in pastoral countries to do this for
us 'I If the Australians send us their mutton, let
them, instead of boiling down sheep for tallow,
boil away the water from milk, and send us the
sediment, which will be more to the children of
this country than the meat to their fathers. Hints
and suggestions of this kind ought to be welcome
just now ; and any that are available at all will be
the better for being offered in good time. If we
always want more animal food than we have, we
are about to feel the want more than ever, and
every citizen who can point out a new source of
supply, or means of economising such as exist, is
rendering • service to the country at • critical
moment.

PARIS, TUNSDAY Evciwio.

The Pays states that the Emperor is expected in
Paris on Monday, Oct. 9, and that he will go to
Compiegne on the 12th inst.
It has been stated that some decided cases of
cholera have occurred in Paris. On inquiry it appears
that in one hospital only, that of Lariboisibre, near
the Northern Railway, there are from a dozen to
twenty cholera patients. They all oome from one
quarter of the suburbs—that of Montmartre,
Clichy, and Saint Onen—and almost all belong
to the most wretched class of the poorest poor.
The moment cholera patients are brought in the
hospital surgeons resort to all possible means to
stimulate the circulation. Hot bricks, hot sand,
hot linen, and mustard baths, are freely used. For
drink they get hot tea and rum, or cordials such
as green Chartreuse and other aromatic alcohols.
If the diarrhea is abundant opium is adminis-
tered.
Omnibus accidents are rare. Ido not remember
one in Paris since the extraordinary occurrence
some years ago of a man, sitting on the roof of a
Pommy omnibus passing along Comas la Reins, who
was killed by a tree (awkwardly cut down) falling
upon him. Two days ago, however, an omni-
bus catastrophe, rivalling a railway accident,
occurred in the Rue Rivoli. An omni-
bus, full inside and out, drawing on one
side to avoid a waggon, just touched the curb stone
and tipped over. Seven passengers were seri-
ously injured, and one is not expected to recover.
This event may possibly revolutionise time omnibus
service of Paris. An inquiry has been ordered to
ascertain whether the new system of putting on
the roof as many passengers as can sit down is
compatible with public safety.
The following paragraph in the Moniteur puts
an end to the rumours that the Toulon fleet had

Tunis :
