ROYAL AGRICULTURND. AL SOCIETY OF
ENGLA
A monthly council was held at the society's house
in Hanorerequare on Wednesday last, the Ist of March,
when the chairman laid before the council the report of the
finance committee on the accounts of the society, from which
it appeared that on the last day of the month of February
just ended the invested capital of the society stood at 8,9991.
stock, with a current cash balance in the heeds of the
bankers of 2,6291. The chairman explained that this general
balsiice was made up of the following special balances,
namely, York subscription balance, 9901 ; armor balance,
7421 ; composition balance, 4011. ; and available balance for
current purposes, 5061.; and submitted to the council the
recommendation of the committee that the 7421. then re- ,
ported so the amount received on account of subscriptions in
wear be invested in the purchase of stock, and be thus added
to the fund of invested capital standing in the names of the!
truster a of the society. This report, with the recommendation
it contained, was unanimously adopted by the council.
Tte following new members were elected:—Thomas Pen-
rice, Kilvrough, Swansea, Glamorganshire; John Mould
White. Mickleover, Derby ; Colonel Bragge, Sadborough-
park Chard, Somerset; William Chatterion, High-Rigby,
Barton.on-Humber; H. B. Raymond Barker, Garden,court,
Temple, Landon ; G. P. Dawson, Osgodhy-hull. Selby,
Yorkshire ; Thomas Bayley Jeggo, Gicfield, Halsted, Ewes ;
George John Person, Hulemere, Surrey. The names of
nine candidates for election at the nest meeting were then
read.
PHOSPHATE or LlME.—Professor WAT, the consulting
chemist to the society, presented, in the name of Mr. Paine,
of Farnham, specimens of the fossils containing phosphate of
lime, tram the upper and lower green sand, together with
samples in their natural state of the soils in which these va-
luable finals are found. Professor Way called the attention
of the members to the phosphatic fossils from the gault clay,
which in an interesting manner connects the upper with the
lower beds of these remains, and leaves no doubt in his mind
that the conditions which prevailed during the collection of
this large phosphoric deposit must have extended over a
lengthened geological epoch. He entertained no doubt that
the deposits might be profitably worked at the out-crosses; '
but whether the great bulk of the phosphate of lime would
be available for agricultural purposes could only he
ascertained by experience. As there were obstacles
to the working of the bed in some places, so, no
doubt, there would be great facilities in others. Agreeably
with the request of the tamed, at the previous meeting, he
had analysed the phosphorite mineral from Estremadura,
originally presented to the society by Mr. Kienbizley, and
it was found to contain about 411 per cent. of phosphoric
acid, which would form nearly 86 per cent. of phosphate of
lime, or bone-earth. Professor Way, however, explained
that phosphoric acid, as existing in phosphate of lime, did not
repr sent the precise chemical condition under which that
acid existed in the phosphorite ; but that the pro-
portion of it given might in all respects be taken
as en index of the agricultural value of the mi-
neral in which it occurred. In comparison with the
Estremadura specimen, he stated that the fossils of the
upper green and were found to contain about 57 per cent.,
and those of the lower green sand 43 percent., of phosphate
of lime ; and be trusted that the great abundant* of these
bails, and the facilities for collecting them, would render
them far more important to the English agriculturist than
the phosphorite mineral itself, even should means be found
for the more reedy importation of that foreign substance.
Mr. Paine, in conjunction with Professor Way, intended to
draw up and offer to the Journal committee a complete state-
ment on this subject.—On the motion of Mr. F. Hobbs, the
thanks of the council were voted to Professor Way and Mr.
Paine, with a reference to the Journal Committee of the offer
to which Professor Way referred, of a detailed communica-
tion on this interesting subject for the pages of the society's
journal.
DISEASE IN CATTLE.—MT. PALIN, of Stapleford-hall,
Cheshire, expressed a hope that the essays competing for the
society's prise on the subject of pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle, and which were to be sent in by that day, might
contain some valuable information on that subject for the
benefit of the agricultural community at lame; and he
trusted that should such be the case no time would be lost
by the Journal committee in placing the information before
the members. He had himself suffered severe loss from the
ravages of the disorder amongst his stock, end it was at that
time making fearful inzaids into the dairy stocks of Che-
shire, many farmers having lost more than two thirds of
the number of their milking cows by the disease; and
in some butane** the yearling calves had died of
the same affection. Mr. Palin had had 35 eases amongst his
cows, and two amongst his yearling calves, 01 which *umber
of animals only nine were new left alive, and these he con.
alders were saved by early and copious bleeding, and gentle
laxative internal medicines. But even these, thus saved,
were, he stated, worthless to him as dairy cows, the disease
having, in eve ry other instance, caused abovion, and the
cattle were very much emaciated. How far the disease was
infectious he was not prepared to say. The first of his cares
occurred in July, and it was nine weeks afterwards before
be had any further outbreak of the disorder. It then re-
cornmenaid, and his stock had not been free from it sines
that time for more than • fortnight together. During the
previous week he had had three severe cases, two of which
had proved fatal, and the recovery of the third animal re
maimed very doubtful.
Mr. J. L. BaowN, of Farewell, near Lichfield, also ad.
dressed the council on the same subject. He had had serious
losses in his stock from the pleuro-pneumonia, nearly all his
stock having been swept off by its ravages.
Mr. BENNETT stated that his Irish stock (tied op in a
separate yard) had been perfectly free from the disease,
while several of his English cattle (also tied up in other
yards) had been taken ill and died. His best young alai midi
Lad been affected and carried off. He had adopted the sys-
tem of bleeding, and placing • setts in the dew-lap, and bad
not bad any of his stock affected eince.
Mr. House believed that the disease was aging much as
natal; the cattle of the country were decimated by its fatal
effects. Farmers who formerly had kept from 30 to 40
animals now kept not one.
Mr. SHELLEY feared that its regatta were felt not only by
the farmer but also by the consumer.
Mr. T. Trasten considered the complaint to be nothing
more than a fever, and conceived that it ought accordingly
to be treated as a febrile affection. The circulation, as usual
under such circumstances, was disturbed; and he would
strongly recommend that the early symptoms be narrowly
watched, sod when they that indicated the disorder, prompt
depletion world at once cut short the malady. The irate of
the bowels would, of mune, be attended to ; and a seton, or
rowell, would be advisable. He considered that scientific
men were not generally called in soon enough.
Professor &swim. would suggest that the most attentive
observations should frequently be nude of the stock,
either by the owing es cis Memhass (whether birds.
