THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

BETTING AT THE VICTORIA CLUB. ,
SATURDAY, 3 P.M.
Eating on a Saturday necessarily affects the attendance at
the club on that day, and this is especially noticeable 1n the
ranks of the bookmakem. It was ea today, and consequently
the transactions of the afternoon were neither so numerous nor
important as they would have been had not the Diadem
Grand Yilltary Steeplechase meeting served as a powerful
counter-attraction. The Liverpool Grand National opened
the ball. Mistake being made a hot 'tm at all the
10's to 1 that could be procured, and finally layers
redneed this price mother point. 10 to I was also ao
copied each about Luca and Cortolvin, but at the finish the
mare had the beet of it. A commission in favour of Alciblade
brought him from 20 to 1 to 100 to 7, having, been backed all
down the ladder to win upwards of 1,64. Alter 40 to 1 had
been laid against King of Hearts, we law 600 to 15 taken, his
backer appearing nothing loth. For the Two Thousand. Janitor
was entrusted in one quarter alone with an outlay of 500 L at 12

SU. at the same price. The remainder of the business done will

The following recommendations have been drawn
ttp b the Bo al Commireiou on the Cattle Plague, end
ai to Use local authorities throughout the couetry:

Reoommeodatione on this subject may conveniently be
moat under the following heads :-1. The cleansing of
shed; infected or otherwise, of markets, slaughterhouses,
lairs, fro. 2. The cleansing of waggons, trucks, ho. 3.
The disposal of manure or litter. 4. The dispose' at
carcases of infected animals. 5. The dispose" of bloods
offal, and hides of apparently healthy cattle which have
been killed after being in °outrun with ideated cattle.
6. e'recautione to be taken by butchers, lospeotora, and
other, who visit farms for the purpose of seeing or killieg
diseasd beasts. 7. Farther disinfecting measures which
may be nodal in infected or endangered farms.
1. -The cleansing of sheds, infected or otherwise, of
markets, slaughter-houses, lairs, &a—Wash the wood-
work of the sheds everywhere with boiling water, oon-
taining in each gallon a wineglassful of carbolic acid.*
Then limewash the wails and root of the shed with goods
freshly burnt lime, adding to each pailful of whitewash one
pint of carbolic sold. Sprinkle the floors, after well cleaning
with water, with undiluted emboli° acid. Lastly, close
all the doors sad openings and burn sulphur in
the shed, taking core that neither men nor cattle
remain in the shed whilst the burning is going on.
Allow the shed to remain closed for at least two hours ; then
open dears and windows. About one pound of sulphur is
sufficient fora 10 or 12 stall shed. The sulphur should be
buret in the centre of the shed, so as to get the fumes dif-
fused everywhere. It may be placed on • shovel of burning
coals. This process should not only be used in sheds where
infected cattle have been kept, but also when there is soy
reason to apprehend the presence of infectious matter on
the praises. When dismal) is in the neighbourhood it may
be usefully employed once a fortnight. In cleansing diets
from which the cattle cannot be removed, sulphur must not
be used. Ip such • cue follow the above instructions, omit-
ting eety the Iklealgation with sulphur. All markets,
slaughterhmses, lairs, and places whets cattle have been
customarily collected, should be carefully and thoroughly
&sin' fectedio the above manner before they are used 'gado,
the manure, blood, and offal being treated as directed in
media= 3 sad 4.

2. The cleansing of waggons, trucks, 80.—Well scrape
the boards of the track or waggon, and burn the scrapings.
Then wash everywhere with boiling water, adding some
washing soda. Then wash again with chloride of lime or
carbolic. solution.

3. Disposal of manure or litter.—The most effectual way
Of disposing of manure is to burn or bury it; hot if neither
plan can be adopted it must be ploughed in. Before burying
or ploughing it in, water it well every day fora few weeks with
the carbolle solution by means of a watering pot or hose.
When the disinfectant has well penetrated, remove the heap
to some neighbouring arable land, and immediately trzh!
it deeply in, care being taken that the whole of it is
If there is no arable land available, place the manure, after
the above treatment with carbolic acid, In a beep in a field,
and consolidate by the passage of carts over it. After •
Anal watering with carbolic acid, cover it with at least one
foot of earth. If the heap has Wbe packed over, previous
to being applied to the land, water it one more with ear-
! boll. acid, and cover it again with earth. Carefully cleanse
sad dianthust by sponging with the emboli° solution all
earth and tools used in moving the manure, and the
boots of the men, as well as the feet aed legs of the horses.
After the manure has been removed from the premiers*,
thoroughly disinfect the yards be the method givea in
section L Add carbolic acid to the liquid manure in tasks,
in the proportion of one pint daily to every hundred
gall4.ons.
Disposal of carcases of infected aphasia—Bury the
mow sax feet deep ; cover it well with good quicklime,
nixed with carbolic acid in the properties of half a gallon
to each kuadredweight.t
O. The disposal of blood, offal, and hides of apparently
healthy cattle which have born killed after being in eoutect
with infected cattle.—Carefully collect all blood and offal ;
mix with a little carbolic, *sad, sad then bury. Bides
andirons may be disinfected, either by washing in the
solution of earbolin acid, or by soaking in • Nolutioe of eh
ride of lime. It is considered advisable by importer
hides to first remove the moisture by covering them for
twelve boors with common salt befogs they are soaked in
the above solutions.
8. hecantioes to be taken by butchers, incipeotors, and
others, who visit farms for the purpose of mein or killing
diseased beasts.—The greatest care as to oleanlineas is gems-
miry in the ease of Debtor. and others who go to farms to
kill or see infected animals. They should never go sear !
healthy beasts in their infected clothes. They should wash
carefully sod dip their boots in the carbolic solution, and
should thoroughly brush their clothes, sprinkle or sponge
them with the same solutioe, cad expose them to the air.
In addition to these precautions, inspectors will follow the
direcrtioss already issued to them. All person' who have
been in contact with, or near to, diseased animals
must also use aisailar precautioas. All cloths sad baskets
used for meat should be steamed, or plunged into boiling
water, after being used.
7. Further disinfecting measures which may be used in
Infected or endangered farms.—Wash the cattle all over
with • solution of one pound of 'oft wisp, a wieegleasfed
of carbolic acid, and a gallon of warm water. This should
not only be done when cattle have been near infected stock,
but also when Meesee is In the neighbourhood. In the
latter ease it may advantageously be done once • week.
Take • paint brush, with bristles about three inches long,
and having dipped it into the undiluted carbolic, acid, well
@Pinkie the liquid over the floors of the cattle sheds, the
tome parts of she walls, and the droppings of the Naimoli,
every day. Be very particular to have the farm buildings
always smelling of carbolic acid, eepestally those sheds oon-
Minis( sick beasts. No care seed be taboo to prevent the
cattle licking the carbolic acid, as it Is likely to do good
rather thee harm. All clothing, baskets, cloths, tools, and
itessila of thy description may readily be disinfested by
exposing them to the sotios of burning sulphur in a close
shed whilst undergoing fumigation as directed lit sorties I.
It must especially be home in mind that disinfectant& ere
of little use where cleanliness is not observed. The former
mast never be *moldered a substitute for the latter.

Ininn RkILWAY Hugonm.—An influential depu-
tation waited upon the Lord Lbutenatit of Imbed on
Saturday to present a memorial embodying the resolutions
on the subject of the reform of the Irish railway system,
at"the recent meeting held in Dublin, reported in our
columns. His excellency, in reply, said the subject was
one which the deputation were wall warratited in brisling
under the notice of the government. He thought the inte-
rest which the government had taken in the question was
above in the appointment of a commission, sod the pub-
lication of the evidence which had been taken es the Irish
railway system. It was quite certain that the subject
would receive from the government the most attentive con-
sideration. He did nut suppose the deputation expected to
elicit from him any opinion on so very I e and important
a scheme as was embodied in the memo ai, for it was one
which required very careful consideration. As was justly
stated by the deputation, the scheme was one whit* en-
doubiedly ought to be productive of good results. but at
present all he mild say was, it should receive the attention
of the government, and he felt great pleasure is beteg

The Bishop of Worcester has requested the elerg7

ble in the house of Ood ou such day during the pram-at Lent
as from local cireumstatiore may be most "that
they may bumble themselves under His mighty hand, may

meads that the servsie to be wed on the occasion s►ould

FRESH OUTBREAK IN BERKSHIRK —Berkshire has
latterly hese exceedingly free from the cattle plague, but,
unfortunately, the diaessa bas just broken out in the vtllsge
ef
Aldermaston, near Reading, where it his Treed to three
farmsteads, notwithstanding every effort wkieb has been
mode to stamp it oat, by slaughtering the animals lint
affected. Several animals belonging to Mr. Bane,
the incumbent of Aidermiatoe, sod Mr. Litinsil,
* farmer, were seised and slaughtered, two inihreetial
agriculturist' is the district having guaranteed com-
pensation to sbe owners. Subsequently the disease broke
out oo the estate of Mr. Higford Burr, io the same porn
and several additional animals belonging to Mr. Lie
were also seised. One beast was subjected to Mr. Worm'
treatment, but died. Mr. Fltaapo, government
for the district, was, however, anxious to giro the mil=
recipe a fair trial, and immediately fresh mese broke out.

Mr. Weems' treatment was adopted, but it proved of no
leves, and Sir Paul Banter, a county magistrate, anderteeic
the responsibility of awarding compensation in order that
the besets might be altnghtered. However, Mr. Sims,
brewer, of Reeling, who had bees eneeeasfal is the sae of
digested °owe, biasing of the cases, visited Mr. Lionel!, arid
avowing his ability to care the animals, Sir P. Heater allowed
Mr. Lionel to postpone the slaughter of them till an early
hour on Saturday morning. The beasts were then prostrate,
and when Mr. Suns sought permission to try his remedy,
Mr. Unbolt said be might operate upon one animal, bet i
noless it took effect soon it would be of no nee, as be felt j
bound by the order of Sir Paul Hunter, who rammer red
the local cattle plague committee, to kill the animals that
day. Mr. Sims proceeded with his treatment, and within
twenty minutes the beast got up on its legs and took the
gruel that was offered it. Mr. Linnell then said Mr. Sims
might operate on the other diseased beast. He scored-
ugly did so, and that animal also was on itS legs in about
twenty mints, and both beasts took gruel from the same
pail. Mr. Liana believed his animals were fast recovering,
jean:inch as they eat some bran mash aid a small quantity
of scalded hay; and Mr. Linnell end Mr. Sims then went
in-doors. On their returotheylennd the beasts were scouring
very much, but they attributed this to the combined meth-
' oines,the medicines recommended by Mr. Worms having bees
ministered previously. They gave an astringent, which
did not take effect, and one of the animals died at 2 o'clock
on Saturday morning. The second beast was alive and
better at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning than when Mr.
Sims first saw M ; but as Mr. Linnell had pledged his word
to have his besets slaughtered if he did not consider them out
of danger on that morning, the animal was shot. Mr.
LineeU has an impression that, if the besets bad sot beat
previously treated with Mr.Worms' mediciese, they would
have recovered from the treatment of Mr. Sims. The
owner offered to remunerate Mr. Sims, who decFned pay-
ment, being actuated by philanthropic motives ; and Mr.
Sims stated his winkles= to go at his own cost to any
part of the kingdom and try his remedy. The beasts
operated on were two-year-old heifers, said they bad all
the symptoms which identified their complaint with the
prevalent one.
