Alin that alto dairy farmers of the &Ma The
Ode are fed entirely on hay, and they have to lithe
whatever. Accustomed as lamto me tattle here Is
stalls, well-sheltered yards and boxes, and seeneantly
well Mend, it is impossible to describe the seem of
illessonent experienced in seeing the cattle of these
purely dairy farm districts standing in mad and
water, with their cotta staring, and, notwithstanding
they have a full allowance of food, looking very poor
in condition. My owe experience has long led me to
doubt the value of meadow hay as the principal pro-
vender for cattle, and all 1 bare °believed daring the
last few days in the grass districts has eenvinoed raw
that hay alone is expensive and inferior cattle food.
The hay, too, of certain land is supposed to be the
cause of abortion in cows, which fro:rally oecuionsso
much loss to the dairy farmer. Certain farms seers more
aubjeot to this then any others. Thu Mr. Pouting
told me that for the last twenty years be has every
year suffered from his cows " warping." This year
he has had seventeen oast their calves prematurely,
and consequently are of little value for the dairy, bat
are sold off to be fattened, of course at a loss to the
dairy farmer. I suggested the want of shelter, and the
wet state of the yards as the cause of this evil, but
Mr. Pouting said that his cattle had more shelter
than those of his neighbours, and yet they naively
suffered at all from abortion. He attributed it to
something peculiar in the herbage of his farm. The
disease, too, seems to be somewhat capricious, for a
farm near Berkeley was pointed out to me on which
two or three tenants some years ago wore ruined
from the Ices sustained through abortion; bat the
present tenant, who has occupied the farm for eight
or nine years, has never experienced any such loss
until the peestnt year, when he has suffered very
severely from the same cause. Thus it would seem
to be caused, not by the land alone, but partly by the
season.

On mentioning this to Mr. Morton, of Whitfield, he
told me that it had been disooverod that meadow
greases are often subject to an ergot, • parasitic
plant, like the ergot of rye, well known for its power
to produce abortion, and that the losses by abortion
t nstaioed on certain dairy farms are believed to be
canoed by this ergot. If so, the only remedy seems
to be to break up the land. I inspect that a partial
breaking op of the land, sou to supplythe cows with
roots and straw chaff, with a leis quantity of hey,
would prevent this serious evil.

The dairy farmers do not complain in the same
degree as the corn farmers and tho graziers, for their
produce is selling at fair prices. Stock in this dis-
trict is, however low. I went into a farmyard where
the stock of a deceased farmer waa being sold by auc-
tion, and I mw some very nice in-calf heifers sold for
71. and 81. each, and several two-year-old light cart
colts for from 111. to 181. each. In the counties near
L,ndon they would have been worth at least me-
third more.—Yours, &c.,

MANCHESTER, Aram 11.

• --
The advance in the Liverpool cotton market has
given iacreased firmness to the pries of twist and cloth ; and
buy en on India 1100011111 have been snxious to complete
orders. The remit has been • good deal of business in
shirting, suitable for the Calcutta market, and these goods
are very scarce. There is much the same dielculty as
regards the numbers of twist suitable for that market.
TO* demand from other quarters was trifling. Au
impress's. still prevails among experienced niercan-
' the man that the prices Or cotton, notwithstand-
ing tits shortness of crop, cannot be sostalned with
the priest limited demand, and whilst this leads them
to operas with soothe, producers, on the other hand, conti-
nuos nazism to avoid the accumulation of stocks from high-

country trade. This paint is adverted to in Mr. ldandlors
trade circular for the present month ; and he observes :
.. The more ••range does it appear, sines is former years,
hasediately succeeding abuisdant harvests, when food was
not ern so low priced as at present, the state of these ma-
nufacturiag districts was highly prosperous, sad our mills
were at full work to the utmost stretch sanctioned by th•
law. There are many rases, no doubt, conspiring to pro-
duce the present unsatisfactory state of things here, amewpt
which may be enumerated the relatively high rates of Miss
