FLOODED STOCK IN ENGLAND.

following extract from the London Standard,
As given in the Report OF the Royal Agri-
cultural Society :
''In the stock prize-sheet for the WoIver-
hampton meeting the eOuucil have made fur
tber additions to the prizes, which have hith-
ertO been offered for live stock. In particular,
they have added fourth prize in the classes
OF short horn bulls above one year old, but
have somewhat reduced the amount of the FIRST
prize they have offered separate prizes for
the two breeds OF Guernsey aud jersey cattle;
aud they have decided to establish \ series Of
classes for Cheviot aud other mOuDtain sheep.

"DuriDR tho past half.year the consulting
chemist Of the society has presented two quar-.
terly reports on manures and feeding stuffs
forwarded to him for analysis By members of
the society. These reports, giSi0H the names
of the dealers and the anaIySss a substances
are regularly published in 10 agricultural
journals as well IS in the journal Of he o.
ciety. This publication has produced some
dissatisfaction on the part Of vendors whose
articles have been analysed but the coun.
Gil are prepared to defend their action in this
matter, and believe that no part Of their work
Is more valuable to agriculture than the
analysis and exposure Of inferior and adulter.
ated maEuTes and feeding staffs. In several
instances the dealers have made money COM
Pensation to the purchasers, and the council
regret that in some Uf these the purchasers
have been unwilling to give up the names of
the dealers, resting satisfied with the settlement
made in their individual cases.
