Disea ses Among Cattle.
Mr.. Frederick King writes to the
Mark Lane Express.

MI. IIcueftch ming writes 10 the
Mark Lane Express;
And now what must | say, as one
OF the oldest members of the Royal Ag-
ricultural Society? Shall it devolve
on me to tell the public, through your
columns, that which neither our society,
the Privy Council nor ali the veterinary
art has ventured to tell you, viz: the
cause of the prevalent cattle diseases
These are all ready to tell you the fear
full extent to when the disease exists
instance one small county, (Oxford, } in
which we have, by a recent weekly re-
turn, some 1900 beasts, 5000 sheep.
and over 800 pigs affected with
foot and mouth disease and not one
of these mighty and influential powers
dare venture to tell the cause. Let me,
therefore, say that the Royal, fear,
had not sufficient life power for the
emergency; while the Privy Council
naturally bows to political pressure;
and the third fear that expose will too
soon be out. Having had fifty years
experience, the great portion of which
was IN the management OF nobleman's
extensive estates, and being now large
over the kingdom, and having a full
knowledge OF rapid decrease III our
fiocks and herds, l may mention that 1
know not where TO purchase calves
(save In some of our high-priced, pure
bred herds) that are not the offspring
OF parents in a condition OF inciplent
disease: and how can the offspring of
diseased parents be classed as healthy?
Is not this, therefore, a SESSIONS ma
tional question and would not the at
tention of all be better directed to
clean bill OF health in our own hocks
and herds rather than in complaining
of our foreign neighbors, whose cattle
are much healthier than ours
Such complaints simply raise obsta
cles to free supply being furnish
ed to us, and naturally increase the
price OF our food at home Let
me, therefore, assert mot Extensively.
L hope) that the present generation,
both OF butchers and consumers, have
never seen beef or mutton in perfec-
ton. Where are now to be found
those splendid five and six year old
bullocks and full-mouthed wether
sheep that one was wont to see fifty
years ago, moving masses, as it were,
of full-havored, fne-grained meat, rich
IN utrition-animals that had lived
first to mature the structural system,
then completing a fully-formed mus
cular development, charging the mus
cles with that property which includes
health for proper procreation of the
various species, or which gives nour-
iShmort tp orr rnaat tonJc2 This
class of animals is practically extinct,
and IN lieu thereof, what have

purchased, perhaps, even at the
best West end Shops bred from sick
ly mothers under two years old, that
themselves never partook of the nour-
ishment nature had provided for them
in early calfhood; weak, therefore,
themselves, for mother purposes, and
this weakly offspring prematurely fat
tened and killed before either the
structural or the muscular formation
was perfected, to say nothing Of the
latter becoming charged with the high
ly nuitritive properties which meat
yielded in years gone by; and then
can it be wondered at, that after we
have neglected and abused all the
natural laws and have bred a sickly
race, that they readily fall victims to
rinderpest, pleuro-pneumonia, and
foot-and- mouth disease9 Ought we
not to feel ashamed of our inhumanity,
and say that the cause OF all these dis
eases is attributable to our own indis-
cretion2 Take, again, our mutton
the lambs, as it were, of yesterday. Is
1t not true we are eating mutton born
IN January and February of the pre-
sent year, therefore now only nine or
ten months old, with neither structural,
muscular or hutritive development
completed Nor does this fill the cat
alogue of our gross mismanagement !;
for look at the parentage of this mis-
called mutton Wh,, the month of Oc-
tober Tor, what is worse, as early as
September) our breeding ewes have as
sociated with the males of the first
year, only eight OF nine months old,
which have never completed their
structural, muscular or nutritive pow
ers. Hence, l say, we study to pro-
duce weekly, sickly and degenerate
race of both cattle and sheep, in which
we have admirably succeeded, and then
attribute the causes, which are now SO
heavily complained of, to causes over
which we have no control. Away, say,
with such false premises, and rather
let us ask if these calamities are not
among Gods most righteous iudg-
mentS.N

Rose Cuttings,

Max klose, an experienced gardener,
says: Instead of throwing any prun.
ings away this spring, I used them as
cuttings, putting whole lot of them,
about 3 dozen or more, in Il am afraid
to mention IT'D marmalade jar filled
with coarse sand and water, with suffi-
cient of the latter to be about quarter
of an inch or so above the sand. [
then plunged the jar III slight hot
bed, and let the cuttings have all the
light and sun possible--never shading
once. After eight weeks ] examined
the jar and found the roots to fill them,
and the shoots to be in the healthiest
condition. Nothing could be more so. .
He adds: 'Out of about 100 cuttings
of some three dozen different kinds of
roses, | only missed striking fifteen,
which, think, is very encouraging
result; anyhow, | shall consider it the
road royal, and experiment again IN a
similar manner IN the summer, when |
shall pay more attention to the pre-
pairing OF the cuttings, and the way
they viii strike the readiest."

Small onions for seed.

Are small onions assorted from
crop grown from seed of any value for
planting again IS. w. B.
Very small onions, say about half an
inch ia diameter, are extensively used
by orr market gardeners, instead of
seed, for raising an early crop, which
is usually pulled and sold in market as
''green cnions." These "sets'' are
produced by sowing seed very thickly
on very poor soil, and as soon as the
bulbs are of the requisite size they
are pulled up and dried and laid away
for planting the next season. Now, if
your small onions are of the size we
have named, they viii propably answer
for sets but if much larger they will
be very likely to produce seed stems
instead OF larger bulbs.

But John was memorable, and the
mlll-owner was compelled to depart,
taking his money with him. About a
month after, a young woman called at
Pounds shop, likewise entreating Of
him to receive her unbounded thanks
and sum of money she had laid by
for him IN return for all she owed to
his instructions and good influence.
She had walked, she said. three miles
from the town in which she was resid-
ing, that she might find him and give
him this token of gratitude. Pounds,
as before, refused all compensation,
and told her to expend part of the
money III riding home instead of going
on foot. She said she was living with
a farmer and getting good wages, and
owed all her prosperity to his teachings
and advice. Thus from time to time
did this good man gain tidings of the
result of his iabors for others. Bat
hundreds were rescued by him from
misery and vice, whom he never met
again on earth.

seen on the streets of Portsmouth, weep

PyOstFatiOn Practice,

Luckily for the sick, the idea that 1t necessary
to reduce their bodily strength in order to cure
them, is fast dying out. Modern science recog-
nizes the fact that disease is of itself more than
sufficiently depressing to body and mind, and does
not need to be assisted in its inroads upon the vital
energy Of the system by violent purgatiors and
other facilitating mixtures. Prostitution is in short
"payed out, and the practitioners who still cling
to it few and far between that they cannot,
like their predecessors of the fatal school who
6ourished half century ago. fill the graveyard with
their victims. The introduction OF Hostetters
