A WESTERN FARMER IN ENGLAND.

HE DETERMINES TO LOOK INTO ENGLISH
WESTERN MEAT SOLD AS GRASS FED ENGLISH
OR SCOTCH.
The wrongs Of corn and cattle producer in Of
the Western States of America told by his friend
q member of the st. Stephens Club, are certainly
very instructive, says the London Standard. This
breeder who is old Etonian recently visited the
mother country with a view Of inquiring into
the state OF the markets and the prices to
be obtained for live cattle or dead meat, as
he and other producers had for long time
been dissatisfied with the prices they receiving.
He found that the ways OF the trade dark as
those of ALI Sin, the hesthen Chinee. In the first
place. the American cattle breeder complains that in
the dead trade especially there is combination
similar to the fish ring at Billingsgate Market and
that the dealers and "bummarees" do pretty much
as they like This was proved by mis- own case.
Being determined to watch the process OF disposing
of foreign meat all through. he had come in
the ship AS his consignment or beasts. shortly
before landing at Liverpool one beast was affected
by disease and large number were at once slaugh-
tered to improve Ms he supposed, the sanitary
dltion OF the rest The meat having been care
fully dressed placed in the icehouse, but as
soon they reached Liverpool it deemed
prudent to sell the dead meat as soon possible
the plea that the reirigerators were out OF
order and might break down during the night. The
dealers sent for and they appeared IL onsaer
able numbers, but none OF them would offer more
than twopence per pound. The help
less in the matter, 80 the meat had to be sold
at that pric~. and was duly delivered Now comes
the most extraordinary part of the narrative. Be-
ing desirous OF finding out the prices which the
butchers were charging. the American breeder
visited the shops in Liverpool and Manchester, and
was amazed upon discovering that his par
ticuar American meat was beng offered to the pub
lie at prices ranging from seven pence to one
shilling per pound. Purchasers also sured
that the meat the best grass fed English or
Scotch. The price which the grower ought to have
| realized in the Wholesale market should have
| been hve pence half-penny or six pence. Such
cases are. DOUBT, very exasperating to
F, the parties concerned; but 1t would be
| unjust to assume, without conclusive evidence,
| that they the rule OF the market even or
common occurrence. IL the American dealers stock
had not been prejudiced by of the beasts falling
i'll OF disease he would have been all right. This
doubt, gave the trade lever, of which they were
slow to avail themselves. The writer advocate,
proper municipal markets in all the large towns
which would insure strict justice Deng both t
the producer and the consumer.

young Gray and completely buryng him; Willie
Wells was buried up to the chin; Philip Martin
was uninjured and ran Immediately to the nearest
neghbor, Clark Gray who fastened to the spot
and dug them out as soon as possible, probably
