be attributed in great measure, II not entirely,
to the effects of the Cattle Diseases Act. Sheep
and lambs have decreased to an alarming ex-
tent, the number being 1,536,356 less than 1t
was last year, and 1,,S4,4S2 less than IN 1878.
The terrible liver rot will in great measure &C.
count Tor this: but loss OF capital, leading to
the giving up of breeding flocks, must also be
reckoned as a factor in the case. The decrease
is all the more to be lamented because mutton
at the present time Is the article of production
in which British farmers have the smallest
amount of competition, and which yields the
largest profit IN ordinary seasons. Sheep
breeding has paid remarkably well until last
season, when the rot decimated many t1ocks
aud caused loss to nearly all breeders i think
there is no hope Of the loss being retrieved
for some time to come. The conditions of the
present summer have been favorable to the de-
velopment OF the liver luko, and another visit
tatinn is very probable Shortncss in money,
too, has induced many farmers to sell their
eve lambs for killing or for grazing, instead
of keeping them for breeding purposes. Pigs
still decrease in number, which is not surpris-
ing when you consider the quantity of cheap
pork sent in one form or another from the
