THE FARMERS* CIRCLE.
THE FARMERS* CIRCLE. (BY ONZ wrretH ;rr.,¡) A sample oi oats in the Crieff sxmrket last week weighed 48i lbe per bushel. This is believed to be the heaviest sample ever seen in the market. A London Dairy Company have issued a notice to their customers informing them that "the very serious and lengthened droughts that have occurred during the year have caused food and litter for cows and horses, &c., to become so scarce and dear that the increased cost thereof to the com- pany for the next twelve months is esti- mated at about 94,750. It will therefore be impossible for this, or-in our opinion- any other firm to deliver pure whole milk with all its cream to private customers un- der.5,1 a quart." At a meeting of the members of the Chester Farmers' Club a discussion took place as to the advisability of memorialising the authorities at Somerset House to reduce the standard in testing the quality of milk. It was contended that it was unjust to con- vict farmers of adulterating milk when it was only of poor quality, as it was known that the season and the method of feeding ws was the cause of the inferior quality of mueh of the milk. A resolution was carried requesting the Somerset House authorities to adopt a more reliable standard when making milk analysis. In leply to a farmer, who asks advice as 0 the treatment of young clover growing n oat stubbles, Professor James Long says: —reeding off a young clover plant is not good farming. It needs every protection, and, when the young plant is eaten down closely by sheep, it is less able to withstand the rigours of winter. By far the better plan wcllid be to simply give it a coat of manure, which will have the effect of strengthening and protecting it. Clover ia i "lfhcult plant to obtain, but it is easily J destroyed, and the best plan, therefore, on run part of an inexperienced man is to a rro vly watch the result of any experi- ment he tries upon it for his own informa- tion there is nothing like practical experi ment in this direction. A small pieee mi^ht sown and manured, and another small ;rece eaten off by sheep. 8 ELLINO STOOK BY WEIGHT. L, rd Coventry in his interesting com uunuation refers in a mild but suggestive fashion to the selling 81 farm live stock by weight. Although, probably, this is not a question for the Commission to 3well at any grea length upm, it nevertheless largely concerns the interests of the farf If the Commission, after inquiring into the matter, could recommend that the selling by weight be made compulsory, so much the better. But we hold that the case is not one that should be left to legislation to rectify. The farmers have the remedy in their own hands, and it only requires a little skilful and united manoeuvring to bring the obstinate salesmen into line. If tne* t'x. posers insist on having their animal* sold by weight or simply weighed in the ring before being sold, as is already done in many marta in Scotland, the auctioneer can- not very well refuse to comply. At least, if he does so it is at the risk of losing the custom or patronage of the progremve I farmer. We are strongly in favour of the auction system of selling farm stock, but only when it is conducted on the best and I most approved principles, and certainly one of the chief of these is the weighing of the auitpuls, and the exposing of the weight while they are being sold. Mr Westly liichards has worked long and persistently to briag the system into general practice. We regret to say, huwever, that his praise- worthy efforts have met with but indifferent success. England is unaccountably slow to move in the matter. Scotland, und-ir tl indefatigable leadership of Mr John D. McJanet, has made much more rapid pro- gress. In almost every auction mart of uay importance a weigh-bridge is placed at the disposal of the exposer, and the privilege is very largely and generally tak n udvauiu^t of. This fact is cle irJy continued by tilt recent return issued by the Board of Agri- culture, which shows that in Scotland non one-fourth to one-third of the cattle solI art- weighed, whereas in England only aboui one-forty-fifth of the total animals past- over the scales. The progress the method has made in Scotland, as already hinted, is entirely due to the energy and anthusiasm of Mr J. D. McJanet Some ears ago Mr McJanet instituted at his farm in Fifeshire what is now generally known as the" Block Teet," and to the active and self-sacrificing manner in which he has worked this convincing system of instruction is largely due the gratifying advance the reformed method of dealing has made be- yond the border. After a few very surcess- full demonstrations at his own farmtwh r. he invariably at ractt-d large companies o; stockowner-, the originator of the" Blo k lest" sought and secured wider fields 0: operation, with the result that a Scottish agricultural show is now hardly reckoned complete that does not number among its attractions the popular and instructive block test. Participation in these very useful competitions clearly showed the farmer that he almost invariat ly under-estimated the carcase value of his animal, and, therefore,: he became a convert to the use of the scales. It was just another instance of demonstra- tion succeeding where argument had singularly failed. Mr McJannet has greatly aided the cause he has so persistently advo- cated by preparing and publishing tables, the contents of which were ascertained from his own practical experience, and which have been proved to be thoroughly reliable. [Oa the principle that what succeeded in Scotland should succeed in England, we elieve that a well-organised system of Block Test" demonstrations would do much to bring the English farmers to fullv realise the unquestionable advantage gained by the use of the scales. Because there is probably some slight extra care required, we expect "proved benefit" by the process would have a more agreeable and effective iafluence in establishing the system than enforced regulations. JtfAJJTnUNG PASTU=. The report of the last eighteen months* [field experiments conducted at tho Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, has just been on Wished. Professor Kinch tabulates the results, and supplies the necessary com- ments In his pamphlet we have the results of t!i« ;'fistuio experiments of li#- and 893 The former are regarded as far from satisfactory; but what of the present year's returns? Ia 1892 about half an average crop was obtained; this year the growth was of even lees account, but, as the neces- sities of the College herd caused the whole field to be grazed, the exaet weight of the trifling yield could not be ascertained. The results at this well-known centre of agricul- tural knowledge and learning, as revealed by the small publication to hand, appears to convey a pretty accurate index of the hay crcp of the last two seasons, as pertaining to the southern three-fourths of England. In 1892 the hay crop was decidedly disappoint- ing at the College, as it was throughout al- most the whole of England. The heaviest yield obtained from any of the twenty plots experimented with was only twenty Midi one-eighth cwt. to the acre, while the lowest was but nine and seven-eighths cwt., while the half of them returned under 13 cwt. per acre. The peculiar nature of the year re- ferred to—1892—seems to have exercised a strange effect upon the influence of the re- spective manures. If the figures submitted by Professor Kinch supply trus.wor hy evi- dence several of the dressings, such as farmyard, Thomas' basic slag, sodium of nitrate, kainit, and rape meal, when applied alone, produced an injurious rather than an aiding result. The plots on w h ch these manures were applied singly all failed to reach the manured plot in the matter of quantity of yield. The best yield was ob- tained from the plot dressed with kainit, superphosphate,and sodium nitrate. This was followed for the second place by the plot re- ceiving kainit, superphosphate, and am- monia sulphate, which gave twenty cwt. per acre, compared with twenty-two and one-eighth cwt. from the other, and twelve and a half from the unmanured plot. The other successful dressings were superphos- phate and ammonia sulphate, nineteen and one-eighth cwt.; kanit and sodium nitrate, nineteen cwt.; superphosphate and sodium nitrate, nineteen cwt.; kainit and super- phosphate, sixteen cwt.; ammonia sulphate alone, sixteen cwt.; kainit and ammonia sulphate, fifteen and three-eighths cwt.; and uano alone, fourteen and seven-eighths cwt The best of these yields are far from reach- ing a satisfactory standard, and give a miserably poor return for the outlay en- tailed. The accounts for th" present year are immeasurably worse. The repor: dis- misses the subject with the doleful remark, there was very little grass, owing to the drought; where soluble nitrogen, especially nitrate, had been applied, the grass was darker and grew a little more, but even here the crop was not worth much." The par- ticulars, we are afraid, famish but too true an estimate of the past two seasons' hay crop—-in 189*2 about half an average crop and this year a great deal less. +

MARVSLLOUS RESULTS. If we said these t hings of ourselves the public might well doubt, but never has a remedy received the unqualified endorsement that "Homocea" has received.

Eleven months on a water bed. CURED IN ONE MONTH BY "HOMOCEA." Mitcham, S.W. cI wish to inform you that the use of your "Homoeea" has produced most satisfactory results. Briefly the case is as follows :-A young woman under hospital treatment for thirteen months for disease of the hip joint, came to consult me after the splints and other appliances had been removed; she kept the recumbent position for eleven months on a water bed and suffered much pain, and could neither walk nor go upstairs without enduring the most severe agonies of pain, all apparently associated with the origin and distribution of the sciatic nerve; in bed, also, the least movement of the affected limb gave much pain. I came to a satisfactory diagnosis that the pain was entirely of a neuralgic nature, and no longer due to the diseased hip, in which I believe that I was supported by the advisers she had at the hospital; therefore, I at once put her on such local and internal treatment as might benefit her, but with little if any result. At last I tried your "Homocea," and after just a month's use, the young woman is, I might say, quite well; the Improvement, however, was very soon apparent: •he can now walk comfortably, and easily ascend a flight of stairs, and does not complain of any pain whatever.

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE. The last three days of SAptember were mild and showery, just what farmers re- quired. Similar weather throughout October would put the land in an excellent state for autumn sowings but at present it is too dry, and we do not expect that the too dry, and we do not expect that the actual sowing of wheat for 1894 will be accomplished for three or four weeks from n-iw, even in the most forward districts. November, in fact, will be as usual the chief sowing month here, though in France, where September drought was less marked than in Great Britain, the farmer is already so busy sowing that market attendance and deliveries are notably decreased. Ihe threshings of now English wheat proceed at a fair rate, and the good quality of samples is making itself felt. New wheat is quite lie dearer than old, besides com- manding the readier sale. The average price for English wheat for September was 36s.. and thus compares with preceding seasons:— 1893. 1892. 1891. s. d. ii. d. a. d.

We expect October to show some rally, and but for the extraordinary accumulation of foreign whea and flour in granary, we should anticipate a 30s. quotation by Christmas. What this accumulation amounts to is not clearly known, for the blessings of local self-government include a pleasing variety >f mourhly returns, quarterly returns, and no returns at all. Now, the well-known organ of the millers of Great Britain pre- w/es an impartiality which is in ac- cordance with the best tradition of English journalism. At the same time it is not to be supposed that it has that interest in higher prices for English wheat which the English farmer has, aud its, therefore, incumbent on the latter to demand for the Board of Agri- culture, formed expressly in his interest, powers to ascertain from time to time what tores of foreign grain are in the country. A fact upon which we have particular information, the number of cargoes on pass- age t; the Unite Kingdom, is by no means reassuring, as wi 1 be seen from the figures given in their usual position a little further on in this article. Stocks in hand have risen, aud yet there are 465,000 quarters on passage now than at the beginning of the year. Here is a clear step in the wrong direction, and we have once more to indicate this excessive buying forward at the begin- iog of a new cereal campaign as the plague i spot in modern trade. Our total require- ments of imports for 1893-4 may be put at about twenty millions, and, reckoning due supplies on passage at any givpn moment as one-twelth of total needs, the total should be a little under 1,700,000 quarters The pres- ent quantity is at the rate of 33,632,000 quarters yearly imports, and is calculated to completely discourage spot holders. The course of the big port markets has been one of littlo change since our last review; all improving tendencies are arrested by the imprudent speculation in futures.
WOOL.
WOOL. BRADFORD MONDAY.—The wool market has a steady and confident tone and there is an encourag- ing and healthy business being done. In Eng- lish wool the demand for super lustres is sus- tained and full rates are obtainable more easily than was the case up to ten days or so ago. Advances are asked by staplers in order to keep this market up to the country standard, but tae attempt to improve values meets with but little success. For demi wools the demani shows some improvement, though business in this branch is not as satisfactory as could be wished. In colonial wools additional firmness has been given to valuoB here by the advance which has been established at the London sales, but while top- autkers find that it is easier to do business at old rates both in cross-breds and merinos, they are unable to obtain commensurate with the sale values. Mohair and alpaca are in steady request and values remain firm.

LONDON, MONDAY.—Wheat: The cargo market is extremely slow, and the inquiry for anivedt cargoes is most disappointing. There is no evi- dence of any special anxiety to realise, but la many instances values are barely steady. is steady at about late rates, but trade is exjeedc iagly slow. Barley quiet; oats dull; beau* steady. At Mark Lane there was a considerable attendance, but trade was not active, and in mangf c-ises there was a tendency in buyer's favour- Engli&h wheat was in fair request at previous rates. Foreign was rather slow of sale at receat currencies. Flour was more freely offered, but there was no change in value. Maizj was ia moderate demand at about last week's rates* Barley waa 3d cheaper for grinding qualities, and oats were quoted at a similar decline. Beans amS peas quiet and unchanged. DEAD MEAT. LONDON, MONDAY.—The supply this mnnnW was large, a considerable proportion being itc and middling and inferior quality left un last week. The trade was exceptionally there being but few buyers and prices v< low. Top rates were realised in some instances but quotations are quite nominal. At present, there seems but little prospect of the martefr being cleared for some days. The primp were as under :-Inferior beef, Is Sd to jg 4d. middling ditto, 2s 8d to 3s 4d.; prime ditto So 20 to 3s lOd.; Scotch ditto, 3s 8d to 4s Od; Ameri- can Liverpool killed, best, 3s 2d to 3s 4d; ditto second, 2s lOd to 3s Od; ditto hind-anartprs Ka of to 3s 4d; ditto forequarters, 2 Od to Us 4d.

CATTLE. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The supply of cattle wa. smaller than Jast, week, an of sheep and lambtf larger. The demand was slow for cattle at the lowest prices of this season. Sheep and lambs met a very bad trade, especially the latter, at macb lower prices. Beef, first class, 6d; second clast, Gid; third class, 44d; mutton audi amb, 7d to 5d per lb. Live-weight cattle, 32s to 2;-{g per 0Wt., or 4s to 3s per 141b. At market, 2,210 cattle &ad 10,964 sheep and lambs. LONDOM, MONDAY.—Tho total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 1.118 head. The cattle trade has been som whafr quiet. Beasts were were in moderate supply, but there was again a marked difference in the quality and condition of the produce. Busin -ss pra- gressed quietly. Choice breeds from their scarcity commanded extreme prices, but other sorts were irregular. The best Scots, Runts, and Herefords made 4s lOd to 5s; heavy Lincolns, 4s 6d to 48 8 per Sib. The supply of sheep in the pens was about up to the average. Business was of a slow nature, and prices had a tendency in favour ot buy rs. Prices were weak, and the choicest small Downs did not readily make 5s 4d per 8lb; 9-stoner 5s 2d 10-stone, 5s; 10-stone half-breds, 4s 10d 5 -md 12-stone Lincolns, 4s 6d per 8 lbs. Calves were quiet but steady. Pigs sold but slowly. WOOL. LEICESTER, MONIDA-T.rhe month opens with a. brighter prospect on the ground of a large tium- of miners resuming work again this week. Wool values still tend to favour sellers, and if the con- sumption largely increases this month—which is more frequency the experience—higher priees in some classes of wool and yarns will be readily made.-Reduction all round has been enormously curtailed during the past month, and both sDinner* and manufacturers are proceeding with extreme caution.

B- Harvey, Sylfaen centre, and Miss Hannah Lewis, and Miss Elizabeth Pugh, Montgomery centre, were equal for the second prize of X2.

Among those present during the progress of the examination at Sylfaen were Mr Humphreys-Owen and Mr Marshall Dug- p c dale, at the Montgomery the visitors included Mr and Mrs Fairies-Humphreys and Mrs Humphr jys-0 wen. The examiners expressed themselves fulls satisfied with the work done at the diffierent centres. During the past season a consider- able amount of work has been done at several centres in the coantry by means of the travelling dairy, which has been in charge of Miss Johnstone, the instructress in butter making at the school, to w teaching at the school and at the ou,id,- centres the improved theoretical knowledge shown by the candidates is mainly due. Since undertaking her duties at Sylfaen two years ago. Miss Johnstone had not only taken the college advanced certificate in general dairy work, but attended the special dairy class for teachers at Bangor during last February, and thus has excellent quali fications for carrying on the work entrusted to her. In the conduct of this examination great care is taken that candidates have a thorough practical, as well as a the- oretical kuowledga of dairy work in th9 sub- jects covered by them, and it is satief Ldory to find that these certificates are now recog- nised by competent authorities as excellent testimonials.
