POOR RATES IN WALES.
POOR RATES IN WALES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." SIB,—Are the Poor Rates increasing in Wales ? This is a question easily answered in the affirmative I have always been averse to the administration of the new Poor Law ever since its passing1 the Legislature, and it has become truly oppressive to the Welsh farmer. In 1833, under the old system, the quarterly rate in this parish was 5d in the pound or Is 8d annually the rate is now Is 2d in the pound or 4s 8d annually nearly 25 per cent. It is still increasing-, and will doubtless con- tinue to increase. The farmer is oppressed by the accu- mulation of other rates, the Police Hate, County Bate, Highway Rate, and the payment for the Lunatic Asylum. The new Union Houses have cost much unnecessary expense, and contain few paupers. Had they been con- structed and managed something similar to the old Gilbert Unions, they might have been partly self-sup- porting but no they must all be upon one uniform system, to admit of what is called the Workhouse Test." Something must soon be done to moderate the rates Perhaps our newly-appointed ministry, who promise economy in all departments, will devise some means to relieve the poor agriculturists. The Assess- ment Committees have signally failed either to equalize or moderate the rates. I happened to know of an union of three parishes in a purely agricultural county, who jointly held a farm of 70 acres they stocked it, &c., and employed their paupers upon it, making it nearly self-supporting. But the system of centralization must be adopted in 1834, and that union was dissolved, to the great loss of the ratepayers of these three parishes. I repeat that something must be done, or the rates will eat up the farmer's profits and leave him destitute of the means of supporting his own family, much less con- tributing towards the support of his poorer neighbours and the ticket-of-leave vagrants" who now infest the country.

AGRICULTURE. THE HIGH PRICE OF HORSE PROVENDER A CAUSE OF DISEASE. The price of wheat, the staple food of mankind throughout the temperate regions of the globe, proves a truthful index of the amount of human sickness and mortality. In like manner the money value of the various descriptions of provender tells notably on the health of the domesticated animals. Like our own food, the victuals of our four-footed servants have maintained, for many months, considerably more than their ordinary average value, and in various ways the health of stock has suffered therefrom. Indeed, but for the remarkable mildness of the winter, the health of the domestic animals would probably have been less favourable than it now is. A few days severe cold sharpens wonderfully the appetite of all healthy beasts food is required in larger amount to replenish the animal heat abstracted by low temperature. Notwithstanding the provender which the mild winter has thus economised, the food of stock still continues dear. Throughout most parts of the country hay at present costs upwards of six pounds per ton oats stand at about four shillings per bushel; and beans, even allowing for their extra weight, are still dearer, and fetch upwards of six shillings per bushel. Even wheat straw sells high, bringing from 45s to 60s per ton. Owing to this high range of prices the food of animals is being carefully economised. Hard worked horses often suffer from the scarcity and high price of their daily bread. They are apt to be put on short commons. They accordingly fail in condition galled shoulders and other bruises from the imperfectly fitting harness become common they are more apt to take colds and influenza, and are even more liable to strains and other accidents. In dear times they are also more likely to receive their food of inferior quality; the hay is frequently tops and bottoms; mouldy, coarse, and otherwise faulty the better qualities of horse-corn being dear, needy owners have to put up with their light, heated, or otherwise inferior grain. If the food of hard worked horses continues for a few weeks in- adequate in amount, wanting m nutritiveness, or of damaged or of faulty quality, much loss ensues swelled legs, farcy, diabetes, purpura, or glanders is apt to attack and carry off the unfortunate patient. The high price of hay has compelled horse-owners both in town and country, to use the bulk of it cut into chaff, and in some instances to eat up along with the hay a considerable quantity of wheat straw. Where the dry, hard, wheat-straw chaff is too freely given, it is apt to bring on indigestion. The chaff, being short and easily swallowed, passes without sufficient insaliva- tion and mastication into the stomach and small intes- tines, causes, probably by its dryness and bulk, mechani- cal obstruction, and from its hardness irritates the delicate mucous lining of the canal. Many cases of colic, stomach staggers, and even of inflammation of the bowels have in thIS way necn pruauwi. in M>m« Dmi- try districts we learn of several horses dying every week literally from chaff unskilfully given. Alike in horses and in cattle, the light dry chaff of wheat and barley is most apt to cause stomachic derangements. It appears this season to be particularly palatable it is accordingly greedily eaten the digestive juices fail adequately to moisten or reduce it, and hence it proves a fertile source of various forms of indigestion. Where large quantities of chaff or short cut food are used, as is at present very generally the case amongst draught horses, both in town and country, part of the chaff should be given damped. A little salt and water is in some stables used instead of plain water for moist- ening the dry chaff. On the appearance of any colicky or other such symptoms, a dose of aloes in solution, and a couple of days' restriction to a mash diet, will gene- rally ward off any formidable mischief. Rationally to economise oats and beans, an allowance of bruised Indian corn, to the extent of one-third, may be advan- tageously mixed with the more familiar horse corn. If straw is being freely substituted for hay, its dryness and deficiency of available nutriment may be made up to the heavy draught horse by a daily dose of a couple of pounds of oil-cake, or by linseed gruel mixed with his chaff, as is done for cattle beasts. 0 TREES AND SHRUBS IN A FARJM GARDEN.—Will you oblige me with an answer to the following queries ? If a farmer in England plant fruit trees against the walls of the farm house, fruit trees and berry-bushes of the various kinds in the garden, which is entirely new, there being no farm house or garden on the farm before, and plant a few poplar trees and some shrubs for shelter and ornament to the garden, is he entitled to be paid for what he planted, at the end of his lease, or can he remove them, there being no agreement with the land- lord about it, but the leave of his agent obtained, to plant the trees ? [The question in dispute should be amicably arranged between the landlord and tenant, as it appears to be a hard case that the improving tenant should have no redress. The law of the case is, that the landlord is not bound to pay the out-going tenant for the value of the trees planted. The poplar trees planted for shelter cannot be removed. The fruit trees chained to the walls of the farm house may perhaps be removable, but not the first trees planted in the garden as standard trees, always excepted that the ground was not occupied in part as a nursery for the raising and sale of trees and plants generally. The ornamental shrubs, gooseberry, and currant bushes are removable by the tenant, unless the agreement specified that shrubs and bushes are to be left undisturbed in the ground at the termination of the occupancy.] PREVENTION- OF BLACKLEG IN YoCXCr CATTLE. Will you please, in your next, state what you consider best as a preventive against blackleg r A great number of young cattle are dying in the Isle of 3Ian. Aly next neighbour has recently lost seven yearlings.—[Blackleg, like many other disorders, is a long time in brewing. The person or animal bitten by the mad dog enjoys perfect health for weeks, or even months, after the fatal poison has entered his system. The cow that has picked up the subtile virus of pleuro-pneumonia sickens only six or eight weeks later. In like manner the con- ditions on which the blackleg depends are in operation weeks or even months before the animal appears to have anything amiss with it. The dry summer, the scanty herbage during July and August, the scarcity of water -hardships experienced several months ago-are chiefly to blame for many of the present losses from blackleg. If such facts are understood, as they should be, it will be evident that there can be no patent process of pre- vention. No antidote is known which has the power of neutralising the peculiar virus of blackleg when once it has formed. Nay more, there is probably some un- certainty in checking the elimination of the virus when once its formation has been begun. This is fairly pre- sumable from what is known regarding the development of fevers, smallpox, and other such disorders resulting from organic poisons. The only certain prevention of blackleg consists in keeping the young cattle always going on steadily improving at no period must they either be forced or allowed to stand still. A reasonable allowance of linseed cake or of linseed lias a valuable influence in conserving health., probably owing to its keeping the bowels and skin in good order. Many young cattle die from blackleg and other complaints oil account of their being kept out on the grass late in the autumn and after the herl age has lost its nutritive pro- perties. All calves should be regularly housed at night and receive some dry food and a little cake as soon as Sentember sets in. One other matter is well worthy of note -all calves as soon as they are four or 1i ve IIlùríths old, should be setoned in the dewlap. Setons probably operate beneficially, chiefly by increasing the amount of fibriue in the blood. Although certainly useful, they will not, however, cure from blackleg, calves which are mismanaared, which have checks in their thriving, are badly nourished, or exposed in the fields to inclement winter weather. Besides feeding your calves mode- rately. and supplying them with a daily allowance of linseed cake or of boiled linseed, which in proportion to its nutritive .value, is at present cheaper than cake, you miirht advantageously give each of them, along with their food, half an ounce daily of sulphite of soda. This valuable anticcptic, having like common salt, only a saline taste, will be readily eaten in a mash drink in gruel, or taken along with bruised cake or chopped food. If the calves are in low condition they will re- quire much care, for it is just when they are improving in health and vigour that the insidious blackleg strikes them down. If weakly, they had better besides have a drachm daily of the tincture of the chloride of iron administered in water, a little ale, or linseed gruel whilst to avoid derangement of the bowels, which in such cases is apt to precede attacks of blackleg, a small dose of castor-oil should be given every ten days.]

The Rev David Vaughan, vicar of St. Martin's Leices- shire, a clergyman rather more closely associated with the Liberal party in the Church than his brother the Vicar of Doncaster, has announced in a letter to his parishioners that with the concurrence of his church- wardens he proposes to make considerable changes in deference to the recent decision in the Mackonachie case. The letter points out that neither Mr Vaughan nor the churchwardens are influenced by any sentimen- tal considerations they only wish to obey the law. With this view pew-rents will be abolished, and a weekly offertory substituted, but the seats, though free, will not be unappropriated. The Geneva gown will be discarded, and the surplice worn in the pulpit as well as in the desk and at the communion table. As to the position (not the posture, which it has been decided, must be standing) of the officiating minister at the communion table during the Consecration Prayer, Mr Vaughan and his churchwardens think that neither that nor tne vestments nave Deen settled uy i/ue juigme They are quite sure," the letter adds, that, if they were settled in a sense favourable to Ritualism, legisla- tion mus' ine-vitably and immediately follow (a result to be exceedingly deprecated at present), in order to bring the practice of the Church into conformity with the feelings and convictions of the immense majority of Churchpeople of the country." They believe that the surplice (with hood, and perhaps stole also) is the only legal vestment for the officiating minister in the English Church and it will be adopted accordingly in St Martin's Church. THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION. -On Thursday afternoon the long-expected Appendix to the Report of the Irish Church Commissioners appeared. It contains, besides a record of the meetings of the Commissioners, and the evidence (not of great importance) of a few witnesses examined before them, a paper of inquiries transmitted to the bishops, dignitaries, and other ecclesiastical persons and corporations with various statistical returns of the Board of Ecclesiastical Com- missioners. The most important feature of the Appen- dix is described as "papers relating to subjects of importance which in the course of the inquiry were prepared for the use of the Commission." No. 7 of these documents consists of Observations by Dr Ball, the legal Commissioner, on the laws regulating the leasing and granting in perpetuity of lands belonging to ecclesiastical persons and corporations." There is also given portions of a draft bill prepared by the Primate and Dr Stephens, Q.C., in 1865, to amend the Church Temporalities Acts and likewise suggestions by several bishops for the rearrangement of benefices within their dioceses. The Rev Dr Reeves contributes a paper on the Primacy of Ireland." Colonel Adair, one of the Commissioners, suggests a rearrangement of dioceses, as also does the Bishop of Down. The latter would reduce the Irish Episcopate to one archbishop and five bishops, and call the new dioceses Down, Armagh, Dublin, Ossory, Tuam, and Cork. Colonel Adair would retain one metropolitan, three provincial bishops, and eight suffragans until next avoidance." There should be, he thinks, but one court of judicature at Armagh, to whose archbishop he would give only £ 3,500, the other provincials getting 12,5oo. He would reduce the deans and chapters to the same level of one metropolitan dean and chapter and three pro- vincials. Sir Joseph Napier and Mr Shirley also make suggestions, retaining nine bishops and the Earl of Meath and Mr Clive seven. These various proposals are accompanied in the Appendix with maps tracing the limits of the new episcopal jurisdictions, according to the diocesan schemes. Mr Shirley supplies a "Historical sketch of the Endowments of the Church of Ireland." In this he says:—"Of the original patrimony of the Church before the Anglo-Norman invasion but little remains, and that little consists solely of lands of the tithes and lands granted to the Church between the eras of the invasion and the Reformation, probably the whole of the lands, and one moiety at least of the tithes are in the hands of the laity, having been dissevered from the Church at the fall of the monasteries in 1536. Of the remaining property of the Church—viz., the glebe lands, no less than five-sixths were granted to the reformed Church since the Reformation the same may be said of the bishops' lands in Ulster, which were granted in 1609. It is evident, therefore, that the Church at the present time is in possession of much smaller endowments than it was once entitled to, and that a large proportion of the remaining endowments have been acquired since the Reformation in the six- teenth century." The rest of the Appendix is made up of lists of grants of lands and glebes, a catalogue of benefices of which the annual income is wholly or in part derived from permanent endowments by private persons.

BREAKFAST.-Epps's COCOA —GRATEFUL AND COM- FORTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara- tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks The singular success which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well- selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctor's bills."

R 48 THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.-A most interesting and instructive little work, describing briefly, but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and clock making, has just been published by Mr J. W. BENSON, of 2.5, Old Bond Street, 99, Wfatbonrne Urove, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and 60, Ludgate Hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase without visiting the aboTe establishments or consulting thi Iruly valuable work. By it' ^id persons rrsiditit; in any part of the United King- dom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to oe;e:t for them- :>.he, the watch best adapted for their use, and have it ,seut to th, in %vi*h perfect safety. Mr Bellson, who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any addrefs on receipt of two postage stamps, and we cannot too strongly rccumuieud it to the notice of ho iutcuding purchaser.

The Weekly Register says that Renan's Life of Jesus" is openly read in the Italian girls' school. Prince Arthur is to pay a visit to Ireland next month. So says the Irish Times Official information has been received in Ireland that Prince Arthur will visit the country next month. His Royal Highness, it is thought, will stay a couple of months. The ecclesiastical Commissioners, who have previous- ly contributed to the expenditure incurred in the resto- ration of Ripon Cathedral,have made a further grant of £5,000 towards the same object. The Lords of the Admiralty have decided that the sum of money devoted to experiments shall be reduced this year from £12,000 to £2,000. This is a sensible reduction from the £30,000, which was annually taking during the infancy of armour-plates. The Swindon magistrates have sent for trial Mr George Horsell, of Whitehill Farm, Wootton Bassett, a wealthy farmer, for intimidating, a workman in his employ at the late Cricklade election. Mr Horsell was admitted to bail. The Registrar-General is very much dismayed at the proposal to authorize ministers of all denominations to register marriages. Even as it is, the illegibility of the clerical handwriting causes a vast amount of error and confusion. In many cases the names of the bride and bridegroom have to be entered in the general index with aliases "owing to the bad writing of the eccleBiasticics" who filled up the original record. Hence it not un- frequently happens that when search is made for a mar- riage it cannot be found—rather a serious thing under certain circumstances. Mr. Thomas Price, a farmer of New Radnor, was ad- mitted to the Worcester Infirmary on the 14th ult., being then and until his death suffering from a painful disease. One of the surgeons (Mr. Sheppard), whose patient Mr Price was, performed a successful operation, and be was going on favourably. On Sunday evening, however, Mr Price died, "as if in a fit," the nurse said. It then ap- peared that the dispenser had sent Mr Price the wrong medicine—some carbolic acid, which was used as an enema, and the patient died twenty minutes afterwards. At the inquest the jury found that the man died from the effects of carbolic acid, but said there was no evidence to show that any person was guilty of gross negligence. The case is to be further investigated. The present Government is so clearly determined to reduce the Civil Service estimates that we can scarcely believe the story we are now going to repeat. The place of Secretary to the Board of Works, to which a salary of £1,200 a year was attached, became vacant a short time since. Two rival claimants at once started up—each with his own claims and his own patrons—or, more strictly speaking, one with his claim and the other with his patron. The economically dis- posed Government solved difficulty by appointing both competitors, as joint secretaries at the reduced rate of £ 1,000 a year each. The place of an assistant-secretary has, it is true, been abolished, but it was long ago con- demned as an unnecessary expense, with no duties attached to it but such as could be discharged by either the secretary or the senior clerk. Is it really true that these appointments have been made ?—Pall Mall Gazette. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—Many persons neglect to take the commonest precautions against illness, whereby they are exposed to future suffering or probably danger. Colds, coughs, and oppression at the chest should be removed without delay by rubbing this cooling, derivative ungent twice a day upon the skin covering the chest, and its sanatory action should be augmented by the use of Holloway's Pills as pro- pounded in their accompanying directions. The same means diligently carried on will relieve influenza, asthma, shortness of breadth, palpitation, and almost every other pectoral complaint. But the cause of the malady known or unknown matters not. Holloway's remedies are competent to expel all corruptions from the system to regulate disordered functions, and to restore nervous tone. The readers of the Catholic paper, L' Union, must have been astonished the other day to find M. Jules Janin figuring among its contributors. That journal, however, has just published a tale written by M. Janin under very interesting circumstances, which we can best make know by quoting the dictation. "The Silver Crucifix," as the work is called, is preceded by these lines To the memory of my dear sister Camille Brazier Janin, who died in the month of May, 1868, at Saint Rambert, in the exercise of the most peaceful and solid virtues. She often said to me, Why do you not write specially for me a little story that an ignorant, timid Christian may read?' Then I wrote these pages, but too late; and I lay them, weeping, on her tomb." Beadsman, winner of the Derby in 1858, is receiving the attention due to the sire of Blue Gown, who won the Derby in 1868, of Green Sleeve, who won the Middle Park Plate in 1867, of Rosicrucian, who won the Cri- terion Stakes in 1 ¡()i. flnrt nf Porn frnrnsi. whn the Middle Park Plate in 18G8. Regalia, winner of the Oaks in 18G;j, and Achivement, winner of the St. Leger in 1867, and of a prodigious number of races altogether, have been sent on a visit to him at Hurstbourne Park. The event is regarded with much interest by lovers of horse racing, and is expected to result in foals which will fetch a high price even if they do nothing after- wards. In the words of a sporting authority Beadsman promises to have a brilliant season." In the Contemporary Review the Rev Dr C. Merivale gives the result of his local observations with reference to the physical condition of the rural population. He believes that they are fast deteriorating in physique, and he is anxious to learn what the experience of others teaches on the subject. People in his parish sometimes live to a great age, but generally speaking the powers of life seem to be weaker. Their style of living has cer- tainly not improved. In the course of twenty years no. thing has changed for better, except that tea and sugar are cheaper. Meat is dearer, and flour" has hardly fallen at all on the average." Milk, butter, and vege- tables are more difficult to get than ever. Rent is a little higher than it used to be. The people have weak constitutions, and their children are also sickly, and al- though medical science prevents so many deaths among infants as used to occur, yet the babes only grow up to be still more enfeebled than their parents, and engen- der a third generation more degenerate than ever." The point thus suggested will be new to many persons— namely, that very little is ultimately gained by the pre- servation of weakly infants. No doubt it seems a very hard theory to advance, and Dr Merivale half apologizes for even mentioning it. If I am obliged to say that, in my view, the saving and sustaining of weak and sickly life tends more to produce physical degeneracy among us than to avert it, I trust that I shall not be supposed for a moment to discourage or deprecate the efforts," &c. The author may raise up against him some female voices, but his facts and inferences are worth inquiring into. The refusal of the Goverment to permit the bishops and clergy of the Irish Church to assemble in convoc- ation has been discussed at a meeting of the Irish bishops in Dublin, and a series of resolutions was adopted, the purport of which was that as the bishops did not possess authority to enter into negotiation on behalf of the Church in respect of arrangements which could only follow on legislative changes which they had no right to regard as inevitable, and which they were bound to protest against and resist, the counsel and co-operation of both clergy and laity should be earnestly invited. The Bishop of Down and Connor dissented, and has published his protest. He says he feels called upon at the present crisis in the Church's affairs to consider what is best calculated to secure her future stability, which he thinks would be seriously imperilled by prematurely pledging ourselves to protest against and resist changes,' and to decline entering into any negotiations, even though we could not do so authoratively." He holds that, without, forfeiting principle, the bishops could with advantage to the Church confer with the Prime Minister (whose sincere attachment to its doctrines no one can doubt), in the hope of procuring such a modification of any measure under discussion which they consider un- necessarily calculate to injure her, and which would be too late when the Government had once committed themselves to a definite bill. In the Beehive there is a report of a meeting of about "lIeventy leading working men," which throws some light on the favorite views of the industrial classes. Mr S. Morley and the Rev. C, Nevile addressed the meeting, but the chief interest attaches to the speeches of the working men themselves as to their grievances and the remedies they seek. Several members denoun- ced the land laws, but rather vaguely. Mr Guile (iron- moulder) complained that ten millions of acres should be lying uncultivated to the disadvantage of the com- munity. Mr Leicester (glassmaker) thought it has bad, if not worse, that there should be 1,600,000 acres under cultivation for barley, capable for producing 1,300,000,000 of 41b. loaves, but diverted to the pro- duction of malt. He deplored the distress caused by an expediture of £200 a minute in intoxicating drinks, and called upon the Government to make virtue easy and vice hard. Mr Green (tailor) as a teetotaller a dvocated the opening up of the liquor trade, believ- ing that the artificial respectability which the licensing system gave to public-houses encouraged drunkenness." Mr Connolly (stonemason) congratulated the meeting that a nobleman's rank was no longer known by the number of supports to the gibbet on which he was privileged to bang the people who were subject to him." He seemed to regard the monstrous expense of the army and navy as a relic of those evil days, declar- ing that instead of £27,000,000, half of that sum was enough for such purposes, so that taxation might be reduced. It It had been shown," he said, "in a work by William Chambers, that 9s a week in Switzerland wtt.3 equal to 24s in England and of course they could live cheaper, they could work cheaper, and compete with foreign countries. Mr Connelly, apparently, took no account of how a Swiss peasant lives for 98 a week. Mr Guile also referred to the public expenditure, and remarked sarcastically that the Government had begun by dismissing the workmen from the dock- yards, leaving salaries above £1,000 a year un- touched.
