Abstract
THE current number of the Royal Agricultural Society's Journal is chiefly occupied with reports of the agricultural exhibitions held during the present summer at Liverpool and at Hamburg, and with reports on farms in Lancashire, Cheshire, and North Wales, which obtained the Society's prizes for good management at the Liverpool meeting. Another report deals with prize farms in Ireland in connection with the competition for small farms instituted by Earl Spencer. Besides these we have two lengthy papers on the American export meat trade, by Prof. Sheldon, of Cirencester, and by Prof. Alvord, of Easthampton, Massachusetts; three papers on village clubs, by Sir E. C. Kerrison, and Mr. Lawes; a paper on the impurities of clover seed, by Mr. Carruthers; and a short report of some investigations on foot-and-mouth disease, conducted at the Brown Institution.
