and it struck him that the cause of the dearness of meat 

 was partly to be found in the high price of food with 

 which the cattle had to be fed, and if provisions for 

 cattle could be cheapened, he thought this difficulty 

 could be solved. He wanted the people to understand 

 this, and he told them that malt was one of the best 

 things for feeding purposes (loud cheers) ; and seeing 

 that malt was so valuable to the farmer, he hoped in time 

 to see the present restrictions removed, and he suggested 

 that the Corn Laws having been repealed, it would be 

 only fair to repeal the malt duty." The rounds of 

 cheers with which this was received told plainly how 

 strongly the Suffolk agriculturists feel on the question. 

 The argument was certainly well put. Mr. Barthropp 

 replied for the Royal Agricultural Society, regretting 

 the absence of sucli firms as those of the Ransomes 

 and Garretts— whose fame had so much increased through 

 the influence of the Society — from its approaching 

 meeting. Mr. J. M. Wilson gave the Judges in just 

 thatstraiglilforward manner the toast should be offered, 

 requesting them to let the meeting know something of 

 the merits of what they had severally examined ; and 

 with Mr. Holmes' answer thereto a great majority of 

 the company left.
