OBITUARY. 
EFFECTS OF CATTLE DISEASE. 
The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard remarks that we are 
losing food, and the farmers are, therefore, losing the value of that 
food, in consequence of the foot and mouth disease and pleuro- 
pneumonia, to an extent which would be equal to a rise of 10s. on 
a low estimate or 14s. on a high one on every quarter of wheat that 
we shall require to import between this and next harvest ; to say 
nothing of the deterioration of the quality of a very large quantity 
of the meat which is not actually condemned as diseased, the value 
of which it is not easy to estimate.
