CARDINAL MORAN’S VISIT.

Cardinal Moran has sent an cfficla report, dated March 24. to the Propacanda In Rome, giving an account of his recent visit to New Zealand, The Some correspondent of the London * Tablet gives the following summary of it ; “ His Eminence received the most c ndial welcome from all classes, inc’u.Ung th l Government of New Zealand, the Governor doing all possible honor to the flrat cardinal visiting that Colony Twenty thousand people, mostly Protestants and Presbyterians, met him at Donedin, where His Eminence consecrated a new and splendid cathedral. At Wellington, where he Inaugurated the new college of 8t Patrick, built at an oulby of L2<),0"0, the Governor gave a grand banquet and a garden party to the Cardinal Archbishop, who wss accompained by >he Bishops of Maitland, Adelaide, Dunedin, Auckland, Wellington, and their secretaries. A private entertainment was also given In their honor, at which over 2000 of the principal personages of the Colony took part, in eluding the Governor and ’ he Chief Justice. At Auckland the party were received with regal honors, and found awaiting them a State carraee drawn by six white Arabian horses, with attendants in scarlet liveries. The address of welcome was read by the Minister of Justice, whilst the travelling carriages were provided by the Colonial Secretary, Mr Buckley, though the two officials abovensmed, the Cardinal states, are at variance with the Bishops of Wellington and Auckland B shop Rey nolds, of Adelaide, in writing to the Propaganda on the same subject, under date March 27, says that the visit of Cardinal Moran to New Zealand will prove of incalculable benefit; that reception was truly loyal, even the Orangemen taking part therein, and that at the banquet given at Wellington, , presided over by the Governor in person, all the Protestant ladies claimed the privilege accorded their Catholic sisters to kiss the ring of the Cardinal, whose general courtesy and kindly word* won all hearts ”

A CURIOUS DISEASE

A most serious epidemic has broken oat on CJoonong Station, New South Wales, the property of Mr S. McOaughey, amongst the horses of the station. A recent despatch tays: Since Sunday six very valuable horses have died, and ten others have been attacked, some of which are dying. The exact nature of the disease la not known at present. A post mortem, was made by the inspector of attck, which showed that the lungs were very much enlarged anl protruding ; the passage of the throat was almost cioied by the enlargement of the tongue. The other organa were healthy. Two dot,s, which were chained close to the stable, were attack'd by the disease. One is dead, and th» other nearly dead. Nothlig like this disease has ever been known in the dis trict before. One of the horses which has died is a stallion valued at 400 guineas and the others are valuable hunters and draught horses. The Govern ment veterinary surgeon, and Mr Day, private veterinary surgeon, visited the station te Investigate the matter. They have telegraphed that the disease is local, there being no evidence of an epi demic. The post mortem appearancs learly indicate the < fleets of poisonous citation symptoms, acd the progress of the disease is unusual and ambiguous Five more horses are dead, and eleven are now under treatment by Mr Day.

CURING BACON.

According to the Wiltshire mode of making bacon, there is much to be done between the killing of the hog and laying the sides in wooden troughs, and much again afterwards. In the first place, after killing the hog, it must hang at least twenty-four hours to stiffen. It musi then be cut np into two neat hams and two sides or flitches. The backbone must be taken ont by first sawing down the middle, and then across the end of the ribs, holding the knife or saw, for both are used, at an angle of 45 degrees. The ribs can be taken out or left in, as pre ferred. The hams must be neatly ronnded and trimmed, and the whole four pieces must be well sprinkled with salt, and allowed to lie twenty four hours to let the blood run out. Then mix the following ingredients * — coarse sngar, bay salt, 6ozs. saltpetre pounded, 11b common Balt. Lay one of the flitches on a stone table or floor where the brine can ran off, and rub a quarter of the mixture well into it; lay the second flitch on the top, and proceed in the same way ; lastly, the bam, taking care in every ease, to lay the inside np, and have plenty of mixture sprinkled over. It should lie thus for a month, turning It every other day, potting the top flitch to the bottom, and adding a little fresh salt if mnch briu has ran off. It should then be hung in the smoke of a wood fire for about ten days. The Dumfriesshire method is to use salt and saltpetre only—the latter to give a color to the meat and be’p the Balt to penetrate—putting on fresh salt as the brine rnns off ; letting It He for a month or six weeks, turning it or ce or twice during that time, aod drying it in a gentle heat

HOW BAD BUTTER IS MADE.

Mr Willa/d, an American ebemis*, in a lecture upon this subject, gives ranch weight to causes which affected iho r’r terioration In the quality of the i . and which should be carefully considers A by consumers. The presence of d’rt a o dust in the milk-pail, the inhalitg tt foul odors by the cows, at the pasture and elsewhere, and the drinking of putrid water —these are brought forward, be cause they are overlooked in the economy of the dairy. Instances are cited In which pntrid flesh has communicated a taint to the milk in the udder by simply tainting the air breathed by the cow. Milk in the vat of a cheese factory daring the heating of the curd gave off a smell like that of stagnant water. It was found that one of the patrons had allowed his cows to pass through a slough, the mud of which adhered to their udders. Particles of this mud got into the pails at milkiug time, and thus produced fungi frm the slough, which njr.’r-M-r ! n the milk, and spoilt the whole ot u, giving it the odour of foul water: Professor Law, of Cornell University, finding the cream on his miik to be ropy, examined it with a micros cope, and found it infested with living organisms. On investigation, he found I that the herd from which bis supply came drank the water of a stagnant pool located In a muddy swale. The micros cope exhibited organisms in this water identical with those found In the miik. The same was detected by a microscopic examination of the blood of the cows and that they were in a diseased condition Tfas shown by the thermometer test—they being hot and feverish. A little of the same water was

Introduced Into milk which proper teat* had shown to be pure, and In due time ibe' filthy organisms multiplied and took possession of it In vast numbers, pro duutng the same character of milk as that *t first noticed. This Investigation, made by a close observer, goes to prove that fhe germs of a milk spoiling ferment can be Introduced into the blood and into the udder by simply allowing the cow to drink' Impure water. It thowa tha> cleanliness of the dairy be radical thorough, and all pervading. No filthy mnd should be allowed to dry into dus* that may foul the pail; no fool odorr should taint the undrawn milk ; and th* drinking water should be free from tht little “ leaven that loaveneth the whole fimp " —cew, milk, and all-
