San Francisco, June 11 In a despatch to the Londou " Daily Telegraph" from Pretoria, Mr Bennett Burleigh, the war correspondent, expresses the opinion that if the British authorities , display tact and forbearance the reconcili ation of Boers will not prove difficult. " Lord Kitchener's admirable conduct of the negotiations," says Mr Burleigh, " has done much to create and encourage a spirit of mutual trust and friendliness. I have talked with many Boer leaders, including Generals Botha and De Wet. They all assured me they had submitted in good faith, and that with tolerable adminis tration, Great Britain could hereafter depend upon the loyalty and fidelity of the Boers." A.despatoh from London on Junesth Bays':—" Mr Balfour, the Government leader, this .afternoon asked for a vote oi: ,£50,000 for Lord Kitchener. As a remark able coincidence, Parliament on the same date three years ago passed a vote oi thanks and .£50,000 to the same General for his services in Egypt. Mr Balfour, in supporting the motion, referred to Lord Kitchener's rapid promotion. He said it had been given to few public servants to compass in so short a time so much work for the country as Lord Kitchener, who was Gommander-in-Chief in South Africa, and was Commander-in-Chief Designate in India. He found the army in South Africa in a state of disoiganisation, and he exe cuted his duty with admirable skill and energy. But it was not until Lord Roberts left that the claims of Lord Kitchener, to the gratitude of his countrymen, reached its present magnitude. Lord Kitchener had to meet with unique difficulties. He had erected more than four thousand miles of blockhouses, and to the conduct of the campaign had brought a fertile mind, re sourcefulness, boundless courage, energy, and resolution, and to these qualities Great Britain owed to the termination of the war. i Few English generals had contended with greater difficulties and few had emerged from them in a more triumphant and bril liant way. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman paid a full tribute to Lord Kitchener and Mr John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, led the Opposi tion on behalf of the Nationalists. In the end the vote was carried by 380 to 44 votes, the minority consisting of Irish Nationalists aud two or three Radicals." A despatch from London, dated June 7th, says •—" In all the hurrah over Lord Kitchener, who is the man of the hour, there is an element of dread of his inflexi bility of purpose in controlling, military matters. This is especially noticeable at the War Office. It is well known here that his opinion of army organisation is not flattering, and he has often expressed him self regarding the average army officer in terms of commiseration. The dread of him felt by the military organisation is due to the refusal of Lord Kitchener to allow any political or party consideration to affect him in any military prob lem he may have to solve. Men of this type are not acceptable to the govern ing class in Great Britain. Mr Chamber lain, the civilian, and Lord Kitchener in the military arena, are the most conspicu ous illustrations. Both reach their ends by methods quite alarming to bureaucracy and the red tape regime. Lord Kitchener is as truly needed to turn the British army organisation inside out as Mr Chamber lain is to revolutionise the old Tory tactics. For this very reason, however, it is likely some years must elapse before the hero of Soudan and South Africa will be allowed to get much nearer London for administra tive purposes than he is now. The plan to ship him off to India under the guise of promotion is really a device of those who fear his iron hand at Home.

■JlimUM-UKMIWaWK'LPfIJWITII'IIUIMIIM ■ ■■■■ ■ C Disease in Sheap. J — ■ ■ <& Tha following paper from Mr W. Stouter on " Ergot Poisoning" was read at the Agricultural Conference in Duneclin :—■ I may say that what induced me to write this paper on ' Erg-ot' was the report of such a great mortality amongst lambs, both south and north, and in belief that a little time and attention would prevent loss in tho future. A good many years ago j I lost a great many of my lambs, and I ) could not account for it in any way, as I j though they had everything in their fav our. I consulted with tho late Mr John Douglas, Y.S., and he at once told me wliat he believed to be the cause--viz., ergot poisoning,—and from that time every year when I see that my grass is likely to go to seed I put the mower over the paddocks and it improves the pasture and prevents ergot from getting a ohance of grow ing. Ergot is a poisonous fungus which grows on ryegrass, cocksfoot, and other grasses. When the seed is ripe and left standing should any sudden spurt of growth occur it fosters the growth of ergot, and when developed it is very dangerous for stock, especially horses and lambs. The first symptoms in lambs is scouring, then they get very • staggery/ and maay die. All affected fall off in condition very quickly. Mares in foal depasturing on grass where ergot is in evidence are liable to abortion. Ergot is to be found in every ripe grass see's, but it does not grow of itself, and any seeds with the least appearance of ergot j ■will not grow. Tae richer the soil the more < liable to be affected with ergot, and a wet season favours its growth. The only pre veution that I know is the mower, when the seeds are in flower, or heavy stocking to eat at down. My experience is in favour of the jnower."
