--------WAR OFFICE METHODS.
WAR OFFICE METHODS. FRUITLESS QUEST FOR ARMY HORSES AT TREGARON FAIR. "Flair Garon," one of the most popular horse fairs in West Wales, was held on Tuesday and Wednesday fit Tregaron, and was largely attended by dealers from all parts of the United Kingdom. Ad htionalinterestcentred this year's fa r. iron the circumstance that rhn Disti let Council had successfully i)H'iti">aed the tiovernuient to send down a representative from the War Office to make purchases. Col, Bridge, from the Remount Department, was present on behalf of the War Office, and at the end of the fair addressed a public meeting upon the desirability of breed- ing suitable horses for the Army. Th ) demand was brisk, although prices were not n advance of previous years. The animals offered for sale were of the average quality. The ("ossing of the hackney and horse of the road cer type seems to have replaced the W'h cob very considerably, aud the majority of animals seen at the fair showed signs of very distinct crosses. Breeders seeking the pure cob are faced with greater difficulties year alter year, and there is no doubt that the extinction of this class of animal in the end will result in a great loss to farmers. Tho railway company took away 33 vehicles full of horses, some of which were booked as far north as Glasgow. Last year only 20 vehicles were loaded and this shows a consider- able advance. There was a rumour that foreign officers were buying animals, but close inquiries by our representative failed to sub stantiace the story. The highest price was realised by Mr W Williams, Plas, Oiloenin, who sold a Welsh grey cob to Mr Ret-rd, of Birmingham, for 50 guineas. Wi¡j:L Mr J Edwards. Cefxigwyn flall, Pennant, ret'uMv.l X-60 for a prize pony. Mr Lewis, Pandy Mill, Aberayrou, sold a cob to Mr J Davlos, Feathers Hotel, Aberayron, for £16. Agricultural horses found plenty of demand, and prices w"re very favourable, ranging from £35 to £50, cobs JE25 to £ 38, carriage horses £ 10 to £ 55, colliers £ 25 to P-40, and ponies to £ 30, according to quality. Evidently disappointed at the fact that the War Office representative made no purchases very few persons attended the public meeting held at the Town liul, under the chairmanship of Col. Davies Evans, Lord Lieutenant of Cardiganshire. The chairman, iu introducing Col. Bridge and his colleague, said he believed the War Otbce bad a scheme for lending horses. They were simply taking a leaf out of the book of their great chief Uhys Ap Thomas, who inaugurated that scheme in 1450. Colonel Bridgp, at the outset. said that the War OJice had nothing to do with the breed- ing of horses. Farmers had got to breed for the best market, either for a civil or military market. In peace time the War Office bought in England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland 2,500 horses annually. They could obtain that num- ber from Ireland, which was a huge breeding country and which sent over to England some- thing like 35,000 horses annually. Besides supplying foreign markets Ireland could there- fore supply the whole of the peace requirements of the Array. Col. Bridge went on to say there was not such a scarcity of horses that they could not obtain ia times of peace what they wanted. Their wants in war time, however, were limitless, and to pat a small army in the field would require 160,000 horses at the onset. The War Office could not keep the horses idle in time of peace. One scheme put forward was to get a certain number of horses kept by farmers who would keep them in condition and dispose of them when required, but all these schemes were at present iii embryo. As to the class of animal the War Office required Colonel Bridge said they wanted riding horses to carry officers, and also riding horses to carry troopers, and those boiit as like hunters as they could possibly get them. They wanted blood in them. The hlckney blo,, I was no use to the Army. The War Office also wanted draught horses, the sort of drau. horses they had in Ireland. The Welsh horses were very good horses, bat they did not raeet with the require- ments of the Army. A small number of cobs were also wanted. The cobs he saw at the fair that day were very useful cobs, but they were not the sort of animals to carry a man. They required a cob of the polo type. What they wanted in WTales was animals of more thorough- bred blood. But be quite understood the diffi- cuity of attaining that. Professor Williams (Aberystwyth) thought they had better give way to Ireland to supply the Army. He proposed that a resolution be sent to the War Office to the effect that as they do not breed the ciass of animals, their repre- sentatives looked for it was useless sending them down to Wales. Colonel David Evans suggested the appoint- ment of an agent to keep in touch with farmers. In reply to Dr Lloyd, Colonel Bridge said he did not find any horses suitable for the infantry. Professor Williams's resolution was carried unanimously.

CARDIGANSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
CARDIGANSHIRE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Cardiganshire Education Comtnitte followed that of the County Council at Lampeter Town Hall on Thursday. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. On the motion of Mr E J Da vies seconded by Capt. Doughton, Me D C Roberta was re- elected chairman. Mr Roberts said he felt it a great honour to be re-elected. He would do his best to carry oat the work of the Committee, and he know they would give him every assistance asiii the past (hear, hear). CO-OPTED MEMBERS. The following were appointed co-opted members:—Mrs Rhys Morgan, Mrs Morgan, Mrs T Z Jones, Miss A Kimpster, Mrs G Rees, Principal T F Roberts, Rev Evan Evans, Messrs R E Bevan, J Rowlands, John Rees. LAMPETER COLLEGE SCHOOL. On the proposition of Principal Bebb, the Rev Evan Evans was appointed a member of the Governing Body of Lampeter College School. EXTENSION AND IN-COLLEGE COURSES The annual practice bad been to appoint a Sub-Committee consisting of the Aberystwyth members to examine the applications and report to the next meeting, but Mr D Lloyd was against appointing this Committee and thought every member of the Council ought to have a voice in the selection. The Chairman said the County Council had no time to go through all the lists, and besides the Sub-Committee would report. Mr Robert Ellis said the Aberystwyth members would be glad to get rid of it. Mr D Lloyd: It will be ready cooked and we must swallow it here I suppose (laughter). The course adopted in previous years was then agreed to. THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT. The report of the Director on the three year's work of the schools, a summary of which appears elsewhere, was referred to by the Chairman. He said it was both valuable and interesting, but they had no time to deal with it that day. No doubt they would have an opportunity of considering it at the next meeting. Mr C M Williams suggested it should be entered on the agenda for the next meeting and this was agreed to. THE NEW SCHOOL FOR GARTHELI. The Tregaron District Committee recom- mended that a site of half an acre for the pro- posed new school for Gartheli should be pur- chased at Pantrhew aft the rate of X105 per acre. Mr D Lloyd protested strongly that the owner meant to have 6C105 for the site itself and not at the rate of an acre. Mr Morgan James asked if Mr Lloyd was authorised by the owner to make that state- ment. Mr Lloyd: You have not been authorised to interrupt me (laughter). Mr J H Davies suggested the report should be referred back for the reason that the rate. payers of Bettsvs Leiki had not been consulted, and it was not fair to make these people pay unless they had been given an opportunity of expressing an opinion. He was told the children of this parish wopld not attend the ,ch )oj if it was built on this site. Mr Lloyd said the representatives of Bettws Leiki had met the Ti-egaron Committee, and as they had never paid a school rate it was high time they paid their share (laughter). The report was adopted. THE NATIONAL LIBRARY. The Committee agreed to vote a third instalment of £ 500 towards the building fund of the Welsh National Library. EGLWYSFACH COUNCIL SCHOOL. The Director of Education reported the receipt of a humble petition praying for an inquiry to be held into certain charges and alleged misconduct on the part of the head mistress towards the children attending the Egl wysfach School. The Chairman said that unless they took action immediately no doubt the parents would take their children from the school. A Committee consisting of the following was then appointed:—The Chairman, Messrs C M Williams, R Ellis, D Morgan James, and Sir Edward Parry-Pryse. ABERYSTWYTH SCHOOL CLEANER. The Aberystwyth managers having recom- mended the appointment of a caretaker for the Council Schools at a salary of 23s per week, a discussion followed. The Chairman. pointed i out that there were over 700 children in the schools, and there were 30 rooms to keep clean. Mr J T Morgan asked if they could not get something cheaper. The Chairman: Not in Aberystwyth. We have 40 or 50 applications. Mr Edward Jones (Penllwyn), proposed they > offer 20s. Rev T Mason Jones thought the best man would be the cheapest. Mr Morgan James seconded that it be 20s. The Chairman said the man at the County Schools was paid 26s, and they found it a very good investment as there were many little jobs which a handy man could do. Mr C M Williams said a man could not do the work without the help of his wife. There was an average attendance of 700 and Pont- erwyd with an average attendance of 45 paid JE6 or £7 for the cleaning of the school. At that rate Aberystwyth would be entitled to pay X120 laughter). The proposal put before them was far more economical than that of any other school in the county -(Iauyhter)- -and if they applied the same rule right throughout the county they could save £ 1,000 a year. Rev Dan Evans proposed they agree to pay 23" This was seconded and there were loud cries of vote, vOLe" when Capt. Doughton rose to speak. He. however, refused to give way and said there were 150 windows to clean besides corridors-- Mr Morgan James: The place is getting bigger as we go on (laughter and cries of vote, vote.") Capt. Doughton: Is Mr Morgan James conducting the meeting. He has been on his feet a dozen times (cries of go on, go on.") The motion to pay 23s was agreed to.
TREGARON HORSE SHOW.
TREGARON HORSE SHOW. The annual show, promoted with the chief object of encouraging farmers to breed horses, was held on Tuesday.

CARDIGANSHIRE SMALL HOLDINGS…
CARDIGANSHIRE SMALL HOLDINGS COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Small Holdings Committee was called for Thursday, but owing to the heavy work in connection with the County Council and Education Committee the only business transacted with the re-appointment of Mr E J Davies as chairman. The County Land Agent (Mr T. Parry) pre- sented a report with regard to Felingyffin Farm, on the Gogerddan estate, and urged that the question of letting the farm should be dealt with without delay as the present tenant was under notice to quit on March 25th. The members present, who were all from the southern part of the county, felt they could not deal with a matter which was entirely outside their knowledge. A new member said the local members should have remained to settle the matter. The Chairman The Aberystwyth members are not as seif-sacrimiog as we are. On the motion of Mr Griffith Davies, it was decided to refer the question of the letting of this farm back to the local sub-committee. In reference to Ysgubor Fach and Tycoch Farms, the County Agent read a letter from Mr J. G. Morris Davies, agent of the Hafod estate, stating his patience was quite exhausted, and he wanted an answer, yes or no, whether the Committee were going to take these farms. Rev W. Griffiths It seems to me the Aber- ystwyth members do not take any interest in these matters, and why should we trouble to sit here. I propose that it be referred to the Aberystwyth Sub-Committee. This was agreed to. Mr R. S. Rowland What is a quorum of this Committee ? The Chairman I am afraid we are not a quorum now. The meeting then terminated without any of the business on the agenda having been transacted. REPORTS OF SUB-COMMITTEES. The following printed reports of the Sub- Committees were circulated amongst the members. ABERYSTWYTH UNION. The Sub-Committee Alderman Evan Richards; Councillors Rev T Mason Jones, William Evans, Ponterwyd Joseph Parry, and the County Land Agent, inspected and valued the lands, buildings, and fences of Yscuborfach and Tycoch in accordance with the resolution of the Sub-Committee held at Aberystwyth Town Hall, on February 21st, 1910. They resolved to advertise for tenders for rent for the four plots into which they divided the land. They now recommend the Small Holdings Committee to let plot No. 1 to Lewis Evans, Ysguborfach, the outgoing tenant, for S;18 per annum. Plot 2 to Mr David James. for £10 10s per annum. Plots Nos. 3 and 4 to Richard Howells for R18 10s per aniiuiyi. Total rent 246 10s Od per annum. The tenants are to pay ordinary rates and taxes. The Committee have been informed by Mr Morris Davies, the agent, that the Hafod estate will do the fencing along the drive, the few divisional fences being erected by the Council. The committee hopes that the timber in the rough for all fencings on Yscnborfach and Tycoch will be given free by the Hafod estate. The rent to be paid by the County Council to Mr Waddingbam will be R42, which gives a margin of se4 10s for renewals, repairs. insurance, and cost of management during the lease of 35 years. The Sub-Committee also asked Mr William Evans, Ponterwyd, to thoroughly inspect the two cottages at Gwarallo and Yscuborfach, and estimate the cost of repairs necessary to put the buildings in tenantable repair. Mr Evans has reported in writing that at least £ 9 will be I required. to be expended at Yscuborfach and £ 6 5s at Gwarallt, before they can be con- sidered satisfactory as living rooms. TREGARON UNION. The Sub-Committee appointed to interview the fifteen or twenty applicants for portions of Dolcbenog, met on tho mountain top on March 12th, 1910. They recommend that the tender of Mr T E Lewis (the old incoming tenant) to give £ 50 per annum for the whole of the hill down to Bryngwenlli fence be accepted, subject to the condition that the Council obtains a tenant for the lower portion of the farm for ze45 to £ 50. The area stipulated by Mr T E Lewis amounts to about two-thirds of the total area of Dolchenog. More than half the area reserved for Mr Lewis Oliver is covered with timber and cannot be of much value as grazing land. It is necessary that the County Council rental should amount to 1296 to £ 100 per annum if a rent of 289 is given to the Hafod estate, without taking into consideration the repayment within a period of 13 years of principal and interest for fencing the unfenced portion of the mountain. NEWCASTLE EMLYN DISTRICT. The Sub-Committee unanimously recommend the Small Holdings Committee to acquire the following properties, and that the agent be authorised to sign the draft orders and to get them confirmed and executed in the usiial way, failing prompt voluntary arrangements to lease at reasonable rents and conditions of tenure. Tower Hill and Panteg farms Blaendyffryn farm Werngadno farm Cwmcoednerth (portion of farm). That Alderman Thomas Morris, Councillors Griffith Davies and William Jeremy, be asked to inspect the land applied for by Samuel Jones, Pwllcornol, and to inspect Pantygwenith and Sychpant farms, in company with the County Agent, and to report as to their value and suitability for small holdings. That the County Land Agent be instructed to enquire into the case of Mr Daniel Evans, Brynhelyg, referred to in communication received from the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, and to report his investigations to the next meeting of the Sub-Committee.
" THE BUFTER MAKER'S OPPORTUNITY."
THE BUFTER MAKER'S OPPORTUNITY." The buying public is so largely influenced by the appearance of butter, that butter producers are compelled to pay attention to this point, es- pecially as foreigners are very careful to see that their butter has that golden yellow colour which is so much preferred. In act that point undoubtedly pccrunts for much of the success which the foreigners gain over the much superior British article. The public always prefer the rich looking golden butter to the paler kind. Very well, the English producer has his remedy, and a very safe one it is. Silver Churn" butter colouring will give his butter a uniform golden yellow without deteriora- iny it in tbe smallest degree. On the contrary Silver Churn" may be fairly said to enhance the delicate creamy flavour of the butter "Silver Churn" Butter thoourintr io entirely fre" from aniline, beinc a purely vegetable product i It is not a mere cxl) erili ef)i, for it has passed the (*evf>rest tests at many of the principal Stow, gi,if ing First Class A words, and is highly pros d ¡ in the numerous dairies when it is regularly used. It never gives uneven or mnddy colouring, and does not afftct the butter milk. j We say emphatically that "Silver Churn" But- ter Colouring is a big and real help to the pro- I ducer, enabling him to cater for the public tar-te in I an eminently satisfactory manner. The" Siver Churn brand is manufactured by Oldfield Pafctin- 1 son & Co., New Bridge stieet, Manchester, a firm whose standing and reputation are themselves a sufficient guarantee of merit.
