MAHKED "ROTTEN." DAIRY COMPANY FINED AT CARDIFF. The National Dairy Company, who carry on business at Barry Dock, were charged at tbe local court on Friday with selling milk not up to the required standard. Mi'. A. Jackson, solicitor, defended. Superintendent D. Morris stated that he purchased a pint of now milk from Trevor Biss, a youth in the employ of the defendant company, and sent a portion to the public analyst. It was certified to be 26 per cent, deficient of butter fat, in addition to a defi- ciency of 5 per cent. of fatty solids. Mr. Jackson: How many times during the last two years have you taken samples cf this milk? Superintendent Morris: Oh, quite a number, and the last sample came back from the analyst, marked "Rotten." Mr. Jackson: I did not want you to answer me in tha.t way. (Laughter.) Mr. A. W Travis- I expect you are sorry you asked the question, Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson: Well, why was there no prose- cution ? Superintendent Morris: The analyst could not sample it because it wae decomposed. Mr. Jackson: You kept it too long, perhaps? —That is not so, sir. Have these people been convicted within the last two years?—I could not say that, but I know they have boon convicted in this court before. The young man, Trevor Biss, said, despite strict instructions frcm his local manager, he purchased milk from four other vendors on the morning on which the sample was taken, having entirely disposed of his own supply, and sold to his remaining custorneirs the milk he himself had bought It was a sample of this milk that Superintendent Morris ob- tained, Mr. Travis said the benoh would not be doing their duty if they ddd not impose a substantial fine, and ordered defendants to pay L5 and costs.

LIKE A MAGISTRATE. PEMBROKESHIRE FARMER WHO INFLICTED A FINE. A novel instance of how a farmer played the part of a magistrate and inflicted penal- ties on tho culprits was given at the Roose Sessions, llaverfordwest, on Saturday. William (Summons, labourer, Br-oad-noo- and George Harries, Fenton, were summoned for doing wilful damage to a window, the property of Mr. James Gibby, farmer, Tal- benny Hall. The prosecutor said he desired the case withdrawn. He was afraid the megistratw would have imposed a fine of 2s. 6d. only, and he had himself fined the men £1 each and costs.' (Lau.-hter.) The defendants had said they would rather pay anything than attend court. The Chairman (Mr. J. T. Fisher): We don't like you to settle these oases out of court. We like to expose them. The case vats withdrawn. The estimated damage was 2s. 6d.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN GARDENER. 4 QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED. By J. MUIR, 30, Bouverie-streat, Fleet-street, London. R.e-()tLng Window Plants.—Do not attempt this for another month. Wait till the end of March before dividing or transplanting hardy flowers. Superior Variety of Asparagus.—"J- C."— The variety Con-over's Colossal is first-rate. Potato Sir John Llewelyn.—" Amateur."— This is a white kidney of excellent quality a6 a first crop. Half Dead Window and Greenhouse Plants ehouM not be thrown away. They will iur-1 nis-h cutting's to replenish in a few weeks, hence. Hen with Frequent Ste-ppaig*e.—"Anxious. — Give her half a teaspoonfnl of castor oil occasionally or twice a week. Plenty of green food would also b& a, good corrective. Is the Fern Dead?—B. Richards.—The root you send is quite dead, and, I fear, it must have perished. You appear to have ke;>t it too wet—always a killing condition in wi nte r. Jerusalem Artichokes for Fowls.—Mrs. G. OoœIl'h.er.-The Jerusalem artichokes are well suited for fmv-la. Do nc-t boil them, but cut the roots in halves, and throw them into the runs. They take the pia-ce of green food. Spraying Fruit Trees.—" W. T." (Lla-ndaff).1 —The letter you wrote me a month a-so was somehow sont abroad, and only reached me this week. I'lee-se see remarks in this week's notes on spraying fruit trees. Ground Occupied by Leeks.—J. Williams.- You cc-n d'ig all your leeks up. Open fur- rows in any odd corner and plant in here 1 close together. The change will not check them, and they will remain sound and good till April. Winter Flowering Shrubs.—" J. J.I am delighted to hear you propose planting the j hardy winter flowering shrubs I f-dvised a fortnight ago. All are cba-rmin?? beyond; words and capable of be: n? successes every- where. Write to Messrs. D'icksons^ and Co., Nurserymen, 1, Waterloo-place, Edinburgh. Roof of Poultry House.—R. Stuart.-Garry out your intention to thatch the roof of your poultry-house with straw by all means. It is cosy in winter and cool in summer, and a most appropriate roof. You must get a man who knows how to thatcih to do it, and use good wheat straf%v. Book on Walker.—You dhould get Sheep: Their Management and Breed- ing"—a most excellent guide-book on this • profitable and interesting subject. It is pub- lk.hed by Messrs. Collin-gridge, iA8 and 149. Alder-agiate-street, London, price 16. 2d. post free. er sc Crossing F'owls. J. W. S."—The 'o 'you propose between the Wlhiü; Crpington and White Wyandotte would not result in any better birds in either laying or for table; than pure ones on each side. There is no use in eroding urlcss it is to gain some ins- provement, but in. this case there wo-,ild be none, as both are very e-qral in me-rit., Value of One Acre of Spring Cabbage.— S'outhport Reader."—If gocd and ready in j May, they may bring ls. per dozen, half that in early June, and a considerable weekly | decrease later, but it is mainly a que-stion of earlineis and marketing before gluts occur. Then you might have a profit of £ 20: on your acre. Week-old Chicks Weak in W F."—J It is suggestive of cramp. If at full liberty keep them on dry ground where it is well drained. If in shut-up run bed them with dry ashes or peat moss litter in a dry state, Put half a tec-spoonful cf Parrishe's Ghemi- oal Food 111 a- quarter oif a pint of waiter 'dry ashes or peat moss litter in a dry state, Put half a tec-spoonful cf Parrishe's Ghemi- oal Food in a quarter oif a pint of waiter daily, and let them have this to drink. Fea Seed from Last Year.—" A Working Man."—No. 1 sample is quite good, and, I believe, every one capable cf growing; o. 2 is a little worm-eaten, but there is plenty of life in the seed. Dip in paraffin oil before sowing, and this will cook the worms. Much inferior pea seed is about this spring, and rauchj-of last year's seed is preferable. Grubs in Soil.—J. Wignall.—Gas-lime should 1 be put on some weeks- before the crops are; planted. To use them together would not be a success. The gas-lime would spoil both seeds and plants. It ought to be put on in autumn or winter. Fresh lime is different. It can be dug in to-day and crops introduced next week. You might apply one quart of scot and half a pound of salt to the square, yard, and put off liming till next autumn or winter. Use soot freely when the plants are young. Itoso Bush in Town.—" Anxious Reader" (Liverpoo,I).-fh rose plant will not do well if you keep it in the bedroom, neither is it very suitable for confinement in any room or kitchen, and it would succeed much better if you put it out in the open air a-nd sun-1 shine constantly. Put a little he>an of soHpsi down. Plunge the pot up. to the rim in these, and keep the roots moist, but not saturated. Be careful if you turn it „t n1 protect the tender shoots that are on it till they become hardened. at 1111 rnnf^' wawT> °Vop, °f T:l,! Cottage- W. 1. ^Pembrokeshire).—Your wall will act like a rock garden, and von might have it beautifully furnished with plants. Put some rather substantial loam snil bjtwon the stones, and plant Arabi-? a Ibid a and Aubrietia deltoidca. The fonner is v.'hite and the lattsr the purple reek cress. They are always green and furnish lovely sheets of Hoovers in early summer. Plants cf thn hooise le-pk, SemTerviv-um too- tornm, would thrive almost on the bare etonos, and so will the stone crops.

Two would be enough for a fox- terner. J. weakens the t,3 of do»« to wash them too frequently. Careful brushing once or twice a week will keep them in excellent trim. and wash once a month or so. A good wipe down if they come in wet is also beneficial. The claw is generally removed as a convenience to the dog and is taken off whew quite email. Clip it hack.

RURAL JOTTINGS. VALUABLE HINTS AND INFORMA- TION. The Spring Spraying" of Fruit Trees. I am always glad that I have awakened a desire amongst growers to spray their fruit trees. I have advocated it for Ion's, and now have many supporters. When once applied all found that their trees were more free in growth, clean in leaf, spotless in fruit, and producers of the highest class. The, are the inevitat-bl" rewards of spraying, which all will most assuredly meet with who adopt the method and follow it constantly. The epctkss condition of Colonial apples and pears offered in shops 13 the envy of all home growers. They fay, Why can't ot7 be as beautiful?" and my reply is, "They can, an-J the means is by spraying." In the Colonics it is a universal practice, with uni- form results. Here it i-3 only an occ««:o'na.! act, with returns that please, but do not show sufficiently to impress the public as yet. All experienced nurftcryiuen spray their trees; so do orchard owners in Kent and other counties, and my great desire is to get all amateur cultivators to be unfailing in its adoption. Improvement is inevitable, and all fruit is doubled in value and accept- ance. Spraying should be done three times a year—once in summer, again in autumn, and always in the spring just before the leaves come on, which is now. The present spraying is all-important, as it destroys every intruder, and sets the trees g-oing with a clean bail of health. The formula. of the spraying liquid consists cf pure sulpnate of copper 6!bs„ fresh unslaked lime 41os., water 22 gallons. Place the sulphate of copper in a piece of cloth, suspend by a- string from the top of a cask or tank, submerging the lot to dissolve in eighteen then slake in a wooden tub the 41-bs. of lime. lot to dissolve in eighteen gallons of water; then slake in a wooden tub the 41-bs. of lime. This must be fresh lime. Make up to four gallons when cool. Stir and strain the milky lime into the copper solution. Quarter or half quantities of water or materials may be used in like proportions where only a small quantity is required, and the above may be reduced a quarter of its strength when the trees are in leaf and more tender than now. Many employ spraying machines. Fruit farmers empioy home labour" to draw the largest of tliem; others are of the garden engine claes-tliese are knop-saok-forms-a.id. lastly, the hand-syringe, one or other of ■which will suit all classes of sprayers; indeed, the ordinary watering-pot with a rose on may be used to moisten the dwarf trees and all that can be reached. Do not saturate exceedingly to throw away the stuff, but be s'ure all the wood is made moist, and that is Sufficient. Sowing Peas. The time has arrived when all may sow peas. I have seen rows of 1a,te that were sown last November and are now two inches high; others sowing a month are peeping, but as yet the majority have not yet sown •peas. They think it is too early, and aie afraid they w-i-ii fail. Such ideas need not be held. Peas are exceedingly hardy. They grow when vegetation generally is at a standstill, and those sown now will be given 'supples of green peas before the later sown ones are in pcd. Sow in rich soil and a shel- I rtered, but sunny, position. They will pay to be nut in possession n.f a. <vot **>rner. It is such a gratification to have peas early. Dig the soil where the rows are to be afresh. Tread the part down very firmly, open the drill four inches wide and t-vvf§"inches deep, sow t.he seeds singly two inches apart, sprinkle with soot, and cover with the soil; then tread over the top and rake along. If the soil is rather stiff and heavy, sprinkle some sand or fine ashes over the surface to the .depth of one inch. The rows may be any length, or they may be sown here and there in warm nooks in little groups. Sowing along the bottom of south walls is a and early aspect, and hedge bottoms often afford shelter. Do not hesitate to make a hig sewing, as if only a few are put in regret will be experienced in gathering that more were not put in now. Planting Climbers. All with ideas of planting clumbers this winter should be up and at it. Planting them late is a very bad plan. Many of them are disposed to begin to grow early, and it interferes with their progress to plaint, after they have started. Many are cheeked in this way, and some never get over it; but plant before growth begins and the chances are that every one will succeed. If the right kind of climbers are selected and proper preparations made, it is only once in a life- time that climbers may have to be planted.

Chickens from Wot. r? ™ ??, is m,J're Armful to chickens in cold weather than being wet. w:hen expcced to rruin they have no feathers to threw the wet off, and then wet fluff ding's to them like a ppon-ge. It chi,11,3 them to the bone and causes varic>-ae ailments, as well as hindering tneir progress. To succeed easily keep them dry, out t.b-ey nrci?t not be shut up in little co-ops^w-hen it rains, This would do almost as in-iieh harm as the wcring. All who go iii for chickens should have a shelter for thl"m thoa t they caa run to when it rains. rphe lZ:e should correspond with the number of chicks. The roof may be of boards, felt, or zinc, and the sides and ends cf boards, with a, wire-netting front facing the south. It must be absolutely waterproof, and the floor always dust dry. It should be a,part altogether from their roosting place, and the old fowls should be excluded. Some dry sand, ashes, or other material should be ueed M bedding. Bread for Chfckcn-fecdlng. Bread is often used ae food for little chickens. It is given them in both a crumbly and doughy state. Bread is supposed to be composed of the best wheat, but, curiously enough, it does not prove progress focd for chicks. They do not eat it readily, and it has a slight tendency to scour them. I attribute this to the yeast that is in the broad, and I believe this is why they do not do well on bread in a,ny form. It may be thought to be economy to give it them when left over in crust and crumb form at the table, but I cannot advise its use with advan- tage, and chicks are better without it. Years ago a friend of mine—a baker—gave me all his refuse bread to feed my fowls. Theee were the grown-ups, but I was never pleased with the results, and, although I got the material for nothing, I had to refuse it. The only animals I know that benefit by stale and surplus bread are and goatw Completing the Planting of Tree3. This advice embraces every kind of trees and shrubs. There are some who assert tha.t some trees can be transplanted as well or better in May than in winter or spring, but I am no supporter of such a proposition. Planting in summer may be successful some times, but there is a great deal of risk with it and much inappropriateness. Most plants sucoc-ed best when planted while the buds are at rest, and that is, undouhteiy, the right time to deal with them. There is no ifreater misfortune which can happen to a tree than transplant it after its buds are swelling, as they are brought to a standstill; then the young growth is shocked and set back.. Many die soon afterwards; others struggle into a shabby state, and require no end of care to get them round. The who'ie affair of belated planting cannot be too much avoided and written down, and every day that passes now without planting will increase failures, which a.ll will surely be anxious to avoid. Ashe3 as Manure. Economical cultivators ado-pi a, system of converting everything possible into manure and helps in producing1 crops. Some may be used in a raw state; others after becoming ashes. Wood ashes a.nd all charred refuse of garden rubbish are excellent fertilisers, but üoal ashes are absolutely void of manuring properties. Many use them under the idea they will do gcod and prove substitutes for manure, but they have net the slightest capability of doing so. If mixed in with stiff ciay soil, they render it more friable and acceptable, hut not more nutritious. Some relia.ble authorities on potatoes are of opinion that ecal ashes in the soil encourage warty disease, and this is more than pro- bable, as ashes are always disposed to pro- duce rust on many roots. They should never be put in light soil, only in stiff stuff, to make it more open, and, as a rule. they are best kept out of the soil altogether. Finish Pruning. I have been hammering on the subject of pnmintg ever since last October, and I fee 1 it is necessary to say a,no,ther word, but this iiime it is the last of the season. It is im- mensely adi-aitig-eors to the trees, be they fruiting or ornamental, to prune before th sap rises and the bud-3 swell. Once, that occurs pruning1 is a weakening proceeding, and should be avoided. I can imagine nr rea/son why pruning should not be com- pleted at once, and I feel sure all g'ood cul- tivators will act en the hint. improving Strawberry Piants. As great crops of delicious fruits arc desired by all who cwn a strawberry bed. there is a general desire to treat them in such a. way as to assure weight and quality of crop, but many are too late in applying helps. The pltvnts begin to gTow in March, and it is thsn tha.t feeding does the most good. It induces robustness, but when t,h.1: does not occur till the blooms are forming.it makes little impression. It is, therefore, most dc.-iraible to manure early, and now ie a suitable time. I urge this more particu- larly this spring, as I fear many of th< strawberry plants are rather weakly now strawberry plants are rather weakly now owing to the a-b6 c nee of sunshine last autumn. If they are not strengthened many of the blooms will be blind and the frujt of the blooms will be blind and the frujt small and void of quality. This is what we may expect, hut it can be averted ooiisi-der- a-bly. Goiw, horse, and pig dting^are the be.=i; 1 feeds they can have now. C'f- the three thc- I' pig droppin s are the least desirable. The manure should be packed round the crowns but net over the top of them. One^ or two forkfuls to each plant will be enough. Grow- j ing them in crowded beds is not the best way, but those so arranged should have the ¡' manure scattered over them, and let therr take their chance. Stable manure, with short straw, is a capital dressing, as OF straw will be washed clean and remain ao ¡ a bedding to the fruit. Rubbishy manure need not be used, as it is labour in vain. An old strawberry bed had gene very weak in the autumn of 1908. A good dresedng c-f superphosphate was given in the spring of 19C9, and in July the plants were ctroTiger and a better crop of fruit had been produced than for three years previously. They wer: and a better crop of fruit had been produced than for three years previously. They wer: quite rejuvenated, and the tip is worth adapting wherever calls are made for it.

CONSOLATION IN A MOTTO. + MR. BURNS EXPLAINS A HAY CONTRACT. Mr. BOTTOMLEY (R., Hackney, S.) asked the President of the Local Government Board in the House of Commons on Wednes- day whether his attention had been called to the fact that the parks committee of the Cardiif Corporation had been in the habit of selling its hay to a looal corn merchant 1 at £3 2s. 6d. per ton, while the health com- mittee of the same corporation had been purchasing its hay from the same corn merchant at £ 4 2s. 6d. per ton; and whether he would instruct the district auditor of the board to make inquiries into the matter. Mr. BURNS: Except as regards education, the. accounts of the town council are net subject to the audit of the district auditor. I have, however, made some inquiries on the subject, and I understand from the council that it is true that the health committee purchased ha-y from a contractor at JE4 2s. 6d. per ton on November 23 last, and that on February 1 the parks committee sold htiy to the same firm. The hay sold was disposed of in bulk, and not by weight, and not cut in any way. The c'ú1JtT:I,C:'fr.

This bay, moreover, is described as of poor quality, bting gathered from the cemetery and fields adjoining. (Laughter.) It is stated that the hay purchased was, on the other hand, of first-class quality, clean cut, according to sample and specification, and was delivered by the contractors free of ail charges. Mr. BOTTOM LEI": Is the right hon. gentleman aware that the information given me is diametrically opposed to the explana- tion given by the iLord Mayor of Cardiff himself? Mr. BURNS: I have takon great pains to ascertain the facts in regard to this matter, and I believe them to be as stated. I know there is considerable difference between the Cardiff City Council and my hon. friend about it, and I have difficulty in reconciling the two statements. I am, however, consoled by the motto in his own paper, which says:- The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind aro the asses who pull, Each tugs it a different way, And the -reawstof all is John Bull. Great laughter greeted this quotation. Mr. BOTTOMLEY: Would the right hon. gentleman in all fairness quote the reet of the motto?

Mr. ASQUITH: My own personal opinion :s that, as the President oi the Board of Trade is in receipt of the higher salary-, it would be invidious for the President of the Local Government, Board not to be in the same position, and my right hon. friend should be released from the covenant into which, with the. late President of the Board of Trade, he entered last year. -Cheers.)
