HI., IS FOR ALLOTMENT HOLDERS. Br SPADE-WORKER. CURRENT WORK. Oue of the most important crops the I ,tziietit-bclder can grow is the turnip lor c in late autumn and winter. No vege- is easier to cultivate than this during next month or two, for the weather con- .i.ioiis are generally such as ciiit the tur- oil. Ilie night dews are heavy and I" -,2,sh the plants, and there is usually suffi- at rain to ensure satisfactory growth. vrrtheie-vs, you cannot grow gocd turnip 11 poor ground; they may with advantage sown on land that has produced a crop peas or onions, providing these are off the second week of August. The soil re is what the gardener calLs in "good that is to say it is sufficiently rich ;ni a previous manuring to grow good ps. I always allow 12in. to 14in. be- veen the rows of turnips sown at this time vear. and make a point of sowing thinly. :H;> seedlings must be thinned subsequently about 6in. apart, and the seed invariably ,rminates freely, so that it is wasteful to ■v thickly. The best time to sow for ;;tumn and winter turnips is during the 1:8t ten days of August no those who have sot thought of this crop may still make reparations for it, and obtain suitable 10 uieties. Four good turnips for sowing '•iring the next fortnight are Green lop lnne, Chirk CastV, Snowball, and Flat d. All the.-e are wliite-fleshed varieties ■ ;t the vellow-fleshed one, called All the r Round, i a favourite for this sowing, tild those who like a turnip of this sort hould include it. The yellow-fleshed tur- are of fuller and stronger flavour than h • white ones. My late turnips are always •; predated, and I intend to make a good sowing in the way and at the time advised i^ove.

Or syringeing with soft soap solution, add- ing a wineglassful of paraffin to two gallons of the liquid, answers the same purpose. PARSLEY FOR WINTER.

severe weather and excessive wet. The ac- companying sketches will serve to remind the reader that a winter supply of parsley can be obtained without difficulty if seeds are sown at once. THE INDISPENSABLE CABBAGE. I am now cutting delicious cabbages from seed sown out of doors in April; they are not very large, it is true, but they are all the more acceptable on that account, for there is but little vvas^te. The very large cabbages make such enormous outer leaves :at they take up a great deal of room, and many of the leaves are of no value for evoking. The variety I sowed in April is called Best of All "Dwarf, but there are other small cabbages equally gocd. The cabbage is such an acceptable vegetable in winter that if I were likelv to be short I would not hesitate even now to sow seeds a small variety; there are at least two ■jood "growing months in front of us, and if October proves bright and comparatively i., it often docs, the cabbages wi!! continue to develop into late autumn. The cclewort, another form of small cabbage to which I have previously referred in this eolumn, may be sown now it, too, will yield valuable produce in early winter. Those v ho have omitted to sow garden swede, kohl r: bi, and early carrot may still do so, though thero is no time to lot-e ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENCE. D.

Apply a L"vering of leaves and manure to the soil in iiiumn and again in spring. J. N. M.—You are to be congratulated on your success un- der such diiiindt conditions. H. W. D. Tr(, e ).The leaves are attacked by leaf scorch disease. The culv thing to do is to cut off and burn any leaves that are badly attacked and syringe the tree with liver of sulphur solution in two gallons I of water). Next year spray with Bordeaux ixture as soon as the flowers have fallen. Apply a mulch of manure to the soil above the roots now, and keep the roots moist. D. B.—Fresh soot is liable to scorch and disfigure the foliage, but its use would scarcely account for the falling fruits. You should spray the trees ill winter with a caustic soda wash, and in spring and early summer with arsenate of lead solution, lIb. in twenty-rive gallons of water. Arsenate of lead is pnixonous, therefore the spray must u-f reach anything that is likely to be • iten within four or five weeks, and even tiiea anything edible must be thoroughly washed before use. Give the trees a good of manure in autumn and spring, d- Y.-ft is much better to scatter the sul- phate of an-snonia between the rows. Hcw- ver, you in a y use it as a liquid, loz. in a era.Ion of water. Give it to the onions if aev are nor growing freely—not otherwise, it will do the cabbages good. W. S.—A sprinkling of sulphate of ammonia or nitrate (,f t-cd) would be best for the lerI. now.

SUNDAY TRAfNS TO SOUTH CARNARVONSHIRE CONVENIENCE- OF SOLDIERS ON LEAVE. Mr. Ellis Davies. in the House of Commons, last week, asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been called to the hardship inflicted on soldiers on short leave by the non-running of the mail train on leave by the non-running of the mail train on Sunday morning from Bangor to Pwllheli and Portmadoc way, whereby soldiers were stranded at Bangor, often without money and without any means of continuing their journey to their homes, twenty or thirty miles away and could he see his way to arrange a motor train for the convenience of the soldiers on leave? Mr. G. Roberts said that representations on the subject had been made to the Board of Trade, but it had been necessary to discontinue Sunday services on many branch lines through- out the country. He was, however, in com- munication with the War Office on the sub- ject.

If Aberystwyth Formed a Committee. Fullest enquiry into the evidence published week after week in Aberystwyfh would lead to only one result, because Aberystwyth proof is unshakable. How could one doubt the truth of honest neighbourly assurance such as is given here. Mr. T. Bird, of 3, Gogerddan-cottages, Pen- glais-road, near the Elysian Grove, Aberystwyth, says:—" Some time ago I could hardly straighten myself after stooping, owing to the sharp pains in my back. 1 have no doubt my kidneys were affected by a cold. Although J was troubled like this for several months and as have a lot of stooping at my work as a butcher, I found the pains very trying. "Reading about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills induced me to try them. I am glad I did, for I found relief from the first box, so con- tinued with the pills until I was quite free from the trouble. I always keep some of Doan's Pills by me now for I fmd an occasional dose a great help to me. I can recommend them with confidence. (Signed) T. Bird." The kidneys lie beneath the small of the back. Their great work is to filter poisonous waste and surplus water out of the blood. But when they are weak they leave some of this poisonous waste in the system, and you begin to feel dull, heavy, and irritable; you may get backache, gravel, urinary disorders, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, or sciatica.

Poultry. POULTRY POINTERS. The average poultry keeper will find plenty of work which needs attention, and so his days will be pretty well occupied. One of the most necessary things now is to see that, all houses and appliances are kept clean, and free from insects. It is a good plan to disinfect the house and run when it has been cleaned out, for this prevents infection of any kind. I know many breeders will consider this un- necessary because their stock is perfectly h and in good health; but this is why 1 suggest that it should be done. To keep the birds fit and well is the first thing for all poultry keepers; and there is nothing like cleanlinness both from filth and also freedom from Para sites. Every house could now be cleaned out, dried, and ready for the occupants again at niglit, and the whole be clean and sweet. Healthy birds lay egg,but wbe- oestered with vermin they get no rest; much le» produce eggs. As soon as you have finished with the foster- mother it should be cleaned and stored away. These machines cost money and they will last I for vears when properly cared for. No matter whether hot water or hot air, they must be thoroughly cleaned out in the sleeping cham- ber and this will be best painted or done over with distemper. Then it will be ready fo use next time and the painting will destroy any vermin there may be in the woodwoik. If it is a bot water tank, empty all the water out and let it drain quite dry wly.e the lamp should be cleaned, all the oil taken out and the wick, so that when you stait this again, all the parts will be sweet anr clean There is nothing worse than oil fumt in the sleeping chamber andI to' avoid -h.s on must be very careiui ana even u- should be made at the top. With the ordinary coop there is not enough care taken, for though the expense is less for each one thev soon mount up when l. comes to wanting them for a hundred chickens. In -he making of coops there is nothing better than a uniform pattern where all the parts aie alike, so that in the event of a smash un one section can be taken to repair that part of another coop. The bottoms will be bes leose thaf the whole comes away, and then can "'llau TT ££-- be cleaned so much easier. Another thing I these can be stored away quite easily and any one taken with the coop when making anollier start at rearing. If you have an earth yard these coops could be sprayed with creosote, but do not spray them on the grass because the mess it leaves behind.

LATE SUMMER SOWN VEGETABLES- A useful and seasonable pamphlet, published by the Royal Horticultural Society, describing the cultivation of late-summer-sown vegetables is being circulated by the Food Production De- partment, 72, Victoria-street, London, S.W .1. Horticultural representatives of the Depart- ment and Secretaries of Allotment Societies or Food Production Societies are supplied with copies free of charge. The pamphlet may be ordered bv the general public from the Koval Horticultural Society, Vincent Square, Lon- don, price 3d., post free. Gardeners should dig over their ground as soon as they have cleared their early crops. If the weather be showery and there is enough moisture in the soil, seedgi may be sown in drills without the application of water; but if the weather be drv, the drills should be given a thorough watering before the seeds are sown. In the | case of turnips and onions, if the ground to be so .vn was dug over for the crop previously i there is no need to dig it again; all that is necessary is to "firm" the soil well with the back of the spade. For root crops—beet, car- rots, turnips, etc.—if manure is required at all only old manure or artificial fertilisers should be used; but for greens fresher manure may be utilised if it is well mixed. The seed should be sown thinly in drills about one toot apait and one inch deep or less and the seedling chinned early. Among the best vegetables for autumn sowing are:-Beet (globe or turnip rooted); carrot (horn or short rooted); endice (curled and broad-leaved bataviail) lettuce (cos. Pans white, winter white, etc., and cabbage varie- ties: earliest of all, forcing gem, all the year round, etc.) Onions (for salads in autumn: Improved queen, Paris silverskin, etc). Onions (for transplanting in spring: Ailsa Craig, e.c). Spinach beet. Kohl Rabi (earliest white, earliest purple, etc). Turnips (white and orange fleshed, early snowball, golden ball and orange jelly). Cabbage (for autumn, winter, or spring use: Harbinger, Ellams early and flower of spring1). Savoy (earliest of all. early dwarf ulm, etc.). Salad crops (American or land cress, Lamb's lettuce (or corn salad, mus- tard and cress, and winter raddish).

Private Jenkin Richards, Constant, and Private TOUl Jones, Bryncipiil, who have been on active service in France for nine months, are now undergoing hospital treatment, the former suffering from shrapnel injuries, and the latter from asphyxiating gas. This is the first intima- tion of injuries sustained by local soldiers, though several are on active service. A solemn memorial service was held on Sun- day evening, at the C.M. Chapel, to the late Mr. W. Hughes, Caskell Flemish. The service was conducted by the Rev. D. Jones, Creunant, late of Maerdy, formerly minister of the church at Berth. In the course of a fervid discourse the rev. gentleman paid a tribute to the memory of Mr. Hughes, and threw into relief his traits of character worthy of emulation. The musical arrangements were in the hands of Mr. T. Jones, Tynreithyn, and some of deceased's favourite hymn tunes were sung. The choir gave an impressive rendering of the ant-hem "Dvddiau Dyn Sydd Fel Glaswelltyn." Berth district is not devoid of historical and antiquarian interest, as is proved by the attrac- tion it provides for tourists. Mr. Owen Davies. assistant master at Walthamstow, London, is spending a brief holiday with his family in the locality. Mr. Davies is an enthusiastic Welsh, man and has qualified for the orders of bard and ovate of the National Eisteddfod, assuming the bardic title of "Dolennog." In company with Mr. Robert Edwards, Gwibfardd, who is also a London Welshman spending his holidays in the district, he has visited the places of his- toric interest, including the "remains of the Cistercian Abbey at Strata Florida, St. John's College, Ystrad Meurig, founded by Edward Richards, and the well-known earthwork at Castell Flemish, Dolennog and Gwibfardd are members of the bardic fraternity that congre- gate around Dr. Stanley Owen (Hoffnant), Wal- thamstow, a native of Penmorfa, who is keenly interested in all Welsh things and who is a past master in the art of alliterative verse. Another member of the fraternity is Mr. F. Smith.
