---------HINTS FOR ALLOTMENT…
HINTS FOR ALLOTMENT HOLDERS. By SPADE-WORKER. SOWIN(I BROAD BEANS. 1\ is a favourite practice with many p^unlf:uerti to make a sowing of broad beans al this time of year, and, providing the plants pass through the winter safely, the re.itsits fully justify the kibour.

Complaints' have reached Ole that various roots. in store. especially potatoes. onions, and shallots are keeping badly, many hav- ing been lost through tlccay Nothing iø more atitioying than to lose crops in this way after so much time and lahour have l.ell expended upon their cultivation It is difficult to understand why this should happen during the present season, for the autumn was generally warm and dry and favourable for lifting and storing. The chief ea"ses of loss among stored roots nre: (1) putting them away before they, have l^en pro|>erIy dried. (2) storing in too large a heap. Gty keeping them in too warm aDd "close" an atmosphere, and (4) failing to examine them periodically for the purpose of removing unsound specimens. It is. of course, most important that unsound roots Iw not stored among sound ones I find it is a far safer plan to store vegetable roots in Rmall quantities together than in consider- able bulk, for one can then look them over' frequently with convenience. Unless diseased jjpecimens are taken out others will be affected. TAKING CUTTINGS. At this time of year most hardy trees and shrubs can be increased by means of cut- tings, such, for example, as roses, currants, gooseberries, privet, ivy, and so on. Even apple trees can be raised in this way, though some varieties are more reliable thiui others It is generally found that a cuttting having a piece of the older branch attached (a "heel," as it is called), forms roots more readily than a cutting without » "heel." The accompanying illustration shows the matter clearly. After the cutting has been detached, as shown by the dotted line, the "heel" must be pared smoothly with a sharp knife. the cutting is then inserted as usual. It is advisable to put the cutting in at such a depth that half or two-thirds is beneath the soil. Cuttings may be inserted 111 the soil out of doors, or in pots and boxes of soil placed in a frame. MORE ABOUT POTATOES. With reference to the yields of potatoes grown by readers of this column and re- cently published, Mr E Heather writes: "As an experiment last spring we cut one large potato into seven pieces and planted them- the result from this one tuber has given a yield of 221b of excellent potatoes That is. of course, a remarkably good re- suit; much better than would have been obtained had the large potato been planted uncut It us perhaps just as well to point out that although it p*ys to cut larger potatoes into several pieces, it pays still better to plant medium sized whole tubers. If Mr Heather had been able to plant seven tubers of from 2 to 3oz each and had given ¡ them the same treatment, he would have obtained an even larger yield, if the results t of experiments are to be relied upon. I PIUZEWINNING HINTS Those who may wish to raise seedlings of various sorts and find that flower-pota are scarce, will be interested in the following hint from Mr Arthur Kirkbright (to whom a copy of "Garden Work for Every Day is awarded Save all eggshells and fill them with light {jotting mould, sowing the seed in due course Place the eggshells close together in a shallow box, scattering a little fibre between them When a seedling is ready to transplant, lift up the eggshell, break it gently, and plajit out It is often difficult to keep vegetable mar. rows after late autumn, because they com- mence to decay at one end, and when that happens the fruit is soon spoilt. The best way to use them is to make marrow jam. Here is a recipe from Mrs Lowe (to whom a prize of "Gardening Difficulties Solved" is awarded). Take one large vegetable marrow —after being peeled and cut up in con- venient lengths, weight about 5U>.—21b of apples, weighed after being peeled and cored These should be put in the oven with a little water, and cooked until they fall, using a Tittle bruised ginger and rind and juice of three lemons and about one pint of water The net weight would be alxmt 7llh. if about 4tb of sugar if added it makes it a very good jam that will set: PRIZE COMPETITION FOR ALLOT.

---------Farmer's Column.
Farmer's Column. WAGES COMMITTEE. Mr. G. B. Bowen, Llwyn Gwair, presided ever a meeting of the Pembroke, Carmarthen and Cardigan Agricultural Wages Committee an Saturday. Rosolutr.ns passed at a oonforenco of work- ers at Haverfordwest were read. In cchmctien with the advertised proposal of the Agricultural Wages Board as to boys of 14 to 18 engaged in learning it was decided to ask the Board to include washing as well as board and lodging in addition to the cash wage of 2s., 2s. 6d., 3s., and 4s. 6d. for the respective ages. A large number of reports on permits granted by siib-committees were under con- sideration and there was a discussion on the position generally with regard to Enghh boys, who from the vest majority of the permits of exemption cases. Several mem- bers from the three sections of the Commit- tee viewed the position with much concern. It was unanimously agreed:— (11 '1h instruct the Secretary to got into touch with the Association for befriending boys with a view to getting some provision made for looking after these boys after they are 18 years of age. (2) To draw the attention of the Home Office to the employment in this district of reformatory boys with criminal antecedents rind to ask that their employment be restricted. Mrs. V. Phillips, Tregejvb, Tin appointed member, and Messrs. John Davies, lJan- geitho, and Mr Hunt, Tenby, representatives of the workers, have been appointed to the Committee in place of others who have re- signed. HIGH PRICES OF FEEDING STUFFS. Farmers are complaining, and not without reason, than, the prices of cake and other feed- I ing stuffs remain extremely high and that supplies are often difficult to obtain. It is well to bear in mind that these difficulties are mot more than a single aspect of the larger trouble that must beset any country aitter a long and destructive war. Costs of production ha.vc gone up in all directions, transport. is not easily obtained, either by sea or on land. At the same time, the popition shows an proving tendency. Linseed and cotton cakes, released from oontrol last spring, were im- mediately handled by speculators at home and abroad in a fashion that sent prices up to an unwarranted height. The result was that the Ministry of Food recontrolled and introduced a system of licensing. Since then the prices of oil and seed have dropped considerably and at the present mfoment some cakes are already sold st less than the maximum figure. It shouCd be pointed out that oats arc selling weJl under the maximum; maiafe coming into this country is, fbr the most part, of good quality but supplies are still short, although the Wheat Commission have much increased the rate of shipment. Middlings should not bo of bad quality at tho present tJimt; no im- ported flour is being released to millers for the purpose of admixture.
Poultry.
Poultry. A GOOD ALL ROUND FOWL. Fashions come and go but some of the old sorts stick it and cannot be ousted by any new fangled breeds. One of the stickers is the Wyandotte and as a breed it is as popular to-day as ever. Some of the colours have gone down a bit, but others come and take their place and what is lost by one is made up by another. For general use all round there is nothing better and while there is such a varied of colour the beginner can select something which suits the eye. When anybody fresh at the work thinks of the Wyandotte, it is of only one colour and that the White, but with just on a dozen different colours there is plently of scope to allow the famcy to run riot. The White is perhaps the best sling colour of the lot, no matter whether as a show bird or only for egg prc- ductijani, for it commands a big price under a,11 circumstances. At the recent Dairy Show a White Cockerel won the special for the best fowl in the show and was sold afterwards for £.30, while another in the same class made r the ssme money. One of the pens or breed. ing trios made E25 tie pen-not a. big prifce you may say, but yet very useful if you have seme of the same sort fOr sale. But of course to win at a show like this meanq a bigger call urian the stuff of lower quality and this is where the profit comes in. Just the same if you can win tho laying competition the price of those birds are doubled and you will have a call for more birds than you can supply. This is why the White Wyandotte has become so p^pu'ar. It has proved ilts worth both on the show b?nch and in the utility competitions and now, to mention the breeds just recall to mind a white fowl. Beth these two points are vory useful and enough to make a variety pc-pulp-r, but the Wyandotte has ether claims to a.i all round fowl because it makes a nice table bird. The yellow legs and skin do not he/Jp it whffi on the poultpfrer'fj table, but now thrt, chickens have been so scarce even the Wyandotte has found ready purebasets. The bono is small and there is little offal, while the meat is shewn on the breast where it can bo cut off easily, thus Disking a nice joint for a small family. There is not so much objection to a yellow log now as a few years back, but with a private trade there is no notice taken of this because the colour of the skin and !og is not seen when cooked. Now for the best, layers you must select the small head and fine neck with a wide body and a bird generally small all over. But the Cockered will not grow very big, so just put the spare one? together and put some meat on the breast and then clear at once, irrespective of the weight, for the room is better than their company. Anyone can easily see that any bird with a light plumage will look better when plucked than one with a black or dark ter.ither because the skin a1 ways shows the pu.g feathers through, and then the sale is not' so good. No matter what the colour or variety, the chicken should be killed before it moults its chicken feathers, then the flesh ca.n be cleaned of stubbs and look well no matter whether a light or dark fowl. The oJdest colour of the Wyandotte is the Silver and from these we get' the White. The Sil- ver i<: really a white fowl wiffh a black laoing to each cf the feathers and not easy to get up toi tho 0xh.i.bi >ion standard. Tsiere is no reason why the two points should not be produced togefher if on!y laying qualities are thought of while selocting- the laced birds for the breeding pen. Golds are of the same type end style; the black lacing should be the same but the ground colour must be a rich golden brown free from any ticklings of black markings. Among the other eiolours wn have the Black and Buff, the former a splendid layer and makes a big bird, which looks well on a nice grass run. The Buff runs rather a paler shade than the Buff Orpingtcn and of late they ba-tn not been bred very much, which is a pity because they wero a very pretty variety and more thaa use- ful as a laying fowl.

Old Time Sport. FOX HUNTING IN WALES 50 YEARS AGO. The following are extracts from a diary kept by Mr. N. W. Apperley, formerly of Morben, Machynlleth There may be two opinions as to which is the best, hare or otter hunting; but if you asked any sportsman whether, he preferred either to fox hunting he woad tell you very shortly that there is no comparison, fox hunt- ing being beyond measure the best sport of all. Mr Jorrock's opinions on the pain tare so well known that I will not quote him fur- ther than to recall that one of his names for fox hunting was "concentrated essence of ioy!" For myself, I used to echo his faithful Whip, an dwish that "I had nowt else to do! (than to ride and hunt). I did employ rather more than half the year in that way, counting cub hunting, which usuaKy began car:y in August, regular hunting ending late in May. And even later we might often be asked to go and hunt a fox that had been killing lambs, especially among the hills, where other food is scarce. The hill farmers were apt to con- sider foxes as absolute vermin, to be got rid of somehow, and indeed there were clubs that gave 10s. reward for every fox killed. Wo usually hunted two days a week, with occasional bye-days, as warranted by circum- stances. But hunting in Wales, as in all hilly countries, is different from tliau pursued in more Level districts. It is not necessary to pay so much attention to crops and it is pos- sible to hunt over ground which would be im- passable to men and horses not accustomed to it. Our light Welsh cobs could tTavel the hills better than larger horses, the latter being of little use down hiil or in steep p. aces; and our hounds, also accustomed to the hills, were very independent and were quite able to hunt and kill a fox without assistance. We often had to lead our horses and walkl over ground where it would have been impossib e to ride. There were four good packs of hounds toler- ably close to Morben (my father's house)- the Penmaen, Tivyside, Vale of Ayron, and Goger- ddan. I used to hunt with them all from time to time; but oftenest with the Gogerddan, for I that was the nearest, and also Colonel Pryse, my great friend and tutor in sport, was master. His nephew (Sir Pryse Pryse) was master for some years, then sold most of his pack to the Atherstonc. Colonel Pryse bought in about ten of his favourites and started a pack of his own, having very good kenne 9 at Peithyll, his own house. He afterwards in- creased them to about seventeen couples and they were known as Colonel Pryse's hounds. I went' out with him from my earliest boyhood, constantly whipping in to him, and as I grew older, often carried the horn and hunted them for him. I give the following extracts from my d;&-y, thinking that they may have some interest for Welsh readers and hunters of tda. 1865, March 7th, Glaspwl". Gogerddan hounds. Found at Garthgwynion ran through Cenarth and Brynclwydwyn, Aberhosan. Dol- Geog Wood, and killed in Machynlleth Rectory garden. Time, four and half hours, very good run. December 16th, G'aspvrl!.

Turned the other dog fox, which gave us a very sharp run to Darren-y-llwyd, and went to ground. That. so enraged the field that he was dug out and killed. I drew the vixen out of the earth. bagged her, and sent her off to Gogerddan. She was afterwards found at Ffosrhydygaled and twice went over by Duke of Welington's Monument and was killed in a pigstye in the village of Llanbadarn. Vaughan Davies drew one fox and was frightfully bib through the knuckles, and so was a tailor boy who carefully put his finger in the fox's mouth. It was also badly bit in the thigh. "Music" jumped up at the fox, seized its brush and drew it down between my iegs, when the beast took hold of my leg and would not loose. It tore my breeches also.

Found in Penglaise, ran to Cwm and back to sea rocks, back again to Cwm, and killed near Rhydtir Uchaf; a vixen fox, unfortunate y, with cubs laid. But after taking the hounds home we ret/umed and found them in an artificial earth in Cwm Woods which we dug out and found seven cubs about three days old which we took home and reared. I reared a couple (but one got drowned in a vat) and five were sent to the Atherstone country. One I kept as a pet which got very tame. I afterwards took him up to the north and lie lived with me tih I gave him to T. S. Bram- veil on July 2nd, 1872. Both his hind pads were quite white. The hounds hunted capi- tally for their last day, and a break-heart day it Fas for me. August 5th, Morben, Gogerddan Foxhounds. Went out at 3-30 a.m with six couples. Found in Tymaen Cover and bad some splendid hunting over Glanmerion to Garthgwynion, then to Cefnmaesmawr, and got up to him and gave him a sharp run over the top of Rhiwlas to Garthgwynion and through Glan- merion Ding'e to Llynlleoedd Wood. Then the sun got hot, all scent disappeared, and we I lost him, dead beat, after a capital run. (To be continued.)

Cymerai, Moel Llyn", all blank. Found a fox in the rock of Darren-y-1 wyd, bolted him with the terriersj and ran him to ground three times and bolted him, but could not bolt him the fourth time; a regular dunghill brute, small fox. March 12th, Glansheidol. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Frosty morning, no scent, ran to Devi.'s Bridge and had to stop the hounds on account of the dangerous waterfall, wheie no end of hounds have been killed. Rode "Bar- ton." March 18th. United meet of eight couple of hounds from the following pztcks:-Go erddan, Tivyside, Vale of Ayron, and MI-. Powell's. Names of huntsmen—Ned, Meiryman Capt-ain Vaughan, and David Rees. Met at Captain Howell's of Blaendyffryn, where he had one of tho right sort in his gorse cover. No sooner were the hounds in than Master Reynard was viewed breaking. Whether he intended going as he did, or whet'her he was frightened by unusual amount of red coats and horsemen I do not know; but he took us over beautiful country as any man would wish to ride over who is not fr ghiened at large banks. After forty minutes' racing pace he went to ground just before toe hounds. He was dug out and not killed, as it was too late to turn him out again; but he was turned out before the Tivyside two days afte.-wards and gave them a capital fifty minutes; a large dog fox. Twenty- five red coats; in all fifty horsemen out. A splendid breakfast was provided by that gal- lant sportsman, Captain Howe', who took the Tivyside into his own hands for the season of 1871 and 1872. August 20th, Morben. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Drew Darren Owmrhaiadr, blank. Found a good litter of cubs in Tymaen cover and killed one after very pretty hunting. Tre- mendous hot day, hounds blew tremendously from being too fat. October 15th, Abe maide. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Had a very good hunt with an old vixen, wh. ringed about. the covers. At last squatted in a. turnip field and jumped up in view and was coursed down in the same field. Rode my new horse, "Jim," --Alias "Nimrod," for the first time with 'hounds. Went very well. December 14th. Ynyshir1. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Found at Pant^y-glas, killed in Cefn- maesma.wr. Time, 2 hours a very good day's sport. December 24th, Lodge Park. Gogerddan Foxhounds. Did not find till we got to Allty- crebe. Ran to Elgar gorse and from there to Bryngwyn, a/nd went* to ground. Then left him for another day, one of our turned-out cubs. December 31st, Kennels. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Found in oak wood and could do nothing. Found again in Popth-hangel, and cou d do nothing with him; no scent. Very unfortunate, as we had an unusual field out, all ready for a gallop. 1870. January 4tli, Crosswood. Gogerddan Fox- hounds. Met at the seat of the Earl of Lis- burne. Drew Birch Grove flat cover and I another blank. Found two foxes in Craig Rogo, but did nothing with them. I and the Colonel kept the pass to stop the fox go- ing to the dangerous waterfall, of which he was very frightened, having lost. severa hounds in them at different times. All Junched at the Earl's house January 28th Morben. Gogerdcjfan Fox-, hounds. Went out at six a.m. on root, hard frost. Drew all the rocks blank. Found in Darren-ty-maen, and ran to ground in Brwyno. Time, three-quarters of an hour. Dug from half-past three till half-past seven, the last hour and a half by cand e light, and got him out and kil'ed him. The largest fox 1 or Ned or anybody out ever saw. All the farmers declared that he was the fox that killed their sheep, as there was always the mark of a broken tuss on them, which that fox had. "Rioter" and "Challenger" got fast in the drain and were very near kiled. "Dick," the terrier, got up to the fox, but hc was so bit by the fox, which was too strong for him, that in a few days he died. 1 have the head stuffed at home, done by Captain Cosens of Ynyshir. We were obliged to kill the fox as the farmers swore they would do so if they had to dig till morning. We had to borrow a. lantern to bring the hounds home over the 'mountain, it being pitch dark. A tremendous long and hard day's work. The drain -was about five feet under the surface, and we had to make nine openings before we could get to the fox. February 8th, Three Horse Shoes. Goger- ddan Foxhounds. Found in Elgar and lost directly. Found again in Peng ais and lost in Cwm Woods. I rode Colonel Pryse's horse, "Tommy," broke his shoe, and lamed him. He fell over a root in Cwm Woods. l February 11th, Lovesgrove, Gogerddan fox- hounds. Went out again on foot. Found in a small piece of gorse above Lovesgrove ran to ground near TVnllwyd and killed. Wo had to go out these two mornings to Lovesgrove to please Mr. Evans who wfcs comp.aining sadly of his lambs being killed. February 26th, Brogwynan, Gogerddan fox- hounds. Found and lost directly. Found again in Craig Pystyll in a hole in the rock. Jim (whip) pulled him out, and I and he car- ried him alternately under our arm to Cwmerau Dingle (two miles) and put him down., We then laid the hounds on him and after giving him a tremendous burst they kil ed him. I March 1st, Penglaise, Gogerddan Foxhounds. Found again near Cwm, went to Penglaise and Found and ran into the rocks directly, back and through Bryncastell to Llanfihangel, and killed at Bryngwyn. AscaPital run, well hunted throughout, poorish scent. March 7th, Morben, Gogerddan Foxhounds. Went to Furnace to meet (the hounds were staying at Morben). Marked two foxes in DarrcIl-y-Iwyd Rock. "Ben," the terrier, unfortunately killed one in, and a vixen bolted, and after a short burst we killed not twenty yards from Domenlas, which is one of the strongest earths in theN country.- Time, twenty minutes. March 9th, Morben Gogerddan Foxhounds. Met at Glaspwll, marked a vixen in Cen- iarth Wood, dug her out and let her go. The hounds raced her for Cwmrhaiadr Rock where they killed her. Some two coupe of hounds and the fox came tumbling down the rock in such a manner that I expected to see them all dead at the bottom. March 12th, Morben, Gogerddan Foxhounds. Marked a large dog fox in Darren-ty-maen and bolted him. After a. very fast burst to Ccniarth we killed him on top of the barn roof. "Old Music" climbed up after him and she and the fox came down right into the middle of the pack, who were anxiously looking out below. I was the first up and got. head and brush. March 14th, Morben. Gogerddan Foxhounds. Went out on foot in the snow and tracked a fox into HScldgen Rock. Found and ran slowly to Darren-ty-maen and lost. The hounds were three quarters of an hour be- hind their fox. April 11th, Morben, Gogerddan Foxhounds, I took three and a half couple out; drew Darren-ty-maen, Ceniarth, Tymaen, Llwyn- lloedd, etc., blank. Wore my red coat made 1 by James of Aberystwyth for the first time. March 14th, Kennels, Gogerddan Foxhounds. The last day for the Gogerddan Foxhounds to hunt in Wales, previous to their departure for Atherstone Kenne's, to be hunted by Mr. An- struther Thomson, bought conjoihtly between | Thomson and Oakeley. Twenty-one couple left for Atherstone and Colonel Pr-vse kept tpn couple of is dear old favourites to hunt otters and' an occasional fox when required. The loss of the pack was greatly felt in the country. The hounds met at Peithyd, the master's house, Colonel Prysc (as good a sportsman in every way as ever breathed).
