PRACTICAL AERtCULTURE
PRACTICAL AERtCULTURE BY PRIMROSE McCONNELL, B.Sc., F.G.S., (Author ef "A Notebook of Agricultural Faete aim Figures," "elements of Farming, etc.). HALF FALLOWS. E\t ryone must acknowledge that fallowing a field that i' cultivating it for a whole summer, and miM- mg a. crop aKogedier, is a very great waste. The writer, when he m'st came into contact with the system thought it was absurd, but long experience has shown that it is good for the land, both for cleaning it from all vegetation, and also from a tilth point of view. The question is asked, however, why cannot we have some crop, and then fallow m the latter half of the .summer? It certainly would be a good plan to have a crop—My of hay, conung oil pretty early in the season, and still leave sufficient time for a. half fallow. It would have just as much beneticial cfiect as one carried out through the whole time. For this purpose nothing beats a mixture of Italian rve grass with a little trifolium or trefoil. If some of this is sown with the previous corn crop, and allowed to grow all winter together with any gra& such as twitch, which may be present making the tand foul. a considerable cut at hay mny be obtained early in the yoar-say in the beginning of June. and if this is cleared off there is still plenty of t ime to make a complete fallow. THE DRAWBACK. It is worth while thinking of this method for next year. and every farmer who purposes fallowing a. ?ood field would be well advised to follow this system. The drawback is that on stiff clay land it is the winter that is required for this kind of treat- ment. as it is often impossible to do ploughing in the summer time—at any rate in dry weather—be- cause the clay setc as hard as concrete and the plough-share cannot, even scratch it. Under euch circumstances it is only a steam cultivator which can work. and it ie not always, convenient or desirable to hire thts thing, so that this drawback must be borne in mind. But apart from this the growing of a crop M M to eave a total loss of the neld could be carried out and yet have a good fallow afterwards. MOLE DRAINING. This is a much neglected method of drying our !and. aud an article in the Royal Agricultural 8uciPtY'/5 "Journal" brings the question onc.e more to the front. As a matter of fact a. very large pro- portion of the regular ordinary drains .have ceased to work on our farms. These were put in from forty to sixty years ago, and although they should have w-orked for ever, yet nevertheless they have given out in many cases, und the land really needs re-draining. The expense of this, however, would be too great, and therefore it is recommended to have the land tnolE'-drained-where the soil is mutable—-over the trip of the original pipe-tile drainage. The work is, of course, only poeeible in stiff clay. as in sandy, gravelly or stony soils the "moles," as the najnc goes. would soon collapse. The writer of the article recommends that pa.ch separate mole drain should discharge into one main drain laid with pipes, ratl.(('j' than have each one di8Charging separately into a duel'. The present'writer does not ngree with thie, but from experience would prefer to have each drain '<e;t).'tely opening into a ditch at the bottom of the Held if this could be managed, but unfortunately the widtn :!nd depth of the ditches do not always suit themselves to the wheels of the drainage imple- ment. THE COST. The mole draining apparatus which is. of course, putied by a plough engine nowadays, winding with a d«nb)e rone round a huge pulley wheel, is not very <<si]y handled, and docs not suit the style of dr:un- i' g straight from an open ditch. Apart from this, a" ofdina.ry draining has usually been done at a w, I I of at least 30 inches less than this will suit for the mole draining-, and 20 to 24 indies is a very good :tU()w:)nce. Preferably, of course, the new drain should be run at an angle across the old ones. and where a drain to catch the latter is being put in then thi'- should be laid with pipes several inches lower than the proposed main work with bushes died in on top of the pipes, and then when the mole draining apparatus comes along it should be run alon7 clean over the top of the main through the \)11-11 work laid over the pipe=. This is sufficient to make a good junction for the water running out of the moles into the main, and Is a much Msicr method and much better than laying a separate pipe up each mo)e. and the ('ot of the whole is not very heavy. At seven yards apnrt it can be done at £1 per acre, while at 13 yarrk. apart it is done nt about the cor- r£''ponc1ing" number of shillings. This is. of course, frlr the draining part alone, and dop., not Include the !:)br,ur carried out by the farmer in carting and lay- ing the pipe's for the main drain work. buslung.et-c. LASTING MANURES. Apparently manures put on the land do not last iuug as we have been accustomed to think. At Rothamsted special trials have bc-en conducted to test this point, and the results form the basis of the tables of unexhausted values which have been recently issued by tho&e authorities. As a matter of arithmetic one can easily take the number of pounds of ingredients of fertility removed by <uiy crop per annum from the number of pounds put on in the form of manure to see what remains, but this doM not amount to anything, because over and above the amount removed by the crope there is a v<rv great WMtage. No part of the ammonia or nitrates in manures lasts beyond the second year: the rest is either washed out of the soil or dissi- pated into the air. Then again, CAXE FEEDIX6 OF ANIMALS on pasture doea not last more than two years, and where cake-fed dung versus atraw and roots alone have bMa tried this is all the beoent that can be obtained. Straw manure lasted longer beoMMO it fermented or rotted more slowly. With such ferti- liters as wool, hair, bone, etc., a term of four years is ) allowed, and basic <Iag Is found to be good for aa much as seven years. It is pointed out that rich soi!s lose much of their nitrogen simply by the waiiiiiig of rain, and the method of improving this is to grow catch crops or forage crops, which can be ploughed into the land, and these help to retain the fertility. It is rather disappointing to nnd that the results of these experimenta -411;ltic,r our faith in the lasting influence of dan- urf\< :)nd that the question of "cumulative fertility" }, rather upset thereby. ELECTROCUTING MILK. Doctor Hope. the Medical Omcer of Hcuith for Liverpool, reports the results of some experi- ments on the influence of electricity on milk. It 1--Ms that Professor Beattie haa been working at thIs for some time with a rapidly alternating current. A regular now of milk has been passed "'ro't.rh insulated copper vessels, so that the milk ? arrongly and evenly electrified, so to speak. The ?'f?j? Q.{ ?j? ? ?? ?? bacteria In the milk have "?'n ki)]ed. It appears that the milk Is not Wholly sterilised, but that the principal bacteria. tnorc particularly thoso which are not propagated "V spores trc almost completely exterminated, and ? science is progressive the methods and results are likely to be still further improved. It ia rather etrajige that we have not had thia sort of thing investigated long ago, for the present writer remembers it being Jiscusseù just forty years ago In one of the soientinc journals, and .some of the 'information then was that the electricity did no good. Apparently, however, it is going to succeed now, probably because we have better instruments, and better methods of using them. I DESTROYING DISEASE CERM6. There Is not the least doubt that If milk could be Hterih.sed in thia way it would be of immense benefit to everyone concerned, because the trouble is the posstbihty of mitk bearing disease germs in the ) one case, and in the ether carrying thQ germs which cause souring, and if these can be killed by t simply "shocking" the milk, as it were. it would be a vest step forward. It is cert:) in that the bacillus tuberculosis and the bacillus coli com- mmns have been killed, but apparently some other organisms have still been left alive. On the other hand there is no alteration in the milk eitner from a digestive or point of view, and ap- parenUy not en.n the vitamins ore interfered with. If this sort of thing could be developed still further and made a commercial success It will open the door to enormous possibilities In the making and handling of milk tin the future. P.S.—The author will be pleased to answer through this column euch queries with regard to matters of Agriculture, etc., as are likely ta be of general intcr<\<t to readers. letters should be ad- dressed to Primrose McConnneH. 69, Hiighgatc, Kenda).

fAMMAHFORD URBAN DISTRICT…
f AMMAHFORD URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING. On Wednesday evening, the 13th inst., a special meeting of this Council was held at the Y.M.C.A. Irucitituto, the Chairman (Mr. B. R. Evans) presid- ing. There wore also prL'seMt: Mr. John Harries (vihairman), Messrs. Evan Lewis, D. G. Davies, Evan Evans, T. Fietchcr. David Jones, J. C. Shaw, William Evans. John Morgans, and John Davies; together with Mr. T. M. Evans (clerk), and Mr. D. Thomas (!iurveyor). TENDERS. For the removal of house refuse, road refuse, and contents of cesspools—two men and two hordes and carts to be employed from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., and no workman to be provided by the Council—the following tenders were received:—J. E. Davies, 12s. day; U. IDs. per day; anù Joshua, 7s. lid. per day. Mr. David Jones proposed, and Mr. Evan Lewis seconded, that Mr. Jsunes Joshua's \'l'Ilder be accep- ted; and it was agreed that for the nrct week one of the Council's workmen should go round with the contractor in order to show him the district. The Surveyor stated that the list printed some tilll41 ago. giving details of the time of calling of the carr. would to be iiow. Mr. Wm. Evans said a considerable sum of money would be saved during' the year by the decision of the Council to have tenders for the whole of the work. The following tenders were received for street watering:—Morgan Bros., Is. 3d. per hour; David Francis. Is. 5d. per hour; D. Grimths. Is. jd. per hour; J. E. Davica, Is. 3d. per hour: and James Joshua, Is. per hour. It was proposed by Mr. D. G. Davies. seconded by Mr. John Davics, and agreed to, that the latter tender be accepted. LETTER FROM THE ROAD BOARD. A communication was received from the Road Duard. å"iI!lg for certa.in returns, and also the classification of the roads In the &rea. The Clerk said the only question which arose was whether it would be worth while for the Council to make application to the Road Board for a grant respecting the improvement of the roads in their area. Mr. Wm. Evans said the County Council had a schema in hand for the improvement of the main road from Mandilo to Neath; and in that scheme two miles of the Ammanford road would be taken up. so he did not think it wise for them to go behind the backs of the County Council. The Clerk said he did not mean to go behind their backs if they had a scheme showing Improvements In. Ammanford. Mr. Wm. Evans said they would not consider anything excepting the county road. The money w.is got from motor cars. as a rule, and they dealt with over whijh motor cars travelled. The Clerk said he thought It would be only fair that the Ammanford district should have a share of the surplus money. The Surveyor believed that what the Road Board wanted was for the Local Authority to assist the 'County Council as to the classincttion of the road?. It was decided to refer the matter to the Road* Committee. WATER CHARGES. Some discussion took place with regard to a com- mturcation received from the Great Western Rail- way Co.'< Engineer, to the effect that. provided the minimum charge of the Council for II. supply of 80 000 gallons of water per day at PantySynnon Station be reduced from JB150 to :6150 per annum, h<- would be .slad to recommend his company to accept the offer. A letter was also read from the Clerk to the Cwm- amman 'Council, ask'ng at what price the Amman- ford Council would be prepared to supply his Coun- cil w'th 11,000 gallons of water per day for ten w('('ks.. In reference to the former letter the Council de- ciaed that they could not see their way to reduce the minhn'm charge; and as to the application of the Cwmamman Council, it was agreed to charge 4?<L per 1000 gutlons. w,th a minimum of 60.000 pnKons a day. t

IINTERESTING PRESENTATIONS…
I INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS AT TRECASTLE BIŒl'O:\8HIHE AND CARMARTHENSHIRE FAMILIES UNITED. There was an interesting function at Traianglas, near Trocaatia, on Wednesday evening, when Mr. <md Mrs. 0. T. IIarrya-Howells, i'antglas, were maUe th< ripient.s of valuable gifts subscribed to by the parishioners generally. Those consisted of —to Mr. Harrys-HoweIla, a roll top desk and a purse of gold, and to Mrs. Harrys-Howells a silver- mounted oak tray. The presentations v.ere made respectively by Mrs. D. 1'. Jenreys. Camden House, a.nd Mrs. Teague, wife of the Vicar. Preceding the presentations, which were made at a. crowded public meeting, a tea and social was held, the cater- ing for the former being in the hands of Messrs. T. Roberts and Sons, Crown Stores, Llandovery. Mr. Harrys Howells, who comee from a well-known Breeonshire family, is a churchwarden, secretary of the Agricultural Society, a member of the Brecon Board of Guardians and Rural District Council <u]d other public bodies. whilst .Yl.rs. Harrys. HoweILt is a daughter of Mr. Williams, Erryd HOUlit.. Llandovery, and a sister of that well-known medico. Dr. W. G. Williams, Cardiff. It was in- tended to make the presentations soon after the marriage, but illnese in Mr*. Harrys-HowellB' family rendered a delay inevitable. The desk bore the following inscription:—"Presented to Mr. 0. T. Harrys Howells by the I)--trii;holners of Trecastle and friends on the occasion of his marriage Feb. 18th. 1914." The tray bore the initials "J. L. H. H." The Rev. D. J. Teague, vicar, presided over the meeting; Mrs. Jeffrey:. in making the prcaentationa to Mr. H. HowtIIt, in the erst place apologized for the absence of Mr. Jeffreys, who had to go away to turn! a long standing business engagement which could not poaeibly be put off, but he wished her to say that he would have been very i,Iad to be present that. evening. It gave her great pleasure to pre- sent Mr. H. Howells with the desk and purse of gold. Sthk, hoped that he would hand over the latter to Mrs. Harrys-HoweIk—(laughter)—as ladies were able to manage the money in the best way. These gifts were tokens of their good will and every good wish for Mr. Howells' future happiness, and also of their appreciation of his willingness and readiness to he)p every good cause in the par'sh. In Mrs. Howells he had found a most excellent wtfe. and they extended every welcome to her in their midst, and hoped she would be very happy in her new home. which was situated amidst beautiful surroundings (applause). Tht're were loud cries for a speech, and Mr. Harrys-HoweIIs. in a happy response -said that his prine'pal speech was made from the platform on the 1st of January each yeaj. As competitors in etsteddfodau and in other directions they sometimes half quarrelled. At the close, however, they were !'t\vay-. the {)P;"t of friends. To-night he came on the platform in a new role a" an old marned man (laughter). Yet he assured them that he was verv happy to-day. Previously he always felt that there was something wanting In his life. That want had been supplied at last, and he was realizing the h'uth of th- old Trech dau nac un'' ("Two are better than one"). He was now "pending the h )pp!cst moments of his life. He had been married three months, and there had been no quarrel be- tween him and his wife vet. So contrary to what he said in responding to the toast of his "health on the morning- of his wedding—"Happy moments quickly nying"—hiB happy moments v.-ere only just commencing (applause). They would continue. Having made a jocular reference to what Mrs. Jfffr'-Ys sa':d in prescntinsr the purse.. he said he <1.-ph :?pt-<-??d th.- kind feeling they all had SIIGW1} towards him. and Mrs. How-elk and be should like to have an opportunity to pay them all back. Hr had done his best to further such objects m the district as eisteddfodau and ploughing matches, still he felt that he was greatly in their debt. His wife and he would be glad to see them- any of them. at any time. call at h's home, and they would be very pleased to entertain them. On behalf of Mrs. Howells and himself he again thanked them. The Vicar paid a tribute to Mr. H. Howells' ser. vices in connection with the church as a church- warden. He wished both long life. happiness, and prosperity. The Rev. — Green. vicar of LIcweI. tcstined to the respect and esteem in which he held Mr. Howells. He had not had the opportunity to come to know Mrs. Howells personally, but he knew her father well and greatly respected him. He was glad that he was enjoying good health in his old age. He had known Mr. Howells a greater number of vears than he would care to say, and he was glad to say before his wife—had been of the best. He had watted him carefully since he came to the neigh- bourhood. He had found him to be an <-xcepjon to the genera.! rule. He had found him to be a mau of actioos, and always ready to do what he could in every direction. He had proved himself to be :m excellent farmer, and they had cood ones m that neighbourhood, but he wa.s one of the best. As a cattle dealer he had developed wonderfully. and he (the rev. gentleman) had heard experienced dealers say that he had become almost the chief of the dealers, and they bid some noted ones in that district and Carmarthenshire. He then touched on Mr. Howells' connection with journalism, dwel. ling on the fact that it took some time for them to fmd out who the promMing writer who contributed under the nom de guerre of "Novos Homo" wa". H!s eontrihntions to the pros" -reated a good deal of excitement in the neighbourhood. He dwelt on Ins able servicef! to the district in thi« connection also. and said a more appropriate name would have been "Xovu! Rex." Of Mr. Howells' per,%everance in the nght to win the hand and heart of the Ia.dr who had became hit. wife. Mr. Green had some very mterestmg detalle to lav before hi« hearers The task had taken 15 yea.ra. and hi.. trii westward had been taken In all weathers. At last persever- ance and grit In face of many rebuff triumphed. He :)a)d a warm tribute to Mr. lImn-II,. as a churchwarden, and referred to the war he had de- v -)(.pe,l duri))? the 25 years he had known him. He was a talented man. and extremely 'xf-ful He hoped tInt Mr. and Mrs. Howells would be spared many years to t a good example a< neighbours. and to do what th<'y could for the :rreat Master and the well l¥'ing of f.ocidv (applause) Councillor T. Robert?. J.P.. LIandoverv said he had to be cal)< upnn to speak tint evemnT. He wa.s more accustomed to speak behind hf' counter at the Crown Stores in LIandovcrr in intro(Iticiiiz his goods and wares, which was a verv d'uerent thing to addressing a distinguished nudl- ene? hke the- one before him that evening. 'He h)?hl\ appreciated the honour to he there at t)?e pr(isc,nt,itic)n. and he was particularly Dien.sed with the good things said of Mr. Howells. But If he spoke til! the next morning he could not enumerate all his good qualities. Mr. Green had told them that he was at one time puzzled as to why Mr. Howells visits to LIandorery were so frequent for 15 years. Mr. Howells owed him (Mr. Roberts) a debt of gratitude. He claimed credit to some ex- tent that it was through his influence Mr. Howells won hi. bride (laughter and applause. That debt he had handsomely repaid. He washed them every succor in their new homes (applause). Mr. R. J. B. Jeo'reya, Trecastlc. said that be shoujd like to eay a few worda. Mr. Howells and hjmself farmed next door to each other, and had 1mown each other since they were boys. It had often been said that a Breconshire man could not do better than get a Carmarthenshire lady for a wife. That Mr Howells had succeeded in doing, e'fl In and from what he (Mr Jen'reys) had seen of her he had come to rhf conclusion that he had made an excellent selection (applause). As a member of the Board of Guardians and Rural District Council Mr. Howells had be<m the means of bringing about a great many improvements in the. district. He had acted a secretary for the LIewel ploughing match for the !ast 20 years, and it wa? in a most fl()llr¡,,7Jin co!)dinon at the present time. He was nonr?T)]'!)? co!)dinon at the present time. He was verv glad his ?rvices had been recognized. His wish was that Mr. and Mrs. Howelis 'might enjoy many years of happiness and prosperity (applause). Durjng the evening recitations and songs were given by Madog Fechan. Mr. J. Cole Jones. LIan- dovery; Mr. Tom Evan". Black Horse; Mr. Joseph. Crai¡!?och. and Miss Eva.ns. Tircid. Mrs. J. C. Jones was the accompanist. The presentation of the silver oak tray to Mrs. Harrvs Howells was made by Mrs. Teagu. wife of the Vicar.
