On Wednesday evening, a drait of tne Rcsei-vo Pembroke: aire ifcomanry, now trailing at Car mar- then, left for Norfolk, ihey were escorted to me Jundtion by the Boy Scouts' Band. FOXHOUNDS' MEET.—There was an exceedingly small attendance at the annual meet 'of the Carina. thenshi.-e Foxhounds 'at Guildhall-square on Iscw Year's Day. The unusually strong gale which was. hlowing, and the heavy downpour of rain, militate against the day's success. On Wednesday the Reserve Battalion of the 4th Welsh, headed by their band, had a route march through the principal streets of the town. From, our own' observation we may mote thl tthe men, who are now provided with their uniforms, all show Ia. decided improvement, and already, although the regiment has only been in existence lor a few j months, the men march with the precision and sol- dierly bearing of veterans.

(', RECRUITING IN WEST WALES
(', RECRUITING IN WEST WALES The Carmarthenshire Recruiting Committee are arranging for another series of meetings to be held in connection with the ecruiting for the Carmar- thenshire Battalion. The meetings fixed ae to be held at Porthyrhyd, Cefneithvn, and Mynyddy- garreg. where well-known speakers will be present. One meeting has been fixed for the 13th at Llan- gathen, when Lord Dynevor and other prominent gentlemen of the district will speak. The chair will be taken by Mr. D. Williams-Drummond, Hafodneddyn. The committee have also requisitioned the ser- vices of a travelling van to tour the county. The lecturers accompanying the van arc able speakers, .and their lectures will be illustrated by lantern slides. Recruiting for this Carmarthenshire Battalion is rather slow at ^resent, and it is a matter of regret that the men who have already joined, and who .are stationed at TIhyl, North. Wales, are greatly delayed in their training through the want of such a large number of recruits to complete the battal- ion. We foci sure that the sons of Carmarthenshire,— many of whom are slow in realising the danger our country is in, will not allow this county battalion to talf through for lack of men. This would be an insult to the memory of the brave men of the county past and present" and cause posterity to label the present generation as one, of which no country might feel proud cf. Now that the other regiments billeted at Car- marthen are practically complete, perhaps the next fe y, clays will witness a substantial increase.

_8- LLAilDSLD URBAN mSTIGT COUNCIL ] The monthly meeting of the; Conned ne'tl en j TsiescCuy evening, there were present: Mr. D. I Morgan, White Horse (chairman); Ör. Jones (vice- ci.ai; man). Rev. E. L. Jones and Messrs. Claud R. PnVles, D- Prit.chard Davies, W. Hopkin, A. E. Harries, J. Stephens, W. Hy. Jones. thn clerk. Mr. H. -Shipley Lewis; the medical officer of health, Dr. Pbi'Jips: and the surveyor, Mr. R. Walters. Replying to Mr. A. E. Harries as to whether he ecnl-fi now state if it was compulsory to close shops on !1 Holiday week, the Chairman said it was yet, and that- was the reason he did not give orders for closing them in Christmas week. In answer to a letter from the Clerk, Lord Dynevor wrote staging that he considered it was the duty ot the Council to repair the railings in Bridge-street. They had probably been put- up when the new bridge was erected, and as a consequence the level of the road altered. The Council agreed to carry out- the repairs. Mr. Hy. Jones said that a general wish was ex- pressed that a record should be kept of townsmen who had joined the colours. The Chairman expressed a like opinion and added that they coukl do it now as far as was possible as the enlisting wcnt on and later on they could have a complete list. Could they not extend it to other parts of the country where men from the town had enlisted? Mr. C. R. Davies thought they were premature and a roll of honour could only be compiled of those killed in action. It was explained that only a register was mennt. Dr. Jonc* a«ked if they were going to confine it to the urban district, as Mf A. E. Harries pointed out there was a member from within eight miles' residence of the town. Mr. Edwin Jones wrote asking when the channel that hed hem proposed months ago wa" to be done in Market-street? In reply the Surveyor said thnt he had not until the present suitable bricks. He had ordered the "proper sort and would have it done soon as pos- n ble. Mr. Hopkin. Victoria Inn. asked if he might he allowed to graze a few sheen in Per.lon Park for a few months. would no responsible for anv damage. The Council decided to grant the application.

Davies again moved it should 'be an all round charge of 4d. per unit. as the Rev. E. L. Jones did not apparently press the motion. Dr. Jones held that if they went to the expense of putting meters for others why not for him. Mr. D. P. Davies held that that did not matter. There was no seconder to Mr. D. P. Davies amendment and the original proposition carried that a meter should be put in and three pence per unit charged for power and the usual sixpence per unit for lighting purposes. Tenders for channelling Crescent-■'•on d were under discussion. Two had been received. One was £26 8s. from Messrs. Charles Thomas and Co. The other was from Mr. -S. P. Morris for £Z:2 10s. On the motion of Mr. D. P. Davies seconded by Mr. Claud R. Davies. it was agreed that the cheaper be accepted. For road metalling the tenders Messrs. Charles Thomas and the Lime Works, Ltd., were considered. The former was again the cheaper, and on the motion of Air. Hy. W. Jones, seconded by Air. C. R. Davies. was accepted. Mr. Edwards, Onenfiuvr Fawr. wrote stating that the pumps- on his farm were out of oraer. The Clerk explained that in connection with the old reservoir- those pumps had to he kept in repair. It was agreed that at. a cost of JE3 the work should.be done. The sanitary inspector. Mr. Walters, a de- tailed account of the work done under the Housing and Town Planning Act. There were 30 houses in the town that sanitarily did not comply with the Act. Mr. C. R. Davies thought a committee should have been appointed months ago. He proposed it be called within the next fortnight. Mr. D. P. Davies thought they had better leave matter- as they were. They would want the Ger- mans there to carry the A-CF out. Mr. Harries—That was John ferns' Act. He's gone. Mr. W. H. Jones—But the Act remains. Nothing was done in the matter. On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of con- dolence was passed with Mr. Herbert Peel. Taliaris, and family on the loss of h; son whilst fighting for his C'ountry.
BRYNAMMAH NOTES
BRYNAMMAH NOTES [BY "PARK LAE.") Matters are not at all well in the colliery world at Brvnamman and district, as a very large number of men are out of work. The Ynys Amman, the Cawdor, the Brook, and Cwmtng Collieries, as well as the major portion of Pencraig Colliery, .are all on stop, though the stoppages have not the remotest connection with the war. It will be seen that "This is a serious matter for the locality, and at present there are no signs of an improvement. The writer has been to make it known that the total amount of money collected at Christmas bv the Brynamman Public. Subscription Band was eleven pounds eighteen and ten 1£11 18s. 10d.). This sum is being used to reduce the debt due. for instruments, and was not, as is foolishly believed by a few unthinking people. shared amongst the players. The members and committee of the band have bad to make many sacrifices in order to keep the organization going, although each member con- tributes one shilling per month into the Instrument Fund, the aggregate result cannot be very great, and the members of the band and committee earnestly appeal for support from tb<* public. It would not be inopportune for the writer to remind the public, that, they are under an obligation—a moral one, it is true-to give the band the best support possible. As times are bad pist now. and monev is scarce, it is not possible to do a great ideal, but it is to be hoped that when the prospects, brighten the band will not be again forgotten. La4 Thursday week, at the age of 74. the death took place of Mr. Evan Lake. Alountam-road. He had been ailing for a long while, and had been un- able to follow his occupation as a tmworker for the plst two years. In his time he had shown him- self to be a man of pronounced mentality. His words were few but well-chosen, and his opinions were such as almost always command attention. As one of thp original trustees of -the Brynamman Public Hall and Library h" had performed many a good, if unostentatious, deed for the welfare of the institution, and had right loyally helped it tb weather manv a tempestuous storm.

u LLAHSTEPHAN NOTES ¡ Christmastide was in keeping with the present I condition of the country—very grave and quiet. On Christmas morning there were celebrations of the Holy Sacrament at. S and 11 a.m. in the Parish Church. The anthem, Behold I bring you good tidings," was rendered at the latter service, the solo being rendered by Mr. J. Thomas, Edwinsford Villas. The church was decorated with appropriate mottoes of Noel time, and evergreens. The usual tea parties were held at Bethel, Moriah and Bethany, while at the two latter very interesting and in- stru-etive programmes of music and recitations were J, provided. On Tuesday. 2Sth uU. an diiiii-raced service of song, entitled" Only a Gipsy." was given at the ] School, and on Wednesday, 30th ult., the annual tea party and distribution of prizes of the Church Sun- day School Was also held at The School. The friends from afar this year were scarcer than usual. Still the annual "knuts" appeared and looked none the worse for their exile. All those who have patriotically given their services for King and Country seemed in the pink, and ready to do or die in the anxious days which immediately confront the nation. To the few remaining shirkers it may be good news that their services are going to be invited during the course of this month, and if the invite is not accepted, then another tune is going to be played soon after—we shall see the march of the coBtcripb —valiant men. Our congratulations to Lance-Corporal John Trcharne, upon his promotion in the. P.I.Y. at Car- marthen, after only a few weeks' attachment to the corps. Bright, pleasant and intelligent, with a prac- tical knowledge of the management of horses and their requirements, we confidently hope at an early- date to sec John up another rung of the ladder which is set for all those who are possessed of t-he ordinary amount of grit and perseverance. To brighten the somewhat sombre outlook of the Belgian refugees at The Plas during the death and birth of the Old and New Years, the happy idea of providing a Christmas tree occurred to Mrs. Dowdes- well. the hon. secretary of the local committee; and 011 the last day of the old year the thirty-four exiles were treated to an ideal Christmas tree, heavily laden with toys, presents and useful gifts for every age, ranging from five months to fifty years, there or thereabouts. In addition to the resident guests, invitations were strictly confined to members of the local committee: light refreshments and fruit were plentifully provided during the evening, which was enjoyably 'spenf in seasonable games and music. The most interesting function, of course, was the dis- persion of the presents from the tree, and the happy and delighted countenances of the recipients amply repaid the vast labour and attention to detail neces- sary to the successful issue of the function. The following contributions were gratefully received in addition:—Mrs. Morris. Coomb, cheque; Lady Phil- lips, crackers; Mrs. Delme Davies-Evans. cheque: Mrs. Penrhvn. cheque; Mrs. Dempster, toys: Mr'. Phillips, Dark Gate, Carmarthen, cutlery; Mr. D. Williams, stationer, Lammas-street, Carmarthen. toys. The 'following contributed songs during the evening :—Messrs. H. Mat-thys. Lucien Mo'tvnck. Me-;dames Frit and Beylemans; a duett by Mr. Mostynck and Miss Lewis, the matron: recitation, Miss Nellie Stephens. The Grove: and a song by Miss Hannah Williams, The Bakery7; and a musical medley by Mr. Prc-spre Scorme. Messrs. Achille and Christaphe Matthy.s provided the instrumental music. The rendering of the National Anthems of the Allies at 9 p.m. brought the happy 'function to a close, and accompanied with hearty cheers for Mrs. Dowdeswell and Misses Doris and Lilian Dowdeswell. who worked so unsparingly during the evening; Mr. Gaunt (secre- tary of the Carmarthen XTnion Distress Committee), and Airs. Gaunt were also present. During th" season of goodwill, the tender refugees were well looked after, several members of the local committee presenting each child with suitable pre- sents as happy m0mentOf:s of their enforced visit in warmhearted Wales. But of all the unwilling nncl ready response of the charitably disposed, none can beat the happy wishes of Jack, Willie and Clifford Pugli, Camden Town. London, who were eagerly anxious to distribute the whole of their Christmas presents to some unfortunate little Belgian sufferers, and through the influence of their friend, Miss Eleanor Stephens, The Grove, a splendid assortment of the youngsters' delights has been received and handed by her to the happy recipients at The Plas. A worthy and patriotic trio of little London Welsh. The Old Year was tolled outby the church bells, and the new rang in with merry peals. A very few parties were out with the old-time custom of sing- ing in the new. As all the world over. it is the devout wish of everyone that the New Year, which opened so unfortunately, may bring in its course the blessings of peace and prosperity once more to the thousands of mourning families eo ruthlessly bereft of all that, are dear to them in father, son and brother, that so gallantly have given up their lives in defence of home and kindred.

> A CHAT WITH THE FARMERS [By WYN."] THE YEAR'S FARMING IN WALES. Speaking broadly, the Welsh farmer has cause to I' congratulate himself on the result of the year s work, for his crops have, a-5 a whole, been good, and the prices obtained for nearly every class of pro- duce have been sat:factory—indeed, in same cases very good. In a few uism-cis there has been a brisk demand ior all kinds of food, owing to the large .armies that h ?ve descended upon rural dis- tricts, and growers of market garden stuff, milk •e.lieis. poultry kernels, etc.. have had every chance of securing .good returns. It. must not, however, be too readily assumed that the high prices have. as a matter of course, gone to the, advantage of the t iirmer. Take the high value of wool for example. Tt has been at a premium, and possibly there are ,J]p DV farmers who are a bit better off in conse- quence. Bat the extraordinary demand did not arise until late in the year, and by that time the bulk of the clip had passed out of the farmers' hands. It is well, therefore, that exaggerated ideas should not prevail, but it is, nevertheless, true that the year has been a good one for the Welsh, like the English agriculturist, and that present and prospective prices offer him a very decided induce- ment t0 make his holding produce more than it ever did before. Wheat averaged 42s. 7d. the week before Christmas, barley 29s. 3d., and oats 25s. 9d. The corresponding prices Jast year were 31s. 2d., 25s. lid. and 18; 5d. The differences afford fome me is ure of the improvement in the outlook of the produceu. SLAUGHTER OF BREEDING CATTLE. The Irish Department of Agriculture thinks it needful to issue a warning concerning the slaughter of young heifers and stripper cows which, it is said, is taking place to a considerable extent, accom- panied also by the sale of similar cattle for exporta- tion. The movement is no doubt cine, in part, to the possibility of a shortage of feeding stuffs, but there can be no good reason for the slaughter or exportation of young heifers, and unless this is checked the stock of breeding animals in the country is in danger of serious depletion. It is Jiffi- ciu- to understand the position. "Needs must when the devil drives." says an old proverb, and if a man cannot keep his stock and must raise money at any cost, there is nothing more to be said. Bu- why anybody who can keep his breeding stock should sell them for slaughter-prices just now will puzzle the ordinary farmer. Not only is he throw- ing away a good chance of a substantial profit later on. but he is acting unpatriotically. The general interests of the country require that the stock of breeding animals should bo conserved, ann fortu- nately the bulk of farmers are quite aware of the fact that in this matter their own interests coincide with their duty. THE SHORTHORN BREED. Mr. Frank P. Matthews, of the well-known firm of John Thornton and Co., which has so much to do with the disposal of high-class stock, gives in the "Live Stock Journal a review of the Shorthorn trade in 1914. The war and the out- breaks of foot and mouth disease have disturbed trade greatly, though the latter did not interfere with the Scotch herders, Scotland having been freo from the disease. On the other hand Irish breeders suffered very heavily." Prices have, considering all things, been well maintained, the average of 5.272 animals having been £33 9s. '7d., which is about £2 below that of last year, but about the same amount above the figures of 1912, 1911 and 1910. and jB5 above those of 1909. The highest prices were 850 guineas, which the Prince of Wales gave for Red Knight, a Coilynie bull. and 710 guineas, given for a two-vear-old bull, Redgorton Brutus, tit Perth. Mr. Matthews thinks that no more favourable oppor- tunity than the present has ever occurred for start- ing new herds, and that those who have sufficient enterprise to do so will probably be well repaid, for after the war there is an almost certain pros- pect of higher prices and an increased demand from all parts of the world. A notable confirmation of what we have previously set out in this column is afforded by the prices recorded for Dairy (pedigree) Shorthorns. When a draft of 47 animals averages over £88, with prices varying from 450 guineas, the fact that there is a. market for the pedigree Dairy Shorthorn is very evident, and though we are far from suggesting that the bulk of farmers would find it answer to go in for pedigree breeding, the farmer who is willing to take the trouble to keep accurate records of yields and who takes a pride in his herd may well consider the proposition. With the aid of the grants from the Government in support of pedigree bulls for the use of farmers, the difficulties in the way of herd improvement are greatly lessened.
GOLDEN GROVE
GOLDEN GROVE XMAS THEE.—On Friday—New Year' Day—the scholars attending Golden Grove National School were invited by the Dowager Countess Cawdor to a tea and Christmas Tree. In spite of the inclemency of the weather and the long distance which some of the children had to travel, comparatively few of them failed to be present. Punctually, at 3.30 p.m., the scholars, accompanied by Mr. T. Daniels, the headmaster, Mrs. Daniels, and Miss Lena Daniels, marched from the school to Golden Grove Mansion, where at the servants' hall they sat down to a sump- t.uous tea which everyone much enjoyed. They after- wards adjourned to the coach-house, the interior of which had been pretitly decorated for the occasion. In the centre of the room stood the Christmas tree beautifully illuminated and decorated with flags and other seasonable emblems. Standing round the tree, the children sang the National Anthem of 'France. Russia and Japan and were heartily applauded by the audience. Countess Cawdor then presented each scholar with a handsome present which' was much admired. Her ladyship was ably assisted by Lady Edith Fergusson and children. Lady Mabel and Major Beresford Pearse and children, and Miss Turner. Bags of sweets and oranges were also dis- tributed before dispersing. At the close the vicar (the Rev. Aldred Williams) proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Lady Cawdor for her generosity and kindness in providing the children with such a de- lightful treat. This, on being seconded by Mr. a. Daniels, was passed with loud applause and hearty cheers. Both sp0akers, in the course d their re- marks, referred to the good qualities of the Cawdor family and to the kindly interest which they had always taken in the welfare of the neighbourhood. Mention was also made of the fact that, amongst the members of the Cawdor family now serving in His Majesty's Forces three sons of Lady Cawdor are rendering gallant and loyal service. The singing of the National Anthem brought a very interesting function to a close. CHURCH HALL. CABMEL.-— Sunday, services were commenced in this hall on the first Sunday of the New Year, when the Rev. Aldred Williams, vicar cf the parish, officiated.

-I.1'O< _1_- To Farmers and Stock-breeders. As all sorts of Grain and Meal are likely to be very high in price this season owing to the War having entirely stopped the export of Barley, Maize and Oats from Russia and Germany, we would direct the attention of all Farmers and Stock-breeders to excellent substitutes which are to be found in BRAN AND SHARPS. These are splendid feeds for all kinds of Stock, and are likely to be far cheaper than any other article. They are rich in nutriment, are good aids to digestion, and aiso have high manurial value. The Bran and Sharps manufactured by WEAVER & Co., Ltd., Swansea, are of the best quality, and buyers would do well to place their orders with their Merchants tor a regular supply of WEAVER'S BRAN & SHARPS WEAVER & Co., Limited.
