Newton). At Lane End they ^ere almost all in mourning. Mr. Newton ^°°k a deep interest in Buckley, and al- ough he had been away for a good num- er of years, his good will was always with them. Mr. Newton's family was one of the oldest families in the district, and Imd held Conspicuous position for many years. The ^ther was manager of several local col- lies, and two brothers—one of them the L deceased-held similar positions. Not only had they taken a deep interest in the busi- nc-ss life of the district, but they were also Volunteers and capital shots; certainly r* John Newton himself had to be reck- oned with in any shooting match in the ^strict. Possibly some members of the ^°«ncil had heard that Mr. William New- els wife had been taken seriously ill dur- the day, and that was an additional to Mr. Newton. He moved that a let ter be sent to Mr W. Newton expressing sym- Patily with him in his sad bereavement.

Presentations at Caerwys Recognition of the late Rector's Services, I The parishioners of Caerwys showed their appreciation of and good feeling towards their late rector, when on Tuesday evening week they assembled at the Church Schools for the purpose of making parting gifts to the Rev. and Mrs. A. E. H. Hyslop, who have just taken t11,) their residence at the Vicarage of Llanfechaii, Mont. The pre- sents included a handsome gold watch to the late Rector, and a pair of candlesticks to Mrs. Hyslop, on behalf of the parishion- ers, also a pair of flower vases to Mrs. Hyslop from the members of the Girls' Friendly Society. Mr. H. W. Davey, J.P., Maesmynan, pre- sided over a crowded attendance. The presentation was preceded and followed by a very pleasing musical programme includ- ing sacred song, "Bring them in," Miss C. Jones and party (Mr. Nicliolls conducting); song, "The little beggar girl," Miss E. Nicholls; song, "The old rustic bridge" (encored), Mr. Ralph Elstone; song, "Yr Hen Gartref" (encored, "Daddy"), Miss Lucy Roberts; song, "The Diver," Mr. J. Jones; song, "The Voluntary Organist," Miss E. Nicholls; song, Miss Lucy Roberts; sacred song, "Count your Blessings," Miss Carrie Jones and party; song, Miss E. Nicholls; recitation, Miss Lily Jones; duet, Misses E. Nicholls and Mildoon. The ac- companiments were played by Miss Nich- olls. The Chairman said in bidding farewell to Mr. Hyslop they also thanked him for all that he had done while rector of Caerwys. They knew how the Church had TTenefited by his great efforts. In his new parish of Llanfechan they wished the rector and Mrs Hyslop every happiness, long life, and suc- cess in their work for the Church. Mr W. Matthews (churchwarden) said on behalf of the parishioners of Caerwys he asked Mr. Hyslop to accept the gold watch as an acknowledgment of his good work during the six years they had had the plea- sure of having him as rector of the par- ish. The inscription on the watch wi, "Presented to the Rev. A. E. II. Hyslop by the parishioners of Caerwys as a token of their regard and esteem for him, and with their best wishes for his future prosperity. —Caerwys, 1914." He was sure everyone wished the Rector and 3Irs. Hyslop every happiness in their new home and parish (applause). Mr. John Williams (churchwarden), in presenting the pair of candlesticks to Mrs. Hyslop, expressed the pleasure it gave him, on behalf of the subscribers, to make that presentation, and to ask Mrs. Hyslop's ac- ceptance of the gift with their best wishes (applause). Miss Heel then presented Mrs. Hyslop with a pair of flower vases from the mem- beis of the Caerwys branch of the Girls' Friendly Society, in slight acknowledgment of her great kindness and the interest she had always taken in the Society. Mrs Hyslop, in accepting the gifts, ex- pressed her appreciation of the kindness shown towards her.

A CORRECTION. The Rev. A. E. Hyslop said before he referred to the handsome present, he wished to make a correction. In the "Flintshire Observer and News" of Easter week there appeared a report of the ser- vices in the church on Easter Sunday. It was a very kind report, but somewhat in- accurate. The report stated that there were 60 communicants the first Easter he came to Caerwys. There were 75. Ac- cording to the book issued by the Bishop of St. Asaph, there were 58 communicants 24 years ago in Caerwys Church. That number by 1912 had increased to 147. That increase did not take place during his (the speaker's) incumbency only, but during the incumbency of the Rev. J. F. Rees, now rector of Halkyn. In 1907 there were 125 present, the next Easter after he came to Caerwys. He came a fortnight before Easter, and the services were held in the same order as they had hitherto been held. The communicants were then only 75. It was well-known that when changes took place there was a certain amount of leak- age, and in that way some did not take communion. Mr. Rees had reached his high-water mark the year before when there were 125 communicants. That num- ber had now increased to 162, and they thanked God for it. However, he would further say that they were not all parish- ioners of Caerwys. Seventeen out of 162 were from Afonwen, which was in the par- ish of Ysceifiog. Proceeding, the speaker said he had now gone to live to a very beautiful part of the country, and he should say, exceedingly healthy, because for the long perioa of 137 years there had only been four rectors, while in Caerwys there were some present in that room who remembered nine rectors. If there was one thing he should like in going to Llanfech- an, it would be to take with him some of the hardworking, honest, straightforward, and true friends from Caerwye. He should, however, leave them behind knowing they would bear their burden in the work of the Church, working for the Glory of God in the future as they had done through long years in the past, thinking it a glory and honour to do anything for their Master and His Church. That was the spirit he had found in Caerwys, and he was con- fident that spirit would prevail, and that the Churchpeople of Ca-erwys would help his successor loyally in his work. With regard to himself, that was the fifth occa- sion in his ministerial life that he had been recognised as he was that evening. He had never expected such A HANDSOME PRESENT, nor one so useful. It would always make him think kindly of Caerwys and its peo- ple, and remind him of the happy days spent in Caerwys. He felt grateful for the present to his wife, and especially for the gift from the G.F.S. Whatever credit was due for work accomplislied in Caerwys, it was due to tho congregation. He prayed that every blessing might be showered upon Caerwys, especialfy upon its venerable church, and that it might never be void of faithful sons and daughters to carry on the Master's work and win at last His ap- probation, and that each one might hear those highly-desired and gracious words "Well done." The Rev E. Lodwick Ellis, rector of Ys- ceifiog, speaking of the late rector, said they worked in neighbouring parishes in South Wales, then they came d neighbour- ing parishes in North Wales. He regret- ted the close association was broken up, J He trusted that he would have much hap piness in his new parish, and that his suc- cessor at Caerwys would follow on the good work which had so greatly distinguished Caerwys for many years He Congratula- ted the parish upon the appointment of the Rev. J. Sinnet Jones to the Rectory. At the close of the meeting a henrty vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman and to those who had so successfully organised the presentations. The gold watell wae supplied by Mr. A. Schwarz, jeweller, Holywell.

Holywell Nursing As- sociation. ANNUAL MEETING. The fourth annual meeting of the Holy- well District Nursing Association was held at the Town Buildings, Holywell, on Thursday last, when the Rev. J. W. Tho- mas (vicar) presided over a large attend- ance. Mrs. Ayer, hon. sec., in the annual re- port, stated that during the year 110 patients were attended 74 maternity cases; 30 cases attended free of charge; fees re- ceived, Y.37 2s. 6d., an increase of £ 14 2s. During the year the Nurse made 2216 visits. The committee were fortunate in having a nurse so conscientious and untiring in her duties. The Inspector had visited the dis- trict, and reported that the duties of Nurse Jones were well done and the equipment in good order. The committee thanked the Carnival Committee for their contribution, they also thanked Mrs. GorcTon for her contribution of clothing for the maternity bags, also for the bicycle, which was much appreciated by the Nurse. The total in- come for the year was Y.166 16s. 7d., de- rived from subscriptions, fees, etc. The expenditure amounted to Y.140 10s. 7d., leaving a balance in hand of £26 6s. Mrs. Ayer pointed out that the balance in hand covered the first quarter's expenses until the annual subscriptions came in. The Chairman said the report and bal- ance sheet were both very gratifying. They had no hesitation in saying the Association was doing an untold amount of good in the neighbourhood, and those who were the re- cipients of the visits of the Nurse could en- dorse their convictions in the matter. The report was gratifying because of the increase in the amount of fees received. Mrs. Aver: The insurance maternity bene- fits have made a great difference. W* made a rule to charge 10s. in each case ex- cept where people were very poor. The Chairman, proceeding, said there was a great amount of self-support—an in crease of E14 in fees was considerable, and afforded satisfaction to the committee, who devoted so much time to the work. It was well to see a balance in hand sufficient for the work to go on until the subscriptions came in. He thought the number of visits made by the Nurse showed the excellent at- tention she gave to the sick. The Rev. Dr. Oliver, moving the adop- tion of the report and statement of ac- counts, said he should have preferred that the ladies had moved that resolution. They were more indebted to the ladies than to anyone else. He only came casually to show his appreciation of the splendid work done by the Association. The report was very gratifying. Mrs. Williams seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The Chairman said lie considered they should place on record their heartfelt ap. preciation of the work which the ladies' committee had done during the past year. He knew something about their work and the unceasing supervision they exercised. Were it not for the voluntary work of the ladies not only in the work of the Associa- tion, hut in the collection of subscriptions, he did not see how such a work could be carried n. He was pleased to move from the chair that their deep thanks be accord- ed the ladies' committee for their efforts, during the past year, and that they accept with regret the "esignation of Mrs. S. Pul- ford, who had been one of their most active members. The Rev. Fr. Ryan seconded the proposi- tion, which was supportoa By tile Rev. Dr. Oliver and carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. Oliver proposed that Mrs. J. T. Morgan be appointed on the commit- tee to fill the vacancy caused by the rceig- nation of Mrs. Pulford. The proposition was unanimously carried. On the motion of Mrs. D. E. Morris, se- conded by Mrs. Johnson Jones, the best thanks of the Association and Ladies' Com- mittee were accorded Mrs. Ayer for her able and painstaking work as hon. secretary of the Association. Mrs. Ayer, acknowledging the eompli ment, said it was a pleasure to do the work, and she desired to recognise the help and support she received from all the mem- bers of the committee. The Rev. Dr. Oliver and Mrs. Morris, on behalf of the meeting, recorded their ap- preciation of the Nurse's work. Dr. Oliver thought it would be an encouragement to Nurse Jones that they should acknowledge her diligent services. The Rev. Fr. Ryan proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs. Johnson Jones, remarking that though fully occupied in many direc- tions she was still able to give full atten- tion to the Association, with the best re- sults. Mrs. Williamson seconded the proposi- tion, which was carried, and the proceed- ings closed with complimente to the Vicar fo.r presiding.

I East Flintshire C.E.M.S. Federation. ANNUAL MEETING AT SHOTTON Last Saturday afternoon the annual meet- ing of the East Flintshire Federation of the C.L.M.S. St. Asaph Diocese, was held at Shotton. There was a representative gath- ering of delegates from the several branches, -Firet, there was a service in t. Ethelwold's Church, the Rev. J. J. J. Robinson officiating, and the Rev. O. Rees, vicar of Bagillt, and president-elect, reading the special lesson and preaching the ser- mon. The preacher from 1 Samuel xv., 14, "What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?" delivered an appropri- ate and effective discourse. The hymns were selected for the service and were ac- companied with much taste by Mr. Stephen Morris, the organist. The service con- cluded with a Litany by the Rev. J. J. J- Robinson. There were also present at the service The Revs. F. S. M. Bennett, Haw- arden; Wilfred Griffiths, Flint; G. Davys Jones, Holywell; W. A. Davies, Bagillt; el Capt. Oldfield (Church Army). Tea was subsequently provided in the church room, and afterwards the annual meeting was held. The Rev. F. S. M. Ben- nett presided, and with him were the Rev. O. Rees, vice-president, Mr. Edwin Roberts chairman of the Federation, and Mr. J. W. Connell, hon. sec. Mr. Connell submitted his annual report, in which it was stated that there were now 7 branches in the Federation with a mem- bership of 285. Two branches, Bistre and Greenfield, had joined the Federation. Ffynnongroew was forming a branch, and probably other parishes would shortly form branches of the Society. A number of meetings had been held, and the two grati- fying features were the good attendance and extensive reports in the local Press. Increased interest and greater zeal was shown. Two members attended the Cardiff conference, and gave interesting reports of the proceedings. On June 20th at Hawar- den there would be a "quiet afternoon," which, he hoped, all members would at- tend. The balance sheet for the past year was also submitted and approved, on the propo- sition of Mr. J. D. Adkins, H&warden, se- conded by Mr. W. H. Jones, Shotton. On the proposition of the President, a vote of thanks was accorded the hon. sec. for the very gratifying and able report he had submitted.

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. The Rev. O. Rees, vicar of Bagillt, vice- president of the Federation, was, on the proposition of Mr. E<twin Roberts, seconded by the Rev. J. J. J. Robinson, appointed President for the ensuing year. In accept- ing the appointment, the Vicar of Bagillt said he thanked the meeting for the honour and hoped he should be able to advance the best interests and work of the Society dur- ing his year of office. Mr. T .E. Taylor proposed that the Vicar of Connah's Quay, the Rev. E. J. Davies, be appointed vice-president of the federa- tion for the ensuing year. Mr. Carter se- conded the proposition, which was carried with unanimity. Messrs. J. Coulter, and Tom Taylor were elected delegates to attend the annual con- ference of the C.E.M.S. in London during October next. The Rev. O. Rees proposed a vote of thanks to the President for his services during the past year, also to Mr. Connell for his work as secretary. Mr J. Coulter seconded the proposition, which was car- ried, and the compliments were acknow- ledged. The Rev. F. S. M. Bennett delivered an able address on "The Basis of Anglican Fel- lowship," the subject of an address by the Bishop of Oxford. The Church of Eng- land, he said, had a bad time ahead, and it was necessary that all Churchmen should know what they stood for-the principles they held to. Several took part in the discussion that followed, and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the President for his address.

KINNERTON FATALITY. Farm Labourer Run Over by a Goods Train. The Flintshire Coroner, Mr. F. Llewellyn Jones, held an inquest at Kinnerton on Sat urday afternoon concerning the death of James Tanney, farm labourer, of Shordley Manor Farm. Deceased was accidentally run over by a train on Thursday eventng. He had been to Chester in company with Wm. Thomas, of Kinnerton. They left Chester on the 9.30 p.m. train and got off at Kinnerton Station at 9.50. Wm. Thomas croseed from one side of the line to the other and de- ceased followed him. An express goods train came from the direction of Mold and knocked deceased down. Evidence was given at the inquest by W. Longfield Jones stationmaster, who stated that he called out to the deceased to come back, but he evidently did not "hear him. Two women, also passengers, were on the point of stepping down to the crossing on the down side, but they heard hie warning and kept back. Immediately the goods train had passed he went across, but could see nothing amiss at the crossing. After searching he saw something lying between the rails 36 yards away, which, on examina- tion, was found to be the body of the de- ceased. Passengers had been repeatedly warned about crossing the line at this par- ticular spot. John Partin, Bramley Farm, and David Holmes, of Saltney, alao gave evidence. The jury found that the deceased was ac- cidentally killed.

Profitable Poultry Culture. BY RALPH R. ALLEN. Lecturer to the Herts County Council; Ediloi of Monthly Hints on Poultry," &c. (All rights reserved.)

A SUCCESSFUL BREEDING SEASON. (Continued.) (Readers are particularly requested to note that this series of articles commenced with (ilie first issue in January. In order to obtain their full value, the earlier articles should be read in conjunction with the cur- rent one.)

REGULATION BEFORE COMMENCING INCUBATION. It is most important to ascertain that your machine is properly regulated and per- fectly steady before placing your eggs in the 0 egg-chamber or drawer. Every machine has its own specific instructions for regula- tion these should be closely followed, and ic is an error on the right side to allow the machine to run at the required tempera- ture, empty, for three or even four days, rather than fill it with eggs immediately it reaches ii:6 heat. Mention may here be made that in the case of a new machine, or the first time an incubator is used during the season, it is really essential to run it iemr-ty for a few days. It requires thoroughly warming; damp to a greater or lesser extent has got into the machine, and it is advantageous to dry it out in order to secure even running.

CARE OF THE LAMP. Readers must almost be wearied by my continued insistence on the necessity of at- tention to detail, yet without it success can- not be expected. The lamp must receive attention daily. I grant you many will burn for forty-eight hours or even more, but my advice is, see to it daily-it will not then be fargotten- and, fuillier, have a regular time for at- tending to it. Personally, mine are always trimmed in the morning. If they are done at night, to my mind there is a danger of them increas- ing their flame, and, owing to -lie operator having retired, this might escape attention the danger, however, is remote. Trimming a lamp is quite a science; the first particular to remember is scrupulous cleanliness. Never over-fill the lamp reser- voir, never cut the wick, rather pinch it off, removing every particle of burnt material. Employ only a high-grade American oil, cheap oils are disastrous and even consti- ¡ tute a did inct danger. Use a new wick for every hatch, remembering it is advantage- ous to purchase special wicks rather than the common material frequently sold by Italian warehousemen. In good machines the consumption of oil is very small—this is more noticeable still in hot-air machines—this implies that a small flame only is necessary. So after at- tending to the lamp, see Itliat it is burning brightly and clearly, and just sufficient to keep up the required temperature. Carelessness in this direction, employ- ment of inferior-grade oil, neglect in trim- ming, and draught are the principal causes of chimneys smoking; a smoky chimney means an accumulation of soot, and, in turn, the presence of soot implies the inabi- lity to keep up the required temperature. If the trouble should happen by any cause, I cannot too strongly advise you to cease r operations until such time as the soot is en- tirely removed. The presence of soot is also a menace to safety, sooner or later it will fire, and such a danger, perhaps in the middle of the night, is a serious one. The obnoxious effluvia from a smoky chimney or a dirty lamp is only of secondary import- ance, none the less it frequently appeals to one before the more serious reasons here detailed A final word on this subject; the attention tne la up rceiv s should be such that the incubator could remain throughout the hatch in your living, or even bedroom, without causing annoyance. SELF-FILLING LAMPS. I have used these, and willingly concede I that great improvements have been made in them during recent years; at the same time I greatly prefer to use the ordinary lamp. A self-filling lamp may act perfectly for years, but sooner or later it will fail, and that failure probably involves the loss of the hatch. Yes, there is also the attendant risk in an ordinary lamp, but inasmuch as I that receives attention every twenty-four hours, against twenty-one days on the other hand, that risk is greatly minimised. Natu- rally, opinions differ on this point, and should you determine to use a self-filling lamp, be careful to buy a good one, and from a reputable firm. (To be continued.)

Allen, Sawbridgeworth, Herts, will be answered through these columns free, but those requiring a postal answer direct, or sending birds for post mortem examination, must remit half-crown postal order.)
