AGRICUlIuRAL NUiuo ) POTATO PLANTING. J There can be no doubt that tneiC is a raptuiy in ci-eusmg quantity of potato cultivation, ana great | skiU exercised in the selection and tieaimen. oi dlv seed ajid in manuring'. With goou vane ies 1. is uu doubtediy profitable to do the work thoroughly. it is astonishing to find in what wxuvii iin-y lities iu is found advantageous to spio-u. u»o before betting it.. There is a steady uiuoavcur t', early potatoes yet eariier. it is not so 1 years since tne early mew potatoes were <'J.LU. in- significant in quantify; it suoli times the Sj<iouii.j0 [ ,)i sets was almost entirely confined to a n-w le-ai's for the garden. Now the canaries, Jigypi, la1.t.a., the Scilly Isles, and the Channel isianus OJUI- pete with one another for the hrst place, uiougii u | can hardly be said that they pay <-ual attention in j rin point ot quality, for tne Cuaunel lsJanus utiui j thf Sead in this respect. But it is not m these ) place» only that forcing is attempted; the inild siua. j nous on the west coast have been requisitioned ior so;no time, and exceptionally sheltered positions ai II, localities have been used. Gradually, now- j <n't-r., far less likely places are being e.muloyed, and there is no doubt that sprouting sets with the in- j tention of getting tubers on the market at .an earlier I wriotl will become far more general than it is at. present. More expense is incurred and greater lisk j if f rost has to be taken, but the chances of profit j •i iv such that notwithstanding- risk of all occasional j .sev«T<>. loss, the business » a paying one. At one,, iinn- only the very earliest varieties were used fori sprouting but there has been a marked devlopment J among the later kinds. These crop more heavily, j arid come in immediately after the foreigners have j finished and before the ^ordinarily-grown second 1 •»Hj-Jie«. and therefore make good prices. It is pro-j ha lie that it will be.in this direcdou that sprouting j w ill be .very largely carried out in the .future. j j SHEEP -AND CLOVER. } Tin- rapid growth of clover at iiiis .time of the i, vear is a source of danger as there is considerable likelihood of it causing injury to sheep owing to the liability clover haw.in these circumstances of generat- in gas in the stomach. Clover too quickly grown is very apt to ferment- so that sheep eating it be- come hoven or blown.. It is strange that while] there is .little indigestible fibre in the first growth of •-lover, as compared with later ones, this food is imu at its most indigestible stage. It is tempting to farmer to put his sheep on it, after the long | pejxod xluriiig which they have been forced to feed? on dry and apparently uncongenial foods, and the "ltt.p relishing the change, eat greedily -of it. A quarter of an hour's, unre^jbre.iaaed feeding ton a pre- viously empty stomach is often sufficient to set up so much fermentation t.hat t.he stomach is stretched to bursting point.

EASTER QUARTER SESSIONS
EASTER QUARTER SESSIONS Cardiganshire The Easter Quarter Sessions for the County of Cardigan were held on Thursday 111 last week at Lampeter, Mr. J. W. Willis-Bund (chairman) pre- siding. The other magistrates present were; Messrs. Morns Davies, Charles Lioyd, Bertie Davies-Evans, D J Williams, J. H. Davies, James Gninths, Dr. James, Messrs. George Pryse Methuen Lier, Roderick Evans, David Francis Lloyd. G. H. P. Evans, John Jones, and others.. Referring to the reduced Exchequer contributions, the Chairman said he did not know what the Govern- ment, intended to do in W aics, but they had ill- timated to the English counties that they intended to pay the police pensions in full, but not the whisky money, which is devoted to higher educa- tion. That would be a serious thing for the authon- ties which had the control of a large number of secondary schools, for they would not be able to pay their teachers' salaries without putting on an extra rate. YOUTH'S ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Edward Gardiner (19), labourer, who had been committed by the Cardigan magistrates, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide on January 17th last.. Mr. J. Bowen-Davies (instructed by Mr. Daniel Watkins, Lampeter) appeared for the prosecution.^ Prisoner, who was undefended, pleaded "Guilty. It was stated that he was engaged at Vaynor Farm, near Cardigan. While in a barber s shop at Cardigan accused took up a razor and drew it across his throat, inflicting a wound. The accused now put in a written -statement stating that the reason why he attempted to end himself was that he had led a miserable life at the hands of his employer's two sons, who accused him and another lad of misbehaviour and of not doing sufficient work. He had been in prison for eleven weeks, and was deeply sorry for what had occurred. He was upset and depressed at the time. and pro- mised not to do such a thing ag&.n. The Chairman said the case was a very painful one. The boy was sent down from an industrial school at. Enfield to .a farm near Cardigan to give him an opportunity of earning his own living. He could imagine ijothing much more serious than a poor, unfortunate boy coming down to a place of this kind and being ill-treated there, and that there was some ill-treatment seemed extremely probable. He was informed t>y the police that proceedings had been taken against one of these sons by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and a" conviction obtained against him. He hoped the case would be a warning to those persons who, well-meaning, no doubt, sent children down into the country to be very careful in the inquiries they made that the children were well treated..The court was of opinion that boy had been suffi- ciently punished by having been in prison since January 24th. and he would now be discharged. The governor of the Prison a.nd the Prisoners Aid Society were good enough to see that he was sent back to his amtinLondon. and he (the chairman) honed the hoy would now go on well. This concluded the business of the Sessions.

This was not 80 much in The industrial (districts, but in the lonely country districts, where the police supervision was necessarily difficult. These offences by the tramping community were becoming a terror to the countryside, and it seemed imjxjssible For the present, laws adequately to deal with them. STANDING JOINT COMMITTEE.

discharged with ignominy from the Army, and was evidently a waster, and one of the criminal vagrants from which the country was suffering so much. Although the punishment which had been inflicted on him in the past seemed to have had no effect on him, they hoped that the sentence that they were going to pass on him would be a warning to him, and that he would turn over a new leaf when ho was still young. Ho would be sent to prison for 12 months hard labour. THEFT OF COPPER. Alfred Cooper pleaded "Not guilty" to a charge of stealing a quantity of copper, value JB2 13s., the I property of the Llanelly Urban District Council, on the 1st March, and also receiving from James Robinson the copper, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Wilfred Lewis appeared for the prosecution, while defendant was not legally represented. David John Phillips, caretaker at the Upper Reser- voir. Llanelly, said that on the 4th March ho re- membered a copper screen, about 33 inches square, being in the shed at the reservoir. During the day he saw a man named Robinson going to the shed with a horse and cart. Witness passed the time of day with him, and went on to the Mynyddmawr railway. Witness saw Robinson go to the shed twice. When witness went back to tho shed he found the copper screen missing. Tho copper (produced) was part of it. William Penn, coal and metal merchant, Llanelly, dejwsed that on the 4th March defendant and a man named Robinson went to liis shop with the copper (produced). When ItSl.d where it came from Cooper said that they had bought it from the waterworks. Witness paid them JB1 18s. odd for the copper and a machine which thy I had. Cross-examined by defendant—He had done a lot of business with defendant, and had always fotind him straight. Evidence was given by P.C. Jenkins, Feliiffoel, to the effect that on the 4th March, in consequence of information received, lie visited the yard of the lust witness, and brought away the copper (pro- duced), which looked as if it had been recently cut. When charged before the lianelly magistrates, llobinson admitted having stolen the eopper. Wit- n-e-s, told defendant that he was making some ún. quiries about some copper that had been stolen from the waterworks, when he charged defendant with the offence he admitted it and added, "I am a <cVip-potato merchant, -and I and Robinson deal in old metal. I work lu with Robinson, and am a6 ba-d a he is." P.C. Charles Vincent, stationed at the Uaneny Docks, spoke to being with the last witness when defendant made the statement. He corroborated P.C. Jenkins's evidence. Mr. James Montgomery, deputy surveyor to the Llanelly Urban District Council, identified the cop- per as being the property of the council. It was worth E2 13s. Defendant, giving evidence on his own behalf, said that Robinson and ho were in partnership to- gether. On the day in question they went out with a pony and cart to the waterworks. Robinson went I-n, zaid afterwards came out with the copper, which he shid he had purchased. As witness had always found him straighforward and honest, he did not lon'ht his word. It was not true that witness had told tfie constable that lie was as bad as Robinson. What he said was, "1 suppose I shall be classed as bad as he is." One of the jurors asked why defendant was not leg-ally represented. The Chairman said that he could not say. The defendant had had the opportunity of being de- fended if he wished. The guTY found defendant Tiilty of receiving the copper, and as defendant hoped that his previous good character, and the fact that his wife was ill. would be taken into consideration, lie waa bound ov*,i- for six months. "SOMEWHAT DARING LARCENY." Annie Grant, a married woman, was indicted for L*he theft, at Llanelly, between the 23rd February [and the 11th March, of seleral articles of clothing, etc., valued at L4 6a., the pfoperty of Wm. Thomas. .Defendant pleaded "Guilty" to the charge. Mr. Wilfred Lewis, for the prosecution, stated that defendant and her husband had been lodging with uVlr. Thomas, and had unaccountably and sud- denly disappeared, taking the things with her. fUhe Cliairman said that nothing was known against defendant previous to this somewhat daring larceny. Ile. (jjid not know whafc had induced her to corimdr. it. They did not want to send a young w 0 1 like her to prison, and would bind her over under the Probation of Offenders Act for one month, during which time she was to be under the super- vision rs. ^Capt.)
