AGRICULTURAL NOTES BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. # THE USES OF LOCKBHE. Lucerne is a highly nutritious and palatable food for all kinds of fa'—' p ir protein, however, it should be combined witb some other food rich in carbohydrates. The crop is essentially one for dry climates and dry soils, and in some positions is invaluable. Although a. calcareous soil is not essential for its successful growth, the crop thrives better where there is plenty of lime, either in the soil or the subsoil. Where such a favourable condition exists, the long, strong roots, which render a crop of lucerno practically independent of rain, often penetrate to a depth of many feet. Strong soils inclined to be wet are not suitable for the growth of lucerne. The duration of the crop varies somewhat, but in this country under favourable conditions it will usually continue to yield a large bulk of produce during a period of from five to eight years. In a series of experi- ments carried out at University College, Read- ing, good results were obtained on the lighter class of soils by including a few pounds of lucerne seed with the grass and clover seeds sown for a two or three years' ley. and this practice can bo recommended to farmers who have to deal with hot. dry land. Lucerne is not well adapted for grazing, being generally cut for hay or soiling just before coming into Bower. It does not attain its full productiveness in its first year. but should yield one cutting, and possibly a second, by the autumn following sowing. In subsequent years it may produce upwards of 20 tons of green fodder, or 2 to 4 tons of hay. THE RAILWAY RATES COMMISSION. It will be remembered that & Departmental Committee on Railway Rates recently reported that the railways of this country did not give a preference to foreign produce. This is not to the liking of the CentraJ Chamber of Agriculture. It is complained that the Committee failed to ap- preciate the grievances which the witnesses of the Central Chamber, together with other agri- cultural bodies, brought forward. The greater part of the majority report, it is asserted, consis- ted merely of a summary of tho explanations a.nd assertions of the various railway managers. The minority report seemed not only to recog- nise to a greater extent the agricultural side of the question, but also to grasp more clearly the means of the terms of reference. The Chamber believes that the greater part of the railway cross-examination was, in many instances, open to refutation; but, whereas the agricultural wit- nesses were cross-examined by members of the Committee who were experts in railway techni- calities, there were no semi-experts to cross-exa- mine railway witnesses on behalf of agricul- turists. The Council of the Chamber have asked a. Committee to prepare a memorandum dealing with the various points of the Departmental Committee's report, which, it is thought, if pre- sented to the Board of Agriculture on behalf of the Chamber may present the whole matter in a totally different aspect. • • THE DERBY SHOW. The Royal Show at Derby opens on the 27th inst., and ie likely to prove a good one. In horses and cattle the entries are very nume- rous, exceeding those of previous years. For in- stance, the horses number 547, compared with 372 last year, and 256 when it was previously held at Derby (in 1881). The cattle entries num- ber 900, against 898 last year, and 392 at Derby. Sheep and pigs do not exceed, but are a good average. All departments will be opened on Wednesday the 27th, when the judging of live- stock, poultry, and produce will take place. During Thursday and Friday the riding and driving classes will be judged, and the jumping competitions and parades will take place in the large ring. On Saturday, at the close of the jumping competition, a military tournament will be held. In the dairy, butter-making com- petitions will be held on Thursday and Satur- day. Butter tests and dairy demonstrations will also be conducted, and experiments with the cream of various breeds of cattle will be made to determine the selling value of the cream and the various qualities of the butter made therefrom. An agricultural education and forestry exhibition has again been organised. and will include a nature study exhibit arranged by the County Councils Association. The ar- rangements are complete, and the only thing reo maining to make the show a success i» fine weather, and the support of the public in the form of gate money. • • GREEN CROP MANURING. Experiments prove that the soil will produce a larger crop from having the plants grown upon it ploughed in than if consumed by animals and their manures applied to it. But this does not always settle the question which method is most profitable to the farmer; for the increased value of the stock consuming the crop has to be taken into account. That ploughing in a green crop will generally enrich the land more than if the crop had been consumed on the land by sheep would appear to be an obvious fact, for the excreta of animals weighs less than the food they have eaten. There is a diminution of the most valuable constituents of the food in passing it through the animal, and as in their ultimate de- composition )f the original food will be greater in quantity and richer in quality if none of it is assimilated by animals. In this country, how- ever, where the great demand for meat practi- cally rules the agricultural economy, green manuring cannot be recommended for general practice, and for this reason, that the crops usu- ally cultivated for ploughing in are those which are most valued as green food at particular times during the summer. Green vetehes, for instance, and the aftermath of clovcr. for example, are both most valuable to the farmer from being ready to cut at a time when the pastures have begun to fail. The same is true of rape and several other green crops. Yet there are cases where a resort to ploughing in green crops may bo abvisable, as In some light sandy soils de- ficient in organic matter and situated in a locality whero other means of enrichment are not so practicable. SELF. MAINTENANCE OF THE SOIL. The need of providing for the self-maintenance of a soil by good management of the home re- sources is of not less urgency now that we have helps in auxiliary manures formerly unknown at our command. In economical agriculture the question will always be important, and in the case of low prices for produce is a positive neces- sity. The alternative of maintaining fertility by the purchase of auxiliary manures or by pur- chases of food for live-stock, and the artificial enrichment of their manure, is also one of the most interesting for the farmer. The latter, plan, which now forms part of all good farm manage- ment. is theoretically more economical and prac- tically more enduring than fertilising- the soil by the use of artificial manures but neither of these alternatives will be justified by results except nnder Tery extensive systems of farming, or else during a. period of high prices. Considering the operations of animal nutrition and growth as a mere chemical process, the manure excreted has a value which, calculated according to the data supplied by the manure market, is a very largo proportion of the original market price of the food. < < A POTATO DISEASE. The disease called the potato leaf curl is one very largely diffused in this country, on the Con- tinent, and very general in America. The curling of the leaves is the first indication of the presence of the fungus, although the base of the haulm is first infected, and the curling of the leaves is due to the ascent of the water and food being checked by the upward growth of the fungus mycelium in the tissues of the haulm. At a later stage the fungus breaks through the tissues to produce its fruit, which is indicated by the presence of numerous irregular, blackish, mm. velvety patches scattered over the sur- face of the haulm and leaves. The disease can only be caused in two ways: -(1) By the presence of mycelium in the tubes; in this way hitherto clean areas become infected. (2) To the presence of fungus spores in the land; this implies the previous presence of a diseased crop having been grown in the same soil. The preventative measures will consist in not planting sets which were grown in an infected area. Whero the disease has occurred the hanlms should be brought together and burnt. A dressing of kainit in the rows when the potatoes are planted would to a certain extent: safeguard the crop by kill- ing the spores of the fungus present in the soil at the moment of germination. < USING NATURAL MEANS. When it is desired to make the utmost use of the natural sources of fertility, the land may be allowed to remain more than one year in grass and clover, or one green crop may be followed by another, or a perennial leguminous crop may be grown lor several years. The losses by sale of corn are thus diminished, and the land is kept for eome time under conditions favourable to an accumulation of nitrogen in the surface roiL Of course, it will often be economical to poll more of tho produce than just the corn and the meat, and purchase manure in the place of it.

According to a Laffan's telegram on Tues- day Mr Edison says his discovery of cobalt in North Carolina will revolutionise J' 113 electric world. It will enable him to r.-uuee the weight of automobile storage batteries by half, and it will reduce tho cost of motor traffic in cities to more than half. The prospectus of the new issue of tiuaran toed 2 per cent. Irish Land stock" was pub- lished on Tuesday afternoon. The amount is for JC7,000,000, tho price of issue being f9. The new chapel of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in St. Paul's Cathedral dedicated on Tuesday in the presence of the King a.nd the Prince of Wales.

GARDEN WORK. OUTDOOB GARDEN. Things are backward, bat most of the beds fend borders have been filled with suitable plants, and now comes in the work of pegging down and staking, according to the habit of web, or to meet e object m At --rite* Je*Sterl- ing Illustrated. The time was when geometrical patterns were filled with low-growing plants, and these were kept low by pegging and pinching. For a time this gave satisfaction, but as might have been foreseen it was overdone, and then taller plants were dotted about, and beds of Cannas, Castor-oils, and other fine foliaged plants were used Now we have gone back to the Old English garden, which is chiefly fur- nished with hardy plants, and, I fancy, this will ltay for some time, because there are many ways of using them. There are plants suitable for massing on the lawn, and though this is claimed as a modern idea. it is really going back past the middle of the last century. Surface etirring is better than watering in a general Vlay, though newly-planted things may require water; but I would rather employ the labour in deepening and improving the soil than in watering. Where Mignonette is sown among Roses the plants should be severely thinned. Harrison's Musk makes rather a pretty groundwork in a moist bed for Lobelia Queen Victoria. Roses are backward, and must be guarded from insects. PLANTS IN THE HOUSE. Trumpet Lilies are easily grown, and other Lilies, such as Auratum, are done well by some amateurs; but the scent is too powerful in a confined space. Even in the conservatory, when several plants are in bloom, the odour is too much for some people. Pelargoniums and Cal- ceolarias are now bright, and Palms are always useful. DIVIDING EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Old stools of the early-flowering Chrysanthe- mums are now in splendid oondition [or divid- ing, although this ia much later than is usual. Some plants can be divided much better than others, Madame Marie Masse and its sports, Ralph Curtis, Bobbie Burns, Crimson Masse, and Horace Martin each taking kindly to this treatment. There are also many sorts in cultiva- tion that trace their parentage to the varieties juet mentioned, and most of them partake of the same characteristics in regard to their growth as the parent variety. Numerous underground, sucker-like growths are emitted from the baso of the old plant, and with a sharp spade it is possible to detach from the outer edge of the old stools a shoot or two with plenty of roots adhering. These pieces may be transferred straight away to the flowering quarters, where, if they be watered in after treading the soil firmly round them, they will quickly become es- tablished and flower well. Thie detaching of the outside growths with a sharp spade or other im- plement is a much better method of increasing etock at this time than that of lifting the plant and dividing it. Were the whole of the old stool permitted to remain undisturbed too many weak shoots would develop. ROSES IN POTS. The plants potted,up from the ground last autumn may take a larger pot now if they have done well. These have, of course, been grown cool, as they will not force till established. Most of the plants will be in flower more or less, and a shift now will encourage growth, and they will continue blooming up to the autumn, and be well established for work during the winter. Liberty does well under this kind of treatment, as most of the Hybrid Teas will do under simi- lar conditions. Roses do well in Keitering loam, with a little manure added. and when grown in good loam it is wonderful how little trouble the insects give. CACTI. At this time of the year a few of these make a very effective display, and they are well suited to the needs of amateur cultivators, as they can be grown to quite large plants, in moderately- sized pots, and may bo packed pretty closely to- gether during the winter in any dry place where they are safe from frost. No watering is needed from October until the days begin to lengthen, when they should be soaked in tepid water and started into fresh life, and as the sun heat in- creases they will start into vigorous growth, and their gorgeous flowers will well repay the trmi ig amount of labour they entail. Even without any blooms they, owing to their quaint and very dis- tinct forms, are well worth a place, to add ariety even to a limited collection of plants. PLANTS FOR BED. The best carpeting plants for a bed of dwarf Roses are Tufted Pansies. These will bloom through the summer, and their beautiful soft colours contrast charmingly with the blossoms of tIN Roses. They may be raised from seed sown in February or March for blooming in the current year, while from cuttings taken in July. using the young growths from the bar-e. good plants will be obtained for furnishing the bed the ensuing spring, and at such a trifling cost as to be within the reach of everyone. Cos LETTUCE. Many prefer this to the Cabbage varieties, especially when it has to bo made into a salad, and to get nice blanched heads it is necessary to tie a piece of raffia round each plant, doing this when the leaves are q' te dry, treating a score or so at a time, accordi to tbe demand. Some think this a waste of labour, but it is well-spent, even with those sent out as self-blanchers. To maintain a daily supply, seed should be sown every fortnight on well-manured ground, trans- planting the thinnings when the weather is showery, as they quickly run to flower during hot weather. BEETROOTS. It is very often found that the roots of this crop have grown to Mangold-like size by the autumn, when the time has come round for storing them, simply because the seeds have been sown too soon in spring. Large Beetroots are practically of no value in the kitchen, be- cause they are coarse, and not only this, but they are so difficult to cook. Beets, everyone knows, must not be cut, broken, or damaged in their skin before they are sent to the kitchen, or they become spoilt by the loss of sap and colur, and are unappetising and poor. Rich ground, again, need not be prepared or set apart for this crop, because this in like manner spoils them. That which has been cleared of a spring Broccoli crop may be dug up neatly, and when the sur- face has dried it may be rolled, and the drills drawn ready for the seeds. It is advisable to make the surface firm at this period of HIe vear, as a preventive of too rapid evaporation, for when the weather continues dry for a length- ened period after the seeds are sown they often remain in the soil a long time without germinat- ing. A light dressing of salt is an excellent stimulant for the Beet crop, and this applied at the time of digging would greatly help in main- taining a moist state of the surface.

HINTS TO AMATEURS. With very thin crops of Plums and Apricots there will be an excess of young wood that will soon have to be dealt with. Any well placed young shoots should be laid in, and all the breast wood shortened to four leaves to form spurs. All puckers should be cleared, and cut out ae near the point of origin as possible. There will not be more than half a crop of Gooseberries and Currants, and there is a tendency to make strong growth, which ought to be thinned. Deal with caterpillars very promptly. A dressing of Hellebore powder, either dry or in water, will generally meet the case. Disbud Peaches and Figs, and outdoor Vines should bo gone over and the shoots thinned. With a severe frost whilst the Apples were in bloom the crop will be thin. The larvae of the codlin-moth have probably in many instances been dealt with. Those who dislike using poisons may use one of the petroleum washes. This will answer the same purpose, but will probably cost a little more. For Peaches there is nothing better than Tobacco-powder. Tomatoe? may safely go out now. If the rite has been recently dug make it firm by treading. Give tho plants plenty of room, and keep them freo from surplus side shoots. Mulch with manure to save watering. Plant Vegetable Marrows or transplant any plants which have been raised outside. Ridge Cucumbers may have similar treatment. Peg out the shoots as thev grow. A peg here and there will answer Fill all spaie pits and framcs with something useful. Green Ginger for preserving is not much grown now. If a pit can be given up to it the little plants may go out now. Plant in good soil on a bed of leaves which have been used for another purpose previously. Sow Endive and Turnips freely now. Both these crops are rather uncertain early in the season, but win be more likely to stand now. Keep tho hoe going when the surface is dry. Thin all young crops in good time. Potatoes will grow now, and should be cleaned and earthed up, scattering a little artificial manure alongside tho rows before earthing up. Plant out Brussels Sprouts, Leeks, and early Celery.

I OUR NEW PRINTING MACHINE. =-- I • "7 The above illustration represents the Victory I Web printing machine, which has just been installed in cur printing works This week's I issue of the "Pioneer" in its new form has been printed upon the new macbine, which repre- sents the latest development in mechanism for newspaper printing. The new press is capable of printing and folding simultaneously 4, 8, and 12 page papers at speeds varying from 12,000 to 20,000 copies an hour. By the new process, printing on single sheets, which necessitated several operations before the paper was ready for sale, is discarded. As will be seen in the illustration, the paper is fed into the rear of the machine from two reels, each being over 5000 yards in length. If un- wound, the paper would stretch in one con- tinuous line from Llandndno Junction to Llan- dudno. dudno. To make a 12 page paper like the "Pioneer" the two reels operate together and pass be- tween the type cylinders. Each cylinder con- tains four pages, which are impressions taken in molten lead from 'he type and cast in cylinder form to fit the machine cylinders. After the sheets are printed they enter the fold- I ing mechanism. Here a circular knife moving with extraordinary rapidity cnts the main sheet into two, and the three sheets disappear be. tween two other cylinders, where they are again cut and thrown out folded at the rate of over 300 a minute. The machine is worked by a 25 horse-power electric motor supplied by the National Electric Construction Company, Ltd., through their North Wales representative, Mr D. 0. Evans, M.I.E.E., Bangor.

THE VALE OF CONWAY EISTEDDFOD, SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION. 12th MAY, 1906. EXAMINER'S REPORT. Twenty-nine candidates entered for this com- petition, and with a few exceptions they have done very creditable work. It afforded me much pleasure to notico the ease with which the can- didates expressed themselves in English com- position, and to find the papers eo free from irrelevant matter. A stiff test was purposely set in arithmetic in order to distinguish candi- dates of exceptional ability, consequently the resalts in this subject do not compare so t vourably as in other subjects. The papers in history, grammar and general knowledge wero very V-,cod, and the answers in general know- ledgo showed that the competitors did not con- fine themselves to the ordinary school text-book. From the subjoined tabulated results it will be noticed that the competition lies bewteen num- bers 1, 13, 19, and 20, and so keen is the contest between these four that it was necessary to read all their papers more than once in order to make sure that justice was done to them. After every possible care I find that they stand as follows :— No. 1 comes first with 144 marks outi of a possible ISO; No. ]9 oomes second with 142 marks out of a" possible 190; No. 13 coimea third with 139 marks out of a possible 190; No. 20 oomes fourth with 137 marks out of a possible 190. I therefore declare competitor No. 1 to be the winner of the scholarship of £ 15.—Humphrey Lewis, Llangollen. NAMES OF CANDIDATES.

TEACHING THEATRICALS TO COLWYN BAY SCHOLARS. THE MATTER BEFORE THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. STRONG DENOUNCEMENT BY MEMBERS. At the monthly meeting of the Colwvn Bay and Dxsf-rict education Authority, held on Wed- nesday at the Council Chambers, the Rev. John 3 ?n the c^air, the following letter was re^l from tho Cohwn and Colwvn Bay Free Church Council.— Co-incH Bay Frco Church LiiLi'lT 'r y?ilr K"ention to the fact f rIif'lh 'i J0" °J tbe Bay High r Graoe School have bton advertised to give, and have given theatrical performances and starre danemg.

Mr Hcpe said it was a respectable body of townspeople writmg who were against this "sort of tiling. There were parts in the letter with which he agreed and some with which he did not. Mr Bevan moved that the letter be sent on to the headmaster, and that he toe aske-a for a leport on the matter. NO TIME FOR SCRIPTURE. The Rev. Thos. Lloyd said the letter expressed ms own feelings He felt verv stronglv on it. He had been spoken to about' it People said they did not send their children to the school be t: aine-d from time to time to give theat- rical performances. It was a great hardship on certain of the parents, as some of their children wore cnosen to take special parts, which meant the provis-on of special dresses. Thev had no light to put parents in this position. It v.-as not a question for the masters, but for the authoritv. If Iw wanted children to take Scripture lessons hfd no time, as all their time was taken up with home lessons. Hours were fpent on Lragh. and naturally home lessons would have to suffer. The result was that ihev were paying č.t<:n for enoou-aging children to go on the stage. bkirt dancing was also taught, and the speaker quoted a case of a girl of 16—a bright, genial and humble girl-taking the part of a boy. Then there was another case of the trouble a family had with a child of their's much through the same thmg, the result of which was that the child had bevn completely spoilt. The school should be devoted to teaching the subiects that the c-1) Id,en were there to learn, and not to theatricals He (the speaker) was strongly in favou" of the letter. He cited another case of a working man who came, and stronglv com- plained to him. UNKIND AND UNCHARITABLE.

I VANITY FAIR. L, HEN OF THE DAY. I } < -From" Vanity Fair." LORD FITZMAURICE. ATtbougrh there are only a few years between Ihem, and in personal appearance a certain simi- larity, no two brothers are more the anti, of one another than the Marquess of La nee and his younger brother, Edmond George Petty Pitzmairrice, first Baroa Fitzmaurice. Whila the Marqneeg of Lansdowne has remained in politics true to the teaching of the great Whig party now practically merged with the Goneer- yativce under the name of Unionists Lord Fitz- mauriee has thrown in his lot with the extreme aDd advanced Radicals. Lord Fitzmaurie-e was educated at Eton. where, twing to foreign nurses and governeb&es, and a French mother, a daughter of Count de Fla- tianlt, he was Prince Consort's Prizeman in Modern Languages, lie went on to Trinity Col- lege, Cambridge, and at twenty-three was M.P. for Colne, for which place he sat till 1885. He became private secretary to Bob Lowe at the Home Office in '72. In '80 he was sent to the European Provinces of Turkey to reorganise them according to the Treaty of Berlin. He ivas Under-Secretary at the Foreign Office from '82 to '85. At the panting of the political ways he be- came a follower of Gladstone. Home Rule Lest him a seat for Deptford in 1892. but won him another for the CTicklade Division of Wilts in 1893, and again in the" Khaki election of 1900. On the formation of the present Government his appointment .as U-n,14ar-4Sec-retary for Foieign Aff sirs coincided with his elevation to a peerage ir. his own right. Te is a thinker, a philosopher, and somewhat I):' a dreamer. He has led a solitary and studious life; and alt,hcug,i he has not be-eu often brought before the public notice, yet his intimate friends, however much they may deplore his political opinions, have always bean aware that he has in him the makings of a man. The life of Lord Granville, which has lately appeared, proves his literary capacity. The book is not omly one of the meet notable additions lo the history of the nineteenth centaury, but it is most agreeably presented to the reader. lie is something of a connoisse-ur, and a trustee of the National Por- trait Gallery. His temper is hasty; .he does not underestimate his own ability. JEEU JUNIOR. JUDGMENT IN HARD CASE No. 1,518. Miss A should show neither enthusiasm nor tnnoyance. She is not justified in believing that Lord B cut her intentionally, though ap- pearances are against him. She may, of course, mcident.allv mention the fact that she bad seen him in the Park. but not as a reproof when he ipeaks to her. lie may not have recognised her. ♦ LAUGH AND GROW FAT. Are you a Euphagist ? Perhaps, like the im mortal M. Jourdain, of Moliere, you may hav< been one all your life-nd never knew it. Any. how, it is a question which is being bandied about at dinnoTg just now a good deal, and as very few people know what a Euphagist really is, it may be as well. to explain. Briefly, then, Euphagists e I e the modern exponents of the old adage, T.i-agh and grow fat." As a sect, or a race, or a cult, or whatever they may please to call them- selves, they refuse to take anything seriously at meal-times which is an entirely sound and philosophical theory. A learned German pro- fessor, of the namie of Einhorn, is the inventor or discoverer, or resuscitator of the idea, and his doctrine is summed up in the brief instruc- tion Bite everything twenty times, don't worry whilst eating, laugh at everythiia.and acquire sound health. After all, it is a tried truism that there is no digestive as efficacious as hearty laughter A solemn diner, especially if he dines often alone is almost invariably dyspeptic, whereas a bright cheery man or woman, who has a keen sense of humour, and sees the comic eide of most things, is rarely a sufferer from indigestion. "Even our digestion is governed by angels," said William Blake, the artist-poet, and (if you will but resist the trivial inclination to silbsiitute "bad angels") is there really any greater mystery than the process by which beef is turned into brains, and jam into beauty ? EPISCOPAL JESTS. One goo" est deserves another, and the Arch- bishop of anterbury in chaffing the Bishop of New York art the Pilgrims' Dinner the other Bight got a Roland for hie Oliver. For the Arch- bishop said that Dr. Potter's versatility was so grreat that he could not say whether on the mor- row he would be preaching in St. Paul's or going to the races. But in his reply Dr. Potter re- called the days when ho was staying with Arch- bishop Tait, and.when the present Primate was that astute Prelate's domestic chaplain, and he took his memory back to the moment when, after good <?inner at Lambeth Palace, Randall Davideon whispered to him that if he wanted a really good cigar he could give him one. --+- THE SPANISH MIRACLE. Now that people are all coining back from the panish marriage a good many details are com- out that did not get into the papers, which enable one to realise what an amazing escape the young King and Queen must have had. Queen Victoria's magnificent train, which had ben spread over the front seat of the State Coach, was cut to ribbons by the force of the plosion, and the collar of the Golden Fleeoe, "Which the King was wearing, was broken, and a Portion of the front of his uniform badly scorched. Of all the foreign Koyal personages Present at the wedding the Grand Duke Vladi- nlir was moet affected, which was perhaps Natural, considering that his father, tbcEtm- peror Alexander II., and his brother, the Urand DUke Serge, both perished at the hands of the Anarchists, and in precisely the same manner. 0 BRITAIN'S NAVAL KESOUECE. With characteristic good sense, Britannia has 80 J'lil the waves round Lundy Island that the salvage of the Montagu is now regarded as practicable. Letters from Lundy Island speak of the phenomenal efforts made by everyone to save the nation's property. The quick de- cision as to what course to pursue the day fol- lowing the wreck, and the alacrity with which the policy, once settled, was carried out, is signi- ficant 0" what will happen in war time. The disaster to the Montagu ia not without one re- lieving featirre, namely, that in faoe of a great naval calamity and against heavy odds, the fleet and the dockyards exhibit qualities that prove etern devotion to duty in many bygone years. It is doubtful whether the naval men of any other nation wculd have saved the Montagu, not be-cause they lacked skill or courage, but because their discipline is—well, theirs!
