Dinner was served at the Carpenter's Arms," the Rev J Evans (Llangammaroh), presiding ovbr a large company. Following the loyal toaste given from the chair, the 11 Bishop, Clergy, and Ministers of all Dsnominations" was proposed by Mr T D Griffiths, coupled with the name of the Chairman, who suitably responded. Suocess to the Society was given by Mr B Davies, who paid a high tribute to the good work which it bad done daring its 22 years of existence, and spoke of the benefits which accrued therefrom not only to the farming fraternity but indirectly to the community at large. Farmers had witnessed a long period of depression in the past, but be thought they could, taking into consideration the present agricultural outlook, look with greater cheer- fulness and confidence to the fatare. They were now able to export what a few years ago they imported in large quantities. He pre- dicted a prosperous and brilliant career for agriculturists and felt certain that the plough would be in greater use than ever. In responding, Mr Jones, Tynewydd, (chair- man of tbe committee), remarked that the! society was in a satisfactory condition, and they were year after year doing their best to farther the interests of the tillers of the soil. Mr James Jones gave The Judges," three of whom, in responding, gave some valnable bints to the competitors. They characterised the work as being admirable from many stand- points, and in many instances they bad had great difficulty in arriving at tbeir decisions owing to the uniformly nigh standard of work. The health of the President was proposed by Mr Llewelyn Jones, Llwynpiod. They were exceedingly fortunate, be said, in having a gentleman of Col Holden's type in the neighbourhood. He took great interest, Dot only in the Agricultural welfare of the district, but also in the promotion octd fortheraoee ftf all work that aimed for^gobd and the better- ment of the labooriDfejBlasftes.1- > The health of the Stewards was proposed by Mr Sayce, and Mr Ll#wetjn Jocea reVoiadEk, Other toasts subiuitkeil^ware -those of thp Tradespeop'e of ;the District" by tbeJljyJ Evacs (Mr Rebartsk Builth, responding), and "Host and Hontesa "by Mr, Roberta.

'f WHY YOUR STOMACH HURTS. A Doctor's Common-Sense Adyice. Paiu in the stomach, variously called indi- gestion, dyspephiu, flatulence, heartburn, stomach-ache, kz., is nsually attributed to some unnatural, abnormal or (ii-easz,,d con- dition of the stomach itself. Nothiug, how- ever, could be further from the truth. Nine- teen times out of twenty the stomach is absolutely healthy and uormaf, the pain and discomfort bnng entirely doe to the acidity and fermentation of food which irritates and distends the stomach although if this con- dition is allowed to run 00, in time tbe constant irritation of the acid is likely to eat into the stomach walls and produce ulcers and some- times cancer of the stomach. Medicine is useless in such a case. The acid and fer- meuting food mnat be removed by a stomach pomp or an emetic, or you most neutralise the acid and stop the fermentation by taking balf- a-teaspoonfal of bisara&ed magnesia in a little water. This latter is hy far the simpler and safer method. Bisarated magnesia almost immediately neutralises the dangerous acid and by correcting the food contents enables even a tired, weak stomach to digest almost any food without any difficulty. Physicians advise that bisurated magnesia should be kept in every home, and a little taken after each meal whenever the slightest tendency to food fermentation is shown. Be sare to obtain bisurated magnesia, as other forms of magnesia are valuable as tooth and month washes, bat they do not give satisfactory results in Btomach disorders.

THE TREDEGAR ESTATE SALE. I' Fears of Local Anglers. Few persons have yet realised what a serious effect the sale of the Tredegar estate in BrecoDshire will have npon the county, and particularly in Brecon and district. It is not, perhaps, generally known that Lord Tredegar, following the example of the late Viscount Tredegar, has given the fishing rights of the Usk from Vennyfaoh dowo to the Lock, free of charge, to the Usk Board of Conservators, and this long stretch of water is available to anglers at a very modest fee. The privilege has been largely used for many years, and has meant the coming of many visitors to Brecon and the spending of a good deal of money here. When the property is sold, in the natural coarse the right of fishing will go with it, and anglers are generally afraid that an invaluable privilege will be lost. Even if the farms are acquired by the tenants, the oatlook is bad. The occupying owners might be willing and anxious to lease their fishing rights, bat it is understood the Conservators have no funds at their dis- posal to pay water rents, and it is questionable whether they would be willing to venture on a speculative transaction, depending npon higher fees to recoop their outlay. The charge now made for fishing (apart from licenses) from Vennyfach to a spot jast before Dinas is reached is 5a per annum, and for tbe whole stretch of the Usk down to the Lock it is only ii. This is a very nominal sum, considering the sport tbe river affords. In any event it is to be feared that Brecon will suffer a dimin- tion of visitors. Supposing the water seoured by the Conservators or a newfisbing associ- ation, the fee to the ghgler would have to be raised considenblyQnle88 the unexpected happened in the form of a copying of Lard Tredegar's generosity on the part of the new owners,—and it is the present cheapness of the sport, undoubtedly, that attracts so many people to Brecon.

:u National Provincial Bank of England, Limited. t Mr M 0 Fit! pre8iding at the annual meeting hpld io London, naid that a year ago -tbeyere looking forward to a continuaDclj- for Heme months, ati.&uy rate,—of the great activity of trade, to a scarcity of capital,and to bigb rates for" money. These expectations bad .no, beep,, di"ppoiated. In opre of the pro- tracted wac iu the near East and the civil wars in^Mfxico and Chioai, and the serious political position at home, the year 1913 bad been one of the most prosperous commercially that tbe coantry bad ever keown. All industries had shared io the activity profits bad been good, though Dot apt high as in 1912, in the shipping world especially, and wages bad been raised to the highest level recorded. In .the second balf of the year thfre bad been a sensible falling off, and this wns, perhaps, only to be expected, looking at the scarcity of capital which beoama very pronounced when the usual harvest demands of the world made themselves felt. Iudeed, this scarcity of capital bad been the dominant feature of thp money market of 1913, and was the effect of various causes, the chief no doubt being tbrea years of active trade and tLe consequent commercial deman Is and high prices. A farther canse was tha political situation on the Continent, leading as it did to the hoarding of money by individuals, and to the strengthening of tbeir gold reserves by the great Continental banks, and iq. a lees degree by British bankers. The Reicbsbank I and the Bank of France alone increased th-if gold holdings by no less than zC32,000,000, India also continued to hold gold holdings in increasing quantitvi as was disclosed by the fact that in 1912 13 tbe railways recaiv-^d payment in gold to the amount of upwards of 1:1,000 000, compared with £ 345.000 in 1910-11. Thiii country bad happiiy been less noder the influence of the Continental tension, and we had lent money as freely in 1913 as in thu two previous years. Turning to the business of the bank, the aooounts showed a staady, continued progress. The deposits had increased by about 9%000,000, and the high rates for money which had ruled throughout the year bad enabled them to earn larger profits. ODC again the pioture was marred by the farther depreciation in securities. There had been a I rapid recovery since the close of the year, and the bank's securities were now at sach a level that with the return of a more normal money market they should constitute an important addition to its reseiveS. With regard tg tb. fatare, the signs were not altogether iihiavoBc- able. There appeatel likely to be a strong demand for new capital throughout the year, and with savings accumulating less rapidly there shou!d be suffioient employment for the bank's funds at lower, though still (they might hope) fairly remonerative rates. The report -of the directors, which was unanimously adopted, stated that after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts, and for the rebate of discount on current billse the profit,including £ 91,81018a lOi brought forward,' amounted to X961,985 63 2J, which bad been appropriated as follow a: -Interim dividend of 9 per cent., subjact to dedqotion of Iacome Tax ( £ 15,760), paid in August last, £ 270,000 a further uividend of 9 per cent., subjaot to deduction of Income Tax (15,750), making 18 per cent. for the year, £ 270,000 provision for depreciation of investments, 9330,000 balance carried forward to 1914, £ 91,985(6J 2d. To provide for the depreciation in British Government and other securities, the directors, I in addition to the sum of £ 336,000 taken from the profits of the year, bad transferred £150,000 from the Reserve Fond. Consols now stood in the books at 71, and all other investments at or under market value. The balance sheet will be found in another colnmn.

Llanafan Ploughing Dinner. j The dinner following the Llanafan Plough- ing and Hedging Matches (reported in our last issue) was held in Newbridge-on-Wye Reading Room. The President (Mr Venables Llewelyn), in proposing "success to the Llanafan, Llysdinam and Llanfihangel Brynpabuan Ploughing and, Hedging Society," remarked that looking at the work that day his mind was carried back some eleven years to the time when the match was held in that district before. The winner in the local champion class that day was not a successful competitor eleven years ago, but by persetverance he had succeeded. He had no desire to comment upon the hedging, but he wished that prizes were offered for the best hedge two years after the work was done, when it had stood the best test of time. He believed that those Societies were doing a great deal of good, and he thought that now the various districts were properly covered, the time had arrived when they should discuss whether it was possible to make the Societies of still greater services. If his suggestion was worthy of their con- sideration, perhaps the matter could be discussed by the Farmers Union or by a joint meeting of delegates appointed by the various i committees. (Applause). He suggested that the various Societies should agree to certain rules and endeavour to find out whether it was possible to imke their competition even more valuable than they had been in the past. That was the 16th annual meeting in con- nection with that Society and they were pleased that it had grown so rapidly and was fast approaching its maturity. He wished I the Society every success. (Applause). Mr Thos. Jones (Secretary), in responding, remarked that they had had a little nest eg, but some years the geese did not lay well. (Laughter). He hoped the Society would be able to continue for many years to come to do gocd work in the district. ( A pplaijs*"). Captain T. G. Rawstorne g ive the health of the judges, speaking of the excellect way in which they had discharged their duties. Mr Edward Morson commented on the work of the champion ploughmen and declared it to be of a high standard. Mr S. JSvans gpoke of the ploughing as excellent and an improvement on last year's work. He considered the ground placed at ) the disposal of the committee as one of the best he had seen for years. Mr J. Meredith Jones, criticising upon the hedging, said some of the hedgers used too many stakes. He advocated 25 stakes to each length. Generally he congratulated the committee on the work of the day. Mr J. Jones said the hedging was a credit to the district, and some of the best he had ever seen. Mr E. Davies thanked Mr VelHlbfes Llewelyn and Mr David Davies for placing land and hedges at the disposal of the Com- mittee, and said both gentlemen had assisted the Society very much. Mr Venables Llewelyn said he was glad to welcome the Society to the district; it was also a pleasure to him to assist a Society of that kind if it was doing good. Mr David Davies (Wood Castle), said that when he was first asked to place his land at the disposal on the committee he bad to refuse, as he at that time was not in a position to promise that he could provide food for the competitors; but when the matter was men- tioned to Mr Venables Llewelyn, he kindly consented to provide food for the competitors. (Applause.) Mr Davies went on to popose a vote of thanks to Mr Venables Llewelyn for presiding. He felt that he could not find words which he could express his thanks to their president for what he was doing for that district. (Applause). They all knew what interest Mr Venables Llewelyn took in Agriculture and he did not know what they would do without him. Once that gentleman took anything in hand, they could depend that it would be brought to a successful issue, j and he was always ready to assist in any I movement that was for the benefit of agricul- ture. He was pressing on their collar whilst many of them were idlers, and he was sure they could not find anywhere a gentleman who took so much interest in the forming community. (Applause). Mr Venables Llewelyn, who had an enthusiastic reception, said it was a little over 21 years since he came to that neighbour- hood. He held it to be a duty of a landlord I to do what he could to assist his neighbours in every possible way. If h had done any- thing to assist them, it had been a pleasure I to him but he felt that it was only a begin- ning. (Loud Applause). He meant to go on, as he could not stop. (Laughter and ( Applause). As long as he was there it was his duty and pleasure to proceed with the work that he had been doing. If they had been able to achieved their object in improv- ing the stock of the district, he hoped they would not be satisfied. The work had only '^been commenced and he hoped that further improvements would be effected. (Applause). On the motion of Mr J. Hammonds the health of Capt. T. G. Rawstorne was drunk, and in responding Mr Rawstorne promised every help he could give to make the Society a success. Messrs D. M. Price and Isaac Thomas spoke in terms of high praise of the horses worked in the competition, which they regard- ed as a great credit to the district. During the evening songs were given by Mr I. Williams (Tymawr), Mr C. Phillips, Mr Parry (Llanafan), Mr Fred Lewis (Pont- yrithon), Mr S Mason, J. Hammonds and others. I

Will the Smaller Farmer Benefit ? I We have reached a stage in the history of the Live Stock Improvement grant when it is not unfair to make a few remarks from the small farmer point of view. At the outset one may say without any hesitation that the grant is insufficient, and that the scheme cannot be worked successfully in any district in Mid-Wales without the assistance of private individuals. Shire horse societies may be formed and bull clubs established and the grant secured, but to carry on this organisation the greater part of the money required will have to come out of the pockets of the farmers and others interested in the movement. This grant is very different to that made under the Agricultural Itating Act, which assisted every occupier of land. Tinder that Act the small farmer benefited like the larger one, in accordance with the amount of rates he paid, but only a section of the farming community is going to benefit from the live stock grant. Take for example any district in Mid-Wales where shire horse societies and bull clubs have been formed, and take it for granted that they all receive the grant. An executive committee is formed, I and it may consist of eight or more farmers, giving a fair representation to the small and large farmers residing in the district covered by such Society. The first difficulty the Committee will have to face will be as to the size of the horse to be hired as the small farmer is not in a position to rear heavy horses. As a rule the small farms are on the hillside, whilst the large farms, with their rich pastures, are to be found in the valleys. The committee is divided in opinion. The The larger farmer declares in favour of a horse 16.2 hands, whilst the smaller one appeals for a smaller horse for many reasons. First and one of the chief arguments set forth by the small farmer would be the fact that he would not be able to rear large horses on his farm owing to the poor soil nd the situation of his farm, therefore if a big horse is hired he is' unable to take any advantage of the grant given by the Government. The old saying is I If you breed at all breed from the very be3t," but] after all we ought not to lose sight of the fact that we should breed animals that we can rear on our, farms, as that is the only way to make farming pay. The Government has made a feeble start in the right direction, and is taking an inglorious incursion into a work which has been carried on in many districts of Mid- Wales for years past by private individuals.
