CATTLE. Doncaster, Saturday.—The market was again of a holiday character, there being a very meagre offer all round and but few buyers present.

WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The two closing days of last year and the open- ing one of the present were cold and frosty, but a return of mildness has since occurred, and the long severe winter which was confidently predicted last autumn has yet to come. Of course there is still time for a good deal of inclemment weather, but having got into the new year without very much in the way of frost and snow it is palpable the winter cannot be of unusual duration, however severe it may yet prove to be. The year which has just closed was a remarkable one, being cold, sunless and cheerless over the greater part, but although wet and dripping, except in April and September, it was a period of deficient rainfall. The back end of the year, however, was favourable for farmwork, the dry September allowing the grain crops to be secured without serious injury, while the absence of continuous rain in October and November permitted autumn tillage and the sowing of winter crops under fairly favourable conditions. At present the appearahce of the autumn-sown crops is satisfactory, there being everywhere good strong growth without precocity while the pastures are covered with an abundance of nourishing herbage. AT WHAT AGE SHOULD COWS BE DISCARDED? Many dairymen and others who milk cows for profit believe that when a cow reaches the age of seven or eight her useful years are over, and that she should be replaced by one younger. But, other things being equal, this is a mistake. A cow that has been well cared for, with generous rations and

Ganwyd yn ef Lluestnewydd, amaethdy ar gwr uchaf plwyf Llanrhystyd, swydd Ceredigion. Aeth i'r America pan yn 18 mlwydd oed, adeg pan yr ymfudodd llu mawr o'r ardal hon amanau eraill o'r hen sir i'r wlad bono. Ym- sefydlodd yn Newark, 0., lie y bu fyw weddill ei oes.

Bu yr undeb hwn yn un bapus iawn yn mhob ystyr. Y ddwy ferch ydynt Mrs D. M. Jones a Mrs L. N. Evans, yn cartrefuyn Colum- bus, ac yn dilyn yn llwybrau eu tad mewn rhinwedd a gwasanaeth crefyddol. Mae iddo ddau frawd a wyddom yn fyw, J P Jones, Bala, Kansas, a David, yn agos i '.Pittsburg. Bu yr ymadawedig yn ddi- acon ffyddlawn am tua 35 o flynyddoedd, a phob amser yn ffyddlawn ac urddasol yn ei ddyled- swyddau. Y GYMDEITHAS AMAETHYDDOL.—" UN O'R TU ALLA" aysgrifena:—Ymddengys fod yr:ymdrech i sefydlu cymdeithas awaethyddol yn Llanrbystyd ar cylch, er gwellhau anifeiliaid corniog y wlad, wedi creu cryn lawn o ryw fath o fwrdfrydedd yn y lie, ac i mi fel un o'r tu allan, mae wedi rhoddi dydaoreb neillduol. Tra yr ydwyf yn cydfynd a'r mudiad o ran ei amcan yn gystal a cbanmol y cefnogwyr am eu hymdrechion, creaaf y buasai llwyddiant y symudiad wedi bod yn fwy pe byddai y cefnogwyr wedi taflu y mater ac ymddiried yn fwy ar y cyhoedd yn y dechreu, gan fod llawer o'r rhwystrau wedi cyfodi o'r cyfeiriad hwn. Eto, yn ddiau, credai cefnogwyr ffyddlawn y symudiad yn gystal ag eraill yn eu cynllun eu hunain. Eto, tra yn cydnabod hynyna yn erbyn y cefnogwyr, trueni fod ysbryd cenfigen a gwawd amaethwyr Llan- rbystyd wedi eu harwain i geisio drygu un or symudiadau goreu er eu lies, gan fod llawer o faterion y gallai cymdeithas fel hon ymdrin a hwynt er lies y tir—megis gwella ffeiriau y lie, rhoddi i fyny public weighing bridge; llosgi calch yn Graiglas, a llawer o betbau eraill. Edmygwn wroldeb cefnogwyr y symudiad yn gystal a deiliaid ystdd Carroar, ameu ffyddlondeb yn ngwyneb y fath anhawsderau yn mynu cael cymdeithas wedi eu sefydlu, ac ymddengys bydd y pedigree shorthorn bull wedi cyrhaedd yn fuan. Ac yn ddiau ym mhen dwy flynedd ca cefnogwyr y symudiad eu talu am eu llafur. Ymddengys fod y symudiad hwn wedi symbylu amryw amaethwyr yn y cylcb i benderfynu y mynant pedigree shorthorn bull, ar eu cyfrifoldeb eu hunain. Nid oes eisiau gwell, a dylasai amaetbwyr y cylch eu cefnogi gan ei fod yn anturiaeth arianol lied fawr.

Yr oedd yno tua 15.000 o bobl, ac yn eu plith yr oedd y Rbaglaw, Due and Duces Connaught, Arglwydd Kitchener, swyddogion lawer, a tbywys- ogion a phendefigion Indiaidd. Rhyddhawyd dros 16,000 o garcbarorion cyffredin er cof am yr am- gylchiad. Achosir cryn bryder yn y Deheudir gan yr an- nghydwelediad ynghylch pwnc y cyflogau rhwng y glowyr a'r meistriaid. Daeth yn bentymor ar hen beiriant rbagorol y Ilitbr-raddfa; ni fyn y gweith- wyr ei wasanaeth mwyach ar y dybiaeth fod y meistriaid yn derbyn ychwaneg o Ifafrau drwyddo na. hwy.

Dywedir i'r terfysg darddu o elyniaeth y brodorion at y Sultan oblegid ei duedd at ddi- wygiadau gwladol. Dyn ieuanc yw y Sultan, a chais ddwyn arferion gwareiddiad Ewrob i'rymher- odraeth. Cododd offeiriad o'r enw Bu Hamara,gan honi ei fod yn Mahdi. Cymer arno hefyd ei fod yn frawd hynaf y Sultan. Casglodd ato ei hun filoedd o drigolion penboeth.

Caed cryn drafferth mewn rbai lleoedd. Yn Scarborough er engraifft, ymos- odwyd ar yr heddgeidwaid tra yr oeddynt yn ceisio cymeryd milwr meddw i'r ddalfa. Anhawdd iawn oedd i'r diotwyr anghymedrol gymodi eu bunain i'r sefyllfa newydd ond rbaid fu iddynt. Symud- wyd llawer o wyr a gwragedd sydd wedi syrthio i grafangau y ddiod i sefydliadau pwrpasol i feddwon ymarferol. Yn yr ardal hon ceir cyfleu ami i roddi y Ddeddf :newydd mewn gweithrediad mewn lle- oedd fel Llandyssul a Llanybyther; ac mae lie i obeithio bellach y bydd cnydan y Fasnach yn Uai toreithiog yn Llys yr Ynadon tua Llanfihangel-ar- Arth-a llawer Llan arall. Gwylied y cyhoedd fod swyddogion y gyfraith yn ffyddlawn i'w dyled- swyddau, ac eu bod yn cael pob cefnogaeth i'w cy- flawnu yn ddiduedd a diofn.

TALIESIN. ENTERTAINMENT.—On New Year's Day, a most successful entertainment was held by the scholars of the Board School. The Chairman was the Rev J Roberts, who, in a few words, eulogised the work done by the Board Schools in the past, trusted that the new education authorities would carry on the work with the same success. The programme was a long and varied one. The items were Kazoo Band recitation by Mr Beecbey stump speech on Facts by Gwilym Pugh song and chorus, "Newspaper Boy"; song, "Three old maids"; solo and chorus, Yon must'nt farce entitled Surprise Visit"; solo by Lizzie Walker The Japanese Fan by the girls song and chorus, Urchins We" by the boys. The infant's share was the following song, Sulky Joe solo by Mary Roberts; recitation by Jennie Thomas song, Tramp, Tramp recitation, Little Soldiers," by three boys recitation by Annie Thomas t dialogue, Freddy Owen and Jennie Edwards song, Darling Dollie." The local Male Voice Party sang "Codwa Hwyl" and Comrade's song of Hope." The en- tertainment was a complete success. The proceeds are to be devoted towards prizes for regular attend- ance. Great praise is due to Mr and Miss Jones for their work in connection with the entertain- ment. Votes of thanks to the chairman and teachers concluded a successful meeting. The usual tea was given the children before the meeting. The expenses of which were defrayed by four members of the School Board. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

proper attention given to her comfort through all seasons of the year, is better and will make a more profitable return at eight years old than at any, earlier age in other words, she is in her prime and she will continue in this condition severa ] years, and will not be considered an old cow until 14 or 15 years have passed. Fariii and Home" A CLEVER DETECTION. In the bearing of a case at the Moot Hall Police- court, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Saturday, involving the theft from some stables of a auantitv of oat.s and hay, the constable stated that he observed near the stables the marks made by a horse and cart. One of the horse's feet had made an imperfect impression in the ground, only the indentation of trie toe being visible. He knew where an animal with such a defect was to be found, and, on going to the place where its owner lived, he found the stolen goods. The prisoners were convicted. ARGENTINE CATTLE. The restrictions on the importation of Argentine cattle will, it is expected, be withdrawn in a short time. The Argentine Government has passed the law with regard to disease in cattle which the British Board of Agriculture regarded as indis- pensable before opening the home ports to Argen- tine cattle. The law in the Argentine Republic is now practically the same as in this country, and therefore there will be no danger in admitting cattle from that country. Of course, like all other cattle from abroad, they must be slaughtered at the port of debarkation. It is believed that in some quarters the admission of Argentine cattle will be followed by a fall in the price of mejlt, but of this there seems to be some doubt. FARMING IN WALES. The past year has been by no means a bad one from an agricultural standpoint-in Wales at all events. Indeed, it is seldom that such unanimous satisfaction is shown or expressed in the results of a year's labours as in those of 1902 by farmers of every sort, from the small cottier to the occupier of many hundreds of acres. To be sure, there has been heard plenty of grumbling at the weather, but for once farmers are not responsible for only a very small proportion of it. As a matter of fact the small proportion of it. As a matter of fact the cool, moist spring, summer, and autumn favoured the growth of grass and of foliage crops of every description, replenishing the barns and stack-yards and filling the root stores to overflowing. The seasons of 1902, indeed, though unpleasant and trying to most folk, on account of the extraordinary lack of sunshine and the prevalence of north and easterly winds, 'have on the whole been such as well suited the breeders and feeders of live stock. There was none of the usual summer draught to burn up the herbage on the thin and shallow soils of the uplands, and, notwithstanding the Igeneral-ly wet and cloudy state of the weather, it cleared up sufficiently both at baytime and corn harvest to enable all but the most dilatory of the farmers to secure the bulk of their crops in good condition. Such crops, too, have not been harvested for many a year. Afterwards good growing weather con- tinued rieht on into December, when a sudden ) change of temperature to frost, with biting east winds, at length necessitated the housing of all but the strongest of the store cattle. This long grazing season has enabled stockowners to economise fodder to an almost unprecedented extent for the time of year, and in consequence the stores of hay, straw, and roots have seldom been larger-the great bulk of the foed having: scarcely been touched. In passing a lowland farm the other day our attention was attracted by the extraordinary number and size of the hayrteks crowded about the homestead, while much of the live stock was still grazing out in the fields, and apparently without detriment to their condition. In fact, it might have been oly October instead of December, judg- ing by the quantity and verdure of the grass and the thrifty appearance of the catde. Up to the first weeek in December this state of things was in a less or greater degree prevalent throughout the Principality, and as cattle and sheep breeding is the principal occupation of Welsh farmers they have every reason to feel satisfied with the past year and with their present and future prospects. The one' and only complaint we have heard—but it is a very serious one-is the scarcity and dearnesi of labour. Good farm bands are increasingb difficult to obtain, and very costly when found Ordinary hands get 3s a day, and young men t, live in the house as waggoners as much as £40 pe annum, besides their board.—" Farnt ond Home"
