She was familiarly known as Jeiii I throughout the country side. Site had been ailing for a long time, and had attained a great age. It was in the old i coach days, '=' and when farmers were going to and fro to the lime kilns that Jem first won her celebrity as a hostess. Her celebrated -No. 1 as she was wont to term her best ale brought "Ty Jem" into pro- minence and fame among all travellers who called at her house, and needless to state they were not few in those days; Lampeter on certain occasions supplying a fair quota, the house being, beyond the three mile limit. She took a deep interest in politics, and was all out-and-out Liberal, and a staunch supporter of the late Mr. Gladstone and lie would have to be a bold man indeed, who would dare traduce the fair name and fame of Gladstone ill" Jem s House, where the celebrated statesman s memory was kept green by a. chromo portrait 011 the kitchen wall. She was very popular, and few were better known and liked on the Llandovery road.

Lloyd- solicitoi-, applied for the renewal of the license of the Clarence Inn, New Court, held by Air. David Jones, which had been objected to by Chief Constable Williams on the ground that it was not re- quired, and also on the ground that the applicant was not a fit and proper person as he had been fined for being drunk 011 licensed premises. L. Lloyd said that at the last Petty Sessior.s :,c impressed upon them that the applicant rid !"C: best to ktvp the house in proper order. That he was convicted was admitted. It was the day of the election, and he could say from experi- ence, as he was at New Court that day, that he saw nothing wrong. It would be a great hardship if the. license was refused, and he did not wish to argue against the conten- tion that one house was sufficient for New Court, but he did not see why the police should insist upon the doing auay of this public house.—The Bench, in renewing tit" license, pointed out to the applicant that his offence had beei, to deprive him of his license, and warned him not to allow such a thing to oconr again, as licenses were only given to houses properly con- ducted.

Henry C'hiverton, Lax Lodge, a chaffeur to Colonel Davies-Evans, iiighmeud, deposed that on Saturday 3rd, inst lie saw the prisoner about 11.30 a.m. at Highmead. Pi isoner spoke to witness, and asked huu u Mr. Bertie Evans was at home. "Witness replied that he was not, and that he had gone away. Prisoner said that Air. Evans had seen him the day befo"c. at the Old Bank, Lampeter, whero he was mending chairs. Pritsouor told v. utiles* that Air. Evans had some chairs at Highmead for him to mend—three or four cane and about six- teen leather chairs. He sa-d that Air, Evans had given him Gs. to gvt material for repairing the chairs and if that was not enough he was to come to Highmead before 10 a.m. next morning, and Air. Evans would give him more money ir required. Theil prisoner said he could not get the material at Lampeter so he would have to send for it to Carmarthen, and it would cost 14s. 6d. Prisoner said he got -3s. for repairing the chairs at the Old Bank, Lampeter. 6s. which Air. Bertie Evans had given him and fie now required 4s. I)d. to ma; up the purchase. Witness understood that lie had been work- Lfig at the Old Bank, and .said it was there he saw Air. Evans. He said he wanted the money at once as lie wanted to complete the work before Friday as the family were re- turning from London that day. Prisoner asked him for the money as lie ii-aiited to send away by the next poet. Witness told him that he had no nio^c-y with him, and prisoner asked him if he y'0,dd write to Mr Jones, Old Bank for an order to say that he was working at Highmead. Mr. Jones, prisoner said, had told him that lie. could gi^e the order. Witness refused to give him an order as prisoner was not working there and Mr. Evans had not told witness anything about it. Witness aid he would borrow "the money, which he did. and hand- ed it over to him. Prisoner left. and said he would be at Highmead pt nine .o'clock on Monday morning to commence work. Wit- ness saw Mr. Bertie Evnns later that day, and from what he told witness he gave in- I formation to the police. Witness believed the prisoner's statement to be correct. The money he gave was a loan which he expected to recover from Mr. F.vaus.-—Prisoner ask- ed no questions.—Mr. Herbert Davies-Evans (j'inr), Highmead. said 3w ird seen the Tv-isarior on Wedn^sripy. 28th February, at Highmead.

He told him that lie had work of the sort for him, but as he was known to C'hiverton, the chaffeur, he gave him a shilling, some tea and bread and meat. Witness did not afterwards see him. He made 110 arrangements to repair chairs nor to meet him at Highmead at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. He did not give him (is. nor promised him any more if required.— Prisoner asked no questions.—P.C. Joseph Jones, 3, New Court said that in conse- I 't I -I qtieuce of information received on the 3rd inst from Mr. C'hiverton and Air. H. Danps- Evans, he made enquiries and traced the prisoner to Lampeter where he arrested him on a warrant. He charged him with obtain- ing 4s. 6d. by false pretences from Air. Clllverton at 11.30 a.m that morning at Highmead. Witness read the warrant and cautioned him, and in answer to the charge prisoner said "I am guilty."—The Bench intimated that they would not d^al sum- marily with the prisoner but would comnllt. him to the Quarter Sessions.—When asked if lie had anything to say prisoner handed in a written statement in which he fitated that lie was very sorry that this had happened, but he had not been in trouble for the last four years before he came to Llandovery last January. He admitted that he had a month there. He learnt his trade A- Itti Mr. Ben Evans, of Swansea, and was with him for two years and five months, and left him with a ojood character. He had been work- ing with him since, now and then, and he bad been in,- service with Mrs. Lewis, Stradev Castle, Llanelly for eighteen months. and left there also with a good character, but, unfortunately, they were with his sis- ter at Llanellv. He was very sorry this happened. He was in need of money at the time and Air. Evans promised him work as soon as Colonel Davies- Evans would come home and he wanted money to send for some cane. He hoped that they would look over it this time and give him one more chance. —Prisoner was offered hail, himself in £ 20, and two others of £ 10 each. As bail was not forthcoming prisoner was removed in cus- tody to await his trial at the next Quarter Sessions.

N E WCASTLE EM L 1:Y: Temperance.—On Tuesday evening the Emlvn Branch of the U.D.M.D. held their fortnightly meeting at Bethel Vestry. A cordial invitation had been extended to the members of the Alen's Temperance branch to join in the programme for the evening, the meeting Mas well-attended by members of both branches. The meeting was intro- duced by Miss Charlotte Evans, after which Airs. Harris read an excellent paper Oil Dyledswydcl Aelodau crefyddol i fod yn llwyp ymwrthodwyr," recitation, Only a Woman Drunk" by Miss Coram Rees.

Penbuarth Airs. Llovd, N. P. Bank presided over the meeting in her usual able manner. CARMARTHENSHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. The Carmarthenshire Conservative and rnionist Association held its annual meet- ing at Carmarthen, 011 Saturday, Colonel Lewes, Llysnewydd, presiding. Among those present were Sir James Williams^ Drummond, Bart., Edwinsford, lord- lieu- tenant of Carmarthenshire: Lieutenant- General Sir James Hills-Johnes, G.C.B., V.C., Judge Bishop, Colonel W. Gwynnc Hughes, and Air. Merry 11 Peel,, Danyrallt, the last-named being appointed chairman of the two divisions for the ensuing year. Mr. Peel said he regretted the resignation of Colonel Lewes, who had been the soc- iety's chairman for so many years. He had great satisfaction, however, in hearing that Colonel Lewes would still remain an active member of the society. A committee was deputed to inquire into the organisation of the association. CHURCH DEFENCE CAMPAIGN IX ST. DAVID S DIOCESE. At Cardigan 011 Saturday the Bishop of St. David's and Air. Goillrec1 held a private conference ot the clergy and laity of the rural deaneries of Sub-Aeron, Emlyn, and Kemaes at Cardigan. The attendance included almost the wllole of the clergy of the districts named, besides churchwardens aud others. The Bishop and others gave addresses, and the following resolution was passed:—" In view of the- public statement recently made by the Right Hon. D. Lloyd- George, Ai.iJ., President of the Board of Trade, that the number of dsh clergy who are in favour of the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the ancient British Church in Wales was increasing, we, the clergy of the two deaneries of Emlyn and Sub-Aeron, iu meeting assembled, protest most emphatically, as far as these two dean- eries are concerned, against the above state- ment, and, moreover, as far as our know- ledge of the clergy or Wales as a whole goes, we regard it as an erroneous and baseless assertion, and herewith we pledge ourselves to do our utmost to oppose and frustrate any measures that may be introduced into Parliament with the object of severing the vital connection which now exists between Church and State, and of plundering and alienating the righteous and sacr-ed endow- ments given by our pious ancestors for the sole purpose of maintaining God's Church in the land, inasmuch as we consider that any measure passed with such air ungodly aim would be nothing less than a national calamity, and a deadly blow to the religion of Christ, which was planted, and has ex- isted, in this realm in and since the days of the Apostles: and that a copy of this re- solution be forwarded to the Bishop of St. David's, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Prime Alinister, and the Right Hon. D. Lloyd-George, The meeting also en- thusiastically pledged itself to carry out the revised scheme of organisation of Church instruction in the diocese. This is the seventh conference of its kind which has been held in different parts of the Diocese of St. David's during the last three weeks, and there are two more conferences

Farmyard Manure. TREATMENT OF DUNG IN THE HOMESTEAD. Attention should be given to:- The Prevention of the Escape of Liquids, for these hold the larger and much more valuable part of the plant-food. These may drain into the ground if the floor of the yaid or uung-lieap be porous, therefore the surxace 011 uiiicli the masts rests must be water-ught. Aioie frequently, perhaps, they are aiiowea to run away in a sunace stream, and unless this can be led on to a meadow or otiier neid, tile loss may be verJ" serious, the iioor 01 the dungstead should not only be impervious to tne passage oi liquids, but it should, have a distinct elope Oacliwards, so that the lront is two or three ieet higher than the back. No doubt con- crete is the most satisfactory form of floor, but no great waste, it any, will take place through a loot of well-beaten clay overlaid by ruoble. Over-heating is productive of ioss in vari- ous directions, ihe heat that is always more or less associated with a mass of dung shows that actual burning is going on, and, in the process, nitrogen escapes into the air. The weight of organic matter is also reduced, and as part ot the value of farm- yard manure is due to its being a bulky or- ganic substance, it is undesirable to have this substance largely consumed in the dung-heap. During a winter's storage the loss 0 of weight will usually be about 0 20 to 30 per cent., but it may be double this, and when the loss is excessive the capacity of the mass to suck up and retain liquias is correspondingly reduced. Moderate de- composition cannot be avoided, and is not to be regretted, for if 110 loss has occurred by drainage, and but little by the air, the smaller mass will contain practically all the original plant-food, and this, too, in a more portable and convenient form. If for instance, [j tons have shrunk to 4 tons the value of the latter quantity should be as great as the former, so that if [j tons of fresh duns: are worth 15s.-I.e., 3s. per ton —4 tons of matured dung will still be worth 15s.—i.e., 3s. 9d. per ton. Over-heating is avoided by keeping the mass well compressed; and this is secured by the treading of animals—as in yards, courts, or boxes,—or by wheeling each barrow-load or cart-load over what was there before, or by loading on soil or rotten turf. The mass should also be kept saturated with moisture, and this is best secured by preventing the escape of liquids. With dung of a very dry character (horse manure), especially in a covered dungstead, it may be desirable to add water, but only if there is 110 chance of superfluous moisture escaping by drainage. If manure is stored in a compact, deep dungstead, with a properly constructed, deep and if care be taken to prevent its getting more water than falls directly 011 it in the form of rain or snow, there is no need to cover it in. Loss by excessive washing can be better prevented by other means than by erecting a roof over the mass. It is ob- vious that the advantages of a covered dung-heap will be greatest in a district of heavy rainfall, but 111 any case it is doubt- ful if it will pay to provide a roof for the dungstead unless it can be also used as a cattle-shed. Many farmers prevent loss due to escap- ing liquids by leading these directly on to the land, or by conducting them to a tank which is periodically emptied into a liqu' manure cart and distributed over the laii If the character and lie of the fields si such methods of treatment, they are eve.y way commendable, but local circui stances often make it difficult or impossil: to carry them out. Over-heating and excessive loss of weig are obviated by compression and saturatkr simply because the dung-heap under the conditions contains comparatively little a and ir is a necessity of fermentation ai decomposition. To bring raw manure into a rotten c< dition, farmers often turn it over one* twice, the result of which is that air p_ meates the whole mass, and great hear is developed, with corresponding loss of weight. No doubt there are circumstances where such treatment is expedient; but, consider- ing the cost of labour and the loss of ar- galiic matter, and, to some extent, of nitrogen, it is probable that the process is often performed when it would be better avoided. The familiar example of the slow combustion of a "backed" or "banked'' fire of coals is strictly comparable with what takes place in a well-packed mass of dung, while in both cases rapid combustion, with concurrent disappearance of solid material, will follow vigorous stirring. Equality of Composition throughout the whole mass should be secured as far as possible, or otherwise the best results both in the heap and on the crop will not be se- cured. The dung from the stable, cow byre, feeding byre, store byre, and piggeries lias, in each case, its own characteristics, and the mingling of all will produce, 011 the w hole, better material than having the horse dung in one part, the cattle dung in another, and the pig dung in a third. The wet, inert, cold character of byre dung will add moisture to the stable dung and prevent its being over-hearted fire-fanged it is In sometimes calhd), while the rich manure from the feeding boxes will improve the quality of the dung of the store cattle. Conservation Agents. From time to time attention has been directed to the pi-ek-eiit loii of loss in manure heaps through adding gypsum, super phos- phate of lime, kamit, or sulphuric acid. On the whole, it cannot bo said that any of these has much effect. The admixture of soil with dung, however, is always to be recommended, provided such material can be obtained at little expense for labour. lo give the best results, the soil so em- ployed must be of a loamy character, and, if possible, rich in organic matter. It effects are to fix ammonia, to encourage the forma- tion of nitrates, to assist in consolidating the mass, and to suck up and retain liquids. Needless to say, soil so employed must not contain the seeds of troublesome weeds or the germs of plant-diseases, such as finger- and-toe. AIoss litter or peat is also an ex- cellent fixer of ammonia and absorbent of liquids, and, if for nothing else than to im- c prove the manure heap, it is a. good plan to have a little in use for some of the live- stock. Such peatv manure, unless it is being used in a yard, should daily he spread in the dungstead, and the quality of the resulting mass will bo thereby appreciably improved. Treatment of Dung in the Field. To save carting in spring, or to empty the dungstead or the yards, .it is a usual prac- tice, in the course of the winter, to form large field storage heaps. Doubtless, in most cases, this practice is thoroughly justifiable, though the fact cannot be overlooked that the opportunities for loss in such heaps are much greater than in a proper dungstead, so that the field heaps should only be formed if they are the means of gaining an import- ant end. Where these heans must be form- ed they should be placed on firm, level ground, and they should be made as deep and firm as possible. The so-called "draw heaps," on to which each cart-load is drawn, thereby consolidating the mass, are the best. Subsequently the sides are trimmed up, and the whole should be covered with 11 layer of soil or ashes about a foot thick. Such a covering consolidates the mass, pre- vents to some extent ammonia rising into the I off- rain water. C> When dung comes to be spread on the land, it should be distributed as equally as I possible. Sometimes, unfortunately, one sees great lack of care in this respect. In some districts dung is roughly spread straight from the cart, the finishing touches being subsequently given. In other districts, and more frequently. :t is l-iid down in small heaps about six yards apart. If it is im- mediately spread. no objection can be taken to the system, though it may be said tll 'it if the dung is very old, and especially if its is largely made from moss litter, the spots on which the heaps rest are apt to be left over-manured, and especially is this the case on rough meadovs. Too often 011 a sees these small heaps lying for days, and even for weeks, unspread. with the result that the rain washes "th", goodness" from the dung into ("he matches on which the heaps rest. These patches are consequently over- manured. whereas the rest of the field, being supplied Impoverished dung, suffers 1 f." -• ] TTifh fo,v] rnf?we, even, more thav with artiifc"d-v the farmer should so a L-- i'diige iiu.t, iiio qu.u.lity o- dviug at his disposal is distributed over as large an area as is consistent with practical conveni- ence. For instance, twenty tons of dung spread equally un two acres will give a much better return than the same quantity spread on one acre, and yet this rule is ot te Il neglected. As regards the time of year when dung should be applied, much depends on the circumstances of the particular case. By far the greater quantity of dung goes on to meadows and green crops, and it may be 's I said that in tho former case autumn or early winter is the best time to make the application. The complete stocking of the ground with plants obviates much loss of soluable matters by washing. On farms en- tirely under grass there is 110 choice but to employ the clung Oil meadows or pastures, and on such farms it would be bad practice not to cart out all available dung in autumn. Of course, the dungstead will again fill up during winter, and on the whole it is pro- bably better to distribute this additional supply in spring than to leave it in the heap. subject to waste and yielding .no return, till the following autumn. Late spring dress- ings, however, unless the dung is very short "—e.g., dung made with moss litter —interfere with the work of the mowing- machine, though this can be avoided by chain harrowing and raking the roughness off two or three months after dressing. In the case of green crops part of the dung may with advantage be ploughed in during autumn, but only on clean strong lanff in a dry district. But if foul and especially strong land has to be cleaned in spring it. will be found that autumn dung, by holding moisture, retards the getting of the land into condition in spring. In any case the work of the cultivator brings much of the dung to the surface, and this, being collect- ed with the weeds, is carted off the land again, or- possibly wasted by burning. Farm- yard manure ploughed in during autumn will decay more rapidly—and especially so in a mild winter—than if left in the dung- heap. so that a relatively larger proportion will be available for the use of the first crop. But just 011 this account the succeeding crops will not get so much benefit, and this fact has to be borne in mind in estimating the respective advantages of autumn and spring dressings. —Board of Agriculture Leaflet. -O

LL4NILAH. Water Supply.—The second meeting to consider the above having proved a failure owing to the sparse attendance of the vil- lagers immediately concerned a pressing in- vitation was sent out calling another meet- ing for Saturday evening last to finally decide what is to be done." There was a fair attendance although some persons who would naturally be expected to be leaders in all matters appertaining to the welfare of the place were conspicuous by their absence from this as well as the former meetings. It would be well for such persons to care- fully read the following extract of a report of the Sanitary Inspector:—" The big tank which is situated in the woods under Pen- garreg Field I found in a filthy state, and no proper means of cleaning out same. The separating chamber also, I found entirely out of order and a free access for rats, rabbits, and frogs to enter same, which, I daresay has good many of same in a rotten condi- tion —Air. John Edwards was voted to the chair. The first business waa to receive the report of the Water Committee (Alessrs Edward Lloyd, E. E. Hughes and J. J. Mor- ris) which was to the effect that they thought the recommendations of the Inspector to be too great a job to be undertaken by the village owing to the fact that new drains would have to be made from the springs to .1 led he he iis 19' ng iat or by of I: 11- w ,.nei: ed tank into village new line of pipes; (5) Proper lyire protection upon all overflow- pipes which come out to surface. In addition to above to thoroughly clean out tanks. This being carried, the members of the Water Committee resigned in a body, and no one having been named to fill the vacancy the matter was left in its present state, so that until the "powers that be" will step in and prevent same, the villagers will have to use the water coming from a tank which, according to report, possibly contains rats, rabbits, and frogs in a rotten condition." Should a serious outbreak of fever visit the village who would be. re- sponsible ?

"llelplcss as a Babe." A LANDLADY UFIUD OF RHEUAIATISAI BY BILE BEANS. A West Herts Post representative has recently investigated a most remarkable cury of chronic rheumatism by Bile Beans. Airs. Jane Blanchard, wife of the landlord of the "Swan Inn," Bushey, said:- For years I suffered from rheumatism. The whole of my body was sometimes affect- ed. but my arms, shoulders, and back were particularly painful. I could not lift my hands up, not even to do my hair, and for some time I was unable to dress myself. I was as helpless as a new-born babe. During the daytime the pains were frightful, but at night they were worse, and I did not know what it was to get a good night's sleep; I simply had fitful dofcings. I scarcely knew how I got, out of bed in a morning, for I could not beai- to have my shoulders touched. All this suffering wore me down, and I began to look like a walking ghost. My neighbours said they never ex- pected me to recover. I was medically at- tended by a local doctor, who told me lie could do no permanent good. "A week or two after commencing with Bile Beans I began to improve. The use returned to my limbs, and I experienced great relief from the pains. I continued with the Beans, as I had received much en- couragement. ,i-itd I am now thankful to say that I am perfectly well again. The doctor saw me recently and told me mine was a wonderful recovery. I attributed my cure solely to Bile Beans, and I am extremely gfateful for what they have done." B le Beans cured Mrs. Blanchard by ex- pelling the poisonous acid which had accumu- lated 111 her blood. If you are troubled with rheumatism, Bile Beans will do as much for you as they accomplished for Airs. Blanchard, and for thousands more. Bile Beans are Nature's rarest remedy, and cannot fail to remove all obstructions from your stomach, liver, and bowels. Bile Beans convert your food into pure, rich, warm blood, and keep all the functions of your body in perfect working order. Sold by all chemists, in sealed boxes, at 1/11, or 2/9 for largo family size (2/9 size contains three ns times as many beans as the l/H size).

St. Dcgmeil's battery. A fortnight next Saturday drilling will cease at the Battery, and the men will be disbanded.—111 the Louse of Lords last "Wednesday, Viscount Gosclien desired further information with regard to the policy of the Admiralty, and Lord T'weedmouth replying said: The object of the Admiralty with regard to the Royal Naval Reserve had been to secure the greatest amount of efficiency at the lowest possible cost. The old-fashioned method of training was to have scattered all round the coast a number of batteries, many of which were nrovided with ahsolt,te guns and equipped with a, very small numbtr of men. Theie were also nine drill shecls.-The late Board of Admiralty thought it would be far better to have the Reserve men thoroughly trained under modern conditions than to allow them to be trained in this indifferent way at very con- siderable expense. The redistribution of the Fleet lent itself to the new arrange- ment, for on account oe the new Reserve Fleet, with nucleus crows, the Admiralty were provided with suitable vessels round the coast, always ready to receive Royal Naval Reserve men for training.—It was accordingly arranged that if the Royal Naval Reserve men now under engagement did not like to go to spp. they should fulfil the remaining years of tli-ii- engagement in hatter.es or training-ships conveniently i placed round the roast.—What the Board wanted was to encourage them to come to their training on board those vessels. fo'- under this arrangement the Royal Naval Reserve man would have an opportunity of practising his trade under conditions such as he would undergo in time of war. In that way we should obtain a much more usnful body of men. 1 roni the point of tie w oi money, the man under the new ser- vice lost Is. 8d. on the training; but in- stead of keeping himself and finding his own lodging, he was now found both board and lodging, and therefore cout. better from a pecuniary point of view than under the old system. The Admiralty had consider- ably increased the Royal Fleet Reserve. There had been a little fallin- off in the Royal Naval Reserve, but tho total of the two Reserves was fully as large as formerly, and it was believed that the men they <?ot 111 the Royal Flpef Resev-t-o r.-rudd be ■e>r- two Reserves was fully as large as formerly, and it was believed that the men they <?ot 111 the Royal Flpef Resev-t-o r.-rudd be ■e>r- rremely useful.
