YEANING TROUBLES. In bad cases of lambing some sweet gruel and tonic medicine should be given. It is usually young ewes (theaves) that give the most trouble, as they do not always take readily to their lambs, and they are not as well able to bring up twin lambs as an older ewe, but they are coming on fast. A theave's twin may often be put with an old ewe having a single only, and if done imme- diately after the single is born, both will be readily taken to.

I ENGLISH WOOL. "Business is rather quieter, but the tone keeps exceedingly firm, and it is doubtless due to this firmness that transactions are reduced in number. Buyers are very care- ful not to exceed requirements, and directly they find a little check in business at once endeavour to purchase at less money. This attitude, however, has. very little effect on holders, who, as a rule, decline to accept less than they have recently been making, prefering to keep stocks until inquiry or de- mand again appears. j

FEED FOALS SPARINGLY. The great point in feeding foals is to give them small feeds which they can clear up, as there should always'be a clean manger at the next feeding time. Of course, until they are accustimed to dry food they will not clear up, hence the advantage of feed- ing some time previously. The remark as to small feeds applies to all horses, even draught ones, in work, and when these come in hungry a little long hay is better than a chaff and corn feed to start with. When a horse is out of sorts he should only be given a handful or two at once, and any Hot cleared up should be taken away.

SMALL HOLDERS SPECIAL COMMIS- SIONERS. Speaking at Slough, Lord Carrington des- cribed the progress so far made in bringing the Small Holdings Act into operation, and stated that, with the sanction and unanim- ous approval of the Cabinet, he proposed to appoint special Commissioners to devote themselves to looking after and helping those County Councils which had shown themselves to be in need of it in the appli- cation of the Act. Lord Canington an- nounced that Mr Frank Lloyd had deter- mined to offer prizes to the amount of £ 1,000 for the best cultivated small holdings in the counties of Buckingham, Berks, Cam- bridge, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Surrey.

AGRICULTURAL CO-OPERATION. It is stated that the outstanding feature of the work of the Agricultural Organisation Society during the past year was the readi- ness with which the 1907 Small Holdings Act had been taken up. Over 100 co-opera- tive small holders and allotment societies were formed within the year, with a mem-1 bership of something like 5,000. The large, as well as the small, farmer, it is found, is beginning to recognise the value of co-opera- tion, not only in the purchase of machinery and implements, but also in the sale of his produce. Consequently, the progress of the society has been marked. It has nearly 15,500 members, in 196 societies, with a turn- over of at least £ 750,000.

ROOTS OF CROPS. An important difference between crops lies in their range of roots. Deeply-rooted crops, as lucerne, sainfoin, red clover, rape and mangels, and among the cereals wheat and rye, are to a considerable extent eub-

In accordance with this we find that superphosphate is a very effective manure for the last-named crops, but is much less required by such crops as mangel or wheat. By growing], deeply-rooted crops as part of a rotation, the subsoil is made to contribute to the gen- eral fertility. Shallow root crops, on the other hand, have generally a special faculty for appropriating food accumulated at the surface, and are often of great use in this respect, as when barley is made to follow turnips ied off on the land.

FOR MONTGOMERYSHIRE LAND- OWNERS. Lord Rayleigh has intrdduced a system of profit-sharing on his farm at Ferling, Essex, which has proved very successful and beneficial to his employees. For sev- eral years past he has given his workpeople a bonus based on the year's profit, and shared out in the ratio of the wages paid. This year, in addition to the bonus, a divi- dend has been paid to all the workpeople who were in a position to accept his invita- tion to invest capital in the farms. Among the investors are several labourers, whose average wages are under £ 1 a week, who

SOIL EXHAUSTION. Writing in the 'Agricultural Gazette,' Mr John Wrightson says: Our view is different from that of the ancients as to soil exhaus- tion. They looked upon it as a sort of fa- tigue, requiring rest, or, as the Jews thought, a Sabbath. We have thrown this idea aside, for it is evident that root and green crops make greater demands upon the soil than even corn crops. We bring the land into high condition by ceaseless crop- ping, and liberal feeding. What the an- cients thought fatigue we now look upon merely as hunger, and we have learnt that, in order to grow successive crops, all. we have to do is to feed the soil. In some cases, it is true, land refuses to grow certain crops, if sown too frequently upon the same field, but these are few in number. The reasons why this should be the case are not very obvious, and are, in fact, not yet understood; but, so far as corn and most root and fodder crops are con- cerned, they do not interfere with their growth. If we take a broad view of soil ex- haustion it may be regarded as a condition brought about by insufficient nutrition, pre-

EARLY MATURITY. Mr William Bruce, speaking at Dalkeith on the subject of the feeding of cattle and sheep, said that one of the most striking features was early maturity. Animals were hurried at a much earlier age to the sham- bles than in bygone days, and there was no doubt but that the modern development, when skilfully pursued, was the more profit- able system. The young animals increased much more rapidly on a given quantity of food, and consequently was more profitable to the feeder who was skilful enough to han- dle it. There were twb reasons for this. The young animal laid on fiesh and fat at the same time, and turned to useful account more of the nutritious properties of its food, and its carcase contained a higher percent- age of water than the carcase of the older animal; in fact, water replaced fat, and the selling of water was generally a profitable business. Another reason why early ma- turity was more profitable was the prefer- ence for what a few years ago would have been regarded as "light weights." Heavy cattle, sheep, and pigs brought less money in the fat market than light ones, and it cost more to produce them.

LASTING EFFECT OF BASIC SLAG. It has always been understood that basic slag is a manure the effect of which is not quickly spent. If it is sown in autumn or very early spring its effect is amply visible during the following season, but it is still seen sometimes even more fully in after years. For this reason it has rightly gained favour as a "lasting" manure. This quality has been strikingly brought out in experi- ments recently carried out on poor hill pas- tures, the results being judged by grazing live stock on the experimental areas. In these trials, the experimenters report, on an average three or four years must elapse before sufficient return was obtained to pay for the slag, although the improvement started at once. On the other hand, the effect of the slag is by no means exhausted even after six years, but in the case of the majority of the experiments it is still giving as great, or nearly as great, returns as ever. Thus, it does not do to assume that basic slag does not answer on any land just be- cause little result may in some cases be seen in the first season. In the experiments referred to, basic slag gave by far the best results of the various dressings tried.

MONTGOMERY FAIR. Nearly 300 cattle passed through Messrs Morris, Marshall, and Poole's auction at this sale last week. There was a good de- mand for the fat cattle, which numbered 100, and every animal offered was sold. The top price was made by a bull sent by Mr Davies, Pentrenant (£28). Another sent by Mr Bright, Drewen, made £23. Fat bul- locks made up to £ 25; a bunch of twelve sent by Mr A. Ward, Woodmore, averaged £ 20. Other figures were:—Mr Williams, Mellington, F.20 5s; Mr Mitchell, Old Cas- tle, £ 20; Mr Morris, Gwernygoe, £ 20; Mr Jones, Rockley, S:20 15s; and Mr Jones, Great Weston, £21. Other sellers were Messrs Davies (Gwarthlow), Kilvert (Llwyn- obin), and D. Davies (Meadows). Cows and calves, which have become a prominent feature of tlle itucÙons, numberea-inmy, and they met with a brisk trade. The high- est figures were P.20 10s, made by Mr C.

There was a fair demand for stores, of which 150 were offered, and prices went up to E15 2s 6d for a splen- did bunch of ten bullocks sent by Mr T. E. Kinsey, Winsbury. Other vendors were:—

IS DRINK REQUIRED AT PLOUGHING KATCHES ? Mrs Jehu, wif( of the licensee of the King's Head Im, Meifod, applied to the Llanfyllin justice; on Tuesday for a license to sell intoxicants at Pontyscowryd on the occasion of the luilsfield Ploughing and Hedging Associaton's fixture there. The Clerk (MrT. Jones) handed a mem- orial to the Charman stating that it was unanimously resoved at a temperance meet- ing at Pentrebeirld to oppose the evil of selling intoxicants at the ploughing matches, and begging the magistrates not to grant the license. D.C.C. Williams said he strongly objected to the license. H understood the Associa- tion's committee iad not asked the appli- cant to obtain he license, and that he made the applicaton on his own account. An occasional licnse for the fixture was first granted by he Llanfair magistrates last year, and, unfrtunately, the police had a lot of trouble. He understood that the temperance party ere making tea and pro- viding refreshment: and they were prepared to hand over any profit they made to the Association. The Chairman (&■ Dugdale) asked if Mrs Jehu had anyone tere representing the As- sociation to suppoi her Mrs Jehu said tie had not, but added that the committeewere not opposed to it, and a number of nmbers said they would withdraw their SI)scriptions if the men could not have bee Mr David Pryce,Ceunant, a member of the Association's ommittee, said he ap- peared there to reresent the temperance party in the two Irishes in the Associa- tion's area to op)oe the application. He did so with the noe freedom because the licensee last year arl he derived no pecun- iary advantage frcn the license, and merely had it in the pulic interest. He had in various capacity attended ploughing matches, and ha stood exposed to the weather all day All only ordinary refresh- For Children's Ha(ing Cough at night, Woods' Great Ptpermmt Cure. 1/11,219. ments, and without suffering at all. The men who would do the work and the officials would be provided with refreshments, and the temperance party were providing sub- stantial refreshments for the public. In his opinion there was no need for alcoholic' beverages, and the Association's committee were in harmony with his views. The application was refused.

FARM POULTRY IN-BRED. There is no burking the fact that much of our farm poultry is too much in-bred. On many farms it will be found that new blood I is never introduced, males are never changed, but the same ones used year in and year out. This ought not to be. There is no more excuse for it than there is for a farmer using the same bull or boar continually as long as he lasts, and then following him with his in-bred son. The farm flock should be kept up by the introduction of new and: strong blood every year, by the purchase I of either new males or females. But even in doing this there should be method. Do not buy of one flock one year, from another the next, and so on. Try to maintain the same strain so as not to introduce too many disturbing influences. Buy from reliable breeders only, and do not jump from one to the other, or buy from every one whom you may for the moment fancy.

KEEPING POULTRY IN CONDITION. There is always a tendency among adult stock to commence laying on flesh too quick- ly during the early spring. This is partly owing to the fact that there are so many days when the weather is bad, and when the fowls consequently are able to procure very little exercise, and partly to the na- tural tendency of laying hens to become fat after having laid for some months. It; is important, however, to maintain the stock in a lean hard condition, for fat layers are very rarely satisfactory. For one thing, they produce fewer eggs, while a larger per- centage of the smaller supply is infertile. The hens should be examined, and if they' are found to be too fat their rations should; be immediately reduced both in quality and quantity. Exercise is an important factor j towards maintaining the fowls healthy and vigorous; in fact, it is not only important, it is absolutely essential. The plan of hav- ing a scratching shed attached to the house is an excellent one, as then no matter how inclement the weather may be, the hens have always a place where they can obtain exercise. The floor should be littered with straw or chaff, and the grain thrown there among, as this affords the necessary exercise in scratching about for food. A cabbage or half a mangel 'suspended from the roof to within a few feet of the ground gives the birds amusement as well as exercise.

One striking feature of the old-age pen- sions returns has been the great relative preponderance of Irish claims. In order to be satisfied that no irregularities have oc- curred on the other side of St. George's Channel, the Government have despatched i six Somerset House officials to investigate j the matter, though in view of the special j social and economic conditions pervailing inj Ireland theue is no reason to suppose that I the inquiry will reveal any serious neglect i on the part of the pension officers. ,.S-imersot hit*,n £ .sn«nH-ii3'» the fLot, criminal prosecution under the Old Age Pensions Act. John Pleass, belonging to a village near Taunton, filled in an appli- cation form representing that his income earned by carpentering was about 5s a week. It was alleged on behalf of the Commission- ers of Inland Revenue, however, that he oc- cupied a E30 house and two and three- quarters of orchard land, employed two men regularly in his business, received pay as organist, clerk, and cleaner at the parish church, and kept poultry, pigs, and a horse and trap. In fining the defendant £ 1, the Bench expressed the hope that applicants I for pensions would be extremely careful in future.

Parish Council applied in the first place to the Bucks County Council for a portion of a farm near the village, for the purpose of allotments. The County Council held a public inquiry, and ultimately refused the application. Then the Board of Agriculture was approached, and a Commissioner sent down to hold another inquiry, as a result of which an order has just been made for the compulsory hiring of about 30 acres of land under the Act of 1908.

have been able to invest sums varying from £5 to Z150. At the annual distribution last week 250 workpeople on the estate, from the steward to the ploughman, received either bonus or dividend, or both. A minimum dividend of 4 per cent. is guaranteed, what- ever the year's profits may be. This year it was considerably over 4 per cent.

if and when the land is too wet, it will pan the surface, and really, by excluding air, suffocate the plants which depend upon a shallow root system for their existence. If employed when the land is too hard, it will crush the life out of those tiny plantlets which are just starting life, and it will fur- ther do harm by putting an extra glaze on the surface, and so further excuding the at- mosphere. There is no better way of judg- ing when to use implements on grass land than by watching the worm-casts. If these break down pleasantly under the pressure of the foot, being neither messy nor hard, it is safe to send implements over the land.

when the project was initiated. The phrase "within a reasonable time" in the case of a young tenant without fiancee has been held by the Parish Council to cover a period of twelve months, but as a matter of fact in no case has such a long period elapsed be- tween the fentry of the tenant and his mar- riage. Within the past year ten marriages have taken place on the lands which Earl Carrington has let for small holdings in South Lincolnshire, new houses being occu- pied in all cases. Young tenants have also married at Burwell, Norfolk, on the Crown lands leased to Mr C. D. Rose, M.P., for small holdings.
