POINTS IN MANAGEMENT OF PASTURES While any over-stocking is to be avoided, yet it is in all cases highly advisable that a pasture field should be sufficiently closely stocked with cows to ensure its being evenly grazed down. Nothing leads more quickly to a deterioration of the grazing than to stock pasture land too lightly, because in that case the cows—having more feed at their disposal than they can manage to consume—will seek out the sweeter por- tions, while leaving the courser and less tasty sorts untouched. The latter are thus left to go to seed -and increase at the ex- pense of the finer and better grasses. In their young stage, while the blades and stalks are yet juicy and tender, the coarser kinds of grass afford a sweet enough bite, and are readily eaten by the cows, pro- vided that the latter do not enjoy a super- abundance of feed as to be able to pick and choose. The aim must, therefore, be to have the whole of the pasture field grazed in a uniform manner, so that the coarse grasses as well as the fine ones are kept sufficiently eaten down to prevent them from getting too rank and old. Another reason ,more- over, why it is necessary to keep the pas- turage grazed down sufficiently is that it encourages the growth of new shoots. Fre- quently, however, it is not possible, despite sufficiently close stocking, to prevent very coarse tufts of grass-notably cocksfoot— from being left untouched by the cows. It is usually found that cattle will eat old coarse grass which they refuse to touch as it stands, after it has been cut and laid on the ground for a bit. Patches of rough grazing on a pasture, which are avoided by the cows, may be rendered more attractive to them by sprinkling some salt over the grass, and this expedient often proves suc- cessful in inducing them to eat it down.

TEAM HORSE MANAGEMENT. On some farms the practice is adopted of carting cut green forage for the team horses on to the field where they pass the night, when it does not afford much of a bite or has been previously grazed bare. This is a very suitable arrangement, not merely as regards the horses, but also be- cause the pasture field will benefit con- siderably from the consumption upon it of extraneous food, it being enriched thereby. The fact should be borne in mind that farm horses will derive much benefit from being turned into a field overnight during the summer, even although there is but lit- tle actual food growing upon it. The latter can be easily remedied by soiling them with cut green forage, either in the stable or else, as previously mentioned, in the field itself, according to which alternative is considered the more practical. These two practices—i.e., green-soiling the teams and turning them afield for the night—are fre- quently combined. But when there is an abundance of keep on their nightly pastur- age, there is, of course, no need to give them any cut green forage in addition. There is no reason to keep the horses in the stables on account of a little rain. When they are accustomed to lying out at night time, a few showers of rain do them .9 no harm. Only in really .et weather is it advisable that they should be kept in- doors.

ABORTION IN CATTLE. Writing under the above heading in the 'Agricultural Gazette," Mr W. H., Dunlop says NVhen a cow expels her foetus in or before the seventh month of pregnancy, the .animal is said to have aborted. There are two varieties:-(I) Accidental (2) contagious. Accidental abortion is caused by some physical injury, by the drinking of con- taminated water, by exposure to sever 1 weather, or possibly by the eating of 1 ergoted grasses. < Contagious abortion, on the other hand,

PREVETATIVES. The following steps should be taken in dealing with the disease. Inquiries should be conducted on every new animal before introducing it into the herd to see if it comes from any centre of infection. Newly-introduced animals should be isolated for some time, and the genital organs disinfected. On the occurrence of the disease the source of infection must be found has it been suddenly introduced from outside or does it occur in the herd periodically ? Abortion is frequently distributed by bulls. The genital organs should be thor- oughly disinfected before each service. All aborted cows should be fattened and sold, except, perhaps, pedigreed animals. After the third abortion cows become some- what immune, and it might be more economical to keep by pedigreed animals. The antiseptic treatment itself consists in spraying—with a continuous garden spray pump for instance—the hind-quarters of all cows in the herd three times per week. A suitable solution is: Izal 1 part (1 oz.), water 80 parts (4 pints). Immediately after a case of abortion the uterus of the animal should be washed out with a warm solution of the above. Similarly where a case has occurred, the walls must be washed down with izal and all litter and membranes burnt. On alternative days the gutters, etc., in the cowsheds should be washed down with izal, and the place kept as clean as possible.

SALT FOR DAIRY COWS. Many dairy farmers fail to realise how desirable it is that milch cows should be supplied with some salt, which is best done by placing a lump of rocksalt in their byres, so that they may lick it at will. Salt cannot be said to be absolutely essentials to dairy cows or other classes of cattle more often than not it is not sup- plied to them, and they can very well do without it, excepting in so far as they ob- tain it from their ordinary food. All foods contain a certain, if minute, proportion (the exact percentage varying in different kinds of food) of this ingredient (i.e., sodium chloride), and to this extent it is, needless to say, necessary for them. But while an extraneous supply of salt is not indispensa- ble to dairy cows, they are certainly all the better for it, as practical experience amply proves. It is a well-established fact that much benefit is derived by them from the consumption of a little salt. Its wholesome effects promote their general well-being and materially aid in keeping them in a thriv- ing condition, while its beneficial action tends indirectly to stimulate the secretion of milk. Cows, moreover, usually evince much fondness for salt, and greatly relish licking at a lump of rock salt at frequent intervals, which fact alone is sufficient proof that it agrees Avell with them. Considering the beneficent results which attend its consump- tion, the provision of some salt is a measure that cannot be too strongly advocated. Salt also proves a most useful condiment for the purpose of imparting a relish to fodder which is of an inferior order and deficient in palatability.

WET v. "DRY" MILKING. However many the claims may be that are continuously advocated on behalf of "Avet" milking, there can be little doubt that with the advance of scientific and prac- tical knowledge in the field of dairy work this obsolete method will become gradually displaced. It is almost impossible to produce a pure milk supply when strict attention is not given to absolute cleanliness in the funda- mental stages of milk production. A recent writer points out that wet" mliking is easiest to learn for lazy people," and this is no doubt why it has become popular in many districts; and yet for a "wet" milker who learns to milk dry" handed, the latter method is always preferred and ad- hered to. The cow's udder should be well wiped with a dry cloth before milking commences. Dirt or dung allowed to remain on the udder and teat is sure to drop into the milking pail, and during warm weather this hastens the bacterial development and contamina- tion, hence the keeping quality is lessened. Clean hands arc essential, and also a clean pail. The milker who works with a method will achieve the best results. The udder should be gradually emptied by milking the two teats one side and then the other, or diagonally. Strap pulling" is overcome by grasping the teats firmly close up to the udder, and keeping the hands in the same position all through the process of milking. A firm squeezing pressure down- wards is the best action, and speed comes by constant practise. Kind treatment and thoroughness in milking clean" are cer- tain traits of the skilled worker, and "no- thing is impossible to the willing mind." It is interesting to note that milk secretion takes place during the time of milking, and perhaps even this is a bountiful provision purposely designed by the Creator of all things, as the best milker will always secure the best results and obtain the largest amount of milk. Use develops capacity," and the alveoli" or cells of the milk glands secrete more and more of the lacteal fluid. The effect of speed" in drawing the milk will therefore be that of increased yield, whereas a bad milker who milks slowly and not cleanly" (does not draw all the milk away) will spoil the best ccrw in the herd, and she will gradually give less and less. Modern technical instruction in the art of milking cows is on the side of dry milking as being the cleanest, most hygienic, and sanitary, and in all well- regulated dairy herds this method is at- tended by the best results.

GIVE THE WIFE THE BEST. Farmers in Montgomeryshire generally are never deeply interested in the poultry flock, which they leave to the management of their wives or other womenkind. They might at least concern themselves to the extent of providing their wives with the most useful breeds here noted. HAMBURGHS. Hamburghs are in the front ranks of egg- producers, and are in general appearance ) much like the Leghorns. There are six varieties of Hamburghs: The golden-span- gled, silver-spangled, golden-pencilled, sil- ver pencilled, black, and white. They are all very pretty birds, and seldom fail to prove attractive and profitable to the aver- age breeder and fancier. Hamburghs are economical fowls to keep; besides being light eaters and great foragers, they are prolific layers and non-sitters. The only thing against them is the smallness of their eggs. They lay a pretty white-shelled egg, but smaller in size than those of the Leg- horn. There are some which lay larger eggs than others, and by careful selection from year to year of the birds which lay the largest eggs this defect may be remedied and the size of the eggs improved. The silver-sp:mgled Hamburgh is, per- haps, the most beautiful as well as the most popular variety of the Hamburghs. Their proud carriage, royal decoration, and grace- ful and symmetrical forms command atten- tion whenever seen. The feather markings of the pencilled varieties differ greatly from those of the spangled, the latter being commonly called "moon-eyed," from the round or oval ap- pearance of the spangles, while the mark- ings of the pencilled varieties are in parallel bars or reddish bay or black, or clear silvery white and black, as the case may be. WYANDOTTES. For general purposes the Wyandotte has proved a success, being of medium size, weighing on an average a pound less than the Plymouth Rock fowl, hardy of consti- tution, and prolific layers. They are easily cared for, and bear confinement well. For table purposes they are of superior worth their flesh is sweet, juicy, and tender, mak- ing excellent broilers and roasters. As lay- ers they are among the best, averaging from twelve to fourteen dozen a year, and as winter layers they do well under ordin- ary circumstances. The standard weight of cocks is 8! lb.; hens, 6! lb.; cockerels, 7 lb.; pullets, 5i lbs. 2 PLYMOUTH ROCKS. The Plymouth Rock has still to lose its great reputation as a general-purpose fowl. Its medium size, hardy growth, and good laying quality make it a practical fowl for the farm. They are hardy, mature early, and make excellent broiler from eight to twelve weeks old. They are good layer the year round, and in winter they lay excep- tionally well. Their eggs are brown in colour, and average eight to a pound. They are good sitters and excellent mothers. The standard weight of cocks is 9-i lbs.; 2 hens, 7-1. lb.; cockerels, 8 lb.; and pullets, 621 lb.

ANOTHER GREAT GIFT BY THE PLASDINAM FAMILY. An intense desire for educational advance- ment has prompted Mr. David Davies, M.P., to make another magnificent gift to Aber- ystwyth University College, of which he is junior president. Referring to the scheme for the erection of a men's hostel, and for increased provision for the normal students, Mr Davies says in a letter addressed to Principal Roberts:— It seems to me that the time has now arrived when the Council of the College, in conjunction with the county councils who are interested, should agree upon a definite scheme dealing with this important pro- blem of the training of normal students. In other parts of the country there appears to be at the present moment a disposition to treat this question in a narrow and ped- antic spir:t, with the object of divorcing the training of school teachers from the work of our University Colleges. This policy is, I venture b tl.ink, retrograde, and in the long run is bound to prove disastrous to the highest interest of education in our country. There is no need to emphasise the absolute importance of securing for our future sclool teachers the best training it is possible to give them. This result can only be achieved when there is the closest I connectioi. between the normal training de- partment md the activities of a Universitv College. I unde'stand that it is proposed in some quarters t( isolate the new training colleges and to setup semi-monastic institutions en- tirely seprate from, and unconnected with, the centre of higher education in Wales. It appears to me that this system is calcu- lated to rduce our future school teachers to one paricular type. It will tend to nar- row their utlook and to unfit them for the task of im>arting to their pupils education in the brodest sense. The Cuncil of the College has wisely determinedto provide every facility for the training of-iornial. students at Aberystwyth. At the preent moment they are confronted with the dty of providing a suitable hostel for the me students of the College. Resi- dential accmmodation has also to be pro- vided by th local authorities and the Board of Educatia for an additional number of normal stucnts. May I venture to suggest that these to proposals might be embodied in one scheie, which I outlined to you in a previous jtter. With a view of assisting in the pron)tion of this scheme I beg to submit the blowing offer on behalf of my mother, my sisters, and myself: We are prepared to rect and equip a college hall, together witl a. kitchen, stores, professors' common rocn, students' common room, lavatories, e,. We propose that the hall should conta l accommodation for fifty pro- fessors sitting tables on a dais at one end of the hall ad for 300 students sitting at tables in thsremainder. of the hall. We anticipate the the cost of such a hall will be approximauy £ 8,000. We found it necessary to attach the following condioris to our offer: "1. That tl College will undertake to provide a suiÜle site. "2. That thresidential accommodation to be provided ïdhe ordinary students of the college and thftormal students should be in the same builng. 3. That th college will undertake to provide. rcdcMial accommodation for at least one-thirf of the present number of ordinary studds, and that it will be made compulsory fothose students to be in resi- dence. "4. If at tli end of three years' experi- ence of such apstel it be found satisfactory and no financi loss be sustained, that the college will aee to enlarge the hostel so as to accomooe at least two-thirds of the students, and hat it be made compulsory for those studts to be in residence. "5. If at thned of six years' experience the system istill found to work satisfac- torily, that thcollege will further enlarge the building as to accommodate all the men stddents,hd that it be compulsory for all to be in rdence. 6,. That fr^Jjhe time the college hall is completed it made compulsory for all men students-o tiine in the hall. 7. That if tis offer be accepted it must not be allowe to make any difference to the total contentions as regards accommo- dation for nmal students to be made either by theounty authorities or by the Board of Edwtjon. "It will bejen from conditions 4 and 5 that the propals are contingent and are not likely toiubject the finances of the j College to anyxcessive strain. We believe that with pror administration the hostel would be renucrative, and the experience of the Women Hostel certainly encourages this expectati. "In concluai, I may point out that the provision at 'esent made for the social needs of the sflents is inadequate, and that a College HaLvould tend to unify the life of the College.d to promote a. better under- standing betwa the students and the staff. It would alsoerve as a meeting place for old students, d would in addition be uti- lised for largeatherings and functions con- nected with tlCollege. Further, I may add that when thEollege is equipped with resi- dential accomation for all students it will have followeOi the footsteps of the older universities, a the authorities will be able to exercise arffective supervision and dis- cipline over 1 students which under pre- sent conditions absolutely impossible."

"The Blish Juggernaut." In a letter dining the invitation of the Harlech Libe] Association to address that body with thdeAv to being nominated as Liberal candte for Merionethshire, the Rev R. Silyi-i)berts, C. M. minister, Fes- tiniog, says :— I have reved a number of requests from indivwupersoris in various parts of the county to ow my name to be put for- ward as Libe candidate for Merioneth- shire; and I ch apreciate the good feel- ing and appro of my friends.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. l Mr Herbert Samuel, M.P., recently ap- pointed Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancas- ter, was re-elected at the consequent by- election, the figures declared showing his majority to be 971. A picket of eight men on the Indian frontier has been overwhelmed by a gang chiefly composed of Khost outlaws, and seven killed. The raiders were subsequently repulsed with a loss of three killed. Five survivors of the crew of twenty-two of the wrecked Norwegian barque Errol have been landed at Sydney, the remainder having been drowned or perished from star- vation. The survivors suffered fearful hard- ships. It is considered probable that Mr Runci- man will withdraw the new regulation as to compulsory Bible teaching in training col- leges, on account of the strong opposition of the Nonconformist and Welsh Parliamentary parties. An insurance agent named Christie Hill, living in West Hartlepool apart from his wife, broke into the house where she was staying, and murdered her by cutting her throat. At night his body was picked up on the beach at Scalon Carew, the man having probably drowned himself. From the village of Arnold, near Notting- ham, comes news of a terrible tragedy, in- volving the death of a woman and her three children at the hands of an ex-soldier with whom the woman had been living for some years. He cut the throats of all four, and then his own, but not so severely, and he now lies in the hospital. There is a much brighter outlook in the disaffected coal mining areas in England and Wales, arrangements having in many cases already been made for the resumption of work. Rioting, however, continues in Staffordshire, and the police are scarcely able to deal with the unruly crowds. In Scotland the position is very discouraging and a general stoppage is most probable. 1 rince BueloAv had a farewell audience with the Kaiser on the occasion of his re- Prince Buelow had a farewell audience with the Kaiser on the occasion of his re- signation.

The hearing of the charge at Westminster Police Court against Madal Lal Dhingra, the young Indian engineering student, of mur- dering Sir William Curzon Hutt Wyllie and Dr Lalcaca at the Imperial Institute, termi- nated in his committal for trial at the Cen- tral Criminal Court. At the conclusion of the proceedings the prisoner made a long statement denying the right of any English court to arrest him or detain him in prison, and maintaining that he was acting patrioti- cally in killing an Englishman. Fifteen cases of stone-throwing, arising out of the recent suffragist raid on the r House of Commons were heard at Bow-street loice Court. In most of the cases a fine of F-5 was imposed, in addition to the amount of the damage, with the alternative of a month's imprisonment. The women all elected to go to gaol. Four other women were charged with obstructing the police in their endeavours to present a petition to Mr Asquith, and were ordered to pay a nne of £ 3 each, with the alternative of three weeks' imprisonment. Messrs Frank Lloyd and Sons are holding their July sales in he North Wales Repo4- tory, Wrexham, on Tuesday and Wednesday next. The first day's sale comprises 250 high class harness horses, hackneys, show horses, cobs, and ponies, forming a very fine selection and including entries from manv well-known exhibitors and breeders. On the second day 200 powerful town horses luiry, and vanners Avill be sold; these are nearly all direct from the breeders in Wales. TAA'O days trial is alloAved on all horses for Avork. Catalogues may be had from the Auctioneers. The recent sports of the neAV Chesterton C. C. were extremely successful. This popu- lar Cambridgeshire gathering is always a very enjoyable function, and attracts a large number of visitors from the surrounding districts. The feature of this year's sports was the draw for a Raleigh bicycle. Miss Mayor, Alderman W. P. Spalding, drew the ticket, and the fortunate winner quickly appeared to claim his prize. The Raleigh bicycle was won by Mr W. A. Simpson, postman, who will no doubt make ver good use of his new. machine. On the bi- cycle being handed to him he rode a trium- phal lap round the track.

A Schoolmistress's Loan. .£50 TOWARDS A TRACTION ENGINE. LLANIDLOES PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED Miss Olivia Octavia Hooper, one time Fchool- mistress at Llanidloes County Intermediate School and now at Derby, at Llanidloes County Court on Tuesday, sued Evan Morgan, engineer, for the return of £ 50 alleged to have been lent to him and his co-partner, David Breeze. The ca-e was heard before His Honour Jurlge William Evans, and the Registrar (Mr Autbur Davies). The claimant was represented by Mr Wm. George, whilst Mr Martin Woosnam appeared for Morgan! Judgment against the defendant had already been given for the sum of .£50 in the High Court, and now the defendant had brought Morgan into Court on a judgment summons. Mr Woosnam asked His Honour to adjourn the case, as the amount was a debt of money borrowed for partnership purposes by the partners Morgan and Breeze, and now only one of the partners had been sued and judgment obtained. The proper course for defendant would have been to join his partner as co-partner, but his partner had gone, and so he asked His Honour to first grant a dis- faolution of the partnership. Mr William George: The amount due waq £ 50, and my client lent the money to them as private individuals. His Honour Is it joint and several ? Mr Woosnam That is so, and I am asked to do the best I can for my client. Mr Morgan was sued and judgment obtained against him for this amount. His Honour: Mr Woosnam says that Morgan was simply a surety. Mr George: Judgment has been obtained against Morgan. His Honour: I don't see how the dissolution of partnership will affect you, Mr Woosnam. Mr Woosnam: Supposing an order is made against my client, what is his position? This money will have to bo taken into account in the partnership liabilities. It may be an insolvent partnership, for all I can say. It is a High Court action. His Honour: That is the more reason for getting the right law. 5 Mr George then subpoenaed Morgan in the Court, handing him the white slip. Evan Morgan, in the witness-box, in reply to Mr George said he was an engineer in the Cambrian Railways, getting 32.3. 6d. a week. He was mar- ried and had two children. In reply to Mr Woosnam, he said that he had to keep himself while at Newtown and that left him with only 25s. a week to keep his family. His partner, Breeze, had had the money from Miss Hooper, and he himself had never seen a cent of it. Mr Woosnam: I would ask your Honour to mSl. b" a small order. v n- n At a later stage Mr Woosnam made an applica- tion for the dissolution of the partnership between Evan Morgan and David Breeze. About the month of October, 1903, said Mr Woosnam, these two persons entered into partnership for the pur- pose of constructing a motor traction engine. The partnership continued for some time, but event- ually there was some disagreement between them. He did not think there would be difficulty about the matter now, as his friend Mr William George, who was appearing for Breeze, consented to the order of dissolution and a receiving order being made. There was only one thing he would like His Honour to do, and that would be to appoint Mr John Mills receiver, as he would be the person most Jikely to be able to sell the engine. His Honour A very good man for the purpose. The order for dissolution will be made, and Mr John Mills appointed receiver. Mr Woosnam: Of course the account will be presented to your Honour at the next Court.
