MONTGOMERY CHRISTMAS AUCTION.
MONTGOMERY CHRISTMAS AUCTION. A LOCAL BREEDER'S SUCCESS.—RECORDS BROKEN. There was a record show of stock at Messrs Messrs Morris, Marshall, and Poole's Christ- mas auction at Montgomery on Thursday week. Upwards of two hundred fat cattle were offered and there was an excellent clearance. The sale was the best the firm have ever had at Montgomery. Prices, owing to the recent p drop in the beef trade, were not all that could be wished, and the wet day also tended the wrong way, but taking everything into consid- eration, we are correct in saying that the sale exceeded expectations, and that the prices Showed a decided improvement on other local markets. It is a notable fact that Mr Arthur Vaughan, Court Calmore, who has ever since the Montgomery sales were established been a consistent supporter of them, and has brought forward some of the best stock at the auctions,

« — — Catarrhal Colds and Stubborn Coughs. Famous Girl Preachers cured by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. Mrs Storr, the well known evangelist, and mother of Frances and Rose Bradley Storr. the famous girl preachers, writing from 48, Abbott- street, Doncaster, says" My two girls were never free from a stubborn choking cough and Dasal catarrh. Frances had her tonsils cut, but the cough got chronic, and I was frightened of her going into consumption. I tried everything, but nothing did any good until I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure. I gave her the first dose one afternoon, and it immediately brought up the phlegm, and stopped the cough, and the same evening she preached to a crowded congregation. I am sending this testimonial voluntarily, solely for the benefit of other sufferers." Ask for Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, 9jd, ljli, and 2/9 of all chemists.
Dangerous Neglect in Newtown.
Dangerous Neglect in Newtown. There are many in Newtown who do not realise how serious it is to neg-ect pains in the loins and back, urinary troubles, gravel, puffiness in the ankles and under the eyes, and rheumatic twinges. These and other unmistakable symp- toms of kidney and bladder trouble are due to the kidneys failing to filter urinous poisons out of the blood. That is why kidney trouble is so serious, and why it so often ends fatally. An encouraging Newtown cure is given here. "I have suffered for several months with a severe pain in my back and loins, brought about by kidney complaint," says Mr W. Humphreys, ot 12, (Ladywell-strnet, Newtown. "I wias tired and listless, and work became bard to me. I tried several remedies without; avail. Then I saw an advertisement of Doan's backache kidney pills, and I decided to try the medicine I did so, and had the best results. Since taking Doan's pills I have got rid of the pains in my back, my energy has returned, and my general health is all that could be desired. I am very pleased to hear testimony to the efficacy of Doan's backache kidney pills, and shall certainly recom- mend them to others (Signed) William Hum- cl phreys." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all ch^mis** and stores, or post free direct from the Foster- McClellan Co, 8, Wells-street. Oxford-street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mr Humphreys had. ft

IThe Question of Health.
The Question of Health. The question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another, especially when Influenza is so prevalent as it is just now so it is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epi- demic catarrh or cold of an aggravating kind, to combat it whilst under its baneful influence, and particularly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of complaints. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is acknowl- edged by all who have given it a fair trial to be the most specific remedy dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a preparation skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purify- ing and enriching agents, suitable for the liver .digestion, and all those ailments re- quiring tonic strengthening and nerve in- creasing properties. It is invaluable for those suffering from colds, pneumonia, or any serious illness, or prostration caused by sleeplessness or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness and lassitude. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testimonials, which carefully read and consider well, then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d) at your nearest Chemist or Stores. But when purchasing see that the name Gwilym Evans is on the label, stamp, and bottle, for without which none are genuine.

PROLONGED CHURNING.
PROLONGED CHURNING. This difficulty is often caused by the want of a good dairy thermometer. These cost but a shilling each, and save many valuable hours, for by the use of them the exact degree of heat can be obtained. For winter churning this should be 60 tleg. Fahr. to 62 deg. Fahr., the latter tem- perature when winter is well advanced. When a churn is used, the cream should be well thinned down with cold water to the consistency of thin treacle. The usual proportion of water would vary from half a pint to a pint per quart of cream, according to the thickness of the cream. The pail of cream may then be placed in a can of warm water (130 deg. to 140 deg.), and well stirred with a spoon or Scotch hand until the heat is obtained.

Every Vote for a Tory is for the Lords and against yourselves.
[No title]
The bulb of the themometer only need be placed in the cream, so that the figures can be clearly seen by the worker. The churn should be prepared by scalding, and then cooling with water of the same degree as you intend to churn at. Over-filling the churn often prolongs the churning process. A churn should never be more than half full of cream. When "clotted" cream is churned in a churn, it should be well thinned down as .-tatcd above, otherwise this kind of cream will clog to the sides of the churn, and no butter will be obtained from it.

-----------------------------------FEEDING…
FEEDING DAIRY COWS IN WINTER. [n feeding all classes of stock, the farmer should try to produce as much of the feed as possible on his own farm. As the dairy cow does her best in the month of June, when on good pasture, we should take a lesson from this and give her as near these conditions in winter as possible, both in regard to feed and surroundings. In selecting winter feed, one should first select the coarse feeds, as they are usually the cheaper. It has been found by various tests that a cow that is giving good enough milk to make one pound of butter a day needs a daily ration of about 25lb. of dry matter. Now, as a cow's stomach is not large enough to hold all the feed she requires of the coarse fodders, it will be necessary to feed her some grain feed. Another important point in winter feeding is regularity, not only in regard to the feed- ing, but with all of the work with the cows. The feeder should watch and study his cows individually, and know what each one is doing at the pail, and also observe their likes and dislikes for the different kinds of feed. Give the cows a handful of salt every other day, or, better still, have a box where they can have access to it at all times. One other point is to allow the cattle to have all of the pure water they wish to drink. Do not compel them to drink from a tank that is half full of ice. If the feed is all dry, they should have all the water they want twice a day. Get them in the habit of drinking before they are fed their grain.
RURAL JOKES.
RURAL JOKES. A little chap was staying with an aunt in the country, and the village smithy was a great attraction for him. The musical sound of the blacksmith's hammer striking on the anvil was an altogether new experi- ence for the city boy. But the sight of seeing the blacksmith shoe a horse one day fascinated Johnnie. Auntie," he cried, when he had at length meandered back to his relative's abode again, H I saw the man that makes horses to-day." Did ye, Johnnie ?" said his aunt. Wooden horses ? No livin' horses, auntie," replied the city laddie. I looked in the man's house and saw him do it. He had one about made when: I looked in. He was just nailin' on its back feet! The two hopes of Britain, who had se- cured half-price tickets for the local dog show, looked very perplexed as they stood surveying the winner of a first prize. Their gaze was bent upon a fine specimen of the Skye terrier, which possessed such an abundance of hair as to give it more the appearance of a woollen hearthrug than a worthy member of the canine race. Which is 'is 'ead, Bill ?" queried the red-haired boy of his companion, after hav- ing made a critical examination. Blowed if I know!" replied the other. But I tell you what—I'll stick a pin into it, and you watch and see which end barks!" First Drover: How is it you no longer put up at the Crown when you drive to market ? Second Drover: Why, last winter, when I lodged there for the night, they made a fuss and gave me a big bottle to take to bed with me, and when I opened it, what do you think it was? Nothing but hot water!

Threatening a Council.
Threatening a Council. LLANDYSILIO HAULIER SAYS HE WILL GO TO LAW. At Forden Rural Council, on Wednesday, over which Mr Percival Hurlbutt presided, a threaten- ing letter from a Llandysilio haulier was read. Mr T. R Morgan, who is the haulier in question, said in his letter that he was surprised to find the Council had deducted 10s 3d from his account. He would send the receipt when the balance was forthcoming. He was sorry now that he had done the work for the Council, as he was out of pocket. If he did not receive the money by the end of the month he would take legal proceedings to recover it. The Chairman Then I am afraid we shall have to let him take legal proceedings. The Surveyor (Mr W. P. Hole) I have over- paid him, sir. It was for carting the bricks. Mr Edward Davies Was it by contract ? The Surveyor No. The weight of stuff was 7 tons 13 cwt., and the distance it had to be car- ried was about 4! miles. That would make 36s about the right money- There was a mistake, however, on the part of the one person, as the stone and bricks and pipes ought to be there together, and the whole thing done in one journey. But when they went for the pipes the bricks bad not turned up. go he had to go home the first day. I allowed him 15s for lost time. At the outside we should not have paid him more than X2. The Clark: The point is as to the value of the work in tons. Mr C. S Williams How many men and horees did he have ? The Surveyor He had no horses at all; he had an engine. Mr Davies I should like to know whether this man has any fixed charges? The Surveyor: By the ton he does his work, sir, We pay him the same as we pay for horse labour. Is per ton per mile is the outside. The Chairman Personally, I think our case is little bit weak. The Clerk It rests on the value of his work. The Chairman: I think we had better pay it this time. Mr Rogers: I think we ouht to fight him; I don't like the contents of his letter at all. The Clerk: It will be admitted what he has had the question is whether he has had enough. Mr Rogfra I think our Surveyor is the best judge of that. He is very fair in all he pays. The Chairman: You mus remember that when you go to law, common sense does not always come in. The Surveyor: As soon as you pay thit, you open the gate to a lot more, and you will have lots of other docked bills takeD up. I have no hesitation in saying I have overpaid him 10s. Mr EIwar is: Is 15s enough for a lost day for an engine and three men ? The Chairman Our main point, to my mind, is that no prica was agreed upon. The Clerk: The law on that point is clear. It is a question -is to wherA no price is agreed or I' what is the value of the work The Surveyor: Let him start first, and then we can see what he does. Mr Rogers We can pay the money into Court. The Surveyor: Yes; let's see what he does. I have another little charge, too.—Agreed.

Mr Williams' adduced some striking ex- amples of the benefits to be derived from co-operation among farmers in buying feed- ing materials, manures, etc., in disposing of their profits, and in arranging terms with insurance companies. Addresses were also given at the meetings by Mr R. S. Forbes, director of agriculture for Montgomeryshire. The meetings have been fairly well at- tended, and have provoked interesting and useful discussions.
