'iiiere is eontidcrabLe risk when anying from the yards of exbibitors-too jiaiiy eu" the wasters, irom. the exhibi- jian pens find their way into the utility pe,IIS. You must not loi>e siyht of the fact ih^ui thare is a tremendous difference be- fween the eoojiomic qualities of the hen (hex been bred solely for the ehow IØ1 and thehen that hao been bred to lay. ,vel-y ex h il)i[ioii hen do not suggest that every œhil.>iÜOll hen is a bad layer, but you cannot expect that k lowl bred only for show points can equal In. egg production the hea that is ^ascended fiom a long line 01 heavy pro- Juicers—the hen that in the oixiinary sourse of things will at least repeat the record of its parent or possibly oeat «6r, after all, this is what strain means, [it is the result of scientific breeding, i.e., trap-nesting, keeping a close record of the produce of each heai, the number laid in the year, the age at which .she commences faying, the months in which she lays, &c., then keeping for a future season only Fh'; progeny of those individuals with the heavies egg record. The capacity for egg production, like every other ciiaracteristtc, is hereditary. See to it tha.t you not only (elect a suitable breed, but that it is of gjidoataed laying strain. Then, and only Jhcu, c;.¡,n you be sam of success. FEE,DING. "Sow that we are" fixed up with a food, dry, weii-ventilated and comfortably, w.t,-se, a pen of likely layecs, and plenty pi enthusiasm, there is no reason why pleaty oi eggs si»uki not be iorthooniing, fciways providing tiiai due regard is paid io the feeding, tiood feeding will improve IL poor layer. Bad feeding wiil spoif the laeat record layer. Further, feediag is that part of the undertaking whei-e money is made-—or lost. Your pront will depend on how you feed. You can iced on expensive foods, which will take all the eggs laid to pay for, and you can feed on common grawe iines, which will leave you an ex- cellent margin. COST OF FEEDING. A question that we 4Lm often asked is, How much does it cost to feed aix hend? h is a question that opens up quite a lot ai others. What to ieed: How to feed? How to prepare the How much house waste can be utilised ? When to feed,f And there are & host of others. But AS to the cost. We will leave ontlhe extra advantage possessed by all honsehoklercs in a. greater or lesaer degree—table refuse, i The amount of solid food required by a hen varies aemrcl-in- to her breed, size, age. and laying capacity. Bat for the j purpose of our estimate, we will take the average, which is four ounces per day, or one and three-quarter pounds per weak. This amotnt will koep an average bird in good health and fnil lay all the year round. (The reader will, of course, under- stand that the handiul saved during the paoii-Itin-, period comas as an extrl% at- bit when the hen is in lull lay). Six herks will therefore consuxue 10t Ik-s. per week, at an average cost of 7^1 bs. of food per Kg. (the present fair market price). We find the cost is Is. 4-d., or 2Jd. per ltmvl per week, or. say, per year. We will assume that the novice succeeds in producing 140 egjrs from each during his first year, and that each eg-j is vt\lH<>oè at li(i- or 7 for 18. I do not think tb,1 eery* will lie sold cheaper than this price at any time next year. We will leave out if a count winter egg-" at Sd. ^oh. There is still a. credit balance of 8s. Gd. per head. From the foregoing figures it will be readily fpen that backyard poultry is a sound investnofimt, apart frwm the neces- sity that existe for the home production D1 eess. A GOOEY MENU. Below -we give a pro)d menu for laying I which should not cost more than ocr estimato:— I ilash Feed.—Scalded bran, 4 parts, 1 naadze meal. 2 parts; pea meal, 2 parts: eltarps, 1 part; meat (cooked), 1 part; green stuff (cooked), 2 parts. Grain Feed.-Wheai; or oats. or- Maeh Fr-pd.-Barley meal, 3 parts; middlings, 2 parts; pea meal, 1 part; fish meal, 1 part; well-cooked potato paringe, 3 parts. Grain Feed.—Oats. ( Mash Feed-Bran, 3 parti; 2 parts; maise meal, 1 part; house scraps, 3 pa rts. Grain Feed.-Who-.t. ÛT- K.ash reed.-Br-am, 2 parts; sharps, 3 parts; ba rley meal, 2 parts; Sussex ground oi's, 2 parts; fish meal, 1 part. Grain Feed.—Cracked maize, or a good mixture of maize, wheat, oats, and Dari. This list will be sufficient for the time. With it, it will be possible to give the necessary variety. It some future time it may be possible to deal at leagth with the food values of aac h meal and grain and their suitability for poultry; also a formula which will ¡ enable the novice to work up his own ibalanoed rations.

1 CHATS WITH THE CHILDREN,
CHATS WITH THE CHILDREN, About Anemones. j 1 (Special to the "Leader.") Yen will remember thai last week, in the course of our chat about crabs, some- thing w&s euid about a variety of the lioriiiit Crab winch makes its home in the folds of an antiixtone. That; 1i.1ùœ us up witi. the subject tiiat we will take to- day. No doubt, when you have bean climb- ing about the rocks, at hun bl and other parts oi oin7 beautiiui South Wales coasts, you have noticed on tLeiu, when the ride nas gcauo out, iimps of jeUy-libe subtjtan.ee of a rather reddish-orown colour, If you ^plash thstxse lumps with sea water-you n do it by swishing the water up with, your Jbaad or by pouxing it on iitrn a bucket—you wiil notioe that the iuiup begins to unfold. In a few mdnulica it will look as if it were growing up like a flowea-, and throwing out. finger-shaped I petals, as if it were a iiowar. And you .,ill notice also .that the blwipes and caloua.s lwwers differ conswembl-y in iiiape and in coLour-tuaxkingo. You will sae that they are all very btswitiiui, but if you begin to study tiiem it will take You a IWN time to l<?rji ail about them, no we must be content tvit? talking about a few of the chief characteristics of these lumps those anemones, which are amongst tha pa'ettiebt yhings we can and amongst the rocks, and which are some- I times called by poeLs the fiowexs of the aca/' in the first place, let us consider the question of variety. Lt you see a herd of horses or cows in a held, you may notice that whilst all may bo of the same variety their colour markings differ. But with ihe aneaaonee, the colour-markings, a-s well as the shapes, indicate different varieties. And I really cannot tell you how many different kinds of anemones there are. Quite 14 or 15 sorts are to be iound on the British ooasts. They belong to an. order knmrn to the scientists as -kutbozoa," a word made- up to describe animals that have a fleshy body but that are entirely without benes, scales, or aheils, or anything in the shape of a skeleton, or outer hard covering. And the word anemone is madB up of Greek words which mean wind flower." At first sight, probably, you will think I tha.t anemones are stationary creatures, that when one takes np ;it6 position on a piece of rock—when it is born-it has to ■stay there until it gets moved by some outside force or until it dies. That, how- ever is not the case, for the part of the body that is fixed on to the rock is also a foot, and the anemone is able to move about by just the same sort of motion as a slug or snail. The body is a sort of cofrimn (when it is extended) which contains the digestive and other organs, but there is room enough for the creature to draw itsslf outside in and hide all the fingers and feathers. It consists of an outside layer of rather leather-like skin and flesh. In some varieties the outside of this column is smooth; but in other varieties it bears a lot of wart-like protuberances which are able to catch hold of small pebbles, pieces of seaweed, for the purpose of dis- guising the ajiemone^s appearances. At the top of the column, when the creature is in its full war dress, there are a lot of fingere or tentacles. These are arranged all around the edge, and serve as fishing rod and net combined. When the 6ea water is fkrwing all around it, the anemone throws out these tentacles and catches little fishea and other ma-rine I creatures, even shrimp, and prawns, which are drawn into the orifice in the centre and which serves as the mouth. That is how the anemone feeds itself. But if you thiak of lkajidling one of the creatures you j must be caroful. The tentacles may look weak and fragile affairs, but they are armed with a lot of little points, so email that they can be seen only watli the aid of a powerful microscope. Each little point is a highly-developed organ. It is a stinger. When necessary, each point can be shot out, just as a wasp or bee would shoot out its stinger, and as the point is very sharp it can pierce roost living things that the anemone catches hold oi; and as each stinger is equipped with a squirt a ad a supply of poison, it can hurt any- thing it makes a mark on. The effect of the I-oiNoin on anything stung, especially the smaller inari&e creature^ is to paralyse and even destroy life. So that whilat the oncluc)ne is vory pretty to look at, it is aho rather dangerous thing to handle. Besides those on the tentacles, the anemone has other Kinging cells, eome situated on the column of the body, and ?hen the creature gets a.ngTy it uses these for as well as for killing its prey. ) The testacies are a guide to naturalists in deciding the question of variety. In th3 variety known as the Beadlet there is a row of bead-like warts -on the outer edge of the top, and the tentacles are rathar > long and thin. In the Dahlia Wartlet thd tentacles are short and thick; this is j one of the sorts that disguises itself with small pebbles. The Opelet has tentaicles so long that 'tbe animal cannot get the whole length of them inside when it shuts up." Sometimes they are aa much as six and seven inches long. Another characteristic of the Opelet is that it is a rvry hungry animal, and when kept in an aquarium will eat piccea of fish and meat thrown into the tank. The Gem Pimplet is a pretty little tiling; its tentacles are rather short, but the mark- ings and arrangement ore exceptionally pretty. The Gem is one of the easiest to keep in captivity so lant, as it is attended to properly with plenty of changes of ireem sea water. All the foregoing, and soaje others, are conspicuous for thfflTtentacl. There is another variety, found in deep water, known as Plumose. In this case, the upper portion of the cre&twe grows in folds or frills, which are edged with a very fine fring. Tha column is rather long, and has been likened to a small marble pillar with a basket of fems on top of it. The Plumose grows in wariou.? colours, pome of them almost puro white. The I Snake Locked Anemone is another tall one, with the column rather thin, and bearing dark streaks, whfftet the thin tentacles at the top are in a bunch, like a boy with long hair that has not been combed. In contra distinction to them are some tiny varieties, known as the Globe variety, in which the small tentacles end off with little balls. You will remember the ease of the Cloaklet anemone which is used by the Hermit crab, who lives inside the folds of its lwst. There is another anemou, known as the Parasite-—which reverses the operation. Instead of having a crab living within it, the Parasite fixes itself on the back of a whelk or crab, sometimes on a whelk shell that is a Hermit crab's home. I It is n.t a true parasite, as its habit seems I' to be designed merely for the purpose of getting about—in fact, the anemone uoas the animal it fixes itself to as a sort of tramcar. One other variety must be mentioned, because it differs so much from all the others. The Arrow Muzzlet looks some- thing like a small cucumber. It does not grow on to a rock, like the others do, but wriggles about in the sand. It was dis- covered by the T'ev. Charles Kingsley, at I Torb?y, in Dev<mahire. It is called the Arrow because its tentacles bear dark barbed markings like arrow-heads. There is a lot more that mi?ht 1)?? said about anemones, but I think this w.Li i. do i for one week. H. I
A SKEWEN CLUB._I - ---
A SKEWEN CLUB. I Failure to Supply Official I Returns. Thp unfortunate history of the Skewen I Working Men's ChID-a club which was stated to exist only as a legal fiction-led to interesting complications at Neath County Sessions oil Friday, when the club and its secretary, David T. Harries, Old- road, Skewen, were jointly summoned for failing to send the annual returns to the Registrar of Friendly Societies.—Mr. Wil- fred Day proopcufced, and Mr. Edward Powell defended. It wae pointed out by Mr. Day that not- withstanding shoals of correspondence, the secretary had negiectod to supply him with the statutory returns for 1914 a.nd HiLS. Ðy order of the court the club was struck off the register in 1912, and at the time the club had considerable assets and some liabilities. The fact that tha elub I vras struck off did not affect its registra- tion a.<; a. trieudly eociety. In the 1913 re- turn Harries stated that the assets of I the club were worth £ 107, and that the li^biliti es amounted to -XIOI. In a subse- quent Ifxfcter, Mr. Harries stated that no ¡ business transactions had taken, place, and the position remained the same. A TECHNICAL OFFENCE. I Mr. Powell pleaded guilty to-a technical I (iffenoG, and said that in September, 1912, 1 the dub was brought before the court, and I the magistrates, rightly or wrongly, de- cided tha-t it woA not a bona fide club but a drinking club, and struck it off t?? register. The premises ware retained, but the membership dwindled, ?nd '?M late Mi. George Deer, the owner of the pre- mises, seised the duh -,nd €??ct9 for rent. BOOKS IN CHAOTIC STATE. I The books and accounts of the club, continued Mr. Powell, were in a ohaoffcic state, and Mr. Vaughan Davws was ap- pointed to audit the books and prepare a. return. That was sent in 1913. For all practical purposes the club wa6 dead, and its members who were not also dead were in the Army or making munitions. It was therefore impossible to call the mem- bers together to wind up the club's affairs, and Harries would be only too glad to rev .sign his position as secretary of a club, which only exists by a legal fiction, if he oould find anyone who ooukl accept his resignation.. Harries was called, and said the club premises were now converted into an iron- monger's shop. Mr. Day: According to your 1913 return the club premises were valued at < £ 80, and cash in hand £ 26 M<s. Id. 1rha.t has be- come of that money ? Witness: I OOJlTIt say; the money was not in my possession. The landlord took over the premises, the furmtjire and skittle alley, because we failed to pay the rca Mr. Vaughan Davies, accountant, ex- plained that the books and accounts which hlil audited for the club in 1013 were un- fortunately mislaid in his office. Mr Day withdrew the summons against the club, and the secretary was fined YA. ANOTHER CLUB SUMMONED. The Loyal Abbot Lodge 1743 of the Inde- pendent Order of Oddfellows (Manchester UKrty). of the Hope and AnelLor. T?<M?h Abb?y, and the &ecretdry, J<?hn Phillips W i pi f red -road, Skewen, were summoned for a similar offeiice.—Mr. Day said the membership was 35, and £1 had been invegted.Idr. Edward Powt-it said Phil- lips had been engaged on munition work since the outbreak of war. The Bench fined the club .£1 and the secretary £ "1, and costs of three guineas! were awarded.
I MR. CHURCHILL ON THE I GREAT…
MR. CHURCHILL ON THE I GREAT WAR. It is now common knowledge that Mr. Winston Churchill has for some time past been devoting his energies to the tak of providing a eeries of articles on the Grmt V.'iar. The articles, which are four in number, have been grouped under the heading of The Four Chapters of the War/' They will be published in the Sunday Pic- toriaL/' in which journal Mr. Churchill's opening contribution will appear tc- morrow. It is characteristic of Mr. Churchill that he has, in choosing the Sunday ) Pretoria! as the mpditini for the expres- sion of his views, broken away from hide- houd traditions. In other daya it was tle habit of eminent statesmen who wished to communicate important matters to the public Press to see k the services of some dignified monthly or quarterly journal of meagre circulation, which never by chance reached the general public. Fragmentary, and often mislead- ing, quotations in the daily Press were all that ultimately filtered through into the pnblic mind. Mr. Wu?stou Churchill has made an end of flu's foolish tradiiion, and 11181 W!rd5 will reach millions of his fellow- countrymen on the four Sundays on which hi? articles will appear. Arrangements have beeit made for the I publication of Mr. Churchill's war articles I in America and other nentral countries. They will be cabled to Paris, Borne, and Petrograd, and indeed, across the length and breadth of ttie civilised world. ) Their reception in Berlin will be watched with interest. We understand that the trade demand for the Sunday Pictorial" has been) so remarkable that to-morrow's issue will constitute a numerical record in the whole I history of Sunday newspapers.

j STAGE AND ST.A LLS. j
j STAGE AND ST.A LLS. j — — • — — — Dram<1 wHI again hold sway at the j Grand Theatre, Swansea, next week, wh?r, "A Mill Girl's Wedding;" a new and original play of human interest by Her- bert Shelley, author of "The Laxs of Dingier Moor," will be presented. Claimed to be the merriest and brightest industrial play now touring, A 31ill Girl's Wed- cillig will be produced by the author and j i his specially selected company. Mill life provides an author with as much scope for a romantic love story as the muoic halls, though perhaps the cases where a mill girl marries her employer's ton are not so numerous as the matches between chorus girls and titled gentlemen. An interesting plot is developed in the four acts of the play, which keeps the interest at a high level throughout. In the dra- matis personte is a U knocker-up," a quite familiar character in the textile and cot- ton districts, and incidentally quite a lucrative occupation. Mr. Herbert Shelley will appear in the leading role of Pet-er A rncliffe, a weaver, and Miss Florence Eutter will take the part of Nannie Gray, a mill girl. An entirely new and revised edition of the successful revue, Excuse Me," is the chief attraction at the Swansea. Empire next week. Jimmie Leslie, one of the quaintest little comedians in variety, and Reg Bolton share the principal honours, while I iss Kitty Barlow, Miss Hilda Kirby, the Sisters Reeve (sistera of Ada Reeve), Fred Hastings, John Doran, and ot her excellent. artistes lend valu- 3,ble support, A strong chorus and special troupe of dancers support the cast, and an augmented orchestra render the many tuneful numbers composed especially for the revue by Herman Darewski. "ExcuSl" Me" has more of a plot—farcical in tvpo —than characterises most revues, arid in- j eludes, by arrangement, the best features of a revue recently running in London, j Hill, Cherry and Hill, on the earns pro-.i gramme, are an Amcricacn trio who intro- j duce some richgro-te-sque business into an amaaing cycling act. Frank Powell, i known as the pattering porter," is a comedian w ho makes himself at home with his audience in double short time, and is Ilnick [Cnd quaint in all he sings and does. Thorpe and Coe, presenting a now and original playlet, should appeal to Swansea audiences, whilst the -latest war films complete the bill. At the Castle Cinema, daring the early r>art of the week, the irresistible Victor Moore will appear in Chimmio Faddm out West, a Lasky comedy in four parts. This picture is the second of a series by this splendid comedian, and is funnier than the first. Mr. Victor Moore's humour- is of the dry natural order that by its .innocence of intent, secures hferty langh- r. In this subject his changes are illim- itable, and he scores accordingly. The scenes in the sleeping ear of a passenger train and the later adTeuture.s in Heath Valley with his faithful an-d wonderful ass are screams." Other pictures in- clude "The Escape of Broncho Billy," a fine western drama; Arcund the World," a clever comedy featuring George Ovey as an aviator; Johnny's Jumble (comedy), and the ever popular Pat he's Animated Gazette. The chief attraction for Thurs- day next is The Great Divide," a power- ful five-part Western^! ram a adapted from the celebrated work of William Vaughan Moody. There are some wonderful settings and scenic effects. The star picture for the Carlton Cinema on Monday next will be The Rugmaker's Daughter," by Julia C. Ivors, featuring Mjud Allen. With Maud Allen, the inter- national danseuse, in the leading role, patrons will have a fine opportunity of seeing her demonstrate her talent in the art of dancing, and yet the interest settles more cm her ability as an actress of charm and the romance of the picture. Again we have the inimitable Charlie Chaplin in one of his greatest successes, His Tryntinp Place," which will be shown during the whol e week; also a thrilling romance of the Mexican conflict by Thos. H. Ince, entitled Hearts and Swords," a Domino in two parls. For the week-end the top-liner will be ChM. De La Rue, crime investigator, On the Track of the Vo.mpires," the first of a new series of detective stories. The scenes are full of exciting- incidents and remarkable episodes?. On the Track of the Vam- pires is typical of the methods of French criminals. "The Girl of Lost Island (Episode 9, The Dreadful Pit "*f, featur- ing the beautiful I.illian T/Orraine, and Fathers Animated Gazette conclude an ex- ceptionally strong programme. The Theatre Royal has a strong attrac- tion for next Monday, Tuesday, ?nd Wednesday, in Still Waters," in which Marguerite Clark sustains the principal part. This is one of the Famous layers' Company's best films. The programm-e id, as usual, most varied, and one item dis- plays the ]a+e Lord Kitchener's visit to France. The popular serial, "The Diamond from the Sky," will he con- tinued, and there arc some exoollent comiœ. as well as the latest news. On Thursday the new prcg,-an)-mc, Burnt Wings" heads the list, featuring Eva Balfour. It is a- roost dramatic story and with the serial Greed," the films and numerous others items constitutes strong bill. Robert Warwick, who is certainly a great actor, and has been very popclar with the patrons of the Picture Horse appears in a very fine drama entitled The Face in the Moonlight," a beauri ful subject, dealing with the French Ravo- l^71- rhe great Vitagraph comedian, w alley Van, appears in a screaming two- part absurdity entitled Lov, Snow and Toe." The Diamond from the Sky," A Pic turned Romantic Novel," The Fox and the Pig," will also be shown. For the week end there are: The Ivorv Snuff Box, featuring Holbrook Blinn very strongly supported by Alma Beiwin "The Purification of Mnlfera," a two-act epi- sode in the Stingaroe series from the novel by E. W. Horning, creator of the famo-ns Raffles, which provide scenes which are delightfully humorous.
I WELSH STATUARY INI LONDON.
I WELSH STATUARY IN I LONDON. Lord Rhondda's gift of statuary to Cardiff City Hall is all view to-day (Fri- day) at the Grafton Galleries, London.
