Poultry and Egg tndustry -0- FIRST "EGG TRAIN" AT LLANELLY. The South Wales demonstration egg train sbu.ied its novel campaign through the coun- ties of Carmarthen, Cardigan and Pembroke oTi Friday. The visit to Lig,nelly, where the 'campaign commenced, was looked forward to w'i.t'h unbounded interest by those interested 'iTi scientific methods of poultry rearing, and a good crowd assembled at the station. The ¡ Agricultural Organisa.tioh Society (Limited), and the National Poultry Organisation Society CLimited) are the organisers. 1 After the arrival of the train the public he- sieged the car, and explanations and demon- strations were given of the implements of. the 'industry which were on view. Expert advice was also given, reference being made to the advantage of co-operation in order to improve the status of the small farmer. In the ,even- ing a .public meeting was held at the Step- ney Arms Hotel, Mr. G. F. Blake presiding. Mr Walter Williams, 'Welsh organiser of the A.O.S., said that Wales purchased every year .81,200,000 worth of eggs, and it was contended that the Welsh farmers could keep .E600,000 of this money in tin country. Mr. Verney Carter, organising secretary of the National Society, said the poultry indus- try, broadly speaking, should be divided into two parts—the production and the co-opera- tive selling. More especially they wanted co-operation in markett'ing. TliervA was no reason why the English should not be on top of the tree in the supply of -eggs, because their markets were close at hand, and they were also in a position to supply an egg which no other country could equal in quality. With regard to poultry, the 'speaker said the Lon- don market could not secure a sumeient sup- ply, and had to send to Belgium, where they 'had to pay four shillings and nve ,shillings each for Belgian birds. The markets in which the farmers could co-operate were open to the small as well as the large farmer. Mr. Edward Brown, honorary secretary of the National Poultry Organisation Society, re- ferred to the sympathetic co-operation of the Great Western Railway Company, and said in regard to the poultry industry that' some people thought the foreigner was able to send good eggs and poultry into tins country be- cause they had a better climate than prevailed in this country. He asked them not to believe that. He had visited all the countries in Europe, with the exception of two, and was prepared to pledge his reputation that there was no climate equal to that of the British Isles for eggs and poultry production, with the exception of New Zealand. The fault lay with the people. Last year Russia sent .V,5,500,000 worth of eggs into this country, which was eleven times as much as was pro- duced in Wales. Had they ever heard that the Russian climate was the most balmy cli- mate in creation? Let them take Denmark, where the people had done more in recent years towards the development of the poultry industry than any other country. Although the climate there was better timn that of Russia, no one could say that it was better than our own. Last year the people of Great Britain consumed 256,000 tons of eggs, but the foreign supplies were more than one-half. The foreign supplies were, however, decreasing. Yet, at the same time, the consumption of eggs in this country was increasing. Wales was a country of small farms, and he had many times thought it was capable of pro- ducing four times the amount of eggs and poultry it did at present. The last poultry census showed that in Whales there were 492,000 fowls per million acres of cultivated land, that was less than one-half a fowl per acre. There had been an increase since then, but he did not think it had readied one fowl per acre. One of the prime necessities of the future was the re-colonisation of the land. The greater weakness in the past was that they had a]lowed themselves to be beaten by the foreigner, and they should, therefore, co- operate. On the motion of Mr. Joseph Holmes, se- conded by Mr. Grimths, the following resolu- tion was passed: — "That this meeting heartily approves of the idea. of the National Poultry Organisation Society in sending the egg train into South Wales, believing that it will greatly stimulate the poultry industry in the southern half of the Principality; further, this meeting urges the committee of the local Farmers' Co-opera- tive Society and the Llanelly Poultry Society to take up the question of the sale of eggs on a modern basis."

CADUM I Cured MY Red. face Mrs. L. Boughton, 12, Vernon Road, Luton, says: "Four- teen years ago a little red lump came onmyrigh'tcheek. It burned and smarted, and in a few days my face -has verv much innamed with painful irritation. Every Jtind of treat- ment the hospital and ich ? < ? ? ??.?,-? other doctors could devise failed utterly to give me relief. Eventual'ly my face was completely covered with inflammation and pimples. Years of costly treatment having done me no good I tried Cadum. After the third night Cadum had taken out every bit of inflammation, and within a week it had completely cured my face, which was amazing to both my husband and myself.' Cadum is a new medical discovery that quickly cures a!) skin troubles, including ecxema. psoriasis, ringworm, scaty skin- tash, pimpies, sores, eruptions, ehafings, acne. etc. It stops the itching at once, and begins heating with the first application.

Border ChiJdren Dispute. LLANELLY MEMBERS' FRIENDLY ADVICE. At the Carmarthenshire Education. Commit- tee on Thursday last, the Clerk (Mr..1. W. Nicholas) asked if he was to proceed with the negotiations relative to the building of a new school at Penyfai, Llanelly. Mr. W. B. Jones, Llanelly, proposed that the matter should be deferred at present, as there was no immediate hurry for the school to accommodate the Furnace children, as they had, all of them, been re-admiÚed into the town schools. He would also advise them not to proceed with the building of the school at Penyfai in any event as if they did they would find that they would have spent some thou- sands of pounds to erect a building which would not be wanted nor occupied. No child- ren could be expected to climb up all the way to Penyfai if they could receive the needful education at Old Road. The Lionel ly Educa- tion Committee had now opened their doors. and all the children in the district attended the Llanelly schools, even those who lived on the eastern sid° of Llanelly. It would be a great pity if they decided to spend the rate- payers' money, and all to no purpose. It could not be described in any way but a waste of the ratepayers' money If they were anxious to build a school on the borders of Llanelly, why did they not do so half way be- tween the Furnace and Sandy? The Sandy district wa.s growing rapidly, and in a very short time it would be a very populous dis- trict. The children from this district could not 1)3 expected to attend Penyfaj. school, but if the school were built half way between both places they would have some grounds for doing so. As it was they had none, and it would be a waste of public money. The Rev. Dr. Thomas Johns, Llanelly, con- curred as to the unsuitability of the spot, and said that three times too much was being asked for the land The children would pre- fer going to the town schools than the new schools. Mr. John Lloyd, Penybank: It was you and the Llanelly people who. drove ns to it. R-ev. Dr. Johns: Don't blame us. Mr. W. B. Jones: We were fighting for the rights of the children, whose parents we re- present on the County Council. I pointed out to you at the time that it was folly to think of building a school up at Penyfai, but you would not listen to wliat I said; and what I have told you before is only a repetition of what I then told you. According to the resolution passed by the Llanelly Education Committee the children will never be turned out again. Mr. John Lloyd: I am Hot quite so sure of that. Mr Jones: Perhaps so. I cannot expect you to be: but I am, and I can go further and say that if the town of Llanelly was consulted on the matter they would not have turned them adrift before (hear, hear). I believe Mrs Lloyd and Dr. Johns will confirm this statement. Dr. Johns: Yes, you are right. Mrs. Lloyd: I am of the same opinion, and I think the children are all right for the future. Mr. W. N. Jones said that during the fight the friends from Llanelly, unfortunately, stood aloof. They did not give any help at all in the selection of a site. He did not blame them, because they were on the other side. Now that they came forward with friendly advice, he thought the matter would be settled if they accepted it in the same spirit as it was offered. Eventually it was decided to refer the mat- ter back to the committee, with a view ol selecting another site. Tlie Llanelly members —Mr. W. B. Jones, the Rev. Dr. Johns, and I Mrs. Lloyd—were added to the committee. It was also decided to build a new school at Halfway, Llanelly.

Calf Fatally Wounded. I PRISONER COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. At the Police Station on Monday, Frank Brown, farm labourer, employed at Cildewt- fawr Farm, Llannon, was charged with killing a calf, valued at .85, on April 13th, the pro- perty of Lettuce Thomas. P.S. Morgan said that when charged with the offence defendant said tliat he struck the calf on the head with a brush because it was making a noise with the bucket in the man- ger. He added that the calf fell down, and that he failed to bring it round. Hy. Latham, farm servant in the emplav of Mrs. Lettuce Thomas, said that on April 13th defendant was employed on the farm. About 8 o'clock in the morning witness engaged in cleaning the stable. The defendant came to the door and said, "Henry, .come hero; there is somsthing wrong." Witness went to the cow-house, and found the calf lying on its right side, in a dying state. There was a brush leaning" against the wall. When wit- ness saw the calf the previous night it was all right. The calf died five minutes later. Samuel Beynon, brother of Mrs. Lettuce Thomas, said that on April 13th, at about 6 a.m., he went to the cow-house, where he saw the calf. It was then all right. He re-visitcd the place about 8 o'clock in order to give the calf some milk. While he went for the milk Latliam called him to the cow-house, where he saw the bull calf apparently dead. On examination he found a wet mark on its head whereupon he accused the defendant of having hit the calf on the forehead with the brush. Defendant replied, "No, I did not knock the calf." Witness told him that unless he gave an explanation he would get someone to make an examination of the salf. Defendant was, up to that tim,e, cleaning the cow-house, and was also using the brush produced. Mr. J. Campbell Hill, M.R.C.V.S., the next witness, raised a question as to the payment of his fee for the postmortem examination, and the Bench stated that they would see what could be done. Witness then proceeding said he inspected the calf at Cildewi-fawr 1<'al'ln, in the presence of the defendant and Sergeant Morgan.. It was in fairly good g'row- ing condition. On the forehead he found that a, piece of skin, about four inches wide, had been stripped back towards the pole. The loose skin showed marks of bruising, and also on the bone beneath the skin. He exa- mined the internal organs, and found them all normal. He removed the skull bones, and found a blood clot. He also came across another blood clot. Death was due to cerebral hemmorhage, caused by blows inflicted on the skull. Apart from the blows inflicted by the brush, the brain was quite normal. In answer to the charge, defendant stated that he had nothing to say. Mr. Plummer, agent for the indus:ial school, Llandilo, asked the Bench if they would place tin lad in the hands of the Lon- don County Council. Mr. Sampson replied that a prima facie case had been made against the defendant, and they had no power to deal with it. Defendant was committed to take his trial at the Assizes.
