Yr oedd Siovs yn boff iawn o siarad ar ddameoion a chvffel- yhianthau. megis, Dywedir am yr Eryr, 'fod ei phlyf weichiau yn tyfu nes myn'd yn faich iddi, yna bydd yn codi mor agos i'r haul, nes eu deifio Felly ninau, pan fo rhywbeth yn rhwystr i ni fyw yn grefydd- ol, dylenj fyn'd mor agos at Haul y cyfiawn- der nes ei ddeifio ymaith.

Felly riinau pan fo rhywbeth yu ein rhwyatro i ymborihi ar fara y bywyd, dylem fyau cael gwared o honynt." Yr oedd Siors ac Evan Harries o Dreamlod yn gyfeillion anwyl iawn, a mynyh y byddai Siors yn aros ac yn gweit'iio gydag ef. Towr oedd Siors wrth ei aiwedigaeth. Un diwrnod gadawodd ei waith yn fyrbwyll, ac aeth at Mr Harries, a dywedai, "Harris bach, nis gallaf weith- io mwy heddyw." 1, Pabam hyny ?" gofynai Mr Harries. Ie Mi welais gymaint o ogoniant yn lesu Grist nes wyf bron mynd yn ddwl," meddai Siors. A gwydd- ai Mr Harries nad rhagrithio yr oedd. Yr oedd y Parch. Evan Harries yn myn'd a Siors gydag ef yn gyfaill weithiau, pan yn mynd trwy y wlad i bregothu. Pa.n a ar daith yn Sir Aberteifi, digwyddodd Siors, wrth weddio ar ddechreu y cyfarfod, a dymuno yn daer am ryw fendiih, alw y Gwaredwr yn Iesu bach anwyl." Ar ddiwedd yr oedfa aeth Owen Enos at Mr Harries, a dywedodd: "Mi glywais lawer yn son am yr Iesu, ond ni chlywais neb yn ei alw yn fach o'r blaen." I 1 0 1 gad rhyngddynt a'u gilydd," meddai Mr Harries, y maent yn ddigon 0 ffryndiau." I" 0 I" meddai Siors, "gwyddai Fe o'r I goreu mai o gariad ato y gwnaed hyny." Yn nyfnder y gauaf oedd, a'r ffyrdd yn ddrwg iawn y pryd hwnw. Pan oeddent bron methu myned yn mlaen, wrth fynd o Aberteifi am Nefern, dywedodd Mr Harris, Ni awn i Feidr-y-Saint yn fuan." Ond ar ol tynu yn mlaen am dro, a'r ceffylau bron glynu yn y llaid, gofynodd Siors, Pa bryd yr awn i'r lie byfryd hwnw ?' meddai Mr Harries. Ie, dyma hi,' meddai Siors. Beth a wnaatb i mi feddwl am ffordd hyfryd: bron methu tynu yn mlaen yw taith y saint yma yn yr anialwch.' Pan ddaethant i Gapel Nefern, gwelodd Siors y Parch. Mr Griffiths yno, a'r Capt. Bowen, o Lwyngwairv a'r boneddigesau, a chafodd ei lyncu fyny gan 'ofn dyn,' a dywedodd wrth Mr Harries fod yn rhaid iddo wneyd y cwbl ei hun yno, onide yr ai yr achos mawr i warth. Ond ni wnai Mr Harries ddim sylw o hono, a gorfodedd ef i ddechreu. Yr oedd yn meddwl fod ei wallt yn sefyll ar ei ben, ac nid oedd yn adnabod ei lais ei hun pan yn dechreu. Ond pan aeth i weddio, aeth pawb o'r golwg, dim ond efe a'r Anfeidrol, a bu yn 0 un 6'r oedfaon rhyfeddaf a welodd yn ei fywyd. Ar ol yr oedfa, cawsant fynd i giniawa i Lwyngwair.

Cyn ymadael, cawsant eu harwain i weled y palas, a'r rhodfeydd. Ar ol gweled ardderchogrwydd y lie, gofynodd Siors i'r boneddwr—' Pa fodd yr ydych yn gallu byw yma ?

aRUSH-DRAWINC IN OUR SCHOOLS ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE CHILD. LECTURE AT HAVERFORDWEST. On Saturday afternoon, the 28th of April, a large number of teachers attended at the St. Martin's School, Haverfordwest, to hear a lec- ture by Mr. J, H. Davies, of Llanelly, on How to teach brush drawing." Mr. W. H. Tymms, of Cresselly School, presided. Mr. Davies explained the various strokes and how best to get the children to make them. After the child had learnt to handle his brush and the paint he would be put to draw semi- conventional representations of plants,, etc. Then would come drawing direct from the object. The lecturer gave many hints as to what should be avoided. For instance, no outlining in pencil should be allowed. The figure, in the case of a leaf, let us say, was to be built up Jrom the centre, repeated appli- cations of the brush being given until the required form was produced. Various methods of representing the veins on leaves were de- scribed, as well as the way to give the effect of light and shade. As the lecture proceeded Mr. Davies showed the cards which he had pre- pared for the use of his class. He did not use any ready-made cards. All the exercises set to the class were worked in front of ch'3 class, and if cards were required he thought none could be better than those made by the teacher himself by gumming a leaf or plant on a plain white card. He did not expect the veterans, called upon in their old age, to become proficient in a new branch of art, to do this, but he would impress most strongly upon the younger members of the profession the necessity for doing so. He then proceeded to explain how he had adapted his syllabus to the conditions of his neighbourhood, and showed what an excellent instrument for train- ing hand, eye, and brain brush-drawing may be in the hands of a wide-awake teacher. His school was situated on the coal-field, and hI: children had lessons in gardening, geology, and bee-keeping. The various tools used in gardening were drawn, and their names leaim in that way. Lessons in the structure of the earth's crust, so important to a minei. were impressed upon the minds of these chil- dren by means of sketches, and special t- tention was drawn to the importance of ac- curate observation, as a miner's life often de- pended 011 little things' easily overlooked. He warned teachers present not to take his or anybody's syllabus as a pattern to follow blindly, but to build up a syllabus applicable to the conditions of the neighbourhood in which the school was situated. Mr. Davies showed how brush-drawing could be utilised to help the teaching of almost every school subject. Some good advice was given as to what colours to get. It was needless to get a wide range of colours. Let them use two or three of the principal colours, and especi- ally to avoid Chinese white, as it was un- necessary. Ink could be used whenever black was wanted. It was not economy to get poor brushes, and in the lower classes he would advise the use of coloured inks instead of paints. Mr. Davies' address proved conclusively the great educative value of the subject, when properly correlated with the other subjects of the curriculum. Not a word was said, however, on the artistic side of the subject. Sufily the importance of "design" au applic- able to the art:; and crafts should not lia\ e been overlooked, even in a school educating embryo miners only. Mr. John Rees, legryn, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Davies, gave some valuable hints as to the mixing of colours, any shade being obtainable from the three primary col ours mixed in the proper proportions. He al"o showed how, by putting a very small iti.uitiiy ot another colour 111 a sepia wash, a uniform tint was obtained which was veiy difficult to obtain otherwise. The Japaneie were held up by him as an example in the met hod of teaching brush-drawing. They .aid pl.,(,? the object, a plant, say, before the together with a drawing of it by a well known artist. The teacher would then make a drawing before the class, and each child would make one also. In thin way the Japanese developed the (rapacity of the cliii i for comparison as well as his dexterity. In his own school Mr. Rees used cards, but lie also trained the children to draw from the object, with special regard to the essentials of the object in contra-distinction to the un- important details. The Japanese system helped the child to grasp the essentials. He condemned the use of "blobs" in the low r classes. No child could draw a perfect "blob." He u':r>d the same objects in Standard 1. as he did in Standard VII. He thanked M Davies most heartily for his excellent ad- dress. Mr. T. C. Rees, Barn Street, Haverfordwest, seconded as a "tyro." Mr. Bancroft, "H.M.I., supported in a racy speech, in which he alluded to the "few years" he had been among them. When he can.e there was only one school in Pmbrokeshiie that took drawing, and that was in Haverford- west National. He quite agreed with the speaker", that "blobs" were not a desirable means of teaching the subject. He joined i:i the vote of thanks to Mr. Davies, and testified to his having learnt a good deal during the afternoon. Tne County Association of Teachers are to be congratulated on arranging so success- ful and so useful a meeting. They --ho'i .1 nov arrange sectional meetings for the teacheis to compare notes and help each other to clear up any difficulties. —-♦

RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. THE HELIANTHCS. The fine growth, bold outline, and massive flowers of the large-growing varieties of the Heliantiius or Sun Rower renders the various plants admirably adapted for mixing in shrub- bery borders or in groups for distant effect. They certainly make a beautiful display when viewed from a distance, their bright golden yel- low flowers being in full beauty during August, September, and October. The smaller flowered varieties are very prolific, and are valuable for the ornamentation of mined borders, and par- ticularly useful for cutting. The variety illus- trated is the miniature, which produces an SUNFLOWER. I abundance of small, elegant, bright golden yel- low single flowers, with a dark centre. The Orion has twisted petals, and there is also the miniature double, a new variety with double and semi-double flowers on the same plant. A POULTRY SCOURGE AND ITS CURE. When fowls are attacked by diphtheritic roup, some of the flock arc sure to perish. If chicks are brooded by a roupy hen they will contract the disease. Roup powder is certainly good to give to the fowls in a case of ordinary roup, but with that known as diphtheritic the following treatment is advised: As long as the growths ap- pear where they can be got at, remove or cut them clean off with a quill or piece of sharpened stick, caring not whether this causes a little blood to flow. Having thoroughly ronioved the growth, touch the raw places left with a camel's- hair pencil dipped in a weak solution of nitrate of silver. Repeat the dressing next morning, and, if necessary, on the following morning, and the case will be cured, the patient then needing little more attention beyond a dose or two of some good tonic. The quill used in the opera- tion of removing the cankerous growth should be at once burnt. It is said to be best to leave the bird until the growth is well developed, ripe" —that is, until the cheese-like mass forces open the mandibles, and the bird is quite unable to swallow-then one or two removals will end the matter. The fatal case is that in which the growth appears in the windpipe, where it can- not be reached; then suffocation causes death. Of course, during treatment, the bird should be isolated, and disinfectants should be freely used to prevent the spreading of the disease. A USEFUL GATE. The gate question is an important one in all hunting counties, and the inventor of the one of which I give an illustration has evidently studied its construction with very great care, for it is exceedingly light (671b.) and strong, and it A USEFUL GATE. is made without any mortices or tenons to hold the wet and create weak points. It is supplied with a double latch, which makes an excellent fastening, and only requries two notches cut into the post, as shewn in the illustration, or, if pre- ferred, two wooden hooks, driven into the post. As there are no protruding parts. it is im- possible for animals to open the gate or injure themselves by rubbing against it. Hinges and hooks can be supplied, specially made for these gate5--which are strongiv recommended—com- plete with the necessary bolts for fixing same, at 2s per pair. The gate can be hung either right- handed or left. The gates are stocked in one size, 10ft. long, made of red deal, planed throughout, excepting when creosoted. but other sizes are made to order. THE BRITISH GOAT. I agree with Mr. Bryan Hook, who declares, in that very excellent handbook of his Milch Goats and their Management," that if a breed peculiar to this country ever existed, it has long since been lost in the mixture of races that goes to form the breed at present looked upon as British. Our English goat, indeed, is the result of frequent crosses with foreign importations. Until the Board of Agriculture prohibited the landing of foreign cattle in England, goats used to be very frequently carried on board ship for the sake of their milk, and sold on arrival in port. From such stock, no doubt, a great num- ber of the best goats in and around London and Liverpool have been derived. Under the direc- tion of Mr. Holmes Pegler, the British Goat Society has done excellent work by subsidising shows, by the institution of a Herd Book, and by establishing a breed of reliable quality. The massive chest, and full, deep body of a British A T^TTISH COAT goat gi"o evidence of sound constitution and good milk-prodin ing powers; while the straight, short back, the intelligent-looking head, and the short. glossy coat, are points in which such goats greatly excel. That they. are fine milch animals goes without saying. THE FEEDING OF POULTRY. In 3t general way it may be said that there :s nothing like a constant variety of food to make good layers of fowls. Two meals a day arc gene- rally sufficient soft food in the morning (warm during winter and cold in summer) and sound grain at night. If there be any house-scrape, they should be minced and added to the morn- ing food, corisistiii4 of meal mixed with fine sharps. When insect life is scarce the fowls get cooked meat scraps, and" pieces" from the butcher, or sheep's or bullocks' pluck (heart lights, and liver), if sufficient, be not obtainable from the leavings of the household. These, ve cleanse and boil thoroughly, adding a pinch of salt ltici pepper to the water, and use the de coction for the purpose of mixing the meals. Tne meat we sometimes give as an extra feed; at others we mix it with the mash. a. pint to a "margarine" bucketful of prepared meal being about the proportion. Crushed fresh bones are also given occasionally when there is a scarcity of insect life, especially to layers and birds com- mencing to lay. For tho evening meal sound whole gram is allowed, and we change it us often ll, may be convenient. Poultry mixtures of the rubbish of all sort., of grain should be avoided. The grain we prefer is wheat, the best procurable at ar-asoiiable price, and that known as farmer's "tail" wheat is very suit- able for layers. Next to wheat we place barley, and then sound full oats. A mixture of all three grains, or of maize and best oats, may be sup' plied with advantage, the hitter being especially good for winter feeding. Large grey buckwheat and sunflower seeds are not so easily obtained, but a little of both as a change with dari is very acceptable. Hemp seed is also serviceable, but, being of a fattening nature, is not to be re- commended too much for laying hens. Small maize may be given occasionally during cold weather; but Indian corn "is highly indigestible, and tends to develop liver disease and to produce superfluous fat. especially in the heavy varieties. Green food should be given whenever obtain- able if the birds have not a run on which they can procure it. Cabbage (green and red), let- >ch, endive. mustard and cress, ai well as root vegetables, such as turnip, beet, and. in fact. almost any produce from the fitchen gaiden. arc beneficial. The leaves of the common dandelion, young nettles, and chopped young onions arc also valuable. As a change, especially during ..v'iiter. we ateam the outer leaves and fruit pavings tl]a1, are discarded hy the cook, and mix them in the breakfast, taking care to sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper. Sweet rotatoes sliced and put in 'e run for the fowls to peck at are relished.

MARROWS AND CUCUMBERS FOR PROFIT. Unless one has a large garden at disposal, it is of course useless to attempt to erow the common sorts of vegetables for sale, says a writer in Garden Home. Where the land is available there is no doubt that such crops as Potatoes, Cab- bages, Beans, Peas, and the various root crops can be cultivated with profit by amateurs. As a matter of fact many allotment holders are do- ing this at the present time, raising their pro- dura to the best of their ability, and either sell- | ma if is it stands on the land to some retailer or else disposing of it to wholtsale buj er: The latter method, although requiring a gici,ec ex- penditure of time and labour, is without doubt me most satisfactory. If the amateur can offer really good material, equel or evca perhaps a Tittle better than fhaf which tie notisewfTe <*an get from shops, slie will probably favour him and willingly pay a sli.srht'y enhanced price. People soon find out the aAl,aiita,(, which accrue from buyimr from 1'10 "rower, if for no other reason. owin" to the fact that the produce is ab- •clutelv fresh, it often beins even cut to order, In the present paper it is proposed to deal more particularly with a few rftiher srecial crops which the owner nr a. small .warden ¡¡¡(.]¡t reason- ably hone to cultivate with success from a finan- cial point of view. Vegetable Marrows are always very satisfactory planis to grow, as they do not take un much valuable room. and with ordinary care may be made very prolific:. Good strong plnrtts should bo raised in heat 'about April. and these oucV to be ready for putting out of doors about the third week in May.

A bed of stable litter should be prepared, about 3fr. or 4ft. in height, and the frame rested on the loo of this. A mix- ture ,f loam, leaf mould, and. rotten dung should be prepared and scattered to the depth of about 1ft. inside the frame. Sow 1 he seeds separately lOin. apart, and keep up the heat of the bed well by banking the frame all round with straw manure. Admit air cautiouily. and only during mild weather; of course, as the season advances more ventilation may be allowed. At all times plentv of sunshine is very helpful in the develop- ment of the plants. ,s soon as four or five of the rough leaves are farmed it is recommended that the tops of the plants should be pinched out; this will bring about early fruiting.

AGRICULTURE. I SEASQNABLE NOTES. -S. BY S. W. DAWKINS. Since my last notes were written, a great change has taken place in the weather. In the early part of March the land was s ) sodden with continued rain that it was impossible to proceed with sowing operations. Now all is changed, and we are suffering from a drought which has already Listed five weeks, and seems likely to continue. Some welcome .sho:vers are falling as I write, but I am afraid that the cold east winds will soon counter- act the effects of the moisture- The eruptions and earthquakes of which we read in different parts of the world, may be taken as prognos- tications of a dry season. The great drought of 1893, so disastrous to farmers, began in March, and very little rain fell afterwards until harvest time. The consequence was a failure of all crops except potatoes, which were ex- ceptionally good and free from disease. What ever may be in store for us in the future, an excellent seed bed has been secured for corn and potatoes, and mangels, where sown. Barley sowing in heavy clay soils is now an impossibility, as land of that kind which was ploughed when very wet is now as hard as bricks, and quite unworkable. It is advisable, wherever possible, to push on mangel sowing, as the earliest sown mangel are generally the best. Seedsmen advocate the growing of large roots to advertise them- selves, but it has been proved again and again that moderate sized roots are most profitable to the farmers, consequently the practice of allowing too great a distance between the p ants is to be condemned; nine inches is usually sufficient. I have always advocated the growing of tri- folium, or some other catch crop in the au tumn to provide spring feed, and such a crop would be particularly welcome in a dry season like this. Very little .abour is neces- sary in growing trifolium. The stubble, after ley oats, is lightly ploughed, and harrowed in August and the seed rolled in. I have an acre of it, which I began cat ting for the hoir.es last week. Trifolium is good fo: kinds of stock, and animals do not get blow]) on it, as they do sometimes af-cr an overdo-c of vetehe". Th-s acre of trifolium lasts untij JUllC, when the laud is agar.i ploughed, and rape sown, thus affording an extra useful crop when the land usual y lies idle. Of com s.e, extra manure is necessary. Oat*: are now com- ing up, and the dry weather has not affected the c:op as yet. It is a good plan to roll oats well, Rising preferably the Cambridge roller. Store stock are sel ing badly just now, as a result of the bare pastures. The mora1 is to convert as many of them a-' possible into beef, for which there is generally a good demand. April 26, 1906.

TUBERCULOSIS IN SWINE. An interesting report issued by the Medical Department of the Local Government Board, England, contains a timely reminder that the diffusion of tuberculosis may be occasioned in many other ways than by the agsncy oi human sputa frrnishwi by phthisical patients It has long been known, not only tint the pig is subject to tuberculosis, but also that the disease, when affecting animals of that species, is apt to become much more rapidly generalised or diffused over their bodies ttnn is the cise with bovine animals in whom t may remain localised in an udder or other organ for a compartivelv long period of time. It was "lso etabhsh I by the Royal 'Joiinn,: sion on Tuberculosis of 1898 that bacilli situate in the deeper portions of a joint of meat, or in the inner layers of a butcher's "roll," were neither killed nor deprived of their in- fective activity by ordinary cooking. V III these circumstances Dr. G. S. Buchanan was in- structed to discover what precautions are ac- tua'ly taken to secure the' quality of pig's meat, and be relied upon as «-oiuoes of safety to th3 consumer. It canr-ot he said that lIi" report is in the highest degree encouraging. With regard to the actual amount of preval- ence of tuberculosis in the pig. it has been found difficult or impossible to arrive at any exact There are certain abat- toirs, both in The United Kmcrdom and abroad I in which it seems to be carefully looked for, and in which the percentages discovered are compartively small; but there is mtrveJi reason to believe that these abattoirs are not attrac- tive to the owners of pigs likely to be dis- eased. The percentages actually discovered range from 1.0 or 1.5 to nearly 6.0, and even the smaller of these when considered in rela- tion to the enormous numbers of animals dealt with, must be regarded as represeatmg a very large supply of diseased and dangerous m?at. The pig is said to become infecto::<l with tubetculosis mainly thiough its food, and especia ly from the proximity 0(, tubercular cows, and from obtaining portions of then milk. It follows that the first signs of tuber- culosis in the pig are usually to be found in the sub-maxillary and cervical gla ids, or in the abdominal glands, and hence it is im- portant that these should be readily accessible to observation Dr Buchanan tells an in- structive story of a pork dealer and sausage make-: on a lorge seali on whose premises diseased meat was discovered by an inspec- tor, and who ever since has had every car- case reaching him stripped of glands and connective tissue with the "east possible de- 'ay and these possibly tell-tale portions of his merchandise consigned willi all speed to the mincing machine. Dr. Buchanan is }une clear as to the advisability of a 'more strict examination of vorcine carcases than it is at present possible, and is strongly in favour of Sir Shirley Murphy's proposal of reception stations for all dead meat entering the me- tropolis, stations at which it would be properly inspected, and from which it would issue guaranteed by the (fficial stamp of the in- spector. Until something like this is done it should not be forgotten by the housewife that pig's meat in all its forms is subject to a condition, the dangers from which may be obviated by thorough cooking, and that the very general distaste for "underdone" pork is based upon a healthy instinct which should not be neglected.—"The Hospital."

THE EDUCATION BILL. CI At a meeting of the Baptist Union on Mon day, Dr. Clifford moved a resolution declaring the Education Bill a just and statesmanlike mea- sure, but suggesting certain amendments of de- tail. He said the Bill was for no class and no sect, and favoured no particular interest. Mr G. White, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was carried with one dissentient. The president of the union also referred to the Bill in his in- augural address, and said the attitude of some Church leaders suggested the fear that certain ecclesiastics would be prepared to deprive the children of England of the most sacred heritage -)f our race if they could not append to it the dog- matic and sectarian teachings of their Church.

TO PUT DOWN STRIKERS. The lamentable mining disaster in the Lens mining district has been succeeded, as the direct effect of the catastrophe, by a grave conflict be- tween labour and organised authority that seems almost to bring France to the verge of civil war. The situation has become so serious that 50,000 troops are under orders in Paris to support the soldiery quartered in the mining district. Al- ready the rioting has been attended with much bloodshed, and at Lens on Monday thirty ring- leaders among the strikers were arrested. The Prefect of Police at Paris has announced that he will not be able to spare any men for the defence of the business houses and property, as he will require all the forces at his disposal to cope with the strikers. The official list of casualties in the strike riots is as follows:- One officer killed and fourteen wounded, six seriously; 115 men injured, five seriously. Troops have been poured into the northern districts to such extent that there are now more soldiers than strikers in the disturbed districts. Postmen and bank messengers in the disturbed districts are being escorted by troops. The printers who have returned to work are also under military protection. The prefect and the mayor have taken up their quarters permanently at the municipal offices. The ironworkers at Hennebont have voted ?or a general strike.
