IMPORTANT STOCK SALE. RETIREMENT OF A WELL-KNOWN VALE-PARME-it. In consequence of the retirement of Mr. J. 0. Thomas, J.P., of The Court, Boverton, near Cardiff, the whole of his live and dead farming stock hiM been disposed of by auc- tion by Mr. J. Richard Thomas, auctioneer, Cardiff, the fat stock being sold at the Llan- twit Major Auction Mart, and the remaining stock and effects at the farm. Mr. Thomas having been for a period of close on 40 years one of, the most successful agricultu- rists of the Vale of Glamorgan, coupled with his personal popularity, a very large attend- ance of buyers was naturally Expected, and this expectation was more than amply ful- filled. The whole of the stock and effects were of a very high character, and notwith- standing the time of the year all the store stock was put forward in a remarkably good a.nd saleable condition, and the fat stock was also turned out in a very prime and ripe condition. Everything, therefore, sold with the greatest possible briskness, and particu- larly gratifying prices were realised all round. The 27 fat steers and heifers sold on Monday made an average of Xlg apiece, and the 147 yearlings C2 6s. 6d. a head. On Tues- day the dairy cows, some of which were in full profit and others to calve in good season, averaged X17 a head, six.two-yea.r-old heifers to calve in April made £16 10s. apiece,, and the 22 cross-bred yearling steers and heifers made L8 10s. a head. The ewes and lambs [sold well, and realised £ 2 18B. a couple. The cart horses were .a very saleable lot, and were eagerly competed for, the top prioee being 61 guineas for "Champion," a good- looking four-year-old black gelding; 50 guineas for a bay mare six years old, and 46 and 4H guineas respectively for two three-year-old cart geldings. The harvested crops also sold well, the hay realising about X3 10s. a tön, and the igtraw about C2 a ton. The sales realised nearly £ 3,000.

Eggs with Musty Fliavoiir.F. Brown.—Give each hen half a tea-spoonful of Epeom salts every other morning for a week. Let them have more green food, discontinue the maize, and give more good white oats. Leaflet Xv. 229 of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries deals with The Breeding and Rearing cf Turkeys." Excellent advice on all points is given, and all interested in turkeys should send for a copy, obtainable post free from 4, Whitehall-place, London, S.W. Parsnips for :Fowls.fary Jones. Fowls are not partial to raw parsnips, but wnen boiled and mixed with meal at the ra.te of three parts meal to one of parsnip they enjoy them greatly and benefit by them very much. Mildew in Greenhouse.—" Dtamp Green- house."—Your plants are covered with mil- dew. Ke&p the atmcsphere drier and increase the ventilation considerably. Dust all the white, powdery leaves with flours of sulphur. It will decrease as the days lengthen. Potato Admiral Togo.—" Exhibitor."—Win- field's Selected Variety is an immense crop- per, with a predominance of big roots. They are white, oval-shaped, of excellent table quality, and great prize-winners. It is suit- able tor garden or field culture. It will please you for all purposes. Dog in Bad Condition.—"Da-dley Gyp. "-In- digest,ion is the cause. Give a compound rhu- hub pill every night for a. week. Get the following made into 24 pills:—Extract of gen- tion User., powderéd rhubarb leer., powdered ginger lscr. Give one night and morning, when: the others are discontinued. Canary with Scaly Legs.—" Canary Care." | —Rub the legs and feet occasionally with a drop cf paraffin oil. Do it carefully. Olip the endis off the claws, but not so far back as to make them bleed. Keep some clean, fine sand in the bottom of the cage oon- etantly. Ohinese Lilies not Plowering.-T. H. Hull. —Your treatment was quite right, but the bulbs were wrong. When not sufficiently ripe they have a disappointing habit of refusing to open their blooms, although apparently healthy and fit. It is only the well-matured that can be depended u-pon, and many are not that. Sample of Poultry Feeding Oats.—J. Adams. --The oats you send are perfect rubbish. They are extremely void of meal and body, and are altogether deceptive. They would not keep the hens in condition nor make them lay. Ask for good white oats, weighing a.t least 421 bs. to the bushel; then you have a substantial and grand laying food. A Mistake.—D. T. Jones.—My remark to cover Brussels sprout seed to the depth of one foot was a slip. It ought to have been one inch. Thanks for calling my attention to it, and I am glad this is the first time you have met with a mistake in these notes. I quite agree with you as to the avoidance of "crack jaw" words, as I know that plain words are most appreciated. Flowers for Border; Book on Bee-keeping.- Ivor Hiilbert.-You will have a charmingly gay and sweet display from the plaaits you name. You might plant marigolds, snap- dragons, or chrysanthemum maxima in the position you name. All would flower freely for a long time. You should get t,he book, "Bees for Profit and Pleasure," published by Ms. Oollingridge, 148, Aldersgate, London. price le. 2d., post free. It ie a most helpful voJpm«. Aspidistra, Leaves Withering—J. Connor (Belfast).—It is a too common habit of the pidisttra to spat and wither, and- a very general oa«se is inefficient drainage and too much damp at the roots during winter Avoid these conditions, and hardly a spot will ever appear. Much exposure to the eun iu the a-utumn to harden the leaves will also help to carry them robustly through the wlnter. and plants grown in close, shady atmospheres are sure to suffer more or less. Palm Leaves Decaying.—" A Constant Reader. —As your palm has not been re- potted for seven years, the soil must now ,be very poor and unsustainirrg. 'You should re-pot it at the end of March or early in April into a larger pot, and give it efficient drainage, fibrous soil with some grit, but not much manure. I will deal with potting palme later. You should expose it much to the sunshine in September, as ripening and hardening the leaves then is a guarantee of their remaining robust through the winter. I?r Upland Small-holding. -r-J. T. Williams. The Scotch Grey is a moat hardy fowl for exposed positions and uplands. The Barred Plymouth Rock ie also extremely hardy, and would serve you well ■Dotli £ ts table fowls 3<n<l "^ixxluc^rs.

You cannot get good specimens under 5s. or 7s. 6d. each, but these are mveh cheaper than half-crown ones in the end. Soot and Fresh Lime, &c.—" Pansy."—<N°> soot and fresh lime should never be applied together. The combination decrease their virtues. The soil manured last autumn will utilise a dressing of lime beneficially given now, but, as a rule, dnmg may be avoided in the year lime ie given. You can plant- your pan&ies the first week in April. You should shorten the strong stems of your roses to three inches from the bottom of the new wood, and cut out the little weakly shoots altogether. Do this the last week in March The charmin.g little rock plant, Puschkinia bealloades, is now oharmingly in bloom. It is one of the most attractive of early ifswoh flowering plants in the open.

I. RURAL JOTTINGS. VALUABLE HINTS AND INFORMA- TION. Pruning: Wall Roses, The last week in March and the first week in April comprise the most fitting period to prune bush roses, but those on wails ought to he pruned earlier. There are two leading reasons for this; one is that wall roses are usually eurlier than the bush ones in getting- into growth, the other that wall roses bloom first a.nd, consequently, require an earlier set-off in order to accomplish that. Early prundng induces early growth, but it is only on the more sheltered wall plarate that it can be done safely. I, therefore, advise the pruning of all wall roses at mid-March. They will then push into leaf early in April and be in bud and bloom in early May. Open- air roses are extremely delightful then, and all should try for them. In pruning them cut all small, trashy shoots quite off. They are not wanted for leaf production, and they do not flower. It is the long, young, robust shoots that should be reserved, as they main- tain the abilities of the plants and produce hosts of fine budts and flowera of the most substantial kind. Long, straggling shoots should be shortened and weakly greeai ends cut off. On no account let them remain crowded. This, will spoil everything. Many prefer their wall roses in* a rambling form. They are certainly most pleasing when grown gracefully without stiffness and for- mality. To ha ve every shoot tacked on the wall with regularity is a style that may give the fidgets to those who know and admire the charming character of wall roses when somewhat trained but given enoua-b f rambling style to asisure grace and" natural beauty. "When seen in untidy bundles, of all classes of growth they are not inviting and give no pleasure. The opportunity should be taken in pruning to re-train any requiring this attention, and nail and tie all up; then the new growth will dwell securely and lovable. Open-air Floral Gems in March. Why, why, oh! why does not everyone grow the hardy M arch -flowering iris? They are conspicuously beautiful and unique in attractions. All open-air subjects that blos- som gaily in winter are very pleasing, and the irises a-re especially, as their forms and colours are so very choice. There is no mis- take either as to their capability to flower, as it is no half-hearted development, but a real display; indeed, I am hardly doing them justice, as they flower in February quite as happily ae in March, and are a real treat to all who see them in their Arctic surroundings. The variety Irus uniguicularua is lilac, white and yellow in colour, and sweetly fragrant. It is at ite best in Thbru- ary. Oauea flowers in February and March, while Peraioar-one of the best known —flowers in February and March, and is yellowish lilac ajid vdolert-acented. Retioolalta. -anotlher great beauty—is violet purple, an4j no special soil, exceptional position, or un- atta,inable attentions are called for. Early Carrots in Frames. Early frame carrots are amongst the most delicious of all vegetables. They are tender, sweet, and toothsome, and all who can give them a slight hot-bed and frame can readily produce them at this sea-son. Put some sandy soil in the frame to a depth of nine inches. Sow the seed broadcast. Very thinly cover with half an inch of &and, and water. Keep close till the plants appear, and they will push on capitally. Thin a little when overcrowded, and in five or six weeks hence there will be charming returns. Spring Spinach. Spinach is the first vegetable crop that can be sown in the open in the spring, and it should be taken general advantage of. It is gratifying to have a young crop coming on of any sort, and spinach is both generous and acceptable. It has many good points. It is exceedingly hardy, and grows in March and onwards in spite of chill's. It is never killed by grubs in the soil or injured by birds or ine-pots. It i,s the quickeet of all vegetables to arrive at a usable condition. It yields greatly, and when on the table it is most agreeable in flavour and health-giving in action. It Is not laxative, but relieving. Those who understand its virtues grow it early and late, And reg-ard it as cf all-round utility, and. personalis I am a greet sup- porter of it. It attains usable size in five or six weeks after sowing, and those who have been without srwa vegetables more or less all winter welcome the early spinach with delight. The variety to sow now is the summer or round peedied. Gave it rich soil and a sunny position. Sow in rows one foot apart, or put in a p-atoh broadeaet. This is the most economical where is limited. A piece two or three yard's square win supply roanj gatherings. Do not sow the seed thickly, as it all grows, as a rule, and only cover slightly. The Hop as a Climbing Plant. For speedy growth and graceful habit few plants excecd the hop. rt will ascend from ten to twenty feet in the early summer, and develop a great wealth of beautiful leaves attached to the most graceful of tendrils. It will soon cover an extensive surface on walls, drape a verandah, and surround poles, pillara, s<.eme and such-like supports. It wi £ in al] parts if given a deeply- dug soa and now w a tjm^ p]ant u There variegated form which some prefer. Fr>aT:,f OVyn Vegetables.

Ric. and Oatmeal for Chicken*. T o'on8 of 1^10 are now arriving daily. "A Laay deader in Essex informs me" abe over 100 Out, but muoelh atiterotkm is needed at this time to keep them going. The best of "on-sfng attentions must be given them, and theiir food should be of the beet. Itany have their own special mixtures, and bought- in foods are said to be the best. At present I am going much on rioe boiled in new milk, and the.n mixed with oatmeal to form a crumbly dorugh. It is made new every morn- ing, and no more is mixed than will serve for the day. All is nourishing and binding. The little chicks like the food, and it is moat assertive in forcin.g substantial growth, and keeps them in good health. It never creates interior disturbances, and the whole is as choap as the majority of foods. I would advise all to begin with this mixture with the first of their chicks, and I feel sure they will stick to it. Potato Onions. The m,t,a-to onion is an old inmate of the garden, and is most useful. It is a most acceptable substitute fcr the ordinary onion., which fails too frequently and is much missed. The potato onion does not suffer from pes-ts or disease, and failure is almost unheard of. The bulbs should be planted individually in rows ten inches apart in rioh soil at the end of March. They delight in sunshine, and do not succeed in the shade. The Roots of Grape Vines. Sometimes the roots of vines are all out- side the vinery. In other cases they are all inside it. In the former instance there i8 little daiEger of the roots or soil being too dry now. The complaint may be of an oppo- site nature, but in the under-glass borders excessive dryness is often aipt to occur, and the vines suffer in consequence. It may be that the house has been kept as dry as. pos- sible all the winter, or the surface may be damp and the subsoil dry. This is a most undesirable condition. There is a tool to a-scertain this that is often useld, but an idea may bo formed without it, a.nd leave nothing to chance. It is not generally far wrong to assume that the border is dry, and give it a soaking, If the subsoil is very dry the whole will require watering two or three daya in succession. Clean water may be used first; then soak with liquid manure. No vines will grow kindly with any of their roots dry. Pruning Roeee Too Early. I hear so often of roses being injured and up-set by pruning too early that I am writing this note this week as an urgent call to wait, wait, and hold off for a good while yet. The habit of the rose is to posh into growth ammug, the fixat of hardy p Ma,ny are now well furnished with leaves at the upper end of the shoots. It is these that induce the i-dea tha-t it is time they were pruned, but on examination it will be noticed that the buds at the bottlOm of the shoots are still dormant, and it is this that assures safety. If they were pruned now and the tops cut off, the lowe-r buds would 6()(:i¡ >3 induced to push into leaf; then they wo,d almost be sure to be nipped and injured by the cold weather. This is the great danger, and must be avoided, which can only be done by la-te pruning. Let the shoots now in leaf remain and grow, and it will be found that the blooms will be small and more or less deformed. They are of a pine,hed type, but when the late buds do not develop till mid-A/pril or so the growth is strong and clean, the buds robust, and the blooms flawless. This is perfect rose-growing, and no other mode should be practised. Do not be tempted to prune till the last week in March. Do the most inferior plants then, and the best ten days or a fortnight later, and both growth aOO blooms in 1910 will be excellent.

PURE MILK CRUSADE. ANTI-FLY FIAT BY CARDIFF MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. Lecturing om Wednesday night at Cardiff Docks Branch Library, Dr. Edward Walford (medical officer of health) spoke of the imrportejioe of a pure milk supply, and made cogent suggestions as to remedial expedients, his deductions being illustrated by limelight vietws. The apathy of the consumer was, he pointed out, remarkable. The demand for pure milt would produce its sopply, and there was reason to believe that the tJrIlblie was beginning to take an interest in the! matter. The Board of Agriculture demanded the use of sealed cans, a provision the import- anoe of which the doctor emphasised, and he proceeded to impart valuable instruction to mothers and others who have the care of children. He advocated a policy of "hands off" in regard to flies, whose bacterial eccen- tricities fostered infantile disorders, and might lead to typhoid fever and other diseases.

MILKVENDORS FINED. STIPENDIARY'S REFERENCES TO OLD ACQUAINTANCES. The National Dairy Company -were charged at Aberdare Police-court on Wednesday with selling milk deficient in butter fat. The proceedings were taken by the local district council, for whom the clerk (Colonel Phillips) appeared. It was stated that the defendants really traded under the style of the Callow Park Company. The Stipendiary: Ah! They are old acquaintances of .mine. (Laughter.) Inspector James explained how he had bought the milk for the purposes of analysis. Mr. William Kenshole, who defended, sub- mitted that the wet weather prevailing at the time of the sale must have affected the quality of the milk. The Stipendiary: My colleagues take a much more lenient view of the case than I do. I daresay they are right and I am wrong It is not a case of added water; but I don't think these men ought to go about the town defrauding the public. The defendants must pay £5 and costs.

Ear- marking would not only not be to the betterment of horse breeding but it woild be- a waste of money that might- be otherwise usefully employed They had better bring before the Government some scheme which was workable and not beyond their means They could not expect people to breed horses if they could not get a. price to pay them, or could not jsell a horse at any prica.

MYSTERIOUS AGRICULTURAL DISEASE. Within the next few days, it is hoped, there will leave our shores for Northern Italy a band of medical workers intent on solving, j if possible, the origin of pellagra, a disease i which has for years attacked field labourers in the Mediterranean region, and has now spread to Asia and America, with fatal j results. The great peculiarity of pellagra is that only field labourers are attacked, and that town dwellers are immune. The symptüID5 of the disease recur regularly every spring for sometimes ten or fifteen years, and the patients invariably end their days in a lunatic; asylum. The earliest symptom of the disease, which makes its first appearance in the spring months, is a peculiar akin, eruption, not unlike a severe sunburn, affect- ing the exposed parts of the body, followed by stomach disorders and profound mela-n- cholia, altercating with outbursts of violent excitement or delirium, which frequently end in murder and suicide. Finally the patient occomes completely demented. In Italy, it is estimated* there are 60,COO standing cases of pellagra, and in Koumania, with a population of only five millions, there 1 are SO.OX) cases. Recently cases have been detected in Barbadtis, South Africa, India, in Z2 North American States, and Egypt. Pellagra is believed to be an endemic rather than an epidemic disease.

Cowbridge-road. was rreferr.A against her daughter, Florence Simmons (12) and Herbert Davies (29). Mr. Robert James, the manager nad watched the girl take the boots, but DeUcli-ra Harvey, who made the arrests, gave the statement of the little girl. She remarked. Mr. Davies, my uncle, said to me, Take them boots off the hook and put them under -your -coat.' Inspector Bingham said the male prisoner was a mechanical engineer, and a man of good education, but he had been previously charged at the court with stealing a ring and was fined £ 2, or a month. He (the iaspeol tor) desired to apply that the girl should be sent to an industrial school. The bushand was in North Wales, and under all the circum- sta-nces he did not think the mother a at and proper person to have the custody of the child. The male prisoner was not aA uncle to the child. Mr. Lester Jones (chairman) gave the mala prisoner three months' hard labour, and ordered the child's detention in an industrial school until she wae sixteen.

Business Success Starts in the Stomach. No Man can Win Commercial and Industrial Battles when His Brain is Befogged by Bad Digestion. Many people suffer from Indigestion and do not know it. They feel mean, out of eorts, peevish, -do not sleep well, do net have a. good, keen appetite, do not have the in- clination and energy for physical or mental work they once had, but, at the same time, do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. Yet, all this is the result of poor digestion, a.n insidious form of indiges- tion which can only be cured by a remedy specially intended to CURE it and make the digestive organs act naturally and properly digest the food eaten. Bitters, after-dinner pills, and nerve tonics will never help the trouble; THEY DON'T REACH IT. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do, and are a sound specific for indigestion. It CURES because it thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, WHETHER THE STOMACH IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER OR NOT. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digesting the food, instead of making the worn-out stomach do all the work. gives it a much needed REST, and a CURE of indigestion is the natural reeult. When yon are nervous, run-down, and sleepless, don't make the common mistake of supposing your nervous system needs j treatment and fill your stomach with power- ful nerve toatics which make you feel well for a little while, only to fall back further then ever. Your nerves are all right, but they are starved, they want food. j Nourish, them with wholesome, everyday food, and plenty of it, well digested, and you I CU1 laugh at nerve tooice aod mcdioine. r But the nerves will not be nourished from a, weak, abused stomach, but when the diges- tion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy a,ll nervous symptoIM disappear. Who ever heard of a man or woman blessed witn a nrous digestion and good appetite bc-ing troubled with their nerx-esp Good digestion means a strong nervous rjstero, abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of life. I Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will certainly set your stomach and digestive organs right; they can't help but do it, bocause they nourish the body by digesting the food eaten. and rest the stxxmaoh. You get nourishment and rest a.t one and the saame time, and that is all the worn-out dyspeptic needs to build him up and give new life to every organ and an added seat to every pleasure.
