TO CHECK APPLE STEALING. A LLANBEDitOG EXPERIMENT. A novel attempt is being made at Llanbedrog to check the stealing of apples from orchards and gardens. A lady has given an apple tree to be planted at the home of each scholar in the County School between the ages of nine and eleven years, in the hope of interesting them in growing fruit and making them realise what it is tio have one's apples stolen. The donor points out to the children that if a farmer; saw an apple tree in one of h fields he would have it destroyed, as otherwise people would come scrambling to steal the fruit and trample his crops, break the fences, and leave the gates open, ec. But. if stealing apples could be made as rare as stealing money every field might have an apple tree in I a sunny corner, without taking up useful ground, and the whole country would have such an abundance of apples that! all could buy as many as they could eat for a few pence. The children over eleven years old are to write an essay, for which prizes will be given, on "The low to the nation caused by stealing apples."

Aberystwyth Rural Council ENCLOSURE AT LLANBADARN. A meeting cf the Aberystwyth Rural Coun- cil was held On Monday, when Mr. David Edwards Dolfdr, presided. The Clerk (Mr. Hugh Hughes) read the fol- lowing letter:—At a. meeting of the Issayndre and Uchayndre Parish Councils it was decided to draw the attention of your Council to the case of Mrs. Morgan, the owner of Blaendolau r,1arm, Llanbadarn, in causing to be fenced iB for her own purposes a part of Ddo> dau Com. mon. A deputation waited an Mrs Morgan with the request that the fence be removed. but she refused to do' so. She also stated that it was her intention of closing in another part of the Common. On this subject a deputation attended the meeting. hIr. David Davies (a member of the deputation) said that Mrs. Morgan had fenced in a big portion of the Common which had hitherto been regarded as public property. As a deputation, he said, they had been to see Mrs Morgan, but she absolutely refused to take the fence down on the grounds that the enclosed land was 11er own-property. Mrs. Morgan also stated that she intended enclosing a much larger portion, and he (the speaker) suggested she should enclose the whoc of the land if it was her property. (Laughter). Mr. John Roberts (Llanbadarn) said he wan an .M resident in the district, and as far back as he could remember the land claimed by Mrs. Morgan belonged to the public. The children had always used it as a playground. Mr. Bunce Morgan said if the land in ques- tion was public property then it was for the Council to ascertain what belcnged to Mrs. Morgan and what belonged to the pub ic. Mr. R. L. Thomas said that people had been continually claiming the Common for some years, and it was time for tho Council to put a stop to it. The Chairman suggested that a strong com- mittee be appointed to look into the matter, which needed serious consideration. M". J. Roberts failed to see the utility of s committee, and said it would be better for the Council to decide there and then what action to take. The Clerk said the Common was generally recognised as a playground for boys. Some portion of it had been closed in bv the Rural Council in order to stop gipsies from encamp- ing on it. 1 The following were appointed on the Com- mittee to deal with the matterThe Rev. David Jones, Messrs John Roberts. E. L. Jones, J. B. Morgan, W. Thomas, and Richard Jones, and the Clerk Was asked to write to Mrs. Morgan to attend before the Committee and produce proofs of her laim. Pentrebont Water Supply. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. J. M. Joraes, Osborne Villa, Llanrhyrstyd Road, declining to accede to the requesfl of the Coun- cil for the means of improving the water supply for the village unless the supply for Osborne Villa was safeguarded first of all. The Surveyor said that owing to Mr. Jones's attitude the water supply scheme which the Council had in view would be impracticable. It meant that the village would have to take its chance in the hot weather. He suggested that the Council should go in for a.n adequate scheme from the Cwmcafn supply which had f' an abundance of water. Several members spoke on the heavy expendi- ture such a scheme would involve, but on the suggestion of Mr. Richard Jones it was decided to try and secure a loan for the purpose of the scheme. Mr. Dl. L'oyd—Whilst on the water qnes- tion, I should like to know what has become of the Chancery water supply scheme? A Member—That was left for the Clerk to a^Tange w th the owner of the land. The Clerk—The matter is sti'l in Chance-- (laughter)—but I hope to see the gentlemui before the next meeting. The Sanitary Inspector reported having iret the Parish Council and representatives of tie proposed war memorial at Llanbadarn. Thrv proposed to erect a memorial on the site now occupied by the street, fountain, which woufl be moved and refixed at the corner of the Blact Lion Inn.—This was aoreed to It was suggested that the owner of Lhmdl" water guoply was very anxious to sell the sunpl; on terms and it was decided to enquire wha proposed terms were. The estimated expenditure for the curren na.if-ve3.T was considered, showing an increase of £1,500 as compared with the corresponding I half of last year. The Chairman said that it seemed likely for the expenditure to go much higher in the future. Mr. Bunce Morgan said it was high time thev thought abmit economising. All the local k-1.

Poultry. POULTRY POINTS. Now that the weather is wet and cold, the pleasure of poultry keeping is somewnat re- duced. True it takes away all the beauty and attraction of the work when compared wi.h the lovely conditions in May and June. Of course, if only the egg basket is fil ed each day much of tho dirt and trouble is passed over; but when everything is against the work, then it becomes monotonous. It costs something now to feed, and when the sack keeps getuing low and there is no return, coupled with the bad weather conditions, cne is liable to lose temper and clear out), or threaten to uo so. Much depends on place and situation whether things are in good order. Given a situate p.ace and fit surroundings, poultry keeping should not be bad work even in November, and if the birds are all kept inside it becomes less trouble. One cannot breed successfully from the intensive house. There must be an outside run and I natural exercise to get a supply of fertile eggs. When fowls are confined they are more like y to produce eggs; but from the breeding pen one needs healthy conditions wluch can only be obtained when there is a strong germ in the egg. To get this the birds need an outdoor run, so that the conditions may be more natural, and good results can be expected. The run, however, should not be on cold clay land, which will not suit) any fowl, though some kinds would do better than otiiers. It is use- less to suggest to a man that he must move after be has bought his house and land, for it would be foolish to expect it, but the best mu be made of surroundings and only those breeds kept which are suitable. For heavy land keep heavy breeds. All fowls will keep on light land, but to try Campdnes and Leg- horns on heavy soil will only end in failure. There is always more difficulty in rearing the chickens, for though the grow well during the first week or two they soon go off and begin to drop from a month ctd and need a lot of attention to grow along to the adult stage. The clay is always cold even when not wet, for it retains tnoisture, which means it will be co'der than soil which is light and dry. There is much difference in clays, some being darker than others, but they are all bad for pou try. 1 is painful to walk round a place which is all clay, for not only do you get dirty, but the birds never have dry feet when they go to roost, and unless the litter is dry and clean they cannot hope to clean themselves before perching for the night. If runs are put up for any stock on heavy land, they should be made bigger than if on light land, because the ground fouls much quicker and does not sweeten so quickly. While I believe in keeping all houses off the ground, it is absolutely essential where the hoase is on clay land. Sometimes a house is built on the ground and then filled up inside so that it is higher, which is thought to- keep it dry, but tho post will be enough to I draw up a little moisture, and no matter what you put on the floor a certain amount of damp will come up, and the whole becomes one hard pad of manure which emits unpleasant odour, injurious alike to yourself and the birds. No matter what the style of house, set. it up at least a foot from the ground, and if On bric> pillars ali the better. Then with a good lloor you can hope to keep the birds dry. This entails more expense when starting, but the extra eggs will more than repay the cost and the birds will keep in better health. So many folk want a big place when they start, with the result that efficiency is often sacrificed I and the birds never do well. Better start with a smaller place and extend a little each year, and I dare to suggest that each new building will find some change, however slight, which you think an improvement. Then the heavy breeds will he more suitable for the conditions and when not crowded should give a good re- turn in eggs. For general use there is nothing better than the Sussex Rhode, Island Red, or Plymouth Rock, though the Orpington is a good fowl and will suit some folk better in colour and shape.

Farmer's Column. INSURANCE SCHEME. A general meeting of the local branch 01 the National Farmers' Union was he d at the ¡ Lion Royal Hotel On Monday to consider the Mutual Insurance Society scheme in connection with the Union. Mr. A. Morgan (Pwlglas) presided. Mr. W. E. Lees, one of the directois of the Insurance Societ-y, in an address, said the Society was meant to bind the members of che Union together. The scheme was pvacti- cally identical wijh the scheme formulated bv the Midland Farmers' Union which had saved by this means over £4,300. An advantage of the Farmers' Union scheme was that instead of giving back fifteen per cent. like tariff offices they were giving twenty per cent. Shares were taken up in the way of bonds and each farmer was expected to take a JE50 bond. This would get them security as every po icy holder would also be a shareholder in the scheme. They could insure against fire and anything which I the farmer required The most important item was ilhe workmen's compensation and even in this the farmers reaped the benefit. Every man on the farm cost the farmer practically £100 a year, and if the man wag insured the farmer saved 8s 3d. which way enough to pay his subscription to the Farmers' Union. The insurance work would bo done through a committee of their own branches and this committee would sit once a month to deal with claims and assess damages. There was no doubt that the influence of the whole agricultural world would support the scheme which was on y intended for members of the Farmers' Union. It was decided to send a resolution inviting the Executive Committee to make the scheme applicable to the county. AGRICULTURAL WAGES. A meeting of the Agricultural Wages Board was held in London on Thursday, Sir Ailwyn Fellowes presiding. It was reported that no objections had been received to the Board's proposals in respect of Northumberland and Durham (1), to provide that he Order defining as overtime employ- ment all time in excess of six and a half hours 0Q1 one day (not being Sunday) in every week should not apply to workers in the coun- ties who, by agreement made in writing with their employers and approved by the District Wages Committee are entitled in each half- war either to a week's holiday on full pay or a week's work on double pay; and (2), to cancel the special rates of wages for boys of sixteen to eighteen employed as stockmen in that area; thus leaving them subject to the ordiiary minimum and overtime rates, in accordance with the similar revision which was receatly made in the case of adurt stockmen. The Northumberland and Durham DistVict Wages Committee had concurred m both pro- poses and the Board decided to issue orders putting them in effect on the 8th December. A report was adopted which was presented by Sir Henry Rew from the Administration Committee, dealing with the issue of permits of exemption by District Wages Committees, tbt action taken to secure the enforcement of the Board's orders since the last meeting of tb Committee, and the results of proceedings it nineteen cases of prosecution which had been undertaken since that meeting. Mr. Acland presented a report from the "Cottages" Committee recommending the con. firmation of determinations by various district 1Utges committees of ninety-four cottages as defective under the terms of the Board's "Benefits and Advantages" Order and of the deductions which the district committees had in the case of the cottages from the maximum value of 3s. per week at which a cottage may be reckoned in part payment of minimum wajes. Consideration of the objections received to the Board's proposal to fix lower £ ates of wages for boys engaged in learning agricul- ture under the supervision of approved authorities was deferred. The Board also discussed the advisabi ity of ftxing special minimum rates of w&ges for workers employed in threshing operations, but tecided to take no action. NO ROOM FOR BAD FARMER. VALUE OF AN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. Professor Bryner Jones. M.Sc., the recont'y- appointed head of the Department for of the Board of Agriculture, in an address the members of the Agriculture and Forestry Society of the Bangor University College. there was to be no room in the future for the bad farmer; his land must be takon from him and given to another. In his opin- ion agriculture in this country was largely a matter of education, a fact which was nowhere iVitter appreciated than in Wales, and that was the chief reason why hI" rc-ardrri tho future of agriculture with so much confidence Wales was often spoken of as a oountry of small holdings, though the actual difference in this matter between Enland and Wales was not great. While ho still believed there was room for the large farm and that the policy of consolidation should go on simultan- eously with the creation of small holdings, the present movement of land settlement was to bring with it a large measure of I prosperity to British agriculture Dr. White, professor of agriculture, referred ¡ to the part played by great landlords in the improvement of agriculture, and he thought it was one of the most regrettable features of modern times that so few of the land- owning community appeared to be disposed to raVly put their backs into farming (Hear, hear). At the same time he called attention to the point raised in the address that the example of one working farmer taking up modern improvements would have far more effect on other farmers than a similar action taken by a landlord. Mr. Thomas Roberts, a well-known farmer. aid agriculture was the greatest industry of Wales. He was not very' enthusiastic about iraall holdings, which oould be overdone. They nust not expect to turn out practical farmers n six months. Unless students had been irought up in farms it would take more time .ban was generally supposed to make them ifficient farmers. (Hear hear). THE AGRICULTURE (COUNCILS) BILL. The maim objeatg of this Bill which haa iow passed ttfie Committee stage in the House of Commons and may be regarded as ■he first fruits of re-organisation of Agricul- ture, its general recognition by the public, are the creation of Central Advisory Oommitttees for the Board of Agriculture and Ifocal Administrative Committees for Agri- culture in the Counties. When the Board of Agriculture was first dtaMished some thirty years ago, not very tlUOh imporkrnce attached to it. Agriculture lad long been allowed to follow its own cevices a.nd the Board was given more or IMB negative powers to administer certain existing Acts of Parliament dealing with Alimal, Diseases, Insect Pests and the rest. "There was no idea. of creating a great construc- tive department. Now tho Board are expected to promote agricultural interests in every pos- sible way, by stimulating food production, etlntrolling cultivation, assisting research and education in agricultural subjects, taking land settlement in hand and looking after small- holdings and allotments. It is their task to keep the national importance of agriculture ooivstantly before the country and Paflia- ment. To these ends it is regarded as essential that the President amd the Board should have the soundest possible advice, so 8R tlO hear and know what the be,t mimds in the iadusiry are and thinking, OT f Lord Em'e used to put it—"to get their ear to the ground." It ie that, this advice may be given in the broadest that the Coun- cil of Agriculture for England and the O^tmcil of Agriculture for Wales and a smaller Advisory Committee for both Eng- land and Wales are being established. Similarly, it is regarded as of prime import- ance that local intorest in agriculture should be stimulated, and for this reason each county is to up a local Agricultural Com- mittee. In the pflst some County Councils whilo paying great attention to questions of health, rates, eriijcatlon and so forth, have not shown that interest in aigriculture which is so desirable. Now we are to have a body m each county whose prime concern is with the county's agricultural welfare. FARM HANDS' MINIMUM. A prom-nentt West Wales farmor—Evan Davies, Blaenant), Newcastle Emlyn, was summoned a.t Pemrliiwpal, Cardiganshire, by Mr. A. Carr Wifliams. inspector of the Board of Agriculture, aotiino- under the directions of the Agricultural Wages Board, for not paying his throe workmen the minimum wasre. Defendant pleaded guilty. It was alleged for the prosecution that not nuly were the men underpaid, but that they worked a great deal of overtime, for which no pavment was made, and also that they did rtot get the weekly half-holiday nor pay_ a.t overtime ra.tes. The Bench ordered defendant to pay the arrears, amounting to £9 5s, together with coats. LLANDYSSUL FARM WORKERS' WAGES. At I/lanfihangeLar-Arth ^t week.

PROFITABLE CHEESE- MAKING. THE SURPLUS MILK PROBLEM. By E. T. BROWN. A glut of milk is reported from several parts of the country, notably some of the southern counties, and in many cases, in spite of the towns' crying Aeed of it, it las simply been poured away. There is a better way of getting rid of it than this and one to which far too little attention is given by farmers. Milk in itself can- not be stored against the lean days to come, but milk can be made into cheese, and cheese will keep till required. It is* a crime to throw away foodstuffs at a time like the present in the farmers' interest and in the interest of the nation every drop of milk that is not required must be kept for future use in the form of cheese. HOW TO MAKE CAERPHILLY CHEESE. Here are a few practical hints to help the farmer. One of the simplest and most I nourishing hard cheeses that can be made is that known as Caerphilly. Some sort of vat or vessel is necessary to hold the milk, while a thermometer, a supply of rennet extract, a, little sour milk or starter, measuring glasses, curd knives long enough to reach to the bottom of the vat or tub, and Caerphilly moulds, are the first essentials. Raise the milk to a temperature of 84 degrees Fahr. and if sweet add from i to pint of the starter, stirring this well in. Add at the rate of 1 drachm, diluted with three or four times its volume of pure cold water, to every four gallons of milk, and mix it thoroughly with the milk by stirring. Take care not to stir longer than about three minutes, however, or curdling may take place before the milk has ceased to move, and this will result in the quality of the cheese being impaired. Next cover over the cheese tub to allow the milk to curdle for about 45 minutes. At the end of this time it should split with a clean fracture when the finger or the end of a thermometer is inserted just under the surface and lifted up. It will then be ready for cutting. This should be done length- Ways and crossways with the curd knife, so that the curd is cut into cubes of about i in. in size. Then gently stir the eurd from the bottom and sides of the vat for five or six minutes before com- mencing to raise the temperature. Scalding, as it is termed, is performed by removing some of tho whey from tiie vat, heating it to 110 degrees and return- ing it to the vat so as to raise the tem- perature of the whole to 92 degrees Fahr., the curd being kept stirred in the whey meanwhile. Stir for a few minutes after scalding until the curd appears fairly firm but not too dry. If the cubes of curd when split open contain no spaces filled with whey the curd will then be fit for pitching," or in other words it may be allowed to settle. TESTING. A piece of curd should be squeezed dry in the hand, held against a testing iron, heated to a dull red heat, and gently drawn away from it, when if threads of curd one-eighth of an inch in lengtu are obtained the whey may be run off. The curd is then shovelled into a cloth and left to drain for twenty minutes, when it is cut and turned. When one inch threads are obtainable on testing with the hot iron the curd may be broken up with the fingers to the size of walnuts, salted at the rate of 1 oz. to every three lb. of curd, and allowed to cool to 75 degrees Fahr. before being moulded. The mould should be lined with a cheese cloth, and the curd fiJIed into it with the largest pieces of curd in the middle and the smallest towards the sides, so as to en- courage the formation of a firm coat on the cheese. Do not press the cheese until three hours have elapsed after moulding, and then give sufficient pressure to make the i whey run. Turn the cheese in tlie even- j ing and leave overnight under a pressure of 15 cwts. Reverse the cheese again in j the morning, press for two or three hours, then remove and grease the out- side with lard, finally bandaging with chease calico. The cheese is now ready for ripening and should be turned twice daily for the first week, and kept at a temperature of 60 degrees Fahr. After- i wards one turning daily will be sufficient, and the cheese will be ready for eating in from four to six weeks. ;1:1" k"xiLiii-.eLl from previous column.) summoned by Mr. A. Cé.\n' WilHiams, inspector of the Agricultural Wages Board, on each of three counte for paying their workmen, Ebenezar Williams and Evan Lloyd, less thau the minimum wage. Mr. Thomas (Messrs Thomas and Jones. Llandyssul) defended. The three summonses in respect of Evan Lloyd were subsequently withdrawn, as he j was being paid the minimum wage. Witih regard to the case of Ebenezer Williams, the ,D,r decern tiling s Jicitor pleaded guilty to a techni- cal offeme^ This man is 68 years of age and denf, and is obviously incapable of earning the minimum wage. The defendants ought to have obtained a permit of exemption, which would allow tham to employ Williams t a wage less than the minimum. For the prosecution it was pointed out that he was paid 10s cash a week, together with six days' board per week, and certain allow- ances of milk and potatoes. This represented a. weekly wage of 23s. 5id.. whereas his minimum wage should have bosn 37s 6d. per week. The Bepach fined defendants £1 in each of the three cases, and ordered payment of the arrears on the tjhree summonses, which amounted to S2 4s 9d., the Bench holding that the man had his own remedy to sue for any ofclier arrears due to him in the County OD-urt. THE FISHERIES IN NORTH WALES. Torwards the end of last month her- rings had appeared at Moelfre and boats fitted with motors are doing well. An app- lication has been received by the Fisheries Division of the Board for a. loan for the in- stallation of a nvrtcr engine in a fishing boat at Deganwy. The applicant intends to set up exrer'metntal herring drifting which has not been practised in North Wa'es for twenty yea-rs past. The experiment may have a far- reaching effect on the fisheries in this dfetriat should it prove successful.

Painful Gun Accident. SAD AFFAIR AT BORTH. A painful sensation occurred at Borth on Thursday when it became known that a visitor named John Herbert Morgan had been in- volved in a shooting tragedy whilst out rabbiting. The circumstances were elucidated at the inquest held at Brynowon on Friday, before the Coroner (Mr. John f.- tns) and a ¡' jury of whom the Rev. D. Caron Jones was foremast. The body was identified by Robert Roderick, of Rona House, who stated that deceased was his brother-in-law. He was a qualified chemist and iived at, the Pharmacy, Ystradmynach, Glamorgan. His age was thirty .eight and he had bden staying with witness for the past three weeks on a holiday. On Thursday afternoon witness and deceased went out rabbiting on the Frongoch fields and they were eventually joined by Mr Morris Benjamin. Witness did not carry a gun, but deceased and Mr. Benjamin had guns. About 3-30 witness and Mr. Benjamin were standing close to Henllvs wood and at that time deceased was standing in a gap in the hedge, handling the gun ag if he was about to slioot a rabbit. Almost immediately afterwards they heard a gun shot and, thinking that the deceased had shot something, they went towards him. On arrival at the gap in the hedge they found deceased lying flat on the ground with a poi- tion of his skull blown -off. He was quite dead. The Coroner-Do you know whether the deceased was accustomed to handling guns?— No; I couldn't say Was he in any financial or other trouble?— Not as far as I know. What was his usual condition P—He was in fairly g6od health and always in good spirits. Was there any reason to suppose that he was depressed?—Not the slightest. Foreman of the Jury—Do you know whether he had been in the army?—No. As he was the only qualified chemist in the town lie was exempted. Was the gun in good order?—Yes. A Juryman—What sort of a gun was it?-It was an ordinary sing e barrel breech-loader. Mr. Morris Benjamin, in corroborating tlio last witness, said that in the part where deceased stood just before the accident there was a good deal of brushwood and stuff which might have caused the deceased to trip and fire the gun. When witness saw the deceased he was lying on his back with his head point- ing towards thd hede. A portion of his skull was blown off and his brains were scat- tered about. The Coroner—Where was the gun lying?- Witness: The stock of the gun was between his legs and the barrel was lying on the body pointing towards his head. The Coroner, in summing UD, said it was a very sad case, and the evidence of tliose with him at the time there was no reason to doubt. There waa not the least evidence point- ing to suicide. The deceased, who was thirty* ight, years of age, was in the prime of his life and tne owner of a oaCC.("l wmin»c. In fact, he had everything to look forward to and showed no desire to escape from anything. It was possib e for anybody who was not care- ful with a gun to have an accident by getting the gun caught in the brambles. There was plenty of evidence in this case to say that the affair was an accident. The Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death" and expressed sympathy with the f amily. The Coroner, in associating himself with the vote of sympathy, said they all deeply re- gretted the untimely end of a. life which to a'l appearances showed a bright and prosper- ous future. THE FUNERAL. The funeral of the deceased took place on Saturday at Penygarn Cemetery. The cliiftf mourners were three of the deceaseds brothers. Mr Richard J. Morgan, chemist O)f King's Cross, London; the Rev. James t. Morgan, minister of the Forward Movement Church, Trdh-arries, Glam.; Mr William L Morgan, of Que^ai's.road, London, N. and Mr Robert Roderick, brotlier-in-law, "Rona," Borth.
