THE OUTLOOK.
THE OUTLOOK. What with preparing for the coming Christ- maa and the intervale of blusterous wet weather, outdoor farming has been mostly at a standstill during the last fortnight. Ploughing on the heavy soils lias been almost impracticable, but fair progress has been made on the whole, and the check caused by the dry weather after the harvest has been moetly regained, the broken-up soils being ready for the mellowing influences of the frosts and snows of winter, which, if they como in due season, will tend to the destruction of insect pests. Since the snow- storm it has been impossible to complete wheat sowing, aa the newly-pioughcd land will not permit of horses being put on. It ÍB one of the disappointments, and at the same time most annoying, to have a field three parts sown and not to be able to complete the operation for many days, it may be weeks; but that iB one of the experiences of the present sewon. Early sown plots are shewing well in the drills, though looking none too bright in colour and rather a weakly "blade." Later eecdings are not yet making an appearance, though many have been in the ground for nearly a month, the earth lacking any stored warmth of summer sunshine. The seed has been too long in germinating, and it becomes questionable whether much, if not the bulk, will not rot in the ground, or at most bring forth but a sickly and impoverished braird. The young plants, when they do come, will need the protection of a snowfall to preserve them into the early spring. Pastures are now mostly too wet for stock, except on high and well- drained gravelly subsoils, ae their "treading" would mean more rolling, and consequently more expense, in the spring. Potatoes lifted in dry weather are keeping well, as arc also the swedes up to the present. The Liverpool and District Cowkocpers Asso- ciation do not like to be classed with those who hawk milk in open cans in backyards. Mr. Backhouse made the point quite clear on Wed- nesday at the North Havmarket, on the occa- sion of the 28th annual show of Christmas and Dairy Cattle. That kind of milk-selling, he remarked, led to contamination from ashpits and tho dust which came from the door-mat and carpet"shaking? It was better to deliver the milk at. the front door. and he was glad to see that the medical officer was aiive to the danger of "back-entry" work. An egg merchant and importer, named Simon Schwartz. of Commercial-street. Spitalfieklo, London, was last, week fined £100 and ten guineas costs for having on his premises a mass of "liquid," eggs in a state of putrefaction in casks, intended for sale in the manipulation of human food. An instance is quoted in connection with the Small Ho!dings Act. shewing that in some parts at least peasants are not keen on the land hunger. It was at Norfolk. The County Council has acquired 129 acres for division into small bo'dintrs, but it is said there na<3 not been a single applicant for a lease. Probably some- thing is required to be known as to the locality and nature of the land, as it is quite possible for oounty councils to acquire land in places where it would be of no practical use for small holdings. The Cheshire Agricultural bociety are to receive acknowledgment next show season from the Shorthorn Society in the shape of a prize of 210 for the beet shorthorn bull calved in 1907, located in the district of the Cheshire Society. A £10 prize will also be given as a premier award (the Cheshire Society to provide the second) in a class of pedigree shorthorn dairy cows, in milk, four years old and upwards. THE VAYNOL ESTATE SALE. At the second day's sale of properties on the Vaynol estate, in Lleyn Promontory, held at Pwllheli Town Hall last week, there was again a crowded attendance. The auctioneers, Messrs. Dew and Son, were assisted in the sale by Mr. Alexander, of Cardiff. The lots, which num- bered over thirty, were largely purchased by tho tenants, but many were withdrawn, not reaching the reserve, but several were after- wards disposed of privately. The two days' sales realised close upon £ 36,000. ALARM AS TO BIRMINGHAM MILK. It hae been reserved to Dr. Robertson, medical officer of health for Birmingham, to discover an alleged startling state of affairs in connection with the milk supply of the hardware village. It ia stated that the doctor has for long been giving close attention to the question, and he reports that 14 per cent. of the milk &ent into the city contains the living infection of tuber- culosis. There is a strong feeling in official circles that the present statutory powers pos- sessed by local authorities in connection with the inspection of cowsheds, etc., outside their boundaries are too limited to admit of the evil being satisfactorily grappled with, and the Health Committee, it is added, have informa- tion pointing to the existence of strong grounds for disquiet as regards the milk supply of other large towns, particularly Leeds, Sheffield, Man- chester and Liverpool. The question is regarded as of such urgency that negotiations are forth- with to be opened with the authorities of the lowiirt named, with a view of securing tome joint representation to the Government on the need for enlarging the powers of municipalities. It is held that a question of such far-reaching concern can be more satisfactorily dealt with on national lines than by local bodies proceeding individually. ENGLISH EGGS FOR AMERICA. The Central News says that English dairy farmers who are in a position to export eggs in large quantities have a golden opportunity before them, in view of the high prices being asked in New York for American eggs. Three ediiilingo a dozen, according to information re- ceived in London, is quite a general figure, and several New York mcrcliants have arranged to import one or two experimental consignments of English eggs. The first of them, which was recently carried by the White Star liner Majestic, consisted of 1,327 cases, holding in all 4,552,112 eggs; and, although a duty of 5 cente. per dozen has to be reckoned with, it is believed the ex- periment will be a success. It ie interesting to note that the Majestic's cargo of eggs was the first consignment of the kind that has been sent to America from England in modern shipping industry. THE VALUE OF LIVE STOCK. The annual report of the Farmers' Club, sub- mit-ted at the meeting held at the Hotel Metro- pole on Monday evening, under the presidency of Mr. Harold Howard, shewed a totai mem- bership of 921, compared with 907 a year ago. surplus of assets^over liabilities, though lower than last year, still stood at the handsome sum of £ 1,684. 2s. Id. A paper read by Mr. Alfred Mansell, of Shrewsbury, on "The Value of the Live Stock of the Farm," evoked con- siderable interest. In it he shewed how the statistics of recent years demonstated that the British farmer's main income was now derived from live stock and animal produce, and how seriously that market was assailed from outside. The ordinary farmer, to be successful, must breed or feed the very best, whether of pedigree or commercial stock. The breeder of pedigree stock would always have a good foreign demand, as no matter how much the pedigree stock of the worid was improved, they would always have to come to the old country to maintain the char- acter and high quality of the respective breeds. Legislation could aid the farmer by maintaining in their integrity the present regulations on the import of live stock; by maintaining regu- lations to prevent as far as possible the fraudu- lent 6alo of imported meat as English; and by taking more draptic steps to eradicate cheep scab, and to prevent the sale of shoddy goods as woollen. A discussion followed, but in spite of several appeals, Earl Carrington, who was present, declined to speak, remarking that he had attended as a listener. GLANDERS: IMPORTANT NOTICE. Under an order of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, entitled the Glanders or Farcy Order of 1907, which comes into force on the 1st January, 1908, no horse, ass or mule brought to Great Britain from any country except Ireland, the Channel Islands, or the Islo of Man is to be landed in Great Britain unless it is ac- companied by a certificate of a veterinary surgeon to the effect that he examined the animal imme- diately before it embarked or while it was on board the vessel, as the caso may be, and that he found that the animal did not shew symptoms of glanders or farcy. As regards importation into Ireland or the Channel Islands, intending exporters of animals from Great Britain should communica.t.o in the first instance with (1) the Secretary, Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for Ireland, Upper Merrion-street, Dublin; (2) the Piers and Har- bours Committee of the States of Jersey, Greffe Office, Royal Square, St. Heliers, Jersey; or (3) the Supervisor, Guernsey, as the case may be, with a view to ascertaining the steps to be taken to comply with the regulations of the Government concerned. SHORTHORNS AND MILK RECORDS. At a meeting of the Council of tho Dairy Shorthorn (Goalee Herd-Book) Association, held at the Agricultural Hall, Mr. E. Wodehouse drew attention to the existing judges' instruc- tions at shows, and said that there appeared to be a tendency to pay too much attention to milk and not sufficient to size, quality, and general excellence of the animal itself. He did not think the object of the association would be fur- thered by awarding their prizes to animals which had little else to recommend them than their udders. An animal with milk alone was not much use to the breeder of pedigree cattle. Although he had always regarded milk as a sine qua non in his herd, he was not a believer in the five or six gallon cow, with simply a milk record to recommend her. He thought that the prizes of the association should go to the 4g gallon cow with a sweet head, good horns, even fieah, and shewing quality all over—an animal which would breed a bull which was fit for export, and also to go into any herd at home. Mr. Adeane suggested that they should add to the instructions to judges the words: Regard should also be paid to the type and character of pure bred shorthorns." It was agreed that this suggestion should be considered at the next meeting of the council. It was decided to give £ 90 in prizes at forthcoming summer shows, as compared with £ 60 last year. A small com- mittee was appointed to consider questions in connection with the publishing of milk records. SHEEP BREEDERS AND SHEEP SCAB ORDERS. At the annual meeting of the National Sheep Breeder*' Association, held at the Agricultural Hall, London, under the presidency of Mr. James Flower, the annual report and balance- sheet, which were satisfactory, were adopted, and Mr. Herbe rt Pad wick (Southdown Society) was elected president for the ensuing year.—Mr. A. Amos moved a resolution to the effect that the Board of Agriculture should be asked to amend the Sheep Scab Order, so "that no sheep shall be sent to any market or sale after they have been shorn (or, in the case of their not being shorn, after August 1) until they have been dipped; or, in the case of fat sheep or fat lambs for daughter, they shall only be accepted provided thero is a liver down the back and across the loins, signifying that they are to be slaughtered within ten days." An amendment was moved in the following terms: "That the National Sheep Breeders' Association is of opinion that sheep scab will not be effectively eradicated until the owner of scabby sheep is penalised after due notice of the enactment of the Order." One of the speakers pointed out that a great danger of taking sheep from this country to the Colonies came from sheep ecab. Several members expressed, themselves in favour of strong measures, so as to get rid of the d:sca.s>e, while others thought the penalty should only be inflicted after the owner had had due notice to get rid of the scab. The amendment was carried.
TRAINLOADOF CHESHIRE CHEESE…
TRAINLOADOF CHESHIRE CHEESE • A somewhat unusual sight was witnessed at Broxton Railway Station on Saturday morning (Deo. 7th), when a huge trainloa.d of Cheshire cthooso left Messrs. Bambor and Sons' Broxton warehouse for Bradford. It was a special train composed of 23 vans, containing 1,720 large cheese, which weighed in the aggregate no less than 50 tons. The cheese thus consigned in- eluded, among other prize eheeee from the re- cent Whitchurch show., the first prize and gold medal lot in class 1, first prizes in classes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8, these cheese numbering about 80, and had been purchased at from JE5 to £10 2s. 6d. per cwt and in addition there were a number of first prize cheese from the Nantwich and Market Drayton shows, including the gold medal lot from Nantwioh. There were also nine silver challenge cups, including the Whit- church, Chester and Nantwich cups, and others given by firms, and 17 gold and silver medals. All these valu-ztblcs (except the Whitchurch cup, which was sent to Bradford by post) were put in the charge of Inspector Dyson (L. and N.-W. Railway. Shrewsbuiy), and were conveyed wtih the cheese to Messrs. Driver, of Bradford. We understand that Mr. Driver is arranging for one of the finest exhibitions of Cheshire cheese ever known. The cheese is to be paraded round Bradford on forty lurries, suitably decorated with holly berries, etc., and subsequently taken to a Large exhibition room. We understand that this is the third special cheese train sent by Messrs. Bambor to the Bradford firm this year.—"Whitchurch Herald." We have received a oopy of a handbill which Messrs. Drivers have published, announcing the great exhibition of over 50 tons of Cheshire chcese> and shewing by illustration the special train with. its groat consignment of cheese from Messrs. Bambcr. The retail price is announced at Sd. psr lb. CHESHIRE'S BEST DAIRYMAID. Under this heading tho "Bradford Daily Telegraph" of Thursday last published a photo of Mrs. Harry Denson, of Poulton, at work cheese-making, also the following ae.iole:- Denson has carried off the blue ribbon as Cheshire's cho'cost cheese-maker at all tho cheese shows this year. She has won the gold mc-dal and silver challenge cup at Whitchurch, gold medal at Chester, and gold medal at Nant- wich. Also challenge cup given by his Grace the Duke of Westminster, for finest cheese shewn at Chester Agricultural Show. Also challenge cup for best Cheshire cheese shewn at Wirral and Birkenhead Show. Also chal- lenge punch bowl given by OhaJIinOT, Rowson and Challinor for the winner of the three gold medals. The total amount of prize-money won by Mrs. Denson during this year is L162, in addition to the above go'd medals and cups. Denson's is one of the many noted prize dairies now on view at Driver's Christmas Cheese Exhibition in W-esigato, Bradford." The same paper publishes the following in- teresting story about King Alfonso at Eaton, for tho accuracy of which we cannot vouch:- "It was close to Denson's farm that the King of Spain a fortnight ago, while hunting with the Duke of Westminster's pack, lost his way, and. meeting Mr. and Mrs. Denson, made en- quiries, and was directed back to the Hall. Ho staved a few momenta to chat about Cheshire and its cheese-making, and after expiring his delight with the glorious country, shook hands and rode off."

LITTLE SUTTON UNIONISTS. +
LITTLE SUTTON UNIONISTS. + WORKINGMEN'S CLUB OPENED. ENTHUSIAST-C PROCEEDINGS. Tuesday last will long be remembered with satisfaction and p: iJo by the Unionists in and around this district, to- this was the day that the Little Sutton Conservative Workingmen's Club was formally opened, and the ambition of many was realised. It will bo remembered that about the middle of October a meeting of thoso interested v. as called for the purpose of considering the question of a club for the district, and the result was a unanimous vote in favour. A strong body of officers were at onoo elected, the president being Mr. A. S. Collard; vice-presidents, Messrs. R. L. Brad- ley, W. Duckworth, H. A. Hardy, J. E. Har- rison, H. A. Latham, H. W. Nott, and R. Williams; h<m. treasurer, Mr. J. Hopley; hon. secretary, Mr. A. E. Williams; assistant hon. sec., Mr H. A. Hardy; chairman of committee, Mr. J. Beddoes; executive com- mittee, Messrs. C. A. Bean, J. Beddoes, T. Bowyer, W, Duckworth, H. A. Hardy, J. W. Higgins, J. Hopley. H. R. Latham, A. E. Williams and H. Wright. The committee at once set to work and made arrangements for the use of the olub-room adjoining the Red Lion Hotel. This hae been transformed into a really comfortable room, the extensive alterations necessary having been expeditiously carried out by Mr W. Williams. A billiard table has been provided, also a miniature rifle range, and in rather less than two months the committee were able to make arrangements for the opening whioh, as stated, took place on Tuesday evening The chair was taken by the president (Mr. Collard), who was supported by, among others., Messrs. H. A. Latham, C. A. Bean, R. Williams, R. L. Bradley, A. Birkiett, Marsh, etc. The company, num- bering about 120, partook of an excellent hot- pot supper, served by Mr. W. Duckworth, after which the usual loyal toasts were honoured. The Chairman said this was a memorable occasion for Little Sutton and the Conservative cause locally. Tho work of obtaining the room had been done entirely by the working men, and although not go large as some cluL- rooms, he felt sure tha.t it would be second te none in Wirral, and (h0 members would do their full share of work for tho cause. 1: gave him great pleasure to take the chair ane meet so many workingmen Conservatives. 1 was the beginning of a great day for Littk Sutton, and he felt sure that the memberc. who had worked so hard for the last t. months,- were satisfied with their work. The;, would appreciate what had been done, and no forget the purpose for whioh it was opened. He had much pleasure in opening the room, and asked all to drink tho toast of the Con&er- vative cause o: Little Sutton. Mr. Latham was pleaded to see so mi, happy faces there. This was an age, of sui prises The Liberals would be surprised a there being so many Co>)serva.t.\ o membc; (thero are about 125 members, and member- are still bolr, enrolled). They would hr; that Conservatism was not dead, but vc:. much alive, and this club would be second i. none in working for the cause. It was a ere to tho district-, and more so as it was inaml, due- to the efforts of the workingmen. Tlier. were 1101 many wealthy men present tha evening, but they would come to the club, an. all would stand on an equal footing and wor: for the cause. He hoped that at the nc:, election tho efforts of the club would be enoug. to remove the Liberal member and return on of their own party. He had much pleasure i supporting the toast of the good old Conserve tivo cause. Mr. Bean said they must not forget tho;: who had subscribed so liberally to the fund His opin;on was that the club would alwLt\ seive to keep the advantages of the Conserve tive cause in their mind, as against Socialise He then referred to a gentleman whom, hesr.ii they all knew, and who ought to bo their cee didate. On being requested to name him, gave the name of Mr. Collard. (Lcud ar; continued applause.) He feJt sure he was tn man for them. They knew him, and mal, more had heard of him. Mr. Collard, who had a tremendous gre-ee ing, rose to say that he was perfectly sans fled to be a humble worker in this division He had no ambition or desire to become the: member. Hds only interest was in the party and, therefore he must say that he could n. allow his name to be put forward as a cand date. Mr. Marsh then gay; the 'Wirral Conserve tive Asso nation," and advised all to stick their guns, and turn the scales in their favoe at the next election. Mr. A. BirkeU, in responding, cor.grate at the next election. Mr. A. BirkeU, in responding, corlgnn lated the.1 upon the step they had taken i establishing the club It was most encoura; ing to find such a healthy spirit growing i Wirral. Ho was glad to find such a revival a this end of the division, as was evidenced b the clubs at Ell-sn.,cre Port and here. lie we afraid they often took politics as a matter o oouree. Thc'l' defeat had taught them a lesse and it was incumbent for them to do sonu thing for tie Conservative cause. The revue was very much amjng the working class. F hoped they would soon have a candidale it the field, and be was sure they could rely e the support of this district. Mr. R. Williams, in giving 'Their Prc: dent," said he was a man of whom they wen all proud. ThorS was not such another work- for the good of the cause as their president He it was who soved the seed for the club a. the Port, also their own, and he was now pro sent to see the harvest. They were iradec*' proud of him, and with such a president am worker they need have no fear, and he wv: well supported by a band of loyad workers. Mr. Matrsden said the club could congratu- late them-ac-lves with such a president. II. predicted vha-t the club would be a giganti; success. Mr. Collard thanked the meetin.g for then kind opinion of him. He appealed to them t< maintain tho good old cause. They had man.1 forces to fight against The health of the oommitaee was next given, and special reference made to the untirme efforts of the chairman, Mr. J. Beddoes and the hon. sec., Mr. A E. Willianis. During the evening soogs were given by Messrs. R. T. W. Allen, C. A. Bean, J Shipley, G. E. Marsden. A. E. Marsden and J. Bishop The proceed- ings terminated with choors for the president, followed by the National Anthem. —

Mrs. Emma Julia Cooke, of Bryn Alyn, Mold and formerly of Owston, Yorkshire, and of Gwysaney, Flint, left estate valued for probate at £ 5,177.. The Duke of Westminster has hired his ex- oellent shire stallion Phenomenon III. to the Louth (Lincolnshire) and District Shire Horse Society for the 1908 season. At the Christmas fat stock show at Proston on Tuesday Mr. Yerburgh carried off first, and second prize-s for West Highland heifer, and the "Proston Herald" cup for the best pair of animals in the show. SUTTON'S AMATEUR'S G UIDE.-From a copy of the edition for 1908, now before us, it is obvious that this work is indispensable to pro- fessional and amateur gardeners for the assistance it renders in the selection of varieties, and for the terse but lucid cultural suggestions it contains. Hundreds of photographs enhance its value and make the publication a reliable portrait gallery of charming flowers and delicious vegetables. In the opening pages devoted to peas, the illustra- tions of giant pods, all of modern introduction, present a most tempting appearance. The lists of other vegetables are similarly adorned. Even such unpromising subjects as beet, cabbage, onion, afford artistic pictures, to say nothing of the value of these vegetables as healthful table dainties. The groups of potatoes will not fail to arrest attention, and the list is a reminder of the large number of important varieties originated and distributed by the great Reading firm. SUCCESSFUL WHIST DRIVE.—A most successful whist drive was organised by the Chester and North Wales Commercial Travel- lers' Association, at the Holborn Restaurant, Chester, on Friday evening. There was an attendance of about sixty or seventy, and a most enjoyable even.ing was spent. After the drive a few dances were gone through, and the company dispersed about eleven o'clock. The otewards were: Messrs. R. Milla (president), D. E. Evans (president- elect), J. Hill Joncis, Thomas Owen, H. M. I Stone, At 0. Su-ntev, H. Price (vice-president- elect), the last-named gentleman acting aa hoxi. secretary.
