Friendly Football. "Sport" sends the following account of friendly football matches A friendly match was played on the Soldiers", Gymkhana on May 20tb, when the Devon Gunners turned out a strong side against Brecon Co., Brecknookshire Battalion, S.W.B. The latter Bide, since the arrival of the draft and one or two transfers on promotion, has been considerably strengthened, and they were on this occasion able to give a couple of their old hands a rest which they well deserve. The teams lined up under Sergt.-Major C. Green as follows:— Gonners,—Goal, Dennis backs, Sberwell and Stevenson halves, Dean, Head andf Worth forwards, Sims, Stevens, Playal, Tucker and Vickery. Brecon Co.—Goal, Pte. F. T. Lewis backs, Lnce.-Corpl. J. F. Phillips and Pte. L. lium. phreys halves, Ptes. H. H. Price, A. J. Tborogood and Smith forwards, Pte. C. J. Jones, Lnce.-Corpl. J. T. Williams, Sergt. J. Powell, Ptes. Woods and Edwards. Tracks were at once made for Dennis, who was called upon to clear. The ball was kept in mid-field for some time, when Jones got away on the right and swung in what would have been a good centre had not the wind carried the ball just over the bar. From the goal kick Shetwell put ap the field to Yickety. Smith beat him for the ball and pot to Edwards, who centred. Powell trapped, shot and opened the scoring. Some few minotes later, from a smart run on the Gunners' left Playal, when well placed, put inches over the bar. Shortly after J. T. W. (Tim) wriggled tbroagh tbe defence and notched number two. This second reverse acted like magic on the Gunners, and they showed some very neat combination, but the Brecon halves, who were working well, spoilt some really good move- ments. A little later the Devon men's efforts were rewarded. Playal received from well out, ran through and scored a nice shot. Sbortly after the same player had the hardest lack imagineable, patting over the bar from six yards out. Half-time Breoon Co. 2 goals, Gunners 1. The second half was very even and well contested play was keen but clean. Both defences were playing a sound game and consequently there was no further score. Final Brecon Co. 2 goals, GannerB 1 goal. Information has just come to baud that the detachment of the Brecfcnocksbires Stationed

I\ EGG PRODUCTION IN TOWN…
EGG PRODUCTION IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. í The President of the Board of Agriculture has issued the following circular I In view of the importance of producing as large a supply of eggs as possible, the President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries desires to promote poultry-keeping among householders in both urban and rural districts. A small number of laying hens can be kept most economically as an adjunct to the ordinary household, and the extension of this practice would in course of time add appreciably to the available supply. Many householders are deterred from keeping poultry by the fear of protests from neighbours, and others are forbidden to keep poultry under the terms of a tenancy. In such cases the crowing of the cock and the cackling of the beps are the chief causes of protest or prohibition, and it is therefore necessary to emphasize the fact that where eggs are wanted for eating the introduction of a male bird is a disadvantage. The cock has no appreciable influence on the number of eggs laid, and, for domestic purposes, sterile eggs are to be preferred to fertile eggs. Objections to keeping poultry in the backyard or suburban garden would seldom be raised if the birds were kept in small numbers, as far removed as possible from adjacent dwelling houses, if the house and run were kept clean and if no cock was present. In fairness to the interests of others, those who contemplate keeping poultry in urban districts should observe these condi- tions if they do so neighbours should suffer little or no inconvenience, and, in the common interest, should raise no objection. If six or eight healthy pullets of a good laying strain are purchased, they can be fed at very little cost by the judicious use of garden reiuse, house-scraps, bran or pollard and grain. I In rural districts the number of birds which a cottager can keep is generally limited by the size of his garden. He might rear more chickens and increase his flock if he could obtain permission to run his poultry over adjoining land. With a better range the birds could be kept more economically and they would also tend to improve the grass land over which they foraged. Where suitable land adjoins his holding, the cottage poultry keeper should endeavour to obtain permission to use it, and, if necessary, he might pay a small fee for doing so. A definite and business-like pro- posal should be made. as for example that so many adult fowls or so many chickens and no more shall be run over the land; that the means of approach specified by the owner shall be used that fences shall not be broken; that the field shall be entered only when it is necessary to attend to the poultry, and that the house or houses shall be moved periodically to fresh ground. If permission is granted the conditions laid down should be strictly observed and then there can be no objection to poultry ranging over suitable land adjoining the cottage. Land owners and farmers will give valuable aid to the industry by meeting such requests in a friendly spirit."

IT IS DIFFERENT -quite different-after taking a few dopes of Beeobam's Pills. The low-spirited condition caused by derangement of the digestive organs gives place to a welcome sensation of bright- ness and better tone the depression whiob accompanies many forms of dyspeptic tronble is banished, and a feeling of oheerfolness comes in its stead. In fact, people who take Beecbam's Pills generally find their spirits im. proved and their interest in life stimulated AFTER USING this remarkably efficacious medicine. Beecbam's Pills make all the difference I The reason of this pleasant change is perfectly clear. Beeobam's Pills have been specially prepared to act npou the important organs which govern the function of digestion, and which, when out of order, are the cause of so much discomfort and so many ailments. That Beeoham's Pills do what they were designed to do, and do it admirably, is abundantly proved by their enormous sale and changeless popu- larity. It is well to remember, therefore, that dyspeptic depression disappears and the outlook grows brighter after taking Beecham's PiUs Sold everywhere in boxes, labelled la 3d and 88 Odj GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS (JORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS IKORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GSORGE S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEOR fE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS, GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE & GRAVEL PILLS GEORGE'S PILE IIr.

-----SPORT WITH THE BRECKNOCKS.
at Dalhousie, a depot in the hills for the hot weather, have been making things how. In a match against the Dorsets, who are I believe, a very good side, they played a draw of no goals. In a game with the Devonshire", who I am given to understand are an unbeaten side and the beet the station can produce, the Welshmen ran DOt winners by two goals to one. Stars in this match were Hall, in goal, who was as safe as ever, the goal that beat him giving him no chance, and R. C. Price, who at left back was on top form, never having played a better game. The perfect understanding between W. Powell and J. Davies (.Cherry) was also a feature of the game. They showed some goo l fooiball, and it was their combined efforts that. brought about the downfall of the Devons.
