AGRICULTURE AND ITS PRODUCTS. t OFFICIAL APPRECIATION OF I MONMOUTHSHIRE. The annual dairy competitions for gold, silter, and bronze medals promoted by the Monmouthshire County Council Agricultural Committee, together with the competitive dis- play of produce, were held at Newport Cattle Market on Friday. The event was larger and more important than ever before, there being so extensive a show of apples that an extra length of permanent shedding had to be requisitioned. In the afternoon there was a large gather- ing at the Temperanoe-hall, for the distnibu- tion of the chief awards. Alderman S. N. Jones, chairman of the agricultural educa- tion committee, presided, and was supported by Viscount Tredegar. Sir Thomas Elliott, K.C.B. (secretary to the Board of Agricul- tare). Colonel Courtenay Morgan, Mr. L. Forestier-Walker. Mr. and Mrs. Addams- Williams, Mr. Isaac Butler (high-sheriff). Mr. W. P. James tchairman of the county council), Mr. Charles D. Phillips, the Mayor of Newport (Mr. J. H. Williams), Mr. T. E. Watson, and many others. Mr. W. J. Grant, the director of agricul- tural education, in the course of his report stated that the subjects taken up during.the year included arboriculture, basket-making, j practical dairy instruction, hedging, cider J and perry making, veterinary science, pasture experiments, potato experiments, poultry, beekeeping, cheesemaking, milk testing, horse shoeing. milking. school gardens, sheep shearing, sterilising and; bottling fruit. Mr. Grant mentioned that the young lady who last year won the gold medal in the dairy competition at Newport { also secured the champion prize jn one of the biggest milking classes ever held, and won the silver medal offered by the British Dairy Farmers' Association. Sir Thomas Elliott, who distributed the prizes in the chief dairy classes, delivered an interesting address. He claimed that there was much of interest and importance in the agriculture of Monmouthshire, in which there were 5,100 small holdings and about 1.500 large holdings, about 14.000 horses, over 50,000 head of cattle, a quarter of a million of sheep, and about 14.000 pigs. There never was a time when the position of the agricultural community had a brighter out- look than at present. and he had nothing but admiration for the way in wh.ch agriculturists had surmounted the difficulties which had confronted them. He asked agri- culturists generally to be patient in the matter of restrictions which the Board of Agriculture had to impose, especially in the removal of stock to avoid the spread of removal of stock to avoid the spread of disease. There had of late years been five or six inroads of foot-and-mouth disease in this country, and but for the energy and the capacity of the officers of the Board of Agri- culture that disease would have spread throughout the kingdom. The board was becoming the great publishing department of the State, circulating a million and a half leaflets a year. Sir Thomas remarked that agriculturists in Monmouthshire had special reason to be thankful for the help the county council was giving them. (Hear, hear.) He thought there was. something still to be done in the matter of obtaining a larger yield of milk from cows, and in his judgment there was still an untouched market in poul- try and bottled fruit. (Applause.) It was also rery important that farmers should cultivate the spirit of co-operation. (Hear, hear.) Viscount Tredegar. in proposing a Tote of thanks to Sir Thomas Elliott, said he was glad a deputation from the county council that day had evoked the sympathy and assistance of Sir Thomas in the matter of the oubreak of glanders amongst horses. In the matter of education there were some things which a dull mortal like himself could not grasp. Only that morning- he was asking an agricultural student how he got on in his examination. and he replied that he could not understand the last question- how to add 41b. of butter to four o'clock. (Laughter.) Whilst he was in the exhibition that day he remarked to one person-he must have been an Irishman—upon the size of the potatoes, and said he liked smaller ones. The reply was, "There are certain subjects which are much too serious to joke about." (Laughter.) A vote of thanks was also accorded to Lord Tredegar for the use of the cattle market for the show. This was proposed by Mr. W. P. James, the chairman of the county council, and seconded by Alderman Henry Bowen, Tredegar, the latter remark- ing that he believed if the committee had asked for the use of Tredegar House they would have had it. The judges and the chairman were also thanked for their services. Mrs. Forestier-Walker entertained the whole company present to tea. The ladies winning the medals for dairy- work were:-Gold, Miss Lettie Davies, Tre- owen, Chepstow; silver, Miss Ada Rogers, Uwynderri. Raglan; bronze, Mis3 Flo Price, Village Farm, Penhow; reserve. Miss Edith James, Llancayo.

HORSES FOR THE ARMY. f- LOW PRICES PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT. The twenty-fifth annual fat stock show a.t Bridgend on Saturday again attracted a large number interested in agriculture and j stock-breeding- The quality of the exhibits was better than last* year, the root classes being especially strong. Championship honours went to Mr. Rees Thomas, Boverton Court, for a 21-year-old polled Angus, which has already taken twelve first prizes this year. Mr. W. R. Board, to whom the riband went last year, took the reserve champion and fourteen prizes. Mr. E. F. Lynch-Blosse was president of the show, and the secretary Mr. E. Bramley. The judges were:—Cattle, sheep. and pigs, Messrs. W. Thomas. Treherbert, and J. R. Thomas. Barry; dairy produce and poultry, Mis? Edwards, dairy instructress to Glamorgan Goftnty Council, and Mr. L. Lloyd. Bridgend; roots. Mr. Griffith Powell. Monk- nash, and Mr. Daniel Jenkins; garden pro- duce, Mr. Fisher, Coedymw3twr; honey, Mr. R. Thomas, Cowbridge: and general steward, Mr. Howell Williams, Cardiff. Mr. E. F. Lynch-Blosse presided at the din- ner, and Mr. J. 1: D. Nicholl. responding to the toast of "The Army, Navy, and Reserve Forces," said the bresd of norses suitable for military purposes was diminishing in this country because the Government were not paying sufficient for light animals. The price of £ 30 for a four-year-old was too low, and it was time breeding establishments were started. Mr. J. M. Randall sa.id farmers were not going to risk breeding light horses when after keeping them for four years they couid only get £ 30. A Horse-breeding Commission had been sitting, and their reports had been endorsed by the various chambers' of agri- culture. with the result that recommenda- i tionsr had been made to the Development (Commissioners that they should devote a portion of their fund to the breeding of hones (Cheers.')

MINOR COUNTIES CRICKET ELECTION OF GLAMORGAN TO COMMITTEE. The sixteenth annual meeting of the Minor Counties Cricket Association was held in the pavilion at Lord's on Tuesday, Mr. R. H. Marlett presiding. Dr. J. Earl Norman (Hertfordshire) was re-elected hon. secretary; Messrs. A. M. Miller (Wiltshire), R. H. Marlett, and Dr. J.

Glamorgan, Surrey Second Eleven, Wiltshire. and Staffordshire. The following proposal by Devonshire failed to find a seconder:—"A firstclass county entering an eleven for the Minor Counties Competition shall not play any member who has played in its first eleven during that season." The following amendments to the associa- tion were carried:—"If the two counties at the top of either division shall not have played each other, the second county shall have the right to challenge to play a match which shall decide the headship of the divi- sion, and shall be played on a ground chosen by the challenged county. "In the event of a match not being com- pleted the side leading on the first innings shall score three point3 and their opponents one point." With regard to the challenge match, it was decided that in the event of a challenge match ending in no definite result either on the first innings or the second innings the challenged county shall remain at the head of its division. It was also decided that in the event of the counties not coming to an agreement to play on other dates the match shall be played on the 28th and 29th of August. THE SEASON'S FIXTURES.

ALL INDIAN TOUR. Presiding at the annual meeting cf county secretaries at Lord's on Tuesday, Mr. F. E. Lacey referred to the All Indian cricket tour, which takes place in this country next summer, thanking the secre- taries for their assistance in enabling him to arrange so satisfactory a programme. He added that the Indians had no desire to make money out of the tour, but, naturally, would like to .defray expenses, the under- taking being purely educational, and further pointed out that as this was the first time Mahomedans, Parsees, and Hindoos had combined, a special interest attached to the tour.

WEALTHIEST HEIRESS. SAYS IT'S "JUST HORRID" TO HAVE SO MUCH. Miss Catherine Barker, of Chicago, aged 14, inherits k6,000,000, the entire fortune of her father, John Barker, constructor of tram and railway cars, and a highly successful investor, who died on Saturday. She is now the richest girl in the country, being worth just double as much as Miss Helen Gould, of New York, and three times as much as Miss Jennie Crocker, of San Francisco, the two young ladies nearest her in worldly possessions. Catherine lost her mother last June, and is now in charge of a governess. The estate is administered by the Chicago Trust and Savings Bank. "It's just horrid having so much money," Catherine told a repqrter, but the governess present at the inter- view said, You must try to endure your affliction with patience." Catherine is very popular with her girl friends, who declare that she will always be Catherine, and that money cannot spoil her. One of the late millionaire's pet prejudices was a hatred for cigarette smoking. He urged Nelson Barnes, a young broker, of New York, who was then engaged to his favourite niece, to quit cigarettes. His urgings were in vain; and at last he said, "Barnes, if you throw a-way that cigarette, and pledge your word of honour never to smoke another, I'll give you S,10,000." "Done!" I said Barnes, who gave his word, and forth- with replaced the cigarette by cigars.

LAWYERS' MEMORIAL. I THE MIDDLE TEMPLE AXD KING EDWARD. The Benchers of the Middle Temple have arranged to carry out an excellent idea for commemorating the long association of King Edward with the Inn. Every year, on Novem- ber 9-the anniversary of his Majesty's birth- day—they will eet apart the sum of one hundred guineas, "to be applied in assisting members of the Middle Temple to pursue study and research connected with English and foreign law, constitutional law, compa- rative legislation, and legal history, or such other subjects connected with the profession of the law as the Benchers may deem worthy of assistance." The growing intimacy between English and foreign lawyers makes decidedly for peace, and the encouragement of the scientific study of comparative legisla- tion is no unfitting form for a legal memorial to "King Edward the Peacemaker" to take. Only members of the Middle Temple, it will be noticed, are to receive the benefits of the "King Edward Memorial Fund for Legal Study and Research." The other Inns, though King Edward was not intimately connected with them, might usefully follow the Middle Temple's example. I

THE FLOOR GAVE WAY PARIS. Tuesday. A Rome telegram to the Eclair" states that whilst a number of persons were watch- ing by the bier of a woman who had recently expired at Montelinone, near Potenza, the floor suddenly gave way, all being precipi- tated into a cellar. Much difficulty was ex- perienced in extricating them. Two were dead, one dying, and thirteen were injured. —Central News.
