HINTS FOR ALLOTMENT I HOLDERS. By SPADE-WORKER. WINTER GREENS. MAKING A HOTBED. I can never understand why allotment holders persist in cutting off the tops of their brussels sprouts before they have gathered the sprouts on the stem. It is not a good practice. The tops should be left until the last, then the sprouts will have some protection during severe weather. Some people have already begun to cut their sprouting broccoli, which is also wrong. This is a spring vegetable, and ought not to be cut until March; it will prove invalu- able then, for vegetables are most scarce during March, April, and early May. The tops of kale may be cut now, and there are, of course, savoy cabbage, ordinary cabbage, and coleworts to cut. Practically all our severe weather comes after Christmas, and there must be some method in cutting win- ter greens if we are to make the most of them. MAKING A HOTBED. Those who have a cold frame and wish to grow a few early vegetables should get ma- terial together with which to make a hot- bed. If a lasting, steady warmth is re- quired, the material should consist of half Hotbed Made Partly Beneath Ground — Useful in an Exposed Place. stable manure and half fresh leaves, or two- thirds manure and one-third leaves. When sufficient manure has; been collected it should be made up into a heap, and after twenty-four hours or so should be turned inside out. It must again be turned the following day, and shortly afterwards the manure and leaves are mixed together. The mixture is then made up into a hotbed about three feet high after having been trodden fairly firmly; it ought to be fifteen inches or so wider than the frame to be placed upon it. A bed of soil is then made Hotbed Made Wholly Above Ground in the Usual Way. up on the manure, and in the course of a few days it will be warm enough to allow of seeds being sown upon it. Rhubarb can be forced easily in such a frame, but it must be darkened. Seakale, too, can be treated in a similar way; so, too, can asparagus. In early spring one may sow ■seeds of brussels sprouts, cabbage, onion, celery, leek, and other vegetables for plant- ing out of doors later on; or it may be used to produce an early crop of carrots or pota- toes. PRIZE WINNING HINTS. I think Mr. Drumraoiid deserves a prize for reminding us that it is possible to asso- ciate a few flowers with the vegetables without disadvantage to either, and there are few more useful border flowers than the out-of-door chrysanthemum. Mr. Drum- mond's hint is as follows: "Don't discard flowers in war-time. I have had two beau- tiful beds, one of chrysanthemums and the other pyrethrums, and have grown vege- tables and salads on the same beds. The 11 chrysanthemums were struck in the frame from cuttings taken in November, and j were planted out at the end of April, about 12ift. apart, in three rows. After staking the tallest, four drills were drawn, one at each edge and one between each row, in which turnip seed of an early variety was sown. Space was later found for cabbage lettuce, the seed of which had been planted in the frame in February. About the end of June the pyrethrums "were dug up and placed in a trench, and in the vacant space plants from my third sowing of brus.vels sprouts were planted. As these are promis- j ing in appearance and the turnips and ] lettuce produced excellent results, I shall have no compunction in adopting similar methods next year. The value of a frame and the alternate sowing of seeds, especially of the brassica tribe, cannot be too strongly emphasised in these serious times." There is a good deal of useful and season- able information in this note from Mr. Ritchie, which gains another prize: "Win- ter greens, such as curled kale, which have 'I become too soft and "gross" in growth should be loosened at the roots with a dig- ging fork, pulled slightly over to the side, and trodden firm. The check thus given will enable .them to withstand severe frost much better than if left otherwise. Broc- I coli which has got too forward should be similarly treated, but the heads should be I turned to the north, so that the sun may not spoil the colour. If the ground occu- pied by winter greens is needed these may be lifted and replanted at one end; they will do quite well in their new quarters. A good old-fashioned plan with Drumhead cabbage and savoys is to dig a deep trench and place them in head downwards, cover- ing with soil; the heads keep fresh for quite a long time." I shall be able shortly to announce the result of the competition for planning the allotment. Will readers kindly note that in the week!y competition preference is generally given to hints which are season- able.

Farmers Column. TRACTORS. In Dorset for the week ending November 9th the weather was so bad that the tractors averaged only 71 acres ploughed per week, although they averaged 2i per day! Thus it was more or less generally. Yet, even so, in Hampshire the tractors ploughed 274 acres; in Dorset 218i; in East Suffolk 259; in West 4 Suffolk 258; in Norfolk 882 (besides 89 acres cultivated); an Northumberland 227 (and 8 cultivated); and in the East Riding of York- shire 244 (and 66 cultivated); as against 194i (and 76 cultivated, the week previously. The East Riding Tractors averaged 14.25 acres ploughed and cultivated in the week end ng I November 9th, compared with 10.4 acres in the week ending November 2nd. The Isle of Ely average per tractor was llj acres; that for Northumberland about 12.1. In Wales it was almost impossible to plough. A WELSH CONSERVING DEPOT. A movement is on foot in the Llandudno I d strict for the better organisation of the fruit and vegetable supply of the surrounding area. An enormous quantity of fruit and vegetables fresh or preserved is imported to Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, and other coast towns of North Wales in the holiday season, from outside sources. On the other hand many tons of fruit and vegetables grown in the district are said to be wasted in every year of good crops from sheer lack of local organisation. A conference is being held this week-end at Llandudno Junction with a view to the creation there of a horticultural depot. It seems likely that this depot will be run on oo-operative lines and that canning, drying, and pulping Will be undertaken, in combination with the handling of fresh fruit and vegetables. Llandudno Junc- tion is a good centre for dealing with the produce of Anglesey, Carnarvonshire, and parts of Merionethshire. It need hardly be said that I,cal efforts of this sort have the warmest sympathy of the Food Production Department and the Ministry of Food. Their general adoption throughout the country would go far to solve many of the minor problems of food production and distribution. THE TRANSPORT OF FERTILISERS. Farmers are strongly urged by the Food Product on Department to place orders for superphosphate and other requirements with their usual merchants at once. The railways will have great difficulty in providing sufficient trucks to secure rapid delivery in the spring, and it is essential that the traffic should be spread over as many months as possible. Makers have moderate stocks of superphosphate in hand at present and farmers who do not order at once and take delivery as soon as possible will have nobody but themselves to blame if they are unable to obtain the requirenien4 at a later date. THE ACORN CROP. The Food Production Department of the Board of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Food, again draw the attention of stock owners to the necessity of making full use of this year's crop of acorns. In places where these are still lying on the ground, collecting parties of children, etc., should be organised without de'ay. Landowners are urged to put no unreasonable obstacles in the way of farmers. Difficuities should not arise if the gleaning parties are under experienced super- vision. A leaflet on the Feed ng of Acorns may be obtained free and post free from the Sec- retary, Board of Agriculture, 3, St. James's- square, S.W.I. square, S.W.1.

USING POTATOES TO SAVE BREAD. LEAGUE OF NATIONAL SAFETY. Sir Arthur Yapp, director of food economy, is anxious that the present large surplus stock of potatoes and vegetables should be utilised in all private houses, hotels, restaurants, and public eat ng places in such a way as to save bread. It has been brought to his notice that in many public eating 0 places the charge for a portion of potatoes and other vegetables is so relatively high as to encourage people to order bread instead. That is very much against the national interest, and Sir Arthur Yapp desires it to be clearly untood that he expects die management of all public eating places to alter their arrangements accord- ingly. It is still quite common for meat, eggs, etc., to be served cn toast or bread. This practice ,hou:d be immediately discontinued, and the use of bread should be discouraged in every way possible, so long as potatoes and other vegetables arc abundant. In particular it is most desirable that in all publ c eating places little bread as possible should be served at lunch and dinner when potatoes and other vegetables are available in abundance. Sir Arthur Yapp urges the public to gfve their full support to these recommendations, as this is of great importance Ih utilising the national food supply to the utmost advantage. Sir Arthur K. Yapp's new League of National Safety will, we hope, elicit a prompt response from every reader. Any man or woman in the realm who is not wearing the anchor before Christmas should be shunned as a food hog. Membership involves signing and fulfilling the following promise :1 real se that economy in the use of all food and the cheekizig of all waste helps my country to complete victory, and I promise to do all in my power to assist this campaign for national safety." There are no membership fees. A badge bearing an anchor as an emblem will be sup- plied free to everv member, and cards on which application for enrolments may be made can be obtained from Sir Arthur Yapp, League of National Safety, Ministry of Food, Grosvenor House, Londem, W.I. Lord Rhondda, the food controller, will closely watch the results of the campaign and, if the present appeal for voluntary economy is not responded to by the nation generally, he will not hes'tate to re- commend to the Cabinet a scheme of com- pulsorv ration'ng. HOW TO CLAMP POTATOES. Many potatoes are lost annually through bad clamp ng. Last year even, when supplies were short and prices high, the losses from this cause, due to carelessnes or ignorance, were large. The driest part of om's ground should be selected for a clamp and a strip 3ft. 6in. w and long enough to take the potatoes to be stored should be marked out. After grading, the potatoes should be piled :'n a heap with sides as upright as possible—in the shape of the letter A. The sides and end of the clamp

Neighbourly Solicitude in Aberystwyth. As an instance of the way that Abervst-, wyth people have of helping one another, ;t would be hard to find anything better than this. Read over every word of what -a neigh- hour tells you here, and judge whether anything could be more helpful to a man I or woman down with kidney trouble. Mrs. S. Hughes, of 1, Railway View, Pwilhob'e, Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, says:—"For some years my kidneys were not well. Often I was troubled with such sharp, stabbing pains in my back that I could hardly bend at itiv work. They took; all energy from me. The water was very disordered and scalding in relief, and I had inflammation of the kidneys, too. A neighbour advised me to try Doan's backache kidney pills, I was very glad to get such good relief from them. These pills took the pains away very quickly and cleansed tho kidney system. Whenever I get any sign of the trouble a few of Doan's pills soon put me right again. I shall "ortainly recommend them all I can. They Arc so .good." (S gned) "S. Hughes." Backache, gravel, dropsical swellings, urinary disorders, rheumatic twinges, h-.vtdachos arid (tiny snails arc enough cause to suspect kidney diwP&sc.

Poultry. SEASONABLE POINTERS. The poultry breeder will now be on the look out for next season's work and be preparing his pens and houses for the breeding stock. This is all in good time, but there is nothinj like being ready. On nearly every farm there will sure to be some backward chickens, that is a sort of half grown stuff which never look like making big b.rds. Probably this is the result of late hatching and then not so careful feeding as with the earlier broods, consequently these youngsters now look fairly miserable. Much of this .s the result of the owner through carelessness in not feeding with the same care all through the season. Jdne is not an ideal month for hatching, but when the youngsters are pushed ahead they come on rapidly and | soon develop enough to lay eggs. In actual size, they fall short of the March birds and w.ll not be so big, but they make useful layers and will keep oil right' through the winter. Most of these birds should start laying in November and will continue right into March before they want a rest. If these -V:nls are to be a success they must be well fed and housed. It is fatal to let them stop on the cold ground, so if they can be picked up and put into a good house or large shed they will soon alter and make useful layers. What they want is good food and regular feeding with, of course, all the other requisites necessary, such as green food and grit. Given a liberal treatment for a fortnigli and you will hardly know them and everv pullet will prove worth all the extra trouble. Cockerels of the same age will not be fit for much besides killing and next month will be a good time for moving them off. Where there is a crowd of these, they can be all. fed together, given a liberal diet and then all killed off at once, because they will keep a few days if necessary and no matter what the size they will find ready pur- chasers. Any birds still out in the fields should be brought up at once, housed in intensive places and encouraged to lay. It is a wonder that some birds ever lay at all for the conditions under which they are kept is not conducive to health let alone egg producing. Fowls should have plenty of dry litter on the floor go that they can always find something to scratch about. Some fowls seem to have one run all the year through, so that when the sun shines for a day or two, they get a dry walk, but when its wet, well its just a quagmire. -Under such conditions it is not fair to expect- eggs because the birds exist under such unnatural conditions that the wonder is they grow at all. These birds now should be collected and put into a house which is dry, fairly warm, well lighted and ventilated, that is'all an 'inten- sive house means, and any sort or shape of place which answers these needs will suit. I notice there are st;ll some elaborate places on the market, but they are too costlv to buy now, so must use any available building or space on hand. For instance any part "of n stable or cowhouse, a disused wood sherI would make quite suitable places if thev contain the essent als referred to aiiove, viz., drv, warm, lieht and airy.

(Continued from previou column.) should be covered with a layer uf luug wheat- straw 4in. in thickness, care be ng taken that the lower ends of the straw are pressed close to the ground; for it is along the edge of clamp that frost most often gets In. The long straw layer should reach almost to the top of the potatoes. To keep the straw in place, a layer of earth should be thrown aiong the hower edge of the clamp. In order to keep off rain, a cover.ng of -oiig straw (wheat or barley not oat straw) is thatched over the r.dgc, so that the lllCb overlap the straw at the sides. By this means any rain which falls will run down the outs.de and not into the clamp. The straw may be kept in posit'on by a layer of earth 3m. thick covering the sides from the base up to 4in. from the top of the ridge. At the approach of haiel weather the clamp must be finished. This s done by covering it, except along the middle of tlu uelg. with a thick coat of soil dug out froj.i along the sides. As a resuit oi the digging a elra nage trench a foot or so wide anei tim. deep is formed. An outlet is cut. in the trench to auow water collecting there to drain away. 1 he earth is worked ull the sides and end with a spade, and is made firm and smooth as the clamping proceeds. A thickness of 6m. of earth is quite sufficient to give protection aga list moderate frosts but it is advisable to put an extra 3in. on the colder side. In very severe weather (sucii as that experienced last winter) even a covering of 12in. may not be enough and therefore extra covering should be given during exceptionally hard weather. It should be jemestibered, however, that too much so.I encourages the stored potatoes to grow in the clamp. Finally a thick layer of short litter shou'd be placed along the ridge. If the foregoing method of clamping is adopted there will be no need to put in ventila- tion pipes. If, however, the old practice of supplying ventilation shafts is followed, the shafts, each consisting of 3-incli dr-ain pipes, should be put in, not along the top of the rJdge but about 1 foot from the top along the tt distaiiee-s of 6 feet oi, so from one another. The shaft or pipe should be placed in a. horizontal or downward sloping position: for if placed vertically it is sure to lead to water getting into the clamp. A loose wad of straw, etc..should be pushed into the open end of each shaft. Many experienced growers have given up using this means of ventilating their clamps. Ihiless the clamp shows signs of giving way f,li- i-, nf tubers, it may be left LInd 'turhcd until February. According to the Food Production Department, it should then be op- nod and the potatoes inspected. If left longer they are likely to sprout vigorously, end in that case much of the goodness in the potatoes will be lost. Further particulars about the best methods of storing potatoes and other vegetables, in large or small quantities may be obtained from Leaflet No. 299 post free from the Board of A ,uIirP .1 St.Tames' Sauare, S.W.I.

It has since been ascertained that the food arrived at Hen- ilan in that condition. ilan in that condition. As the result of correspondence with the Ch ef Constable of Carmarthenshire and others, the Urban Council has obtained sanction to light the streets. On Tuesday Mr. J. E. James presided over the Urban Council, there being also present, Messrs. Wm. Davies, Henry Davies, William Rees, David Thomas, Henry Evans, and W., Charles Davies. On the death of Dr. Joshua Powell, medical officer, Dr. D. G. Lloyd was the only applicant and was unanimously appointed. One application only had been re- ceived for the post of toll collector and weigher and the appointment was deferred. The Rural Food Committee at a recent meet- ing received a deputation from Drefach on the question of reeluc ng the price of milk to 4d. per quart and butter to Is. lOd. per lb. In the course of discussion Dr. Lloyd explained his reason for supporting the higher prices now charged which, he said, would be the means of en-ur ng a sufficient supply for the district. Mr. T.

RHEL MATISM-KI ONLY TfcOUBLF. Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature intended, to which every qualified physician agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treat- ment of Rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, and have cured num- berless cases after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for their superseding out-of-date medic nes that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy.
