INTENSIVE CROPPING.
By SPADE-WORKER. INTENSIVE CROPPING. Much can be done to increase the yield of i small plot by paying some attention to matter of inter-cropping, which is really a simple form of intensive gardening. One ne -is, however, to exercise common-sense, otherwise both the main and subsidiary crops may become crowded, with the result that neither will prove satisfactory. Most allot- ment-holders sow peas in rows from 3ft. to 4ft. apart. Now, what can be grown to advantage between them ? Nothing is better, I think, than cabbage lettuce, so seedlings of these should now be put out between the peas, or seeds may be sown there. The spaces between the enda of the rows of peas and potatoes ale valuable; for they are .shaded little, if at all. I am planting New Zealand spinach and vegetable marrows respectively in these positions. Thot»e who do not care for the flavour of ordinary spinach would like the milder taste of the New Zealand kind. It can be sown where it is to grow. I shall plant leeks and celery, putting the plants 9in. apart in a single row, between the early potatoes, for the tops of these will begin to die down in a month, and the ground will then be free for the other vegetables. I have raised a lot of French and haricot beans in pots in my small unheated greenhouse, and in the course of a week or so these will be planted out between the ends of the potato rowti or be- tween the rows of early peas, which will be ready to gather in about three weeks' time. In these and in other little ways which will suggest themselves, one can ob- tain a good deal of extra produce. KEEP THE HOE GOING. The recent dry weather has rendered necessary the continual use of the hoe with the object of preserving a dust-like surface, which effectually prevents the escape of moisture and so enables one to dispense with watering, which is usually a trouble- some matter on the allotment. When the soil has been broken down fairly fine by means of the draw hoe, the push or Dutch hoe should be employed, and once a fine tilth is obtained it can be maintained with- out difficulty. Gardening experts always advise the free use of the hoe in summer, but few allotment holders realise its great 11 vjlue; it often makes all the difference be- twen succor and failure, and especially if the Reason proves hot and dry. EFFECTIVE BIRD-SCARERS. There are many types of bird-scarers in use on allotments, and very weird and won- derful some of them are..One of the com- monest, and I believe one of the best, con- sists of a potato into which feathers are stuck, thp potato attached to a string depending from a stick. Another good bird- 1119 11 scarer is shown in the accompanying sketch. I A useful bird-soarer. In order to make it, you get a piece of 11), and cut from each corner towards the middle. Bore a hole through each corner (1, 2, 3, 4) and one in the middle. Turn each corner towards the middle, pass a long nail through the holes, and drive it into a ata-ke. This i* rattU-s vigoroi! >ly in the wind. Pieces of zinc or tin attached to a string are al-o good. Years ago we at hGm to rise wry early, each in his turn, use the "c!;liHJ-ers" which were most effective in k.vpi'ig the birds away, but you must be up v. Itn the dawn. Perhaps this is too "old- iashioned a plan for preeent-day plot- hoiders More "Prizewinning Hints" next week. TRANSPLANTING VEGETABLES. I have heard of allotment-holders who have successfully transplanted seedling car- rots and parsnips, but, as a rule, it is net a very profitable undertaking. If there are blank's to be filled it is worth trying, but the work must be done in showery weather or after the soil has been thoroughly moistened by watering. Beetroot may be transplanted without difficulty so, too, may pea.s and onions. Water them well after- wards. and before lifting them also if the soil is dry. Bean? are easily transplanted if not allowed to become dry. SEEDS TO SOW. Sow runner beans, haricot beans, and kid- ney beans, endive, parsley, Savoy cabbage, ridge cucumber, marrow, pumpkin, colow< rt (aii In-ialitable little cabbage for late autumn and winter), perpetual spinach, p shorthorn carrot, and globe hc-etruot. The Savoy cab- bage and cole-wort .seedlings will b £ planted out in due course. Take care of the seedling greens raised in April and May; before they become crowded plant them at 6in apart, and in a few weeks they will be sturdy specimens ready to be put out finally. If you neglect your winter greens now, they will never be really satisfactory. PRIZE COMPETITION FOR ALLOT- MENT HOLDERS. Eveiy week two prizes are offered for the best allotment hint or recipe. The prizes consist of useful gardening books. All en- tries for this competition must be addressed "Spadeworkfjr," care of Editor of this paper. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. A. R. H. T. writes that parts of his garden are infested with horsetail (equise- tuin), a wild plant fairly common in many districts. It is most frequent on moist land, and this would seem to indicate that our correspondent's garden needs draining. Digging out the roots and cutting off the shoots if, the only mear.s eradication. W. P. J.—When the onions are growing freely, towards the end of June, diluted bedroom slops may be used occasionally, though I would rather u&e them on celery and greens. The soil must be well hoed the day afterwards or it becomes "greasy." Sow swedes on the flat, unless your soil is heavy, then sow on a ridge. W. G. W_-The potato leaf does not ap- pear to be diseased. Its appearance indicates that the plants lack nourishment, and I shoud advise an application of superphos- phate of lime, 2oz. per yard length of row. Right.—I have not used the fertiliser you mention, but I understand that full direc-1 tions are issued with it. At this time of. year I should use it as a top-dressing.

If onca disease gets into the house it often goes all through and it is here where the close observer I scores. Anyone who has always been among fowls should be able to at once detect anything wrong and then he can begin at once fo put it right, 'but unfortunately there are many men who cannot see when a fowl is ill till almost unable to stand. 'Then it is often too late to who cannot see when a fowl is ill till almost unable to stand. Then it is often too late to save the bird or prevent the trouble from I spreading. The house should be thoroughly cleaned out as soon as ever the weather is dry and warm for then it is soon ready to put the birds in again. This washing should be done I with a view to making the place clean and sweet and also to destroy all insects which may be settled there. When birds are in close con- finement they naturally want the house done out more often than when the birds are out in the run or the fields every fine day arid the least form of disease soon spreads, because all the birds are more susceptible than when out in the air. The object of the intensive plant is to force the fowls beyond normal conditions, and any such method must be attended with certain risks. I have before given various washes and whiie most of them can be made at home one of the best is a good disinfectant made up to the full strength as advised on the bottle. When put on with a syringe it can be forced into the corners While cleaning the walls of the house see that the floor is cleaned also. No matter whether fresh or how long used make a new start and put in some fresh litter. It is a good manure for theygfthlen or field so that none ,gA n need be wasted and by changing you can ensure more healthy conditions. There is another point which must be noted. With the confinement the blood is liable to become overheated and then the fowls often start feather plucking. The heating of the blood creates a depraved appetite and it is then that the birds look about for something fresh to pluck or eat. If they catch hold of a feather and it comes out easily they soon try the same method with ail the others in turn and that is why some birds are seen with big hare patches. With a heated constitution there iy » small portion of blood which forms at, the root and this the fowls like and when once started they take a lot of stopping, so keep down the at of the body by careful feeding and giving those things which make the blood cool. Some medicines can be given in the water while others will mix best in the soft food, and for this reason it is advisable to give an occasional meal of soft food. Salts form one of the best medicines the fowl can have, because it acts upon the system, making it regular, and this cools the blood. Most forms of iron can be given in the water asd when a fowl is out of sorts often it will refuse food while drinking more than usual, so that for some oompiaints through the water is the only practical way for treatment. Com- mon sulphur is a fine blood purifier and forms one of the best things to be given when moult- ing time is on. This acts upon the skin and makes it loos<i, thus the fowl can discharge im- purities which cannot be done with some tonics. Now sulphuir is best rubbed up with the dry meal and then when wetted it becomes pTisorbed and the birds eating any food are sure to get some. A teaspoonful can be given to every six birds once a week or when moult- ing and the weather hot and dry, given twice a week. There are now some very fine spt-ary pumps which are sold to actually spray the fowl. and this can be done with advantage to all the intensive' houses, because the liquid re- commended forms a moist cloud almost. like mist, and this the birds inhale, thus helping them to keep their lungs clear. See thev have plenty of green food each day and a liberal supply of grit and shell always at hand.

Ac os ydyw ar goll, neu os ydych he'o gael yr un, gwell i chwi fyned yn ddioed i Swyddfa r Bwyd i chwilio am un newydd. Cheir dim Llyft- Bwy'd heb fod y ffurilenn wedi ei dychwe.yd, a cheir dim prynu bwyd ar ol Gorffennaf 13eg heb Lyfr Bwyd. Tomas-Tad unwyl! Mi fydd yn ddrwg feliy. Bob—Bydd. A mwy na hynny. Gofalwch eich bod yn llenwi y papur yn iawn. Mae Hawer o bubl yn esgeuluso rhoi yr address ar dop y flurflc-nn-ac felly nid ces modd i'r clercod yn Swyddfa'r Bwyd wybod o ba Ie y daeth o.

John-Mae yn gofyn cael twrnai i lenwi'r papurau yma, goelia i. Bob—Na, ond y piti ydy mai vn Saesneg y maent oil. ° ( Tomos—Dyna chi! Pam na fasa rhywun tua'r Senedd yna yn mynnu gweled fod papurau Cvm- raeg yn caei «u rhoi i ni vng Nghymru? John—Mae rhyw mwy na mwy o helynt di- raid hefo'r bwyd yma, goelia i! Mi fasa'n llawn gwell tae Arglwvdd Rhondda a'r cwmni vna. wedi gadael rtiyngom ni a'n busness. Cvvyno fydd a i'n glvved shopwvr a phawb. Mari—Nsi wir John, tyda chi ddim yn iawn rwan.

Bob-Eitlia gwir. A gyda hvnnv hefvd mae gwaith Gweinyddiaeth y Bwyd yn Llundain wedi ein cyrnell ni yn y wlad i godi ymron digon o fwyd i'n cynnal erbyn hvn. Tomos—Hawyr bach! Yda ni ddim yn arfcr a gwneud felly? Bob—Nac ydym, ers llawer b;wyddyn. 0 wled- ydd tramor yr oedd y rhan fwyaf o'n bwyd ni yn y wlad yma yn dod—a dyna paham yr oedd perygl y submarines mor ofnadwy. Ceisio ein newynu ni drwy rwystro llongau i gludo bwyd ni yr oedd y Caisar wrth ddanfon y sub- marines i suddo pob Hong masnach ar y mor. Madlen-Yr hen gena drwg ag o! Mi ddaw dydd barn amo vntau, diolcli i Dduw. Bob-Daw, ond yn y cyfamser rhaid i ninnau wneud ein rhan. Un ffordd i orchfygu'r Cai- sar yw codi digon o fwyd gartre fel na bydd peryeri ncwyn yma. Yn 1916 nid oeddem yn codi digon o ddefnydd bara yn y wlad yma ond am ryw ddeg neu un wvthnos a'r ddeg o'r flwyddyn. Yn 1917 yr oeddem yn codf digon •mi chwarter blwyddyn. Eleni byddwn yn codi dig-on am naw mis, fel mai bwyd tri mis fvdd raid i ni gael o wledydd tramor. John—Mae rhywbeth newydd i'w glywed o livd.

Cyn ymddangos o'r nodiadau yr wytlinos dfti- weddaf yr oedd ymosodiad yr Almaen yn Ffrainc wedi ei ail-gychwyn ar raddfa fawr, a phawb yn dechreu difr:foli drfichefn yn wyneb y newyddion dewg a ddaethai oddiyno. Hyd yn hyn mae'r wybren o hyd yn dal yn dywvll iawn, ac nid yw wiw i ni geisio dibrisio liwyddiant y gelyn yng nghenllif ei ruthr cyntaf. Ar hyd y Uinell He yr ymosododd yr Almaen, sef rhwng Soissons a Reims, peliter o ryw ddeng milltir ar liugairi, gellir casglu nad oedd cynifer o filvvyr yn amddiffyn ag y sy mewn mannau eraill, ao er i'r rhai hynny ymladd yn ddewr ac yn ddygn, yr oedd rhifedi'r gelyn yn rhy fawr i ni allu atal y llifeiriant. Gwelsom golli ddarnau mawrion o dir, a phentrefi a threfi pwysig yn syrthio i ddwylo'r gelyn, cithr er fod ein milwvr wedi eu gorthrechu, dros aniser, ymladdasant gystal ag enoed ac mae'r llinellau i gyd yn gyfain a'r byddinoedd yn cilio yn ol yn drefnus. Mynn yr Almaen iddi gipio, yng nghwrs y brwydro, dros ddeugain mila garch- arorion a nifer fawr o ynnau o bob math, ac er fod y gelyn yn arfer anwybvddu'r gwirion- edd pan yn cyhoeddi nifer y carcharorion a ddigwyddo syrthio i'w rhan, mae' namlwg; ddigon fod yn rhaid inni golli'n fawr mewn ym- osodiadau cyflym o'r fath, ac nid yw wiw i ni golli calon oblegyd hynuy. Yr ydym wedi byw trwy ami i gyfnod tvwvil o'r blaen gan ddyfod allan drachefn i'r goleuni. a diau y gwelwn eto wasgaru'r cymylau sydd wedi cau am daaom yn awr. Er mor gyflym a fu'r rhuthr diweddaf dywedir fod arweinwyr y byddinoedd yn Ffrainc yn dawel eu meddwl y gellir ei atal yn union deg ac y llwyddir i esmwythau'r sefyllfa ymhen vchydig d'dyddiau. AMCANION Y GELYN. Dywedir fod gan y gelyn dri amcan mawr, sef yw rheiny ceisto cyrraedd hyd at lannau'r Culfor, anelu i gyfeiriad Paris, a thorri bwJch rhwng y Prydeinwyr a'r Ffrancod yn Amiens. Mae'n debyg fod ganddo atgyfnerthion arben- nig ar gyfer pob un o'r tri amcan liwnnw, a phe deuai'r Cynglireiriaid a'u hatgyfnertliion livvy i fyny i atal unrliyw un o'r amcanion hynny, yna tarawasai'r gelyn gyda'i lioll nerth mewn man arall. Dyna'r paham, felly, y mae'n rhaid i'n hawdurdodau milwrol fesur a phwyso'n ofalus, rhag taflu ohonynt eu hunain i ddwylo'r Almaen ac achosi dinistr i'w byddinoedd. Y mae gan y gelyn, ar hyn 0 brvd, lawer o at- gyfnerthion annisgwyl a ddaeth i'w ran trwy'r trybini yn-Rwsia, a gallwn fod yn eithaf sicr y defnyddir yr atgyfneithion hynny hyd at y milwr oiaf. Y mae'n taro gyda'i iioil rym i sicrhau penderfyniad mewn rhyw ffoi-dd neu'i 11 ydd, a hynny ar unwaith, canys gwyr y Caiser yn dda onis catio yn fuan na bydü gobaith ganddo a.n dano o'i blaid ef )n nes ymlaen. Ei rwystro yn yr amcan hwnnw, felly, yw amcan y Cynglireiriaid yn yr argyfwng hwn, ac os llwyddasom i wneuthur hynny ym mlwyddyn gyntaf y rhyfel, mae'n lied sict y ilwyddir yn y bedwaredd. Fe gofir i'r Almaen yn 1914 geisio torri trwodd Baris ar hyd yr un ffordd yn union, ac mae byddinoedd y Cai- ser yn awr yn vinyl y fan lie y cawsant eu troi yn eu holau y pryd liwnnw. Calonogol i ninnau yw cofio fod mwy o filwyr yn ceisio rhwystro'r cynllun yn awr nag yr oedd yn 1914, ao mae gennym bawb ohonom ffydd mawr yng ngallu prif arweinydd ein byddinotdd. RHYFEL A GWAITH. Dywedir fod y rhyfel wedi dod ag un dyian- wad da, o leiaf, yo ei ol, sef achosi licilfad mawr yn rhif yr hunan-Iaddiadau. Yn ystod y cyfnod a estynnai o'r flwyddyn 1900 hyd 1910 yr oedd cyfartaledd yr hunan-laddiadau bob blwyddyn yn ol cant a thrigain ymhob miliwn o'r boblog- aeth; yn 1914 a 1915 nid oedd y nifer ond ychydig dros gant, ac yn rhyfedd iawn yr oedd y lleihad mwyaf i'w gael ymhlith y dynion oedd rhwng pump a deugain mlwydd oed a thrigain a pliump. Ceir llawer iawn o bol)] yu dod ym- laen a rhesymau dros y lleihad hwn, e-iClir dy- wed cyfnodolyn y Meddygon yn bur bendant mai'r prif aclios yw'r fiaitli fod pawb ymron yn awr yn gweithio mewn rhyw ffordd neu'i gilydd, rhagor a wnaethent gynt, a bod y gwaith hwnnw yn eu cadw rhag pendryniu ac anobeithio. Dyna yn ddiau yw achos y rhan fwyaf o'r hunan-laddiadau, sef y leimlad hwnnw o fethiant ac o analiu i ddal yn siriol yn wyneb gwagedd a chreulondeb y byd a'r beichiau trym- ion sy'n gorwedd ar ysgwyddau y rhan fwyaf ohonom. Y mae pawb ohonom, i ryw raddau, yn teimlo'n gaeth, ac ymdrech y meddwl i dorri trwy farrau heyrn ei garehardy yw'r ym- chwil parhaus a welir o'n hamgvlch am ryw- beth newydd o hyd mewn bywyd i'n diddori. Gwaith, medd ein meddylwyr mwyaf, yw un o'r ychydig bethau sydd o wertli parhaol yn y byd, canys trwy waith yn unig y gnll pawb ohonom sicrhuu'r dedwvddwch nennaf.

It i the wonderful nerve nourishing power of Dr. Casseil's Tablets that enables them to cure cases such as the followin, j Mr. Robert W. Sickley, 20, Milton-street, Wombwell, near Barnsley, says For <3ver five years T suffered with Nerve Paralysis. My right side from the arm to the foot was com- pletely paralysed; I had to go with a stick, trailing my leg as though it were dead. Merlica treatment proved useless in my case, and there seemed no hope of any cure. In fact, I was given up as unfit ever to work again, and after five years of helplessness I was of the same opinion myself. But one day T was advised to try Dr Casseil's Tablets, and very soon I began to feel the benefit. Feeling and power gradually returned to my leg, and I found I could walk a little without the s'tiek. Then I managed to cross the street, and so it went on till no-.v I I strong raid well and back in my old employ- ment."

N "The doctor described my ailment as old age eczema,' and M said nothing could cure me. He gave me some lotion, but neither this nor any of the other things I tried did me any good. I had to take to bed, and week after week I lay in torture, too weak to get up, and so despondent that I thought I was going to die. Fourteen weeks passed like this, and I suffered shockingly from the maddening irritation. Then my nephew recommended Zam-Buk. The first dressing allayed the irritation, and I began to B have more rest. Then I had another box, and at the end of a I was able to getup. | "I continued with Zam-Buk and got rapidly better. The irritation I ceased entirely, my legs healed up, and soon the eczema was all gone. 8 Now my skin is as clean as a baby's." ■ S Mr. Stallwood's daughter (Mrs. Harding), with whom he lives, added: B i Nobody thought my father would live through it.

YR ERWAU GLEISION.
(Continued from previous column.) yng Nghymru yn arbennig, ac hyderir y bydd v cyfarfod hwn yn dod u'r dealltwnaetli a'r cvdymdeimlad hwnnw eto n agosacli yn y dy- fodol. YR ERWAU GLEISION. Gan nad beth a ddigwyddo o hyn i'r cyn- haé'ai,' ceir cystal argoelion am gnydau da eleni ag a gaed odid erioed o'r b.aen, ac y mae llawer iawn o'n prvder am y dyfodol yn cilio wrth weld yr egin yn cuddio'r meysydd gyda'u "mil cleddyfau glas eu gwawr." Dywed y Bwrdd Amaethj-ddiaeth wrthym fod gcnnym gymaint o dir tan driniaeth eleni ag yr oedd gennym yn yr hen amseroedd pan oedd y wlad yn dibynnu yn bennaf ar ei chynnyrch ei hun. Yn ol yr awdurdotlau torasid cymaint o dir ar gyfcr yd yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar ddeg ag a wneir heddyw mewn adeg o gyfyngder, yn arbennig dir ar gyfer gwenith. Eithr ui oheftid y pryd hwnllW namyn rhyw wyth pwysel o bob orw, ac yr oedd yn agos i ddwy fiiiwn o bobl i'w bwydo; felly gan fod chwarter o yd yn caei ei ganiatau ar gyfer pob un cyfrifir nad oes fawr o wahaniaeth yng ngliyfanswm yr erwau y pryd hwnnw a'r hyn sydd gennym yn awr. Wrth son am yr hen amser, a'r lie amlwg y cymerasai aAaethyddiaeth ym mywyd y genedl, j nid aniddorol yw galw i gof fod pawb ymruIl, y pryd hwnnw, yn rhoi help llaw gyda r cyn- I haeaf. Dywedir fod gwyr y Gyfraith a bechgyn y Prif-y sgoiion i gyd yn defnyddio pladuriau .ale yn helpu ymllob rhyw fodd i ddwyn y ffrwyth i ddiddosrwydd yr ysguboriau a'r yd- lannoedd, ac yn wir mae'r tymor hir o wyliau :;y'n gyffi'edin yn y Colegau a'r Llysoedd ym misoedd yr haf yn aros o hyd yn brawf o'r hen arfer rhagorol hwn. TROSEDDAU'N CYNHYDDU. Ar ol tymor hir o wellhad amlwg ynglyn a throseddau cymdeithasol, dywedir eu bod weithian yn mynd ar gynnydd yn gyflym iawn. Dywedir fod yr Un peth wedi digwydd yn union yn ystod rhyfel Deheudir AfErica ac felly priodolir y sefyllfa, i raddau mawr, i ddvl?nwad y rhyfel ar fywvd moesol y wlad. Rboddir llawer iawn o achosion dros hvn. Yn un peth mai nifer fawr o'r lveddgeidwaid yn awr yn aelodau o'r fvddin, ac mae'r ffaith fod goleuo aelodau o'r fvddin, ac mae'r ffaith fod goleuo lampau wedi ei atal ymhobman ymron yn ystod oriau'r hwyr yn rhoddi gwell cyfleusterau a mwy o demi-aaiwn ar ffordd drwg-weitlyedwyr ac yn lleihau'r cyfleusteru i'w liatal a'u can- fod. Y mae llawer o'r drwg hefyd i'w briodoli vn uniongvrchol i ddvlanwad v rhyfel. Ceir llawer iawn o'r dosbarthiadau hynny a gyfrif- asid vn isel mewn cymdeitlias yn awr yn ennill cyflogau mawrion ac yn cam-ddefnyddio eu henillion, a mamau a gwragedd hwythau yn gwario eyfraiiiadau'r Llywodr,,i,etli yn yr un modd. Mae'r mania u n'r gwragedd. mwya'r gresyn, yn gyfrifol i. ra,ddau helaeth iawn am y cynnydd mawr yn y +roscddau, ac nid oes odid ddiwrnod yn myud heibio na welir yn ein papurau newyddion banes am eu hanffyddlon- deb a'u haniladrwvdd.

Mr. Vaughan Davies, MJP^ attended. Mr. John Roberts, Denbighshire, wrote pointing out that a letter had been writteii stating that Mr. Hayes Fisher held that members of War Agricultural Committees, who were members of Tribunals should refrain from acting on Tribunals when applications from agricultural labourers under the recent, Pro- clamation were being considered. Mr. Davies Cooke, Flint, thought a man should not. sit. on both bodies. No action was taken. Dealing with labour difficulties arising out of the recent Proclamation, Mr. Trevor Eaton complained of the leakage of youths of 16 and en from agriculture to mines, munitions, and timber felling, and it was agreed to make 3 protest to the authorities, Mr. Davies, Pem- brokeshire, said there was a. feeling in his county that use should be made more of dis' charged soldiers.
