FARM NOTES.
FARM NOTES. The warmer weather has had a, most beneficial and desirable influence upon vegetation gener- elly, and there will shortly be an abundance of grass for the store stock and sheep, though some .showers would be all ad-vantage at the time of writing indeed, there are indications that there is a change in the weather impending. Since I wrote you last week, I have had a run from North Wales to the far south of Devon- shire, travelling by way of Salop, Hereford, and Bristol. Everywhere, I found vegetation some- what backward for the end of April, and the land positively thirsting for rain. It is really astonishing to find the land so dry after a long -wet, cold winter. One hears a great deal of the advantages of a 11 southern, climate, but so far as I could observe tthere is very little distinction between the ap- pearance of nature with us and in Devonshire. The latter, perhaps, are a week or ten days in advance of us-for example, I saw rhododendrons in bloom, and the primroses are disappearing, [having come out at an earlier date. But there is quite as much grass in North Wales as in Devonshire, which, perhaps 1S not saying much. I saw several flocks of Shropshire sheep pas- lturedalongMe the railway; the Herefords ap- peared in the pink of condition, and the same remark applies to the fine reds of Devon. Every- where, the same complaint was heard of the scarcity of labour, and the deainess of stores and milch cows—'the latter more particularly. And that leads me by an easy gradation to speak of the cattle markets. During the past fortnight, the market has been steadily harden- ing, and sound stock is easy to sell at very 4Temunerative prices. Last week, the local and district markets were pretty well supplied with stores, and in spite of the- increase in values, these changed hands very readily, only inferior 4IJrimals being left unsold. I do not know that the agricultural situation ihas greatly improved, but the situation, if I may express it, is easier. The south country farmers have passed through a fearful cycle of odepression-a depression which has weeded out the financially weak, reduced rents all round, thinned the villages of labour, and driven thou- sands of farmers and men off the land into other pursuits. But the general opinion is that the worst of the depression has passed, and that with im- proving prices farmers have better times ahead. With us material prosperity means a steady demand at remunerative prices for stock. The extent to which the cost of maintaining a flock of sheep varies is strikingly illustrated by the figures of costs for the past and preceding winters computed by the Teviotdale Farmers' dub. The average cost per week of feeding sheep on turnips during the recent season was struck as follows —HaJ-brwi ewes, Sid, com- pared with lOd in 1900; Cheviot ewes, 41d, against Bid; and Cheviot hoggs, 3id against 64d last year. It would seem from these, no doubt, reliable figures that the-cost of production varies even more widely than the rates of realisation, and, consequently, the prosperity or failure of the pursuit cannot always be correctly measured by the market quotations. In an experiment in cattle-feeding carried out during the patst winter at the Bangor University College, cotton seed meal was tested in com- parison with decorticated cotton cake. Each lot consisted of four animals, and the rations, apart from the articles named, comprised 41b maize meal, 51b long-hay, and pulped swedes, straw and hay chaff, and water "ad lib. and towards the end 21b crushed oats per head per day. The ootton meal and cake were each given at the rate of 41b per head. The result showed an advan- tage in favour of the cake, the net monetary gain <m four bullocks being J31 14s, or 8s 6d per head. The cattle fed on cake also yielded a slightly higher percentage of carcase to live weight than the lot receiving meal. It does not surprise me to hear that the urban district councils of North Wales are strongly protesting against the re-imposition of the Sating Relief Act, the Barmouth Urban District Council having passed the following resolution: —"That this council views with, astonishment and alarm the projected renewal of that iniquit- ous piece of class legislation known as the Agri- cultural Rates Act; and that, thaving regard especially to the prospect of increased taxation which the exigencies of the State has rendered) inevitable in the immediate future, this council earnestly appeals to his Majesty's Government to allow the above Act to expire, and so avoid emphasising further the inequality which already exists in the incidence of taxation as between urban and rural districts respectively; also, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Prime (Minister, the Leader of the House of Commons, the Leader of the Opposition, and the member for tftfe county of Merioneth."

On Thursdav, a special meeting of th^ urban •council w&s held, Mr W. D. Jones, i^rei siding, when a letter was read from Colonel Rees, Carnarvon, as to the home-coming of the volunteers.—The Chairman said that the town had given the volunteers a grand send-off, and now that they had served their country, it would be well to extend to them a warm welcome.

He has been in- vited to the pastorate of Zoar Congregational Church, Swansea, a church that is both large And influential. Mr Jones, is a popular preacher, an active temperance and social reformer, and his church and the town can ill afford to loose him.

Lord Stanley of Alderley has not allowed the circumstance to pass without showing his usual kindness in re- warding such commendable conduct and feat of bravery. On •Saturday last, his Lordship re- warded Mr John Owen, the father of the young man, with an excellent cart, one of Margeston land Holes' screw tip carts, as a reward for the services of his son in "saving life under the cir- cumstances mentioned.

BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. DAMAGES AGAINST A BALA MAN. At Welshpool, on Friday, Unlder-Sheriff Har- rison and a jury sat to assess damages in the action for breach of promise brought by Miss Jane Ellis, aged 25, a farmer's daughter, of Felinfach, Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant, against William Thomas Williams, son of a well-to-do farmer, of Maesgadfa, Bala, who now lives at 11, Winslow-street, Walton, Liverpool. De- fendant proposed and was accepted in January, 1899. Intimacy took place soon afterwards, and on becoming awaire of plaintiff's condition the I. defendant renewed the promise of marriage. In December of the following year, however, he I married at Aintree a Miss M'Bride, who is said to have private means. Defendant admitted having loved the young lady, but pleaded that his reason for throwing her over was flirtation with another young man. The jury assessed the damages at JS100.
DOGS CHURNING.
DOGS CHURNING. IS IT CRUELTY ? On Monday J. Menzies, Esq., and D. P. Wil liams, Esq., Carnarvon County Magistrates, went to Caegarw, Rhostryfan, to decide for themselves whether it is cruel to compel dogs to churn. It will be remembered that about a fortnight ago the tenant of Caegarw was summoned by the R.S.P.C.A. for cruelly ill-treating and torturing a dog, and the bench, failing to decide owing to the difference of opinion, deputed two of their number to go to see the alleged "instrument of torture, Accompanying the magistrates were Mr Lewis Rees Thomas, the clerk; Mr W. S. Jones, solicitor; Mr. Richard Roberts, defending solicitor; Inspector Kennedy, and Mr. Nathaniel Roberts, who took some excellent photographs of the dog at work. The machine was composed of a wooden disc revolving on a pivot at an angle of 45 degrees, and the dog stepped on this, and pedalling finished churning in about 37 minutes, tra- velling in that time a distance of a mile and a quarter. The magistrates will give their decision on Saturday, and it is expected with some interest I in farming circles, for it is alleged that the custom is pretty general among small farmers in Car- narvonshire and Anglesey.

Jones, who at once touched to Jimmy Jones, who centred per- fectly, and Arridge, dashing up from half-back, s-hot for goal, J. O. Jones just touching the ball as it passed him, and sending it. in at an unex- pected angle, after five minutes' play from the kick-off. Two. minutes later, J. O. Jones scored at second goal for (Bangor, and ten minutes later Bangor, advancing in beautiful fashion, T. Jones headed into goal, where the custodian handled, 'but failed to stop the ball, and the score stood Bangor, 3 goals Buckley, nil. Three minutes afterwards, Buckley, after gaining a free-kick in the Bangor goalmouth, and a corner, both of which were cleared, were again driven headlong into goal, and T. Jones scored a beauty, but was I off-side. Half-time Bangor, 3 goals Buckley, 1 goal. During the second half, play continued to be of a one-sided character, and the final score was -Bangor. 9 goals; Buckley, 1 goal. Mr J. E. Hughes, captain of the Llandudno Swifts, the holders of the cup for the past year, presented the skipper of the winning team with the trophy, .and he was subsequently carried shoulder high to the Royal Oak Hotel, the head- quarters of the Bangor team.
CONWAY TOWN COUNCIL,
CONWAY TOWN COUNCIL, I THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUSSEL FISHERY. The Mayor (Alderman Hugh Hughes) presided over a meeting of the council, on Wednesday. It was resolved that a special meeting be held to deal with the estimates for the year. Replying to a question by Councillor Oldman, the Mayor stated that the total estimated outlay on the Morfa volunteer rifle range was £1800. ROAD NEAR LLANRHOS. Some discussion, initiated by Councillor Con- way Jones, arose„on the consideration of a com- plaint from Mr E. E. Bone that a portion of the road near ILlanrhoSi was in a. dangerous condition. Dr Morgan (ex-mayor) explained that there had been some misunderstanding as to the parti- cular authority responsible for the portion of road referred to. There had been a joint com- mittee appointed, including representatives of the Conway Town Council, the Llandudno Coun- cil, and the Carnarvonshire County Council, each of which had within its area of jurisdiction a portion of the road referred to. I The Clerk further explained that the Conway Corporation admitted its responsibility to main- tain and repair a portion of the road. But the dangerous portion of the road required to be widened, and the corporation could not be held responsible for the cost of widening. The Mayor said the most dangerous portion of the road: lay undoubtedly within the area of the County Council. It was ultimately resolved that a copy of the letter which had given, rise to the discussion be sent to the clerk to the County Council. PUBLIC FOOTPATHS. Councillor R. Daviesi (Deganwy) called atten- tion to the public rights in foot oaths within the borough. Withiin his personal knowledge, there were paths in the neighbourhood of Deganwy which had been recently closed. Another im- portant footpath which had been neglected was the celebrated one leading through Bodvscralien woods. ° Other members referred to similar cases, and rbe Borough,1 Surveyor said if members would communicate to him the facts, he would see to them. Councillor Oldman said there were some ques- tions connected wit'h this matter which could not be decided by the Iboroughsurveyor, but by the corporation. He referredjto. a. footpath which had been diverted by the owner of the land. The corponation had compelled the owner to remove the obstructions; but these I had' now been replaced. The Mayor said they bad not been replaced with the consent of the corporation. It was then resolved that the borough surveyor should look into the whole matter of footpaths, and make a special report on those mentioned by members at that meeting. SOME ARREARS. The Clerk read the following letter from the local manager for Messrs Ind, Coope, and Co. I "Re Junction (Hotel gas account (£111 6s). Dear sir,—Replying to your favour of the 23rd inst., I ibeg to state this is the first intimation I have had of the outstanding account. I presume this account (refers to the tenancy of Mr James Up- ton. Some time -before Mr Upton left your col- lector spoke to me re rates and taxes. I toldi him distinctly that Mr Upton was leaving on a certain date, and that he had better make ar- rangements to collect She different rates and taxes before that time. I also told 'him if he had any difficulty in getting the account from Mr Upton, to let me know, and I would collect them out of the balance paid to Mr Upton for valuation of furnitmre, &c. I might say Mr Upton had a balance of between B500 and JB400 to draw when he left the hotel, and to my mind it is but sheer neg-lect that the account is not collected. Under the circumstances, I regret we I cannot see our way clear to pay these accounts. I would also like to point out that it is over twelve months since the new tenant took pos- session of the Junction 'Hotel, and I think you will admit it is rather late fin the day to call I upon a company to pay this account." Considerable discussion followed. The Col- lector, on being asked;, stated that he "refuted the letter poant blank." It was after Mr Upton left that he had seen Mr Mayger, who had then told him he would see what he could do for him. Replying to further questions, the Collector saitd he had never had a. word with Mr Mayger about the rates, but only about the gas account. Mr Upton had left the hotel before he had taken the gas index. He had no charge against Mr Upton until he had left. 'He did know that Mr Upton wa.s leaving. He had made application for payment of the amount (£11 6s) to both Mr Mayger and Mr Upton within twelve months of the amount becoming due. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Conway Jones, seconded by Mr Oldman, that the clerk write to Mr Mayger further in the matter. The charge brought against their collector in the letter was a most. serious one, and as the collector now denied the accuracy of wfhat the letter stated, it was their duty to elicit all the in- formation possible. THE MUSSEL BEDS. Professor White, of the North Wales Univer- sity College., at the invitation of the Mayor, ad- dressed the council on the question of the Con- way mussels fishery beds. He said that those beds were the most important lin Wales. His attention had been drawn to the great waste which now took place in connection with the fishery, a waste 'which it wa.s very desirable should be stopped. !He thought the fishery might be greatly extended. In Scotland, the" mussel beds were carefully surveyed, and suggestions were made for their extension. 'Something oL the kind might be done at Conway. Before the beds could be extended, it would be necessary to survey and chart the existing beds, and to ascertain tihe character of the mussels on them. Much might then be done in improving the quality as well as the quantity of the produce. It was his intention to make this survey, end he hoped the council would make some ciant to meet the expenses. If they did so, the Con- way Council would be the first body in Wales to make a grant for fishery investigation. He thought tihe French method of mussel breeding might be adopted by laying wattle work in + he bed' of the river to gather the spat of mussels. Dr Morgan, ex-mayor, voiced the feeling of the council m expressing their appreciation of the services rendered by Professor White, both locally and 'as the council's representative on the Lancashire and Western Sea; Fisheries B -r.-1. The nafhe-rmen themselves, who had at first been strongly suspicious of Professor White's inter- position, were now ready to admit that he hid rendered them .great services. It was finally resolved that the council make a grant of :C10 towards the expenses, and a.'k the Lancashire^and Western Sea Fisheries Board to render further assistance. A long discussion arose on the report of a. f ub- committee in favour of taking steps to provide a public landing-stage for the town. The matter was ultimately referred to v- com- mittee for further report. I

IWELSH NATIONAL LIBERALj ICOUNCIL.J…
I WELSH NATIONAL LIBERAL I COUNCIL. THE COAL AND SUGAR TAXES. A meeting of the .general purposes conKoittee of the above 'Council was held at Shrewsbury on 'Saturday, presided over by Mr e. E. Breese, Portmadoc, the vice-ehaiirman. According to the instructions of the Council, a clause was drafted for submission to the next National Con- vention, to enable the London Cymru Fydd Society and kindred Welsh societies in English towns to be affiliated to the Council. The South Monmouthshire Association had sent in a resolution protesting strongly against I. the reactionary Budget proposals of Sir Michael Hicks-Reach, more especially the proposal to impose export duty on coal, which is calculated to seriously injure the staple industry of South Wales, with a request that the general purposes committee of the National Council should imme- diately bring the matter under the consideration of the constituency associations in Wales.—On the motion of Mr H. Thomas (Llansamlet), se- conded by Mr W. H. Hughes (Pontywol), a re- solution to the same effect was adopted by the committee, with an addendum that a copy be sent to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the ILiberal members of Parliament for Wales and 'Monmouth. On the motion of Mr Algood (Cardiff), second- ed by Miss Gee (Denbigh), it was resolved, "That this committee of the Welsh National Liberal Council strongly protests, in the interests of the poorest, against the imposition of the sugar tax, and remind the electorate of the Principality I that the Conservative 'Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, while placing obnoxious imposts upon great national industries, has failed to abolish chequer, while placing obnoxious imposts upon great national industries, has failed to abolish the doles conferred upon the privileged classes by the Government, by the Agricultural Rates Act, and similar measures, and has made no attempt to readjust the burdens of taxation upon fair basis by taxing land values and other unearned increments. —— Tom John' (Llwynpia) moved1, and Mrs Richardis (Aberdare) seconded, "That the com- mittee feels that the Transvaal War having been undertaken in the supposed interest of the pre- sent generation the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have made provision in his Budget for the larger share .of its burden being borne by a direct appeal to the taxes, and protests against the large sum added to the National Debt by bor- rowing." The motion was carried unanimously. Regular quarterly meetings of the committee were arranged to be held in future. I It was agreed, on theTnotion of Mr E. R. Da- vies (Pwllheli), that the committee communicate with the Financial Reform Society; the United Kingdom Alliance, the Liberation Society, and the Cbbden dub. with the view of co-operation in the holding of mieetmgs and the distribution of literature in certain parts of the Principality. Mr Thomas Hughes (Ebbw Vale) moved and Mr W. T. Lee (Brecon) seconded, that a reprint of the Welsh registration leaflet of last year be prepared, and the motion was carried. Several important notices of motion as to fu- ture work in literature and organisation were. given, amongst them being one byMr 'E. R.

POPULATION OF THE FESTIN IOG…
POPULATION OF THE FESTIN IOG UNION. The following are the figures for the three districts of the Festiniog Union at the last census, together with the two former enumera- tions Tremadoc district: 1881, 9255; 1891 8433; 1901, 8427. Festiniog: 15.112, 14,389, and 13,827. Deudraeth 5094, 4892, and 558l' Totals: 1881,29,461; 1891, 27,734T 1901 27,835. It will be seen that there is a slight in- crease in the population compared with what it was ten years ago, but a decrease compared with the figures 20 years ago, especially in the Fes- tiniog district. It will also be seen that there has been substantial increase during the last ten years in the Deudraeth district. Y nyscynhaiam parish: 1891, 5073; 1901, 4827. During the last ten years part.,of the Ynvscynhaiarn district was added to that of Treflys. The population was 272. Add that to the 4829, and it will be 5101. The shipping list is also to be taken into- consideration. Eight years ago this was 127 but this, as well as the population of Treflys' might at present, of course, vary.
DISESTABLISHMENT.
DISESTABLISHMENT. TRIENNIAL CONFERENCE OF THE LIBERATION SOCIETY. The triennial conference of the Liberation Society opened in London on Tuesday, under the presidency of Mr Carvell Williams. The first resolution, which was adopted, expressed satisfaction that the general election had not diminished the number of the society's sup- porters in the House of Commons, and referred to the marked growth of opinion in the Estab- lished Church in favour of Liberation principles. Dr Guinness Rogers, in moving the resolution, described the general election as the most dis- creditable episode in our political history for many years, and as conducted amid a storm of lies and calumnies. Subsequent speakers included Mr Perks, M.P., Mr Compton Rickett, M.P., and Mr Alder- man White, M.P. The resolutions dealt, among other things, with the education question, and a protest was made against the establishment and endowment by the State of a Roman Catholic University in Ireland. On Wednesday, Mr J. E. Ellis, M.P., presid- ing, a paper was read by Mr D. Brynmor Jones, M. LI., on the demand for self-government in the Established Church, in the cohrsa of which be said that while Nonconformists had no wish to act the policy of the dog in the manger, they were determined that no steps should be taken which would tend to the increase of sacerdotalism. A resolution was adopted declaring the opposi- tion of the Conference to all attempts to diminish the control of Parliament over Church affairs or to alter the Church's character as a national in- stitution so long as the Church had privileges conferred upon it by the State and was possessed of large national endowments. A second resolution protested against the further endowment from national funds of the Established Church by the renewal of the Act whereby the clergy are relieved of half the rates on tithe at the cost of other ratepayers. MORDANT SPEECH BY MR LLOYD- GEORGE. Speaking at the evening meeting at the City Temple, Mr Lloyd-George, M.P., said that although public opinion had advanced, from the legislative point of view we had gone back. The priesthood, who were so very skilful, had deftly manipulated a difficult set of circumstances to their own advantage. The clergy had not been so engrossed with patriotic functions as to forget their duty to themselves — (laughter) — and whilst with one hand they had been blessing all those great patriotic influences and enterprises whilst the eyes of the nation had been reverently closed, the other hand had somehow got into the public till (laughter). The country were paying half the parson's poor rate (" Shame "). They did not sufficiently magnify the privileges they- enjoyed under the present Government (laugh- ter). He ventured to say* that no Government twenty or thirty years ago, not even the Tory Government of Mr Disraeli, would have dared to propose such a scheme as that. The tithe was raised entirely for the benefit of the poor, and it was now enjoyed by the poor by proxy (laughter). They received it vicariously, and he supposed that was why so many of those gentle- men were called vicars (laughter). It had dis- appeared in stages, and now the clergy took the satne view of the tithe as they took of the Com- munion—that no one should partake of it but the priest himself (laughter). He would suggest that the poor clergy should be assisted by the cutting down of some of the large salaries of the bishops. The bishops would then have plenty left. He did not thmk they need put the bishops on half rations (laughter).. They could deduct enough out of their own salaries, and still they would have a balance from their income which would be sufficient to buy up the whole stock in trade-boats, fishing tackle, and every haul of fish they had ever caught-of the poor fishermen of whom these good bishops pretended to be the successors (laughter). As to the question of education, he said the Government were not treating the school boards fairly. While doles were being given to clerical schools, school boards, which had a quarter of a million more children, were receiving less than formerly (" Shame ").
