| How to take | Cod=Liver Oil. i$§L 1 fvjj It is economy to take cod-liver oil in the form that will do the most good. It is also common m USt B sense. When you give plain cod-liver oil to a baby you notice that much, if not all, of it passes through and out of jKp M the body in its original form. It has not been converted into an m emulsion by the delicate system, and, consequently, could not be g ftl absorbed into the blood. It has done little or no good. p A You do not notice this with Scott's Emulsion. There is no |l trace of the oil after it is taken. Is this not proof positive that Scott's Emulsion is absorbed when plain oil is not ? It is a simple |fij test, and yet one which has convinced many a physician of Scott's pp Emulsion's merit. ||| Science has never found a substitute for cod-liver oil. It is S adapted to weakened, emaciated, wasting tendencies at any age of W gm life—that is, if the system can make an emulsion of it. || gm life—that is, if the system can make an emulsion of it. || But Scott's Emulsion is already a perfect emulsion, and saves || the system unnecessary effort. Besides which, Scott's Emulsion 0 is perfectly palatable. f L There is only one Scott's Emulsion. Ii ,J- SCOTT & BOWNE (LTD.), LONDON, E.C.

THE SKASON : EXPECTATIONS…
THE SKASON EXPECTATIONS AND RESULTS A fair amount of rain has fallen at intervals during the week, yet the weather can scarcely be said to have 'broken,' in the sense we are apt to speak of it at this time of year. The sun has shone quite strongly for several hours on many days, and though cloudy and some- times cool weather has alternated, we have had nothing of that gloom for which the month is characteristic. The break in the drought has been welcomed for the completion ot wheat sowing, and in all probability this work may be continued so long as the season remains open, and as favourable opportunities of sow- ing may induce farmers to extend their acreage of this crop, while to the swedes and turnips yet standing the rainfall has been highly beneficial. A correspondent in the Cambridgeshire dis- trict writes: Last year, at the present date, a field of wheat shewing above ground was an uncommon spectacle now, in striking contrast, almost all the wheat, beans, winter oats, and other autumn-sown crops are looking beauti- fully green and verdant, with a full plant, which on the heavy clay is the chief requisite for a good harvest, my experience being that, where (as last year) a good seed-bed was impossible through the heavy rainfall, full crops rarely follow. Farm work of all descriptions is in a very forward state, owing to the fine weather of the past two months, the rainfall only being sufficient to make sowing practicable without hindrance to the raising of potatoes, carting mangels, &c." Reports from different parts of the country, now that the corn is being threshed out, state that the yield is not so good as it was expected to be after the amount of sunshine we were favoured with during the past summer, and the I quantity of tail corn is greater than usual, especially barley, and in some cases fully a third of the crop is of the latter. As an instance, a correspondent from Mid Oxfordshire states he was threshing hard all one morning for lljqrs. from a crop which was considered one ot the best in the district, and he estimates the yield at 3qrs. per acre instead of 5qrs. Against such cases as this, however, may be set the following, although we are afraid it is a somewhat isolated one:-A small stack of oats, the produce of three statute acres of land on the farm of Mr. Tom Eardley, of K iighton, on the borders of West Staffordshire, was threshed out recently, and gave the very heavy yield for the district of 54 bags of best corn, each bag weighing 2001b., and about four bags of light corn, which is equal to a crop of fully 77 bushels of 50lb. weight to the acre, this being the weight calculated to the bushel in the locality, though much in excels of that of the standard measure. THE POSITION OF CHEESE. Probably no other article in provisions, says the Grocers' Gazette, is exciting so much com- ment as- cheese at the moment, the extreme depression of the market being the feature. Stocks everywhere are large, and although prices are very low yet buyers do not seem inclined to speculate. The latest news from Canada is still discouraging, and values are now about 10s. per cwt. down from the highest for Septembers. It is clear that the make this season has been unprecedently large, and the question now arises as to whether or not more is produced than Great Britain can consume- anyhow at a fair price. Those who are not in stock can make purchases on very favour- able terms, but as is usual on such markets, buyers persist in holding off until they think the lowest point is at hand, and apparently, to their minds, the required level has yet to be reached. Some dealers, however, think that cheese is now low enough, and that the con- sumption will increase, being stimulated by the low prices. Should such turn out to be correct the change in the aspect would be welcomed by more than a few. CROSS-FERTILISATION OF CEREALS. Under this heading corresppondence has appeared in some agricultural papers— originating in statements made in the London Daily Mail referring to experi- ments in cross-fertilisation of cereals and other agricultural plants at Sleaford. The article would lead readers to suppose that this was a new discovery, but the proposition is almost absurd, as it is well known to anyone of any standing in agricultural matters that the system of hybridisation or cross-fertilisation as applied to cereals has engaged the attention for many years—and with considerable success—of most of the eminent seed growers of this country. This is effectively proved by Messrs. James Carter and Co., of Forest Hill, quoting from The Times, the 'Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society,' The Field, and other papers of nearly 10 years ago, shewing that the subject was even long before then a prominent one, and receiving close investigation by those interested, as it still continues to do. The Reyal Agricultural Society and the Royal Hor- ticultural Society entertained it more than 20 years since, and on several occasions papers have been read on, and prizes offered for, improved varieties of cereals. The conclusion to be drawn, therefore, is that our lively contem- porary the Mail has somewhat missed its mark in trying to 'astonish the natives* in regard to an already well-worn agricultural theory. 'NEW LIGHT ON AN OLD SUBJECT.' Within the laitt few years the opinion has been steadily gaining ground that, say what you may in regard to artificial manures as fertilisers of the soil, few, if any, are to be found equal to and certainly not to surpass the old-fashioned, time-honoured, time-out-of-mind farm-yard manure. A writer in the Land Magazine, in the course of an article under the above heading, demonstrates very forcibly that not only is this the case, but that again and again the addition of artificials to a fair dress- ing of farm-yard manure, with a view to in- creased fertility, has been found to exert littltf or no effect on the crop. And as if to afford ocular proof, in a tabulated form he brings before the reader figures respecting averages of crops of swedes, barley and hay, variously treated, viz., simply with farm-yard manure, and in three instances with artificials added in gradually increased proportions, shewing plainly that only in one case-where the smallest quantity was used-was anything gained, and that only a comparatively infinitesimal amount. Experiments in the direction alluded to have been carried on concurrently by Dr. W. Somerville, Professor of Agriculture in the University College at Newcastle-on-Tyne, Dr. Wagner, of Darmstadt, Professor Maercker, of Halle, and others, and though they are not yet completed, they so far furnish conclusions of a startling description it is this that the action of artificials com- monly used with dung is, under certain con- ditions, entirely neutralised, and the money expended on such artificials might as well be thrown into the sea. Farmyard manure is the cultivator's sheet anchor, but it, and indeed all other manures, should be applied as far as practicable in the spring, when needed by the crops, otherwise the greater portion of the fertilising properties are lost. BIRMINGHAM AND THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SHOW. It seems not at all improbable that the next annual show of the Royal Agricultural Society will be held in the neighbourhood of Birming- ham. As was intimated last week, a movement was being made in that direction, the City Council having expressed themselves ip its favour, and the matter was left in abeyance pending an expression of opinion from a public meeting to be called for the purpose. The latter was held on Wednesday last, under the presidency of tho Lord Mayor, who explained that the society would require a guarantee of X2,000, in addition to which there would be the cost of preparing the site. His lordship, after mentioning a number of handsome subscriptions already promised, moved that the meeting approve of the invita- tion being sent, and the motion having been unanimously adopted, a large and influential committee was appointed to supervise the preliminaries. THE SCOTTISH CHAMBER OF AGRICULTURE AND TUBERCULOSIS. The Scottish Chamber of Agriculture has drawn up a memorandum on the subject of tuberculosis. It is suggested that a more uniform and thorough system of inspection of animals for slaughter, carcases and dead meat should be made compulsory, and that all inspectors should be properly qualified veterinary surgeons.
CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
CHESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Cheshire Agricul- tural Society will be held this week. The committee, in their 59th report, tender their hearty thanks to the Right Hon. the Earl of Crewe for acting as president for the year, and the great interest he has taken in the welfare of the society. The committee also beg to thank the Mayor of Crewe (Alderman McNeill), and the Crewe local committee for their invitation and kindly co-operation, that contributed so much to the success of the show, and also for their donation of X166 10s. to the funds of the society, besides L15 in additional prizes. Messrs. F. Lloyd. Nuttall and Cot kindly placed the Cattle Market at the disposal of the society, thereby saving considerable expense in fitting up the show yard. The Crewe Canine Association held their exhibition in the show yard on tho same date, which no doubt proved an additional attraction. The thanks of the society are due to the Earl of Crewe, Earl Egerton of fatten, the Mayor of Chester, the Tarporley Hunt Club, Messrs. Lloyd, Nuttall, and Co., the Great Britain and Ireland Shorthorn Society, Mr. A. S. Day, and the Polo Pony Stud Book Society, for the special prizes and medals they offered for competition. The entries numerically were above the average, except in the pig classes, which, owing to the prevalence of swine fever, were less. The society has during the past year worked under the regulation of the reorganisation scheme sanctioned at the meeting of members held on January 25th last, and the committee have reason to believe that it will result in much ultimate good. The balance in hand shews an increase of £ 136 3s. 2d. over that of last year. During the past year 31 new members have been elected, 6 have died, and 17 retired.

MR. YERBURGH AND WHEAT GRANARIES.— Mr. Yerburgh, M.P., writes to the Morning Post:—Will you permit me to say that it is not the case, as stated by Mr. Read in your columns of Saturday last, that 'Mr. Yerburgh's Committee on State Granaries has cleared up one point, that is, that .vheat will not keep in granaries in this country.' To put it shortly, the position stands thns: As regards dry foreign wheats, opinion is practically unanimous that they will keep in gtranaries, while as to the keeping qualities of British wheats opinion is divided, some witnesses holding that they will keep in granaries (1) if well got in fine weather, (2) if stored with dry foreign wheats, (3) if artificially dried; others alleging that they cannot be kept under any conditions except in the stack. I may add that as regards the respective merits of a bounty and of national granaries, millers must of necessity be prejudiced witnesses, any policy that will increase production of wheat at the cost of the nation being distinctly to their advantage.
VOLUNTEER PRIZE DISTRIBUTION…
VOLUNTEER PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AT FRODSHAM. The annual concert and prize distribution of I Company, 2nd (Earl of Chester's) V.B. Cheshire Regiment, came off in the Town Hall, Frodsham, on Wednesday evening, before a crowded audience. The room was tastefully adorned with bunting. These concerts have earned during the last few years an excellent reputation, and thanks are due to the indefati- gable Staff-Sergt. Thomas Evans, who spares no energy and trouble in order to ensure success. The first part of the programme consisted of vocal music, the proceedings opening with a quartette by the Misses Louise Rycroft and Alice Whittaker and Messrs. Halton Morris and W. H. Chisholm. Mr. W. H. Chisholm was heard to advantage in those time-honoured songs To-morrow will be Friday and The Village Blacksmith,' while Mr. Halton Morris sang By the Fountain' and I Alice, where art thou?' in a creditable manner. Molloy's Love's Old Sweet Song was exceedingly well rendered by Miss Alice Whittaker, her enuncia- tion and expression shewing careful training. Miss Louisa Rycroft (soprano) had an enthusiastic reception for her rendering of Balfe's Killarney,' responding with On the Banks of Allan Water,' which was equally well sung. Her other song, The Car- nival,' by Molloy, was also deservedly encored, and she replied with 'Tar-s Hall.' During an interval Major Harrison gave his usual statistics regarding the progress of the Volunteers. He said that the strength of the company was 80. The total number of drills during the year for trained Volunteers was 65, and for recruits 94, while the average attendance at drill for each man was 38; that of recruits being 76. The average of the whole company for class firing for 1897 was 90, or 30 points in excess of last year, and one point above the average of the whole battalion. Six men had put in the whole number of drills, viz., 65. The silver cup, presented by the late Mr. Jamas Reynolds for drill handicap competition was won by Private William Bean. He was proud to say that they still held the Battalion Challenge Cup for being the best drilled company in the battalion, no company having competed against them this year. (Applause.) He also wished to thank the tradespeople of the district for their liberal support to the Volunteers, and to testify to the sterling good qualities of their sergeant-instructor (Thomas Evans), who would shortly sever his connection with them. He had managed the company in a most able manner, and brought it to a greater perfection than they had ever before reached.— Colonel Ashton also testified to the sterling abilities of Sergt. Evans. The company had progressed ever since he joined them, and now he (Sergt. Evans) had the satisfaction of know- ing that they stood at the top of the tree, thanks to his perseverance and untiring energy.—Mrs. Blogg distributed the prizes.— The Battalion Challenge Cup was won by Lance-Corporal Farrell, who succeeded in getting 67 points out of a possible 70. Besides this he also won the first prize for class-firing, first prize in the extra series competition, third prize in the com- pany handicap competition, and fourth prize in the drill handicap competition. Corpl. F. Davies gained the premier prize, value 3, in the company handicap competition, 2nd prize in class firing, 3rd prize in the drill handicap competition, besides being equal in the drill attendance competition with five others, and gaining an extra series competition prize. Private Wm. Bean gained the 1st prize in the drill handicap competition, followed by Laner.-Corpl. W. H. Warburton. The recruits' prize competition resulted as follows:—1, Private G. A. Tudor; 2, Private F. Darlington; and 3, Private W. Ainsworth. Sergt. E. W. Birtles also succeeded in gaining prizes in the company handicap, drill handicap, class firing (3rd prize), drill attendance, and extra series competition. The singing of the National Anthem concluded an enjoyable evening's entertainment.

Saturtoag's jfootimll* """""'/''-'-"---------""'--'''''''''-'''''''-''-'''''''''''''''''r-../''Oo.'''-''
Saturtoag's jfootimll* "r-Oo. There was a stiff struggle at Chester on Saturday between the Cestrian team and the Druids, who met in a Combination fixture. Three of the usual Chester eleven, Speakman, Blake- man, and Roberts, were absent, their places being taken by Webster, Woodward, and Wood. the latter making his appearance once more after having been on the sick list as regards football playing for some weeks. Chester kicked off before a fairly large attendance. The visitors at once rushed down, and the pace became a trifle warm. Then the Cestrians got away, and Webster, shewing a glimpse of the style he exhibited a year or two ago, dashed up the left wing in fine style, shooting just past to finish up with. The Druids buzzed about in mid-field from the goal kick, but they were broken by the home halves, and sent to the right about, Gordon and Spencer executing a neat bit of work on the right wing. A corner resulted, which was beautifully put in. The ball slid along the side of the cross-bar, and though it was fiercely banged about in the goal mouth it was cleared by a miracle, and play was once more transferred to other quarters. The Druids' inside left sent in a shot which went in humming, but Coventry watched its flight quite calmly, caught it, dodged the forwards, and kicked it to the other end of the field. Not to be denied, the Druids came again, and were rather dangerous, Woodward, partnering Wilson at back, missing his kick, and letting the visitors through once, while one of them shortly afterwards waited in the goal- mouth for a centre, and then tipped the ball through. It was palpably an off-side goal, and was given as one by the referee. Later on the Chester goal had a miraculous escape, as Coventry at one end of the goal flopped' himself down in trying to save a shot which was rolling in at the other corner. The ball rebounded off the upright and again into the goal mouth from a Druid forward, Wilson dashing in and clearing mightily in the nick of time. Up to this period the visitors were exhibiting slightly better tactics than the Cestrians, but the latter now began to stride about in better style, and bustled their opponents about smartly. The homesters again got up, and another scrimmage, short and sharp, took place in front of the Druids' citadel. The ball was cleared, and Spencer, having a good opening, shot past. So the game went on until half-time, Webster, Gordon, and Spencer putting in some fine work in attacking while the defence on both sides was superb. Wood shot over after some really brilliant passing among the Chester front rankers, while Spencer immediately afterwards had a chance, but he hesitated and—well, he who hesitates is lost. The homesters shot and shot again, and once the Druids' goalkeeper held the ball, and cleared from a scrimmage amid great excite- ment. Half-time arrived with the score-sheet clean. From the re-start the Cestrians at once got away, and Webster was conspicuous for a brilliant dash. He was on the point of shooting when he was fouled, apparently within the 12 yards' line. The referee consulted with the linesmen, and gave a corner, and not a penalty, as everyone expected. Nothing resulted, but another corner occurred in a few minutes, which Barker put in well. It was partly cleared, but Gordon, who was hovering at the back of the crowd, obtained possession, returned it to Barker, who was running in from the corner, and dashing in received it again from that player. Then he banged it through while the spectators cheered and cheered again. This proved to be the only goal of the match, for although both sides strove hard the defence of each was beyond reproach. End to end play was the order of the game for the last twenty- five minutes, and it was not until within a few seconds of the call of time when Coventry, by a huge kick, cleared a shot which was coming in in a tremendous hurry. It was a grand save, and as soon as it was accomplished the whistle blew, leaving Chester the winners of a well- fought game by one goal to none. Under the auspices of the League seven First Division matches were brought to an issue on Saturday,ibut in direct contrastto the results of the previous week the scoring was extremely meagre. Bolton Wanderers gained one of the best victories of the day. defeating the Villa by two goals to nil after having most of the play throughout, and as the United again emerged scathless at Ewood Park the lead of the Sheffield organisation accordingly becomes strengthened. In the latter game the Rovers led at half-time, but failed to maintain the advantage against their powerful opponents, who equalised in the second portion. West Bromwich accounted rather easily for Derby County, who rarely do themselves justice against the Throstles, the latter with Sheffield Wednesday scoring more goals than any other winning club of the day. Notts Forest are going very strongly, and gained their second successive away victory, defeating Stoke by the same score as they did Liverpool. Sheffield Wednesday obtained the most decisive victory, disposing of Bury by three goals to nil, and at present the two Sheffield clubs are enjoying a particularly rosy time. Everton tried conclu- sions with Preston North End, the game resulting in a draw of one goal each, while Liverpool had better luck and defeated the Wolves by one to none. Little interest attached to the Cheshire and Westmorland Rugby County Championship match at Kendal Both counties had previously lost two games, Westmorland being beaten by Northumberland and Lancashire, and Cheshire by Lancashire anto. Cumberland. Both counties were well represented, and an even game took place. For some little time the game was con- fined to the Cheshire half, and Maw and Carradus nearly succeeded in scoring. After a while the Cheshire men had the best of the play, and some good work for them was done by Parrot, Herschell, and Cannell. The last-named eventually gained a try and placed a goal, so that at half-time Cheshire led by five points to nil. The second half was keenly contested, and there was little to choose between the teams. In the loose the Westmorland men were the Biuarter, and frequently gained ground, but Cheshire had the stronger backs. Marquis, < Cannell, and Fletcher doing good work. Tippin I gained a further try for Cheshire, while Car- radus obtained a similar point for Westmore- land, the place kick in each instance failing. Towards the finish Westmorland pressed, but there was no further scoring, and Cheshire won by 1 goal and 1 try to 1 try.
SIR W. WYNN'S HOUNDS.
SIR W. WYNN'S HOUNDS. These hounds met on Friday at Penley, some two miles from Overton. The field included Sir W. Wynn, Mr. Mostyn Owen, Mr. F. E. Cotton (Erbistock Hall), Mr. Edmund Peel and the Misses Peel (Brynypys), Mr. J. Howard and the Misses Howard (Broughton Hall, Malpas), Col. Middleton Biddulph (Chirk Castle), the Hon. G. R. C. Ormsby Gore (The Lodge, Malpas), Mr. S. H. Sandbach (Cherry-hill, Malpas), &c. Penley New Gorse was first drawn, and a fine fox went away, which, however, after a three miles' gallop went to ground. Penley dingles held several cubs. One gave promise of a run, but was caught in some wire in Penley Hall gardens, and hounds had him in a twinkle. Later on a clinking run of over an hour from the Black Wood ended in Reynard's defeat, but only those specially well horsed saw it out. Macefen was the meeting place on Saturday. The field comprised Sir W. Wynn (the Master), Colonel Rivers Bulkeley, Lord Kenyon, Gen. the Hon. Savage Mostyn, the Hon. G. R. C. Ormsby-Gore, Captain R. W. Ethelston, Mr. S. H. and Miss Sandbach, Cherry Hill; Lord Gerald Grosvenor, Colonel Barnston, Mr. and Mrs. Greenshields, The Beeches, Malpas; Capt. Featherstonbaugh, Mr. R. C. Drury, Chester; Mr. Surtees and Miss Thompson, The Bolling, Malpas; Mr. and Mrs. Hartley, Chorlton Hall, Malpas; Mrs. and Miss Rasbotham, Ebnal Grange, Malpas Mr. J. Howard and the Misses Howard, Broughton Hall; Mr. Willding Jones, Mr. W. C. Willding Jones -and Miss Willding Jones, Hampton Hall; Mr. C. T. Dugdale, Ter- rick Hall; Mr. C. Parsons, Malpas; Mr. Brassey, Cuddington; Mr. Brocklebank, Mr. Joynson, Tilston Mr. R. Weaver, Carden; Mr. Swetenham, Chester; Mr. Eardley, Newton Hall, Malpas; Rev. the Hon. A. R. Parker, Malpas, &c. Hounds were sent into Macefen Gorse, and gave tongue immediately, there being either three or four foxes in the cover. Scent was not good, and two got away from one end while hounds were at another part, but at last one came out at the top and ran over the field pointing for Macefen Church, and, crossing the road, made on to the Barbill Farm (Mr. Higgins's), straight to the sandhole, and there went to ground. Twenty minutes sufficed to bring the fox to light, and in another couple of minutes hounds were dividing the spoil. Straight on to Hampton Hall new gorse, and the welcome Forrard, gone away,' was soon heard. The fox was probably a young one, but he proved too good for the hounds, the run lasting about 35 minutes. Several nice gallops followed, while the last, and best, was right up to Tybroughton Hall, the residence of Mr. T. Joynson, the Master of the Beagles, and into a cover at the back of the hall, where all was soon up with him.
THE CHESHIRE BEAGLES.
THE CHESHIRE BEAGLES. On Tuesday these hounds met at Mollington Canal Bridge. The Master (Mr. Alfred Blain) was not present, so the deputy (Mr. Percy Roberts) took his place. A good attendance included Mr. N. Caine, Mr. S. Smyth, Mr. Wm. Swetenham, Col. Haioersley, Captain Upperton, Mr. J. Turbett, Miss B. Bretherton, Mrs. G. Hayes, Messrs. Gerald and Guy Barker, Mr. C. Smith, Mr. Harold Broadbent, Miss Broadbent, Mr. H. Newsome, Mr. Caine, jun., Mr. Kent, &c. We first tried a small field at Mtllington Banistre, where a hare had been frequently seen sitting, and fortunately found her at home. Hounds took her across Crabwall Hall fields, and at once it became apparent that there was a very fleeting, catchy, sort of scent. Turning left-handed puss went across the Parkes, and crossed the road at the second mile stone. On the further side the ground was stained by sheep, and hounds had some difficulty in making the scent out, but this obstacle passed they soon worked up to her, clapped upon a freshly-worked fallow field, and now they bustled her along in earnest, and when she crossed over the road again were only a few yards behind her. A check in the grounds at Crabwall Hall, the residence of Mr. John Davies, gave her a short respite. They after- wards hit off the lina beyond. the gardens, and went away at a good pace, and a few fields further came up to her, clapped upon a ploughed field, and, coursing her in view, turned her out at the end of the field. A s they came back along the headland, two hounds, Benedict and Bluster, were racing for her scut, and so fiercely did they strike that both they and the hare rolled through the fence into the ditch below. This run was just 32 minutes. After drawing for some time we found again, but scent was poor. This hare headed in the direction of Sealand, but hounds could not take it beyond the railway near Saughall Station. We next had a run of 35 minutes' duration in the Sealand and Blacon Point district, but finally we put up so many fresh hares in Mr. Thomas Smith's farm that hounds were drawn off. LEVERET.
