R UKAL LLTFE. BY A SON OF THB SOU. I THE SCOTTISH TBBRIKR. The hardy product of North Britain has greatly increased in popularity in the South during the last ten or fifteen yeare, and, aa an exhibition variety, it is certain that the terriers which are bred even south of the Trent can hold their own with those reared on the Grampiana, or in that especially good l district between Edinburgh and the Cheviote. A stronghold of the variety is Kelso, but I have seen surprisingly good Scottish terriers in Carlisle, and even further south in Lanca- shire. I do not mind challenging any single Scottish town to produce more really good y die hards than Brighton. At a show there only a few weeks ago I saw some of the best classes it ha« ever been my good fortune to look over, and although one prominent ex- hibitor there has the bulk of his puppies reared in the South of Scotland, others swear I by Sussex, and several products of that beautiful county want a lot of beating. The illustration giv-e.s a good idea of what to look I f(,) m a Scottie. He ehould be an active, THE SCOTTISH TERRIR. I medium-sized dog. short in back, well coupled up. rough in coat, possessed of plenty of bone, and with eyes full of intelligence and affection. One? a Scottie-man always a Scottie man is an old but true saving, and, aa a sporting companion, I know of no terrier that better fills position. Brimful of affec- tion. and not quarrelsome, I can recommend the breed to anyone who wants a dog as a companion or bodyguard. A NOVEL POULTRY HOUSE. If it should rain, enow, or storm three or four days or a week at a time, making it im- practicable to allow the chicks to run out of doors, they will have in the brooder which is illustrated, when properly housed, a snug and large home, with a warm and perfectly venti- lated brooder to go to at will; and, when operated in the Hare-Curtis Portable House, will have thirty-six square feet of floor space, hgiitod. dry and comfortable, in which to exercise in an atmosphere the chill of which has been taken away by the surplus heat pouring in steady quantity through the porous fabric of the top cover of the brooder. Brooded and housed in this manner they can remain indoors with safety for days at a time, well protected and thriving, whereas if confined in a small super-ljeated space they would suffer greatly. They can go to the r PORTABLE BROODING HOUSE. I warm brooding apartment when they choose, runabout and scratch all day long, and enjoy a comfortable atmosphere that is not only healthful and invigorating, but which gradu- ally accustoms or hardens these chicks to the outside air, so that when dry, sunny days come they can be let out into the grass-grown yard connected with the house. Enclosed in the Hare-Curtis Portable House, or a similar home-made structure, this brooder can be attended to with the least labour of any port- able brooding device. The operator steps in- side the house, closes and hooks the door be- hind him, and proceeds at his leisure to care for the lamp, feed the chicks, &c. The lamp- slide is easily got at, and the lamp cannot be misplaced when the slide is returned in its position. A FOOD-SAVING DEVICE FOR THE POULTRY YARD. The dry-food hopper of which I give an illustration is a practical labour and food- I saving device for feeding dry-grain food, either whole or ground. The hoppers are well made of heavy galvanised iron, and have two compartments—a large one for grain mix- tures, holding about six quarts, and a small one for beef scrap, holding about three quarts. The trough of the hopper is high enough to prevent waste, and at the same time permit easy access to the food. It is A DRY-FOOD HOPPER. J provided with a hinged cover, which protects the grain from moisture and dust, and is also supplied with a strong handle for conv^nvenoe in filling and handling. The hopper is in- tended to be hung against the wall of a poul- try-house. This method of feeding is a most economical and practical one, and poultry farmers who arc interested in dry-feeding, and wish to economise on the cost of grain and beef-scrap, cannot afford to be without th& hopper which is illustrated. MANURING OF FRUIT TREES. Seme soils require much more manure than .then;, says a writer in the Gardeners' Chronicle. Large crops of superior fruits can onlv V obtained by a judicious application of th.. proper manures. Farmyard manures nn;t!t, nlwavs form the staple manure, and chemical manures should be regarded M auxiliaries. Potash constitutes a large pro- t'ortion of the ash of fruit trees; nitrates, whosphates, and lime must also be present in the soil, if the best results are to be obtained. Farmyard manure supplies all of tbooo. with the exception of lime, in greater or less quantities. In conjunction with farmyard manure, muriate of potash may be used with good effect at the rat.e of 51b. to a pole, or not leas than 8cwt. per acre. Phosphoric acid ehould be supplied in the form of superphos- phate, or bone meal, or basic slag. Either of theee substances may be used in the same j proportion. Lime should be applied at about every three years. No manure is necessary until the trees commence to bear fruit. If the land has been well broken up. young maiden J !vs often grow too r;gorni'«ly. and it 19 j o- 'V-ssnxy to lift them to check growth. 1-a.rM- j y.vd manure may be supplied as a top drt/ iIli at any time with good effects, more perhaps on .1 Some fruit trees in a plantation veral i re6 in ex- leiv*. planted about ten years ago in a low- lying situation, are smaller now than when they were planted, an<! many have died* be done high ground. In a district sitHated within a distance of coal mines, aothing chenld pay better than producing straight, evenly-growik pitwood. Spruce is best adapted for this pur- pose, and close planting is necessary to pro- duce clean poles. At 2ift. apart, 8,050 trees will be required to plant an acre, and allowing for 25 per oent. of failures dur- ing thirty years the remainder should pro- duce at a fair estimate 90,000 lineal feet of clean Sin. pitwood poles, worth 3s. per 100 lineal feet, eq ial to £ 135 per acre, a gross return of £4: 10s. pel acre per annum. The initial outlay should not exceed E12 per acre for plants and planting. A suitable soil and situation are indispensable conditions for purpose of producing good clear pitwood. CLOVBR HAY FOR FOWLS. Experience has often demonstrated the value of clover for egg-producing. Clover has just the material in it to form egg-shell, hence it becomes an essential part of every ration given to the fowls. It may not be generally understood that there are nearly 301b. of lime contained in each 1,0001b. of clover. The hens and pullets fed daily with clover will consequently prove better egg- lavere than those denied it. The clover hay should be given to fowls in winter in quanti- ties sufficient to satisfy them, and to make them eat more it is desirably sometimes to prepare it in various ways. Cook ana chop it, and mix it with meal or other stuff. This will sometimes induce the hens to consume a great amount of clover every day. Cut into short lengths and mixed with warm mash, and than given only as fast as the fowls will clean it up every day, is probably the most econo- mical way to supply the clover. Some people cut the second crop of clover and place it in the poultry-yard for the birds to eat and scratch over at pleasure. This of itself is all right, but it is rather wasteful. More than half the clover will be lost, and the fowls do not actually eat much more than the leaves. The stalks contain most of the lime, and these should be prepared so that the birds will consume them. Of all the foods that can be raised on a farm for poultry, clover is not only the best, but probably the cheapest, and a field of it is as essential to success as a pasture field is necessary to the success of dairying. Clover hay should be placed in a vessel at night and covered with boiling water. Cover the vessel tightly, so as to re- tain as much steam and moisture as possible. Let is stand until the morning, and use both the clover and the liquid when preparing the mash.

GOSSIP FROM THE FOOTBALL FIELD. ( I K WEEKLY CAUSERIE FROM ALL QUARTERS. The game of the week, of course, was that be- tween England and South Africa at the Crystal Palace, but it was quite spoilt, as a spectacle, by the wretched weather, and the consequent bad state of the ground. It was a, draw of one try each, and England succeeded where Wales failed, for which one ought to congratulate the homo fifteen; but from the beginning it was ap- parent that it was only laek of opportunity which prevented tho visitors from simply making ring3 round the Englishmen. That, however, was my opinion, for although the home team played fine defence, they were aided by the state of the ground, for even when the Springboks had the ball they could not hold it. and a lot of time was wasted in appeals of knocking on. Hirsch, whoso portrait is given this week, did not play—greatly to the disappointment of many of that player's admirers—and the fact that he was left out of the side let in Marsburg, and the last-named went into the three-quarter line instead of Joubert, who was placed in the responsible position of full back. Curiously enough, the conditions under which the teams met were very similar to those which prevailed en the occasion of the match with the New Zea- landers twelve months ago. The ground had not been reduoed to quite such a deplorable state as vvas the case last December, but again a drizzling rain fell from start to finish, and the later stages of the contest took place in very dismal circumstances. Again, too, the Colonials had all the best of the opening half, but there the paral- lel ended. J. G. HiRSCH (South Africa). I In preventing any score during tho first twenty minutes England had ample reason to be satis- fied. for their forwards were outmanoeuvred, and time after time the home lines were in danger. Indeed, up to the interval the Englishmen were scarcely ever dangerous. Still forwards and backs alike tackled admirably. On the other hand, the front rank, although occasionally breaking away, dribbled indifferently, and, as a rule, were speedily pulled up. As time wore on [ the conditions became so adverse that men could not be expected to hold the ball, and England I only equalised in a scramble even if their try was a botter one than that of the Colonials. The I circumstances did not admit of anyone attaining special distinction, but the home side deserved great praise for their defensive work. Jago, as expected, shewed a tendency to play offside, but he did a number of clever things. Jackett—the other member of the home side about whom some doubt was felt—did not come through the ordeal quite so satisfactorily. Still, as compared with the match against the New Zealanders, Saturday's contest sliewed English Rugby foot- ball in a very refreshing light. Everton gained an excellent victory over Derby County in the First Division of the League, and advanced to first place Sheffield Wedneisclay and Newcastle United both drawing their matches. The suocoss of the Everton team was generally expected, more especially as Derby County had been defeated on their own ground the previous week by Liverpool. In the first half they gave Everton—who were without Settle, but had Hardma.n back at outside left-- a good game. They oould not keep up their form, however, for the rest of the match, and Everton always looked like winning after Wilson had given them the lead with a good shot. In avoiding defeat at Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday aocomplishod & capital perform- ance, the Sunderland team having shewn such fine form in their more recent engagements. Though facing the breeze, Sunderland were the first to soore, but, thanks to a penalty kick, Wednesday cPrew level before half-time, and after that their defence held up strongly against some heavy pressure. Of almost equal merit was the draw effected by Newcastle United at Bramall-lane. Sheffield United had most of the game in the first half, but tho tables were turned afterwards. Ruther- ford gave a capital display, running strongly, and putting in a number of hard shots. Woolwich Arsenal had a doleful experienoe at Birmingham, whose forwards beat Ashcroft no fewer than five times. This was quite the most crushing reverse of the day, and the worst beat- rng the Arsenal have had administered to them nll the season. They still retain their position, however, ae fourth on the list. The other Southern clubi Bristol City, gained a notable victory, 11.8, after being a goal to the bad at the interval, they defeated Liverpool by 3 to 1. Norwich City has become firmly established as a popular team in the Southern League, and Mr. Bowman, who is tho manager, has gained a reward for his staunch allegiance to East Ans'Iia and its football. He was selected from a. large f. W. BOW MAX. number of applicants for the poet of manager, and he is an excellent offioiaJ in every respect. His career as an amateur with BursJem Port Vale and Stoke, hr whom he subsequently played as a professional, and then with Queen's Park Rangers, of which club he was an emi- nently successful player-seoretatv for some reasons, fully equipped him for the onerous duties which he now has to perform. So far this season me club has doro well, and there is no reason to doubt that -he Ginaric. will 00 e1'n hotter one- i toam i* f J'ly settled down.

And m gaming tneflr handsome victory the Hot- spur played splendidly. Breaxley, at outside Jeft, specially distinguished himself in a very capable forward line, which received admirable support, Bull, the oentre-half, passing with excel- lent judgment. The inclusion of F. G. Brooks in the English team calls attention to the remarkable standard of football kept up at Bedford Grammar School. As everybody knows who follows the game, they are nearly always the best football school in England. No other school has had the honour of supplying an International who was actually at the school when he got his cap. Bedford did this in the case of Milton. Brooks, it will be remembered, was given his North v. South cap while still at Bedford, and there were many who thought that he should have played for England that year. Vivian Simpson, the Sheffield Wednesday for- ward, is unable to play for England in the amateur international v. Ireland at Dublin on Saturday, and S. H. Day (Old Malvernians) has been asked to play inside-right. If Day is able to accept, the English forward line will be identi- cal with that which played against France and represented the Amateurs against the Profes- sionals in the trial match.

G Lewis lost the toss and kicked off down the field. From the start the Pressmen pressed. and Lewis Williams was within an ace of scor- ing, but shot wide. Tuckfkldgained possestiow aud made tracks for the visitors' goal. T Batten saved at the expense of a corner, which was manipulated by George Lewis, and from a pass by J Parry Evans W Rawson Hughes suc- ceeded in drawing tirst blood for the Guild. This reverse put the veterans into action. nnd an attack led by E Hughes ended in T Williams handling the ball through the home goal. The free kick which ensued was dis- puted, but the referee's decision proved to be final. A corner was conceded by E Davies and Fred Lloyd took the kick, W Rawson Hughes heading over the bar. Half-time arrived with the homesters leading by 1 goal. After the in- terval the Pressmen grew desperate, and the Guildites did not leave their own territory for at least fifteen minutes, when at length Walt Lewis gave to George Lewis, who ran the 100 yards in fine style and centred beautifully, Tuckfield sending in a fine shot which T Batten Jones saved. The homesters came on again, the ball being in possession of J Parry Evans, who was tripped by A Ward in the dreaded area. The penalty kick was taken by E Hughes, who failed to score, the ball missing the post by inches. From the goal kick the Guilditea, with Fred Lloyd at their bead, were determined to score, and from a rush in front of goal J 0 Hughes, the home right half, scored his first goal of the season with a splendid shot which, catching one of the spectators on the chest, sent him flying, notwithstanding the heroic efforts of the custodian to save.

Dear Sir,—Will you kindly allow me a little space in your valuable paper to refer in a few words to the deplorable condition of football in Denbigh. On Saturday last, at the Graig-road field, I witnessed part of the game between the representative Denbigh eleven and Rhyl Victoria, in which the homesters were trounced to the lively tune of 9 goals to 1 Had some of the Denbigh players taken more interest in looking after the ) ball instead of going for the men, no doubt the score would have been less against them. It is a pity that some players cannot control II their tempers. Whether they win or lose, let them always play the game like true sports- men. But cannot the committee, which is an excellent one, get better players in the team. Perhaps if the brothers Davies were approached by some members of the committee, no doubt they would be successful in getting them to play. These clever exponents of the winter pastime, I feel confident, would not e'J"e to assist their native town, in which trtey ic«rnfe their tootbaii.
