FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
FOOTBALL GOSSIP. MEN AND MATTERS OF THE MOMENT By B. BENNISON. ILLUSTRATED BY JACK DODWORTH Christmas junketing- having ceased, and nor- mal times having- come round, the footballer is again the soul of seriousness. The fashion is to hang on to the English Cup competition; from to-day the League, in a way. takes a back seat, though the clubs fearful of relegation, together with those hopeful of promotion, probably care little about the power and glory of the amazing competition run by the Football Association. Everton, now Bert Freeman has found the way to the goal again, and there is a general settled- ness about the whole team, are ail intent upon the championship, though the Cup. of course, to I them is of the utmost importance. Everton never made a better bargain than when they in- duced Freeman to leave Woolwich, in company with Coleman. Tottenham Hotspur, who were much the better side, succeeded in beating Leeds City by three goals to none. They are now third in the table of merit. Bolton Wanderers, who are in the second posir tion, have made 31 points out of twenty- three games to 28 out of twenty-one matches by Tottenham, so that the London club, if they maintain their I present form, will soon be next to top place. That trouncing ad- ministered unto New- castle by Sunderland has done the United much good. Newcastle have played o,6 a new team since that astounding happening, and I am sure that the people at Leicester, who are in the throes of despair, will testify to their grand ability. What is going to become of Leiceciter? They hold out no promise of improvement at all, and it seems absurd to expect them to escape being sent down. ThjY have this consolation It is a very poor one. it is true they can say that if anything they have done better than Bradford City. Really, the Yorkshiremen defy understanding. Their officials have been racing round the country from the moment they were convinced that greater strength was necessary, but though they have had a surprisingly large number of players through their hands since last April—quite a little army, in fact—they have still to get together a reliable team. Since the Association game ousted Rugby at Bradford there has never been such a melancholy story to tell. We have Bradford, rich in resources, very much at the wrong end of the Second Division table. The future must be of more concern to the club whose home is at Park Avenue than it is to the City, for the latter, if they are dis- missed from their present company, will go back automatically to the Second Division, whereas Bradford, if they are obliged to seek re-election, may be passed over. Preston North End are going great guns, and one is very pleased. One does not like to see a club with such a history going wrong. Man- chester United had a great shock when they met the men from Deepdale, and unless they quickly regain their proper form the odds are that they will very soon have to give up all idea of retaining the championship. The United, whose defeat gave Sheffield Wednesday a step up to third place, can plead that the majority of their failings have been due to injuries to their players. The loss of James Turnbull, and now the breakdown of Halse. the young man from Southend, have had a most disturbing effect. One of the reasons for the occasional lapses of the Manchester men, however, is their heavy, impossible ground. The. v/onder is that for the greater part of the season they can play football at Clayton at all. I am sure the players and public alike will be glad when they arc installed in the new home which is being made for them at Old Trafford. Aston Villa are very disappointing, while Bir- mingham are going- fron bad to worse. Who would have thought that Gainsborough would have been able to divide points at St. Andrews a couple of months ago? Birmingham can now rest content that they will not go up. The really consistent team in the Midlands are Wet Brom- wich Albion. The "Throstles." by the wav, have done a good stroke of business in securing the transfer of Harris from the Villa. Talking about changes, I see that Bolton Wanderers have induced Millwall to part with Hunter. Bolton have secured an excellent player in this young Scot, who in better com- pany, and with a good partner will do well. He has been a good servant to Millwall. The most sensational change is the coming ot James Sharp from Glasgow Rangers to Fulham. Sharp, it will be remembered, went to the Rangers from Woolwich Arsenai, and that while at Plumstead he proved to be the be-st full- back in Britain. Chelsea could have done with such a back as Sharp such a player is badly wanted at Stam- ford Bridge. The victories of the two London clubs last Saturday were very welcome, by the bye. I doubt whether Sharp will help Fulham into the First League. I think he has arrived at Craven Cottage too late; at a time when Fulham have practically ruined a most ex- cellent chaCnce of promotion. Bolton are kecp- inO" well in the race; but we have Tottenham ready to jump in front of them the moment they start to wobble. I think it is fair to assume that Stockport County have given up the idea of making history by joining the seniors, and Glos- sop have only flattered to deceive. Their pre- sent form is a sorry anti-climax to their sudden show of power. Oldham Athletic made a hard though unsuccessful fight at Derby.

I am writing before the English selectors have decided who shall be tlio companion of William- eon. the Oxonian, at half- back. After seeing the game between Black- hcath and Fettes Loret- tonians I am sure that Ashcroft, of Cambridge, would bo an ideal part- i.er for him, and I shall be surprised if he is not chosen. This match, by the bye, was remarkable for some very nice play by the Scotch Old Boys, whose rushes were tho feature of the game. Their win was well deserved. Wales has been very hard hit by the unfor- ¡ tunate accident to Gibbs, who broke his arm in his club's match with Penarth. His mishap will, of course, keep him out of the side that is to oppose England a week hence. The Welsh selec- tors will have much difficulty in finding the right man for his placd. One wonders how the Australians will fare in the game with England this week-end at Blackheath. Recent events, which have been of a most regrettable char- acter. have robbed them of Griffen and Burge, two fine forwards. I doubt whether the Austra- lians will escape defeat. In any case, it is hoped that they will observe the strict letter of the firame.
- ------____----CONSTIPATION…
CONSTIPATION CAUSES WEAKNESS. CHAS. FORDE'S BILE BEANS CURE PAINLESSLY. HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS ENDED. When I got up in a morning after a night's sleep, I used to feel more tired and drowsy than when I went to bed," said Mrs Margaret McFelly, of 4, Clune Brae Foot, Port Glasgow, to a, "Greenock Herald reporter. "My sufferings started about eighteen months ago, when I began to be troubled with constipation. My head became heavy, and often I would turn quite dizzy. I had always been fond of hard work, and it made me very miserable when I was too ill to attend to my housework. Several doctors attended me afc- various times, but though I gave each a good trial, and took quite a quantity of tnerlici.,ie,-I did not derive the slightest benefit. I lost my appetite and became thin and weak through lack of nourishment and consequent poorness of blood. I couldn't rouse myself; no matter what I took overnight, the next day I would get up feeling lifeless and with the headaches and dizziness still troubling me. My health fuiled rapidly, and I began to be afraid that I should not get better. When I began to take Chas. Forde's Bile Beans I was in a very weak condition, and had lost all heart, but in a short time I felt better and brighter. Chas. Forde's Bile Beans strengthened my weak stomach and bowels, and improved the quality of my blood. I re- gained my lost energy, and I could eat more food, so increased in weight. Every day I im- proved, until I was quite free from dizziness and headaches, my stomach and bowels were working naturally, and I felt healthier aod better than ever before. There is no doubt it was Chaq. Ford,'o Bile Beans alode that cured me, for from the time I commenced taking them I never took any other medicine. When buying the Beans I always took care to get a box With « CHARLES FORDE'S' printed on the label." CHAS.

RURAL LIFE.
RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. A NOTE OX CATS. A correspondent. "Old Maid," writes inquir- ing about the markings of the Brown Tabby. According to Mr. Harrison Weir, it is best bred from a strongly-marked male Tabby and a female Tortoise-hell with little black or red tabby. Brown Tabbies are comparatively un- common, for the true ground colour must be a rich "orangey, dark brown." There should be no white ai"i the hands should be elegaat, even, THE BROWS TABBY CAT. I distinct, and not too broad, and of deep shiny black. Except on the face and slightly on the forelegs there must be no spots. The eye.- are orange, slightly touched with green; and the true colour of the whiskers is orange, not white. It will quickly he understood that in .such an animal there is considerable difference from the ordinary greyish dark brown Tabby. Where parents of the required description are avail- able, cat-lovers should see if they cannot obtain specimens of this beautiful variety. VEGETABLES IN EARLY SPRIXG. Vegetables, such as Radish, Turnip, Carrot, and Lettuce, are always welcome in early spring. With the expenditure of a little trouble and patience the culture of these early vege- tables is very simple. A sheltered border slop- ing to the south should be as soon as possible dug and well pulverised; it is then lightly trodden by walking over it with the feet close together, raked level, and then, with a hoe, drills are drawn at about 3in. apart and lin. deep. Into these good new seed is thinly sown; then there is spread over it a dressing of well- decayed horse manure and gritty sand, such as that scraped from the roads, which is an excel- lent preventive against slugs. The surface is next smoothed over, and then comes the part of the process, upon which success or failure mainly depends the covering with long straw or loose long litter made therefrom. Just suffi- cient should be spread over to bring up and protect the young plant without smothering or drawing it up, and it may be deemed sufficient when not so thickly laid as to darken the soil. Upon the straw some long sticks should be placed to keep it from being blown about by the wind, and so it may remain until the planti-, can be seen, when it may be removed carefully on fine days, and returned again at night, and directly the tops. possess sufficient strength and the weather loses some of its wintry character it may be cleared quite away. Successional early crops may be treated in a similar manner. SEE AT SMITHFIELD SHOW. Besides it3 many advantages, such a show as that held at Islington has the special one of offering visitors and exhibitors an opportunity of inspecting the latest mechanical improve- ments in the machinery which has come to hold such an important place on the farm. Most farmers by now realise their great dependence on up-to-date methods, and few care to neglect the chance, when it comes, of learning what U A SIDE DELIVERY BAXE. they can about new labour and time-sarrng de- vices. There is at a large show, too, the addi- tional advantage of being able to compare differ- ent makes and prices. A salesman's goods seem so perfect, so desirable, when there are no others near, and a man is sometimes induced to purchase before he has studied the market as he would have liked. The side deliverv rake, of which I give a sketch, is an ingenious piece of machinery offered by a well-known firm, and is, so far as I know, quite the latest and best of its kind. WIND PROTECTION FOR PLANTATIONS. Of the British timber trees which seem best suited to resist uprooting by wind are, on low- lying, fairly level ground, Oak, Beech, Ash, and Sycamore; and, on exposed situations, Beech, Sycamore, Oak. and Ash. When forming a Scotch fir plantation on a high and exposed situation a protective shelter belt of pure Beech should first be formed on the windward side of the plantation. The Beech should be placed at least eight feet apart and the outer line should be encouraged to carry the branches as close to the ground as possible, allowing those on the inner lines to increase their height-growth. After this windbreak is completed the Scotch Fir can be safely planted. On low-lying level ground of poor quality, where Scotch Fir is intended to form the principal crop, Beech should form tho protection on the windward side, and it should also be freely intermixed with the pines, as it is a, splendid soil-improving tree. Seedling Beeches grow well even on a poor soil amongst either Scotch Fir or Larch. Near the sea coast the Svcamore takes the place of the Beech as a pro- tective tree. A very safe rule is to observe the hardwoods in any particular district, and use those for protective purposes which stand best on exposed situations, writes Mr. Wm. Forbes in the Estates Gazette. The force of the wind is alwavs broken by a close growth of. underwood, and every effort should be made to direct it up- wards to pass harmlessly over the tree tops. Wind, like water, may be easily turnecv but never stopped. FOR MILCH CATTLE. Some time ago a reader wrote asking for ad- vice in dealing with a cow which had an annoy- ing and expensive habit of stealing her milk. Either of the devices shewn in my sketch will be found effective in preventing or quickly curing an animal of the vice. In fitting them, great care must be taken to see that they arc not likely to do injury to the cow or to prevent htir DEVICES TO PltEVEXT SELF-SL'CKIXG. lying down or drinking and eating comfortably. The sketches, which do not need further descrip- tion and explain themselves, are made from a practical hint given in the Farmer s Red Book, a very useful little annual published at the Mark Lane Express office. In it, besides the going, will be found much valuable, practical advice and information for the farmer and countryman. Ox WATERIXG HORSES. There is a popular idea that a warm horso should not be allowed to drink, and, unlike a. great many other popular idens, there is a little truth in it. If you water a warm horse in the ordinary way. letting him drink all that he will. you are likely to have a sick horso on your hands. This is especially so if, at the time, the horse-is fatigued. Nevertheless, it is always safe to allow him from six to ton swallows, no matter how warm he is. If thio be given on coin" into the stable, and he be allowed to stand and°eat hay for an hour, and is then offered water, he will not drink nearly so much as he would had none been given before. The danger is not in the first swallow, as we often hear it a&bertod. but in the excessive quantities he will drink if not restrained. The most dangerous time to give a horsoa full draught is when he has cooled down from fatiguing work and has par- taken of a meal. After long, continuous exer- tion the -system is greatly depleted of fluid. Nature calls for its replacement, and this is the cause of a thirst which is so intense that, if the animal is not restrained at the time, he may drink much more than he needs. The general custom, almost universally followed, of giving the morning meal before water, is not very objectionable, either theoretically or practically. says Mr. Culver, of the Colorado Agricultural College. At this time there is no depletion of fluid, consequently the horse is not very thirst}' and does not drink rapidly or excessively, and apparently very little evil results from this method. A NOTE ON THE GREEXGAGE. One of the very best of Plums is the true Greengage, named after Sir W. Gage, of Hen- grave llall, near Bury, early in the eighteenth I century. Both for dessert and preserving it is of unusual value, the flesh being delightfully melt- ing and juicy. The fruits are medium in size, round, vellowish-green in colour, speckled with red on the side exposed to the sun, and ripen in! mid-August. The tree is an abundant bearer, but somewhat uncertain, and only succeeds reallv well in the most favourable localities. There are extensive orchards in a small area of South Cambridgeshire, whence buyers attend: from all over the country, and as connoisseurs- recognise its superiority over the other Plums, that somewhat resemble it, a good price is al- ways realised for the fruit. Most of the Greenr gages on the market are imported. Other com- mendable Gage Plums are, says the Field July Greengage. -\I*Lau,-hl Iu's Gage (not quite (:Ji such high quality, but hardy and prolific); Law- son's Golden Gage, early September, and Laite Transparent, late September; Isleworth Green- gage. Wilmot's Greengage, Bradford Gage, Abricot Vert, Damas Vert, Dauphine, Grosse Reine, Reine Claude, Sucrin Vert, and Vert Bonne, are all synonymous with the Greengage. In private gardens it is customary to grow tflage Plums against a wall, under which condition they bear larger fruits. They are also well adap- ted for cultivation under glass in pot:, The Greengage can be relied upon to come; mwtrly true from seed.

I How Prize Wixxixg Pctetry Was Fed. i There are some details in the report of the Utility Poultry Club's Laying Competition, held last year, which should be of interest to all poultry-owners. Six pullets formed a pen. and every pon was accommodated in a separate house (4fi. by 4ft.), with shelter (7ft. by 4ft.), and two%rass runs (30ft. by 21f £ .)' used alter- nately. Three trap nests were placed in each shelter, the floor of every house and shelter be- ing littered with peat moss and other loose mate- rials. In feeding no attempt was made to ob- tain high egg averages by forcing, and only such food was given as an ordinary poultry-keeper should be able to obtain. Three meals a day were given in the first seven months, afterwards only two. The morning feed consisted of biscuit moal. cloverine. granulated meat scalded and dried off with sharps, barley meal. and pea and bean meal, supplemented in winter by cabbage, swedes, turnips, and mangolds. In the evening wheat was generally used, and occasionally heavy white oats, and in very cold weather maize. Flint, grit, and oyster shell were always available. Every bird in the competition was trap-nested, so that a faithful record of every egg laid was kept. Five birds laid 200 eggs or more, these being three buff Plymouth Rocks and two white Wvandottes with 216. 206. 203, 213. and 201 eggs respectively. The highest monthly averages were ninety-five eggs (buff Plymouth Rocks), and ninety-one (white Wya>»- Plymouth Rocks), and ninety-one (white Wyan- do-ttcq.
