RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. Orn PREMIEU CAKT HORSE. Once apain the Shire Horso Society is to be congratulated on an excellent show at Islington. With a splendid entry of 645, and the huge amount of prize-money representing no less than £ 2,205, all of which has been subscribed by the socictv, there is clear proof both that the breed shews no signs of losing popularity and that its interests are in the safest hands possible. Nearly all the Itadillg ituds were represented, and, as ever, many beautiful .specimens of the breeding art were in competition. I was glad to observe that mares made a slightly better show than last year; but there is still room for im- provement. The larger profits held out by stal- iion rearing operate to some extent in keeping A TYPICAL SHIRE HonSE. I down the numbers of first-class mare?. It is quite obvious that the need is all in the other direc- tion. Possibly more may still be done by adding to the attractions of exhibiting the females. RURAL LIFE IX TASMANIA. In reference to a recent note, in which men- tion was made of fruit-growing ifi Tasmania, a correspondent who lived there twelve years writes pointing out the similarity of its climate to that of Suffolk, of which rs nvnty he is a native. He has a good deal to nty iin praise of the island, which has been call, the Sana- torium of the South. The hot winds ef Aus- tralia, he says, are unknown; the sum's tuesit be- ing always tempered by sea breeze, and moun- tain airs. The moas temperature for 5ho awnuner is 62deg. Fahr.-about tl)at of Suft'olft; wfiiie the mean winter tonir.),-rature is 45deg. K;i'ic.. or about that of Penzarw*, in Cornwall, aontbined with the winter sunshine of Bondbaux.. in Franco. You have rhu.f an ideal summer and winter climate. All the English frinte- succeed to perfection viz.Aliplcs. Pears. Sherries, Stra wberries. Raspberries. Currant?;. Mul- berries, &c.

The fact of a man being engaged m manual labour on his farm or orchard does inafc n necessarily cut him off frsin society iin: T mania. It is possible to si-c- in the rnrwning Ii; man dressed like a navvy, with a spade- in Ins- hand, and in the evening t':1 meet him ini Jim, maculate dress clothes, and not at all ashamed: of his roughened hands. Or you may call atr sb man's house and find him in shabby clotlwH: antB a battered felt hat, and next week find' him- making a call at Government House in the afternoon dress of civilised society. I am muciu obliged to my correspondent for his inter siting remarks. FOR A SUNNY BORDER. The plant of which I give an illustration' is a member of the Poppy family, and goes by too name of Hunncmania fumarifefolia. It 'IIi.'L::r in- troduced to this country about lOG yearT ago from Mexico, and is undoubtedly a valuable ad- dition to our collection of half-hardy herboijaaua HTNSE M AN IA FUMARL.CfOI.IA. I perennials. It may be planted a: I ho first fav- ourable opportunity. The ideal position for it is in a good rich soil, in a sunny, well-drained border, at the foot of a south -all, and such a place must be made for it if the best results are to bo obtained. It will be wise in the winter following the flowering season to protect the roots with fibre, or some other covering mate- rial. Florists have recently taken up the plant again, and some new and interesting varieties are now in the market. A NOTE ON SEED POTATOES.

Royal Alexandra Hospital, Rhyl. GIFT FROM THE QUEEN. The annual meeting of subscribers to the Royal Alexandra Hospital, RbyJ, was held at Rhyl on Monday afternoon, the Bishop of St Asaph presiding. The report, presented by Mr R M Hugh-Jones, hon secretary, opened with lIU expression of sorrow at the death of Miss Edith Vizard, who for 30 years was j an able and devoted administrator of the institution. Miss Anson, who for 20 years was associated with Miss Vizard, had been appointed to succeed her as lady superintendent. The total number of patients admitted during the year was 782, of whom 208 came from Welsh and 573 from English counties. There was an adverse balance on the year's working of £ 200 198 2d. The building fond for the contemplated new block continued to make substantial progress, and on 31st Decem- ber last there was a sum of £5,008 in In. nd. Among the gifts to this fund was j one of £ 100 trom the Queen from the proceeds of the" Que. n's Gift Book Fund (applause). Mrs Marray Browne had given a donation of £1000 in memory of her late husband, who rendered valuable assistance as hou treasuier of the hospital. A ward of the new convalescent wing will bear his name. The Bishop, moving the adoption of the report, said he was not greatly perturbed by the adverse balance. He was accus- tomed to adverse balances, both in his private and public capacities (laughter), and had corne to regard them as a sign of health (renewed laughter). He strongly urged tba claims of the hospital on the c iisideraiion of people in England who n, the patients to the insitution and had the money to pay for them. The repeat) was adopted.

It is important to keep the first-formed sprouts, as they are the strongest, and appear above ground I in the shortest possible time, thus allowing a longer season of growth^ II0 rc Gt"ISIUATE EGGS. Everyona id acquainted with the method of testing eggs by placing them in water. But though those that are past using are the only ones that will float, it is net possible in such a way to End which are the best and freshest and which the indifferent, and so on. The dence, DEVICE FOR TESTING EGGS. shewn in my drawing, however, makes such a graduating-test an easy matter. It consists of all aluminium air chamber, comprising a main body portion and a stem. The latter is gradu- ated, while at the bottom cf the body portion are two spril,g-wirc loops shaped to engage and hold an egg. The device with the egg attached thereto is placed in water, and will sink to a depth depending upon the specific gravity of tho egg. The freshest will reginer XX, and the very worst 11. STAHTING POULTRY CULTURE. Poultry-culture on a small scale is possible for any with the necessary minimum ppace. Eggs of almotsr any breed or variety of fowls now bred at!,] cultivated in this country, even of the best lay- ing or flesh-producing strains, can be obtained at 6s. to 10s. per sitting, a price within the reach of all. A reliable broody hen at this season of the year will cost about 4s. 6d. Incubators liavo often been dealt with in this column, and the reader is referred to the catalogue of a reliable firm. When starting on a email scal, however, it is probably wisest to be content, wish natural incubation. Every care should be exessised in the selection of a suitable breed- and profitable strain, the purchaser having clearly illade up ms or her mind as to the purpose for which the birds are to be kept, whether poultry for egg- production, chickens for the market, (v for the more expensive exhibition purposes. Purchasers are warned to allow at least twenty-four hourc.T rest before placing the eggs under a hyxi or in an incubator. in order that the germ may settle. The omission to do this is too often the cause of hatching failures, and the breelhr who supplies the eggs is unjustly blamed.- N*a time should be lost in ordering sittings of og £ s for hatching, especially of the massive or soft- feathered breeds, as incubation of Eucih poultry should not be delayed after March, and most yards are busy now despatching, whilst, not in- frequently several weeks elapse before dik- sit- ting can be secured.
