Gwnaeth yr ymgeis- wyr uchaf ar y rhestr waith rhagorol, ond synwyd yr arholwyr yn fawr oherwydd an- pheilyngdod ymgeiswyr eraill. Dangosai rhai o honynt y fath anghvmwysder fel yr oedd yn syn i'r Cyfarfõdydd Misol ganiatau iddynt eefyli yr arholiad. Parch John Williams, Brynsiencyn, a sylwodd iddo arholi'r ymgeiswyr yn yr Epistol at y Rhufeiniaid. Ac eithrio un yr oeddynt oil wedi efrydu'r Ysgrythyr yn Ngholegau'r Bala a Thre- feca., ond gofid oedd iddo dystio nad oeddynt nag esbonwyr na duwinyddion. Siomedig iawn oedd eu gwaith. Credai fod yn Ysgolion Sul y wlad ugeiniau os nad canoedd o bobl ieuainc aUent gynyrchu gwell papyrau. Os na allai'r colegau gynyrchu gwell dosbarth o ymgeiswyr am y woinidogaeth na'r rhai a arholwyd, yr oedd y rha.golygon yn ddifrifol iawn. Traethodd y Parch T. J. Wheldon ar beryg;on ?■ diaconiaid.

Wyddoch chwi beth, Mr Gol., fe ddywed yr hen air "gormod o bwdin a daga gi," a. da genym ganfod fod rhai Ymneillduwyr mwy cymedrol eu syniadau nag eraill yn dechreu syrffetu ar fwydydd a goginir yn nghegin Cynghor Sirol Sir Fflint. Y mae llawcr yn teirnlo yn ddiolchgar i'r Cynghorydd Mr Tilbv, Rhyl, am ei wroidob yn dynoothi ychydig ar dric- iau wneir gan ein senedd leol. Bydd goeod chwip ar eu gwarau, fel y gwnacth Mr Tilby yn ei lythyr yn eich colofnau yr wythnos o'r blaen, yn help mawr i osod atalla ar rwysg di- synwyr y campwyr Rhyddfrydol. Bydd hyn yn gymaint gyrnwynas i'n sir ag ydocdd gwaith UPTON SINCLAIR yn dynoethi y beef Americanaidd.

Cofus genym ddarllen y byddai yn hen arferiad yn mysg yr Aiphtiaid, er mwyn cadw cu gwleddoedd o fewn terfynau gweddeidd-dra ac atal gwegi anghymesur yn eu mysg, i ddwyn arch i'r ystafell, ac ynddi ddelw dyn marw, a penodid dyn pwrpasol i ddangos y gwrthrych crybwylledig i bob un o'r gwyddfodolion, gan ddywcdyd a llais eglur: "Edrych yma, a bydd lawen, canys cyffelyb i hwn a fyddi di ar ol marw." Yr oedd hyny, yn ein tyb ni, yn arferiad pur dda, ac efallai mai eithaf peth fua-sai gwneud yr un peth yn ein Cynghor Sirol, a gosod ar ei chauad: "Fel hyn y gwelir llawer o honoch cyn diwedd mis Mawrth nesaf." Efallai y gwnelai hyny roddi ychydig atalfa ar eu rhwy&g a'u dwyn i ystyriaeth y dygir hwy i lys barn y cyhoedd i roddi cyfrif am eu gweithredoedd. Os mynir gosoder y geiriau a ganlyn i lawr: "Y cedyrn a gwympodd. Buont yn ddyfal am dair blynedd i ymladd am ffafrau i'w cyfeillion ar draul iawnderau craill.

Commercial and Industrial. At a meeting of I.arcashire journalists held at Manchester on Saturday night it was de- cided to form a National Union of Journa- lists, with the object of defending profes- sional interests by taking action to remove definite grievances and establishing out-of- work, benevolent, and superannuation funds. Membership of the new organisation is open to all journalists who are not newspaper pro- prietors, managers, or directors." A conference of railwaymen to consider the hours and wages question will be held in Bir- mingham.

A Neath and Brecon train on Sunday dashed into a trap driven by a man named Davies at a level crossing at Ystradgynlais. Davies was killed. Peterborough's oldest inhabitant, Mr Thomas White Holdich, formerly a banker, has died, aged 97, from shock following a broken thigh, sustained in a fall. The four-year-old son of Colour Sergeant Hurst, stationed at Glen Parva Barracks, near Leicester, has died from burns received from a paraffin lamp, which it is supposed he pulled over. Jane Harrison, a widow, of Tower-road, Ashton, rushed from her house on Saturday bleeding from a wound in the throat. She was taken to the hospital, where she died. A man named Davis is in custody. A verdict of Suicide during temporary in- sanity was returned at the Ascot inquest on Saturday on Miss Elsie Durant, a science mistress in a Liverpool school, who poisoned herself by taking cyanide of potassium. At Portobello, Edinburgh, on Saturday, a youth named John M'Litchie playfully pointed a revolver at his nephew, John Turn- bull, aged eight, believing it to be unloaded. The weapon went off, and the shot lodged in Turnbull's head, causing his death. Shortly before six o'clock on Sunday night a woman, dressed in nurse's uniform, climbed the parapet of Blackfriar's-bridge and threw herself into the river. The firemen at the Blackfriars River Station put off in a boat at once, but were not able to pick her up, the tide running very strongly. A boy employed to clean the boilers of the Kinfauns Castle accidentally fell down the hold, and sustained terrible injuries, from which he died a few moments later. Mrs. Abbot, of Kelvedon, placed her one- year-old boy on the hearthrug, where the falling embers set his clothes on fire and burned him severely. The mother hurried the baby in a perambulator to a neighbouring surgery, after which she leftalae child, still in the perambulator, outside ashop while she mada some purchases. The movements of the child caused the perambulator to run off the pathway into the road, where a horse tepk fright and plunged on the child, which had fallen into the road. The boy was picked up dead.

A handsome new theatre is to be opened at Cardiff next month. It will accommodate be- tween 2000 and 3000 people.

The Prime Minister has told a deputation of M.P.s that it will be impossible for the Government to take up the Spurious Sports Bill during the session. It has been definitely decided by the Muni- cipal Reform Party to contest every one of the 118 seats on the London County Council at the elections in March. Sir A. K. Rollit, formerly Independent Con- servative member for South Islington, but defeated at the last election, has, mainly on the question of Free Trade, refused to stand again as a Conservative candidate. The Rev. Frederick Ralph Grenside, of Thornhill, near Dewsbury, has petitioned the House of Lords to be heard in the West Riding appeal on behalf of the Thornhill Lees Moor National School, of which he is one of the managers. From Other Lands. Half a dozen firemen rushed into a burn- ing warehouse in New York and stumbled over three women, expensively dressed, lying on the floor. When they were rescued they turned out to be lay figures. Not only is local taxation non-existent in the village of Klingenberg, Bavaria, but every rateable inhabitant will receive for the current year the sum of £ 20, as his share of the profits derived from undertakings owned by the district council. Herr Nikisch, the musical conductor, caused a sensation at Leipzig by suddenly rising in the midst of the performance and sharply upbraiding the ladies for staring at him through their opera-glasses. The first wedding that has taken place in the town for more than forty-four years has just been solemnised at West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Two thieves who entered the house of M. Athenosy at Candau Bellevue, Paris, on Saturday night, and drank some rum which they found on the table, became violently ill. M. Athenosy, who was tired of being robbed, had mixed strychnine with the rum. The men are not expected to recover. The Marquis de Loz de Gouet-Gouraud died on Sunday at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where he had earned his living for two years as a cabman. He belonged to a Spanish family of ancient lineage, but of late years had met with misfortunes which reduced him to poverty. Contrary to the statements made on the subject the visit of the King of Greece to the Pope at Rome is not yet definitely arranged. The National Swiss Council on Saturday unanimously ratified the Franco-Swiss Con- vention. Ninety-three members voted. The Pretoria constabulary have arrested 200 natives implicated in the faction fight at Amos Matibi's kraal on the 14th inst. The ringleaders will be tried and summarily dealt with. The kraal is quiet. The semi-official "Fremdenblatt" an- nounces the appointment of Field-Marshal Conrad von Hoetzendorf, commanding the eighth infantry division at Innsbruck, aa Chief of the General Staff. Prince Pu-lun has been commissioned to study the subject of naval organisation in England, Germany, France, the United States, and Japan, and after his return to make proposals for th" creation of a Chinese navy. About a hundred workmen have been en. tombed in the Belmont tunnel, New York, which is being constructed under the East River, owing to the roof caving in. One man is reported to have been killed. The spot where the accident happened is a hundred feet below the surface. Other Interesting Items. There have been no public meetings or social gatherings at Bradninch, Devon, for twelve months, owing to the prevalence of diphtheria there. A pear tree is in blossom for the second time this season at Newport, Isie of Wight. The chimney of a gold-smelting furnace at Vallejo Junction, California, was cleaned re- cently, and that the soot was chemically treated in the gold-dust room. It contained gold dust worth £ 1,400. Accidents. The grand stand at Yarmouth racecourse, where accommodation was provided for 2,OOC spectators, has been destroyed by fire. Constable Dickenson, who fell from a lad- der at Foleshill Police-station, a spike from an iron railing passing through his leg, died on Saturday at the Coventry and Warwick- shire Hospital. Owing to the bursting of a large gas main in Sheidan-buildings, Drury laue, early on Sunday morning five of the tenants were overcome by the fume?, and had to be taken to King's College Hospital for treatment. After lying in great pain for ten hours, a labourer named Price was found in the fore- castle hold of the steamship Llandaff City, at Bristol, having fallen from the deck. Becoming caught in one of the wheels of a motor-omnibus, a horse's foreleg was literally torn away from below the fetlock at the Elephant and Castle on Sunday, and the poor animal lay in agony for half an hour before it was destroyed. Through the steering gear refusing to act, a Union Jack motqr-omnibus swerved about the roadway and jumped the kerb in Walham Green-broadway on Sunday afternoon, scat- tering the foot-passengers and narrowly es- caping collision with a shop front. No one tvas injured, but the omnibus passengers com- plailled of shock. Mr. Tom Marshall, son of Mr. W. N. C. Marshall, joint master of the East Cornwall Foxhounds, was thrown from his horse on Saturday when returning from a meeting of the Tiverton Foxhounds. He was found un- conscious on the roadway two miles from the town, and was conveyed to the Tiverton In- firmary suffering from concussion. While the cruiser Terrible was being docked at Portsmouth to have her lost pro- peller replaced she came into collision with the caisson at the entrance to the dock. The caisson filled and sank. At an inquest on Edward, the four-year- old son of Walter J. Woodhouse, a carman, of Midhope-buildings, N.W., it was shown that the child stamped on a nut on the floor to break the shell, and then fell backwards into a bowl of boiling water. Told in the Courts. Mr. Justice Phillimore at the Gloucester Assizes on Saturday sentenced William Par- sons, 60, a sweep, to 12 years' penal servitude for setting fire to a haystack at Thornbury. James McCarthy, lately employed in the Cork branch of the Savings Bank, was charged on Sat; day with having falsified ac- counts and with embezzlement. He was com- mitted for trial. The Marquis M. de St. Mars was fined X5 and costs at Chester on Saturday for refus- ing to give the name of his motor-car driver to the police, who alleged that defendant's car travelled at Hoole at a dangerous speed. A police inspector who was called to the house of Alfred Arnold Evans, a young mar- ried man, found him in a drunken frenzy trying to strangle his wife. Evans after. wards attacked the inspector with a frying- pan. He was sent to prison for seven days at Crewe on Saturday. A woman charged at West London with the theft of a frying pan had "taken to drink since coming into a legacy of £ 4,000." She was bound over. After a quarrel as to what place of amuse- ment they should visit, Lyder Martin Lar- sen, a young Norwegian seaman, kicked Elizabeth Robson, it is alleged. An abscess formed, and the woman died. At North Shields the seaman was committed for trial charged with manslaughter. To further investigate allegations made against the Hull infirmary, the coroner ordered the exhumation of the body of Al- fred Scorah, a tanner, who died from blood- poisoning. William George Smith, an agent, late of Herne Bay, was remanded at Hayward's Heath charged with forging a legal docu- ment and obtaining credit from various Mid- Sussex tradesmen with intent to defraud. Called to give evidence at Newington Ses- sions against Thomas Rainsbury, her sweet- heart, who stabbed her after a "tiff," Hannah Smith said she was now willing to marry him. Rainsbury being also willing, the case was adjourned to see if the promisee were kept.

-AGRICULTURAL NOTES, BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. SHEEP-FEEDIXG TRIALS. Experiments have been conducted at the Last of Scotland Agricultural College for two years in the feeding of sheep on various concentrated foods. A number of hoggets were folded on turnips and given roots ad lib., ilb. of hay, and as much of various concentrated foods as they cared to eat, the quantity, however, being limited to lilb. per day. A correspondent of an agricultural contemporary gives the financial re- sult as follows: The cost of lewt. of live weight in the sheep by feeding linseed cake was JE1 lis. 7d., being about the same as in the case of Bombay cotton cake, but the -gross profits of the hoggets fed on linseed cake were JB5 6s. 10d.. or 17s. 6d. more than in the case of those fed on Bombay cotton cake alone. The lot fed on a mixture of half linseed and Bom- bay cotton cakes cost £ l lis. Id. per cwt. of live weight increase, and the profit was JM 9s. Id., and the other gross profits yielded were: Dried grains. JE2 12s. 2d.; decorticated cotton cake and maize. £ 3 Is. Id. Bombay cotton cake and oats, L2 15s. 8d. The latter mixture, he points out, may be said to be the failure of the trial, the mixture valuing the oats at 19s. per quarter proving the least successful of aii. Decorticated cotton cake and maize proved little better from the point of view of profit, and it is an interest- ing fact that in the whole experiments extend- ing over three years decorticated cotton cake proved itself a very indifferent concentrated food for sheep. GOOD TILLAGE. "Whatever the physical or chemical properties of the soil may be, it will produce but little if not well tilled, and what is true in this respect of the best soils applies in far stronger terms to the worst. Apart from its immediate end, the provision of a proper seed-bed, the objects and effects of tillage may be enumerated as follows: To stir and loosen the entire soil to a sufficient depth so that the roote of plants may freely ex- tend themselves in search of food. To pulveri&o tho soil and mix thoroughly its constituent parts, so as to increase the absorbent and reten- tive powers, and to effect an equal and economi- cal distribution of manure. To destroy weeds and foreign plants, which robathe crop-of food and check its growth. It may also be added that by opening the soil and rendering it permeable to air and water the inert materials contained in it, both organic and inorganic, are convertible into solublci plant food; and in regard to many of the insects which prey upon our crops, especi- ally such as work beneath the soil at the roots of plants, frecjuent tillage is found to disturb them and bring them to the surface, where they get picked up by birds. Tillage operations in- clude all soil operations which apply directly to the cultivation of farm crops—ploughing, culti- yating, harrowing, and rolling, or whatever else is done to bring land to a proper state to receive the seed. They also include the operations of hoeing and weeding the land after it is planted. Although each of these operations is for a special purpose, they all are for a general object. ECONOMICAL MANURING. In manuring, the best economical result will be obtained by a special manuring to each crop, which will give the most remunerative result. As the whole object of artificial manuring is to sup- plement the deficiencies of the soii, it is highly desirable that a farmer should ascertain by trials in the field what is the actual amount of increase which he obtains from the application of the manures he purchases. A few carefully-made experiments will teach him what his land and crops are really in need of. Should he add superphosphate with the nitrate of soda for his wheat, what dressing of nitrate is most econo- mical? Is superphosphate alone sufficient for his turnip crop, or should cuano or nitrate be em- ployed as well? What is the smallest quantity sufficient for the crop? Will it pay to use potas- sium salts for his seeds, his pasture, or his potato crop? These end many other questions can only be answered by trials on his own fields. On the farmer's knowledge of such facts will depend the economy with which he is able to use purchased manures which are too often wastefully em- ployed. EXPENSIVE MAKrElKG. The old plan of bestowing ail the manure for a rotation on one crop is now being less fol- lowed. Although some crops benefit more by an application of dung than others, it is deemed better to use it oftener and to give less of it at once and as only a given amount can be pi o- duc-ed for e-uch acre, the smaller dressing has to be supplemented with artificial manure-. Farm manure is usually valued at from 7s. 6d. t,) per ton, according as it has been produced ty cake-fed anirnaJs cr otherwise. An acre of lai Cl cannot, therefore, be dunged withe t consider- able expense, even under the mo:t favouriulo circumstances, and if the expense has beci added of twice lifting, twice carting, and turn- ing of heaps, it is clear that it may be anything but a profitable application, especially when we bear in mind that the intrinsic value of lie manure has been wasted during these operations, and that the full value that is in the manure cannot in any case be realised until after tho lapse of a long period of years. AUTUMN AKD SPRING DRESSINGS. It was formerly supposed that the great reten- tive power of fertilo. coils for ammonia would effectually prevent any loss by drainage. We know now that ammonia is speedily converted into nitrates after mixing with the soil, and that these nitrates are readily washed out by heavy rain. Following these principles, an autumn manuring for wheat may consist of farmvard manure, blood, or shoddy, with or without superphosphate; but dressings of guano, ammo- nium salts, or nitrate of soda should be deferred till the spring. The question is, however, clearly one of climate, and with a dry winter climate these might be applied in the autumn but there is a great risk of doing so in this country. In a 'd, wet spring loss may be avoided by ap plying €alts of ammonia, and especially nitrate of soda in email successive dressings instead of in one appli- cation. Late application- of nitrogenous manure are, however, apt to produce straw rather than corn. On tioils of open texture and little reten- tive power. preference must often be giver, to manures of little solubility in order to diminish the loss occasioned by heavy rain. Organic man- ures as farmyard manure, seaweed, or tureen crops ploughed in are in such cases very suitable. IMPROVING GRAss LAND. It is probable that there is more room for im- proved management of grass land than in thrt of arable farming. It is seldom that it is thought necessary to expend any labour or to provide any manure to take the place of the large amount of meat and bone extracted in the pro- cess of rearing or feeding. An increased fer- tility of soil will promote a better quality of grass with a more nutritious character. Much benefit can also be gained by chain harrowing and rolling in the spring, the pruning of the harrow being something similar to the carting and laying of a hedge, inducing fresh and more vigorous growth, and raking the surface weeds from contact with the grass roots, thereby allow- ing the free accesa of the air. It is surprising what a dressing of either farmyard or artificial manure will effect upon inferior grass land. If the year's produce of herbage could be as easily calculated as that of corn, the neglect of grats land would not be so common. So long as a grass field grows about the usual quantity of grass, and the cattle and sheep eat it, the oc- cupier very frequently is apt to be content with the good or bad character caused by particular fields, without any effort to alter it for the better, or to ascertain whether it is getting worse. One of the greatest needs of the country now is an increased supply of meat and dairy produce, and whatever is the countryV need is the farmer's opportunity, for the article is neces- sarily dear. This wiil best be accomplished by improving the grass land. CROSSBRED CATTLE. The practice of systematic cross-breeding for special objects is often attended with substantial advantage. When ruled by sound judgment, it enables the breeder to effect the temporary union of desired properties separately character- istic of different breeds, so to blend the distin- guishing characteristics of different breeds as to produoe a temporarily new type. For special uja animals more exactly adapted to the purposes for which they are required than the pure-bred animals of either parent stock are thus supplied. Conflicting influences, however, do not long sub- mit to compromise. A struggle between them for mastery ensues, and the results in succeeding generations from half-blood animals interbreed- ing are variations from the character of the ani- mals bred immeditaely from the mating of the two breeds in a direct cross. Some descendants revert more to the best in either of the parent stocks, whilst in not uncommon instances we may notice something like a reversal of the first compromise. Instead of the most desirable of the two breeds being either blended or gathered together, the mixture tends to all that was good on either side. But this admission needs a warning. The popular notion that nothing of permanent good can come from » cross is fallacious.

Judge Marcus KavanaWh. f-peakwg at Chi- cago, declared that the United Stat-es;s tho most criminal country in the world, and i jury system the most loose and antiquated. lie stat-ed that 45.000 mtrders had boon committed in the United States during the last five years. Miss Vivien Chartrea, the youthful English S»ioLin.isti, has received an invitation hotu tsie Genoa authorities to play upon Paganini's yialin, which is preserved as a precious relic, hermeticaJly sealed in a cabinet in the town hall.

I GARDEN WOK PRIMULA6. Not a fjw people, after they house tiicit- plants in October, forget one or two points that are really necessary if success is to follow. One is that after the plants have been perhaps months in open frames they are placed in a greenhouse crashed up against each other, where little air is admitted. This is one of the commonest mis- takes. Another is giving them water when they do not need it. so frequently saturating the "collar" as to bring about a speedy damping off. The best place of all for Primulas is a low- roofed house or a shelf near the glass, where growth will be sturdy, and the colours of the blossoms brought out to greater perfection. Just now they can be helped a good deal by the judi- cious use of stimulants. I say judicious, because if they are given an overdose of manure they are quick to shew it by a limp state of foliage and subsequent collapse. Given sparingly, stimulants improve the plants wonderfully, whilst for imparting a dense green to the foliage nothing better can be used than a little old soot occasionally. POTTING FORGET-ME-NOTS. A deal is made of Forget-me-nots for spring bedding in conjunction with bulbs, and rightly 60; but it is sometimes overlooked that they are most serviceable when potted up in the autumn, kept in a fra;,1c or cool-house for the winter, and then in the spring brought on in gentle heat. There are gradations in the blue of For- get-me-nots, but all are pretty and doubly wel- come in pots in the early days of spring. To do this very little heat :s required. Plants should be raised each spring from seed or cuttings, and planted out during the summer in a half shady place in the garden. To pot up eld plants is never satisfactory, young ones blooming much better. FRUIT GARDEN. If young Peach trees, either under glass or on a wall, are making too much wood, instead of pruning hard lift the roots, and only remove the unripe ends of the shoots. If more rcot lifting were done there would be more fruit. In drain- ing fruit borders shallow drains are useless. Many fruit-trees would ripen the wood better- tnd bear more fruit if the borders were better drained, but in all cases the drains should be 3ft. deep, and filled with rubble to the level of the bottom of the border. This will Dot only drain the border, but also a-erate it, which is of nearly equal importance. New plantations of Raspberries may be made now. The ground should have been trenched and manured. There is no better way of training Raspberries in the garden than driving in stout stakes 10ft. apart in lines 5ft. or 6ft. apart, and straining wires to train the canes to. Two wires may do. but three will be better when Raspberries are grown on a larger scale. WARNER'S ~TNG APPLE. Those who want a re- 'y good cooking Apple cannot do better than grow this, a first-class so for the supply of a h'ehold during October and November. It is of exceptionally strong growth, and when young sends out very strong annual shoots. As soon, however, as it com- mences to fault, the shoots get reduced in vigour, and fine, fruitful trees are produced in a. very short time Apples this year, owing to a heavy crop and the hot, dry summer, are gene- rally below the usual slz-c; but many fruits of Warner's King will average nearly three-quarters of a pound each, very few being below half a pound. STOKING ROOT CROFr. Lift the Beet now, and store in a cool shed, with some allies or sand between each layer of roots. In lifting the Beet be careful that the roots are not knocked about or broken off too near the ground, as they loe colour under uch treatment, and never give satisfaction when boiled. Wrench the leaves off, do not cut them off with a knife Parsnips. Artichokes. Salsafy, and Scozonera are best left in the ground, un- less the district is very cold, when they should be lifted and stored. The Artichokes may be pitted," like Potatoes. If left in the ground cover them up thoroughly with some leaf-soil, to prevent the ground getting too severely frozen, ailow of a few roots being dug up when wanted. It is ad\i,ab!0. however, when frost threatens, to lift a few of each and place out of the rvach of frost. LATE CACLITTOWEKS. Cauli^or. er plants are not capable of standing SO many degrees of frost as Broccoli. Any beads becoming fit for use should be cut im- mediately, End those not so far advanced can safely be lifted and transplanted into frames. The chef k tn the growth suffered at this season of the year is not so severe as it would be dur- ing hot summer weather, so there need be no fear of failure. Young seedling plants winter- ing in frames need an abundance of fresh air, and this may be admitted on mild days. Keep the plants as hardy as possible. CELERY. This haa taken a deal of labour this summer to keep it RION- iig. s-ays a writer in Gardening IHus- t ted. The water pot could not be laid aside ii- nv days. or the foliage flagged as though it had been frozen. Celery has made rapid strides since the rain came in the early days of Oc- tober, and will rstiil continue to grow ior some weeks yet, so that no hurry is necessary to aud more soil unless it be t1 the earliest rows, while many will be raising their first crop ere those nût2G appeal-. In a summer like the one now leaving ur* the value of putting out the plants while of meci-um size not be over estimated, eajh growing away far more kindly than those th.at were allowed to remain until the foliage got drawn, and required pinching before setting out into the trenches. The fly that often does so much damage has been very little in evidence this season, and now with colder weather this ought ;\ot to worry the gardener. Before adding I more soil see that the root moisture is ample, ani pull out all side shoots and a few of the rougher bottom loaves, then dust the sfe:ns with a.n equal quantity of eoot and lime to rid the trench of slugs, which prove such a pest among Celery p-ants. Let the earthing be piecemeal, I aad see that no eoil goes into the centre of the P I&f, or de formed heads will result, these being as-fead as decay setting in, WIIKII often does if tM wor;, i.5 -loveuly done. MVINTFR CrcrMFFre. The Itext t-xr; months form th-e i: • _-t cri:ir>g] period for this crop. The short, cluii cUv.- are not favourable to the production of frui tf ul growth. Keep the young shoots thinly (rained, and apply frequent top-dressings to the roots to encourage them to extend. The writer should be heated to the Fame temperature as that of the atmosphere' before its use for syringing >. r for ap- plying to the roots. It is advisable to keep a sup- ply of young plants in various stages of growth, inst-jad of trying to continue throash the winter with an unhealthy or unfruitful batch. ;.cmrlny a. succession of young and more yigcrou. UIltS. Bottom heat is an essential aid to cultivation in winter, and there should be plenty cf material available at the present time at least fer making hot-beds. Lockie's Perfection is one of the best winter fruiters. TOMATOKS. The present is a good time to sew seeds fer raisins: plants to fruit early next year, and if suc- cessfully grown they should afford ripe fruits early iu May. Select a that "sets" its flowers easily, such as Winter Beauty, a variety which is at the same tirrf a good serviceable one for any purpose. An excellent yellow fruit, some- what plum-shaped, is Sutton's Sunbeam. Toma- toes are more eagerly sougfit for early in the year than at any other H'0:1. Tomato [bllts in bearins should have the side growths removed when they are still quite small. If the plants have set a good crop, a slight top dressing '•■ith soil having a little wood ashes and Le Fruitier manure mixed together wiil sustain the growth and help the fruits to grow to a larger size. HINTS TO AMATEURS. Walcheren and other late Cauliflowers that e (, -rc, 1 rptee- were sown in April and May wil: requ-re protec- tion now. There is no better plan than lifting with balls and planting in cold house cr deep pit, after removing a few of the bottom leaves. Veitch's Self-Protecting Autumn Broccoli should be lifted and planted where protection can be given. To maire late Broccoli quite safe in the event of a severe winter, the plants should be heeled over with heads to the north, banking up the stems with earth at the same time. Save every- thing which has any value as manure. Good vegetables cannot be jrrown without manure of some bnd. but everything which de- cays has some value as manure, and may be worked into compost with the waste matters of house and garden., mixed with lime and soot. Scarcely anyone uses enough liric on the vege- S table quarters. If more lime were used there would be less trouble with crawling insects. Gas- lime might be ¡;ed at tn-e rule of a pound per square yard. and salt is invaluable on porous land, a.nd may be used at the sa.me rate as gas- lime. Devote every spark minute to deepening the soil, either by trenching cr double disrging. If, however, the subsoil i., bad. do not bring up much at a time, unless the manure supply is very liberal and the labour fa.iriy plentiful.
