Referring to corrop ikI 'Iko which the Beard had had with the IJar.dudnc C-i.arity Association, the Chairman said he was pieafed to fifid that a better spirit prevailed as between the Associa- tion and the Board than three years previously, when it was the rula that to member of the Board could be a member of the A s^ciUton. Mr Pc^t: That is &o ik w. Rev. J. Raymond paid that in fairrors to the Association he would like to state tiat, at the last meeting of the Aste<iation held last year, they had proposed to rescind the rule, and niaive it. pcrr-ible for nt: mbere (,f the Board, to be 01 the Association However, upon the a]- vtee of Aiv Roger Dawson, an ex-rneiii-bar of the Board, who'con tended that certain penalties would be incurred if a change were effected, the resolution was allowed to remain unchanged. The Chairman remarked that no Association of that, kind oou]d carry out its work properly unless it worked in hajmony with the Giaajdkuifi. Sufficient evidence was piven at the recent Cor- ner] Conference to establish thLs as a fact. Ac C< !v. ::i Bay was about to establish an Associa- tion it would, bo well for thtMQ to bear what was said at Corwcn in mind. TEMPERANCE LECTURE. The Conway Free Church Ccuncil were re- ported to have invited the children to attend a temperance meeting held in the Town Hail, Con-' way, and the children were allowed to attend. YOUNG CHILDREN'S TOYS. At a meetipg of the House Committee, Mns A. J. Oldman had suggested that the young children be supplied with a set of wooden blocke. Through the kindness of the assistant ckrk (Mr J. \V. Poet) t'neee were now reported to have been provided, and the Beard thanked the donor '.o.r his gift. MILK CONTRACT. In reply to the advertisements for supplying the house with milk during the forthcoming four tenders were leeeived, that of Mr .:OOn Jonee, Cyilgwvnion, Conway, at gd per gallon, being accepted. CHRISTMAS FARE. It was decided that the inanates and officers bo allowed the usual Christmas fare. The lady members of the Board consented to again act a.s a committee to make arrangements for the treat for the inmates in the uine manner as use ea. CONTRACTS AND INSPECTION OF GOODS. The thanks cif the Board were accorded to Messrs Edward Jones and J. Williams fo-r their cervices in inspecting the goods supplied under iontract. A PLAGUE OF FLIES. At the October meeting of the Beard attention was called by Mrs Old-man to what she cleGOriiKd a "plague of flies" in the house. Hundreds r>f these insectii, she fc&id, tormented the sick poor vniiabiting the hospital wards. The Board had previously called the attention of the Conway Corporation to the desira.bility cf removing their refute pit from its site just outside the workhou-c walls, but the Board's applications had not been successful. A further communication was sent to the Cor- poration, and in TeplY a letter was received from the Borough Surveyor of Conway sta-ting that "tho Town Council are anxious to help the Guardians in any way they ca.n," and it was resolved "that as some of the members of the Sanitary Com- mittee are also Guardians, they be appointed the Council's deputation to meet the Board's de- putation," MASTER'S REPORT. Tho Master reported that. Mrs Darbianire, TIaulfre, PetiniaeDmawr, and Miss Mayman, Plas lolyn, Conway, JkkI aout periodicals for tho use uf the irurates. It was resolved that they be heartily thanked for their kindxiefs. ..REGISTER OF PAUPERS. The Clerk reported that in accordance with the Board's instructions en the 5th October, 1906, the register of paupers, tabulated statements, and return of the number of paupers in receipt of relief, indoor and outdoor, from the lit 't)ck.bcr, 1906, to 30th September, 1907, bad been presented to the committee, together with the copy of the reiurn as despatched to the Local Government Board. The Clerk applied for remuneration, as pro- yaiscd, for himself and various officers engaged vith the work. It was resolved that the following allowances tJr the work be granted:—Meesrg T. E. Parry, <12; J. W. Post, flO; Fred Williams, £ 6; R. T. Jones, £ 5; W. G. WiiJi E-4; W. Jones, L3; -lid Edward Jones, L-3. SALARIES OF MASTER AND MATRON. Tho Clerk presented a statement prepared by fn, master, as requested by the last meeting, in reference to the application for an increase of -alary by himself and the matron. The Clerk also presented returns from other unions with salaries paid to masters, etc. It was resolved tha.t the returns he printed, and tipecial meeting held on the 20th December to oonsider tho matter. VACCINATION. At the last meeting of the Beard letters were k«td from the public vaccinators in tho area IÜvered by the Board, protesting against the 'erms of the Local Government Beard's circular better, of September 27th, witih reference to vaccination fees to be paid in future. It was recommendod that the clerk should pre- pare an account of the number of oases of r.uoceesful vaccinations for the twelve months fended September, 1907, and the amounts paid to Vie public vaccinators in respect of such catee; tnd further that he again write to the Unions tiready written to with regard to the fees, ask- g what they had finally a-greed to pay their public vaccinators. The Clerk UQ-W presented the statement as.re- vested, together with the letters from other, "jniotns, giving information respecting the fees tatted under the now order. It was decided that these also be printed with ilie foregoing repcrt to be poiiisidered at the -ting to be held on the 20th Deceiimber. THE NEW LICENSING BILL. In accordance with notice Mrs Thomas Lloyd, C-olwyn Bay, moved "That this Board welcomes Ifith gratitude the declaration made by the Prime Minister that a comprehensive Licensing I;ili will be the very first measure of the next Mission. And further, that it entreats the Government to make provision in the Bill, nmongst other things, upon which there is generally agreement. (1) For discontinuing the wooer's licence. (2) For terniiii.at.ing tho tied Louse system. (3) For prohibiting the employ- ment of barmaids in licensed houses. 4).For i,lac' rig all clubii, where intoxica-nts are sold, under the same legal condition as public houees! ) .nd (5) for giving the people in cach locality the power to prevent, by their votes, the grafting and reriowing of licences in that locality." She said she believed that they all, inde- pendent of politics, wanted to do the best for their country, and to ensure the sobriety of the people was one way of getting that end. He torring to the grocer's licences ehe said she thought that when Mr Gladstone had introduced that method of licensing business he thought the movement would do good, but never had he Miade such a.' mistake in his life. Drinking •mongst men was decreasing, but unlortunateiy o,n,.ongr,t women it was increasing, and this she tkibuted partly to the fact that wotmeai were itow able to obtain wines arvi spirits at shops, IInd have them put down in, the bill as goods t.her than intoxicants. Spoakmg of the second tla.e,ti'he pointed out "hat those managing "tied houses" were XMnpelled to sell a certain quantity of drink before they were sure that ihe masters would keep thorn, and that was a.n iniquitous eystcm. The abolition of the tied house yystom was one of the things that would ieesen Arinking in our land Mr A. J. Oldmaii warned hits, oollea^ue.- against making the question tco political in character and now that they had moved in (he matter he urged them to be cautious He wcmld like to move an amendment, but After a clhort disoussibv, Mih Lloyd was allowed to proc-eed with the tubject. Referring to Cia-use 3. she said that of couree wa6 a- question upon which possibly there would not be full agreement. Nevertheless she objected strongly to the eniplovment of bar- aiaids in filing drink in public-hcuses. She knew of cases where young men onJv wont to pubhc-housea beca-use there were barrrj.aidis tiiere and they could have a pleasant chat with them; Young fellowns should on the contrary be kept out of such places.. Dealing with Clause 4. the speaker said there were clubl, k»th at Llan- ttudno and Colwyn Bay where drinking and me playing wore being carried on until one rend two o clock in the morning, and it would be a fine thing to place greater restrictions on t uob places. Continuing Mrs Lloyd urged that people in each locality should by power of their vote, be allowed to prevent renewal of licences in their locality. She was quite sure that magistrates would not like public-houses to be situated at the bottom of their gardens, yet they were constantly giving permission to erect such placas on sites, where people as a whole objected. The public ought to have power to say that they would not have a public-house in the neighbour- hood where they lived. Mr 0. W. Roberts seconded. There were., he said, some points on which both sides agreed. Taiiing the grocer's iiccnces, the "trade" thought this was a groat injustice to them. In the cases of the tied house system and barmaids some refouns were meet detsirable. The question of clubs was a most important c.nc. Licenced victuallers had to pay heavy licence duties, whilst clubs sold at all hours without restriction. More stringent regulations were neeeusary than these in vogue at present. They were en-gaged in the tale of liquor and should be made to pay the proper proportion of excise duties. Mr A. J. Old man again rose to move an amondment, and said that, al til ought fully in favour^ of all that had been said, he contended that tliat was not the proper place to bring up a question of that kind. He moved the following amendment; "That, this Board wel- comes with gratitude the declaration made by the Prime Minister that a comprehensive Licen- sing Bill will be the very first measure of the next session, and entreats the Government to do its utmost to stem the tide of intempefa-noe, and to remove the cause or need of 60 much poor-law relief." Mr Ed. Jones seconded. Canon David Jones said he would be very glad to vote for the amendment with the ex- ception off the word "comprehensive." Con- tinuing, he raid he did not think th-ey would be doing a liberal thing in prohibiting barmoids by la W. It was gvjiriig a licle too far in the restriction of tho freedom of a subject. Mr Taylor added they were practically unani- mous that this one word "comprehensive" be withdrawn. They seemed also practically agreed upon ^tiho first pa.ragna.ph. He would suggest that they take a vote on that, and then move the other clauses afterwards. Mr McClemesnt raid he noticed that the "trade" objected to this, and teetotallers to that, but there were otihor people bedd^s these to conrider. Let them do this on a broad and general view, aaid try and pafe something within the jurisdiction of the Board. He d.id not think this was within the province of the Boa-rd. Mrs Loy-d eaid it did aflect them, because if they had kws drinking they would, net require eo much poor-law reliof. Prisons and asylums would not be so full, and there would be a deoreate in paupers. The Chairman remarked that the word prenernsi ve" would be struck out. On being put to the meeting 19 voted for the amendment, and t-cven for the motion. Mr Oldman asked that they s>li-ouid be unani- mous, and on again being put to the vote, the amendment was carried without a. t. Mr O. W. Roberts stated that not oniy should copies be tent, to the Prime Minister, but also to the membere of Parliament for Denbighshire, Carnarvonshire, the Borouiglit-, and the Chan- cellor cf the Exchequer.
PKOPOSE ITW~¥UHOOLS AT GLANWYDDEN.
PKOPOSE ITW~¥UHOOLS AT GLANWYDDEN. RATEPAYERS' PROTEST AGAINST THE SITE. APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Considerable indignation is expressed by the ratepayers ci tho parish of Llan.gyii.cnin at the action of the County Education Committee in relcQÜng the site for the propoced new schools so far trorn the centre of the population ex pee. cd to benefit by the new building. At a pubhc meeting cf ratepayers this question was con- ed dere-d. A resolution was pasted protesting against the building of the school for the proposed u-nited oiheol district upon the site fixed upon by tne Education Committee upon the ground, inter tihii, that the site was too far from the centre of the population expected to be benefited by the oahool, tha.t there were more central and better adapted wte, available near Glanwydden, and that the road to the proposed site was nar:ow, and in summer time continually occupied by vehicular traffic and consequently dangerous to the-ohildren. The Education Department were asked to hold an inquiry into the matter. It was decided to forward a copy of t,, re- solution to Mr McKerma, president cf the of Education, and to the CWnarvoti&hire Educa- tion Committee. THE PROPOSAL SANCTIONED. The following reply has now been received from the Board of Education:— "With reference to the petition which you forwarded to tho President of the Board of Edu.oa.tion I am directed to inform you that the Board, after careful consideration of that petition and all the circumstances of the case, have ticoided to approve of the git-j propceed by the Local Education Authority for the prcocecd Council School." THE NEW INFANT SCHOOL FOR PYDEW. Mr Evan R. Davies, secretary to the CarnaT- vonelhire Education Authority, has replied as fol- lows:— "I beg to inform you that the Board of Education have now sanc- tioned the proposal of the Lcoal Education Authority to provide a new oahcol on the site propcecd to be acquired from Mr John Jones at Glanwydden, but they add that a new infant school will also probably be required at or near Pydew to accommodate the little children, for whom the new Glanwydden School will be diffi- cult of OOCCCB." It is only fair to the authorities to state that the opposition to the r ife came from the Idangys- tenin. pariah alone, and not from the Pemrhyn parish, which the new school is also intended to benefit. It wiil aVo be noticed that the main objection of the L'angyr?tenin ratepayers has been met by the oagge&tion that a new infant school will probably be erected in Pydew to accxxrn-irioaa.te children for wthom the new tohool at Glanwydden will be difficult of access.
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR'SKIN!
DON'T NEGLECT YOUR'SKIN! Valuable Hints for the Winter. Those people who are now suffering from cracked hands and a raw nasty feci about their .'aces, necks, and arms, probably do not realise that neglect may lead to some irritating itching skin disease from wliicth it may be very ..ard to escape. Don't forget that the sk- Ln surfaces arc being continually woa-n away and renewed from by the growth of new tissue. forget unit' the damp, raw, cold days of December make tno skin na.rden and crack, and that, if t.hc pores Oi tho skin are clogged by any means, the im- purities become "heaped up" in the tissue m- istoad of being thrown off in tho usual way. Don't negleot a cut or a sore :or fear of blood- poisoning or inilaiiimation- Zam-Buk is the world's greatest antiseptic healer. Whether the trouble is a rash from a sudden chill swelling acid inflammation from "chaps" on washing- day, or chafing or cold sores produced by fric- tion or exposure- keep your box of Zam-Buk handy and use it freely and promptly. 'l'ji'is great healing balm owes its success and unique influence over the skin to ceirtain rich healing vegetable juices, and the remarkable manner in which thes0 extracts are put together. Zam-Buk works liaiid-iii-haiid with Nature, as befits its natural origin. In the case of a cut, scald, burn, bniieo, or any open sore, its- first wo4'k is to kill off the miorobes, which ever being present in the air, settle on thod raw fleeh and set up inflammation and blood-poisoning. Having killed tlie pain and stopped "the inflam- mation and restored the important functions of the skin to healthy activity, Zam-Buk next heips to replace the injured or diseased parts by thoroughly sound and healthy tissue, and fin- ally covers the whole with a beautiful new skin, —in one sense like the "skin" that forms on the top of a cup of ooooa that is left standing- "This marvellous work of regeneration is so minute and coinplicated that a powerful micro- scope would be required to watch the building up of the new tissue. The process may be likened to a builder extending a now row of houses- New ceils are created until the whole of the injured, irritated or diseased1 surface is changed In regard to this work, Zam-i.uk differs flûm, and is immeasurably superior to, all ointments and cheap salves- What the sufferer first notices as the appli- cations of Zam-Buk are oontinued is that all itching, tenderness, and soreness are quickly aMayed. In the case of skin disease, burning patches cease to torture, ulcers and1 eruptions dry up and grow less, and in the 0nd, thanks to Zam-Buk's ideal method. ad,l disfigurement is for ever banshed. No ckin koke so well, or is in fact so soft, sound, so oaeot or so healthy throughout, as" tihe skin that has had frequent dressings of Zam- Buk. This perfection is more than "skin-deep," seeing that a healthy skin (made healthy by Zam-Buk). oftein exerf.3 a wholesome influence upon the rest o: .the bcèly. You cannot afford to neglect your skin- Put it into perfect con- dition with the ideal Zam-Buk treatment.

The following letter from cae Clerk of the Conway Town Council w as read — "Wiui reietrenee to the nagotiations for the eupc>,lying of g,:cs to tlio Peiiybo-nt portion, of te pariah of Llaingysionyn by this Council, I am dircoted to inform you that they have been urging- tae Local Govornmont Beard to amend Conway Gas Orofe-r in-itiii the. view of their being ttbl-3 to supply gas to the are, mention- ed, Tho GoNe,-iiznent Por.rd, ho^-evor, are not in a. position at present to make the necessary aiteralions in the Pi-ovisional Order, and tlie probability is Usat it will necessitate a Private Bill to be promoted by the to achieve blios end and that at g-reat cost.

The Oil airman: There would be .no harm in getting to know- Mr Rogers Jon eg said that the Ratepayers' Aas.xiiati.cfci put the question to tho company. The Chairman I think if we send the com- pany a letter we should then know definitely-. Mr Robert Roberts said hhat if the Chairman would b-iat a lettor be sent to the Aluminium Company, he would' second it. He had heard a rumour that eo'iu-eone thought .of having a gas works of their own at the Junc- tion, and if thoit was true he thought it should be the duty oi the Gounod to support such enterprise. It was eventually decided to o\iimuiuc-ite with the Aluminium Company. ALLEGED NUISANCE. A letter was read from Messrs p. and H. Lewis asking what was be-iny done with regard to their complaint against the liolyheod and North Wales Gas Company's Ohonikal Works at tiho Junction- The Clerk was instructed to again communi- oate with the company with lei-.pect to the al- leged 11U isanoo.

The Oh airman tald he thought all members of the Council would agree to that. ROEWELN SCHOOLS. The Sanitary .lnopecUM", reporting with regard to the Council Sohcols at Roe won, stated:— Tne inspector in his report stated that the- sethool dramg were very unsatisfactory, and that the only water suppiy available within reason- able distance was derived from the mill stream, the only water suppiy avuliable within reason- able distance was derived from the mill stream, which was of a suspicious character, especially in summer. He recommended the appointment. of a sub-oij-rnmittec to meet the local managers in order to take thete matters into considoration. Mr Either suggested that the Council should coummunioate direct with the County Education Authority, as the local managers had hardly any pcwei in (he matter. Upon the suggestion of the Qiairman it was decided to forward a copy of taic inspector's r-è- port to the Carnarvonshire County Education Authority. THE PROPOSED HOSPITAL. Mr Fisher aalied attention to tihe joint hospital scheme, and said that the public had a notion that the Council were neglecting to further the movement. It should, however, be known that the matter was not being neglected at all. The Clerk stated that the Council had in view three sites fcr the propped hctpital, one of which had been condemned by the Government in- spector, who was afterwards asked to visit the othor two sitcfij but he dedined, saying tihat the Council must fix on their own site. The oottn- mittee then applied for the site near Glan Con wa.y to be approved of, and they were nc.w ex- pecting all inquiry to be held at GI-ari Conway.

DISCOVERY OF HUMAN BONES NEAR…
DISCOVERY OF HUMAN BONES NEAR TREFRIW. A VALE OF CONWAY MYSTERY RE-CALLEO. UNAVAILING SEARCH FOR A CLUE. 1 A curious discovery (writes a correspondent b in the "Livorpool Daily Post") has just been made at Coetty Bach, Doigarrog, near the Tref- riw S'pa, where the aluminium works are car- 5 ried on. John Willia.ms, 3, Glanaber-terraoe, Dolyddelen, one of the workmen, after blasting a' huge piece cf rock, came across a number of bones carefully concealed under a slab in a. hole in the rock. Some of the bones crumbled into dust on touching them, but Williams managed to pick two of them UJp, and, although wholly ignorant of the important sequel the finding might lead to, he brought the bones to Dr. Richard Jones, Blaenau Festinicg, a weil-known practitioner throughout North Wales, who, after examining them, without hesitation pronounced them to be the remains of a human being. One is a piece of the bone of the skull, and the other ia a left thigh bone, very likely of a rather small person, and shows signs of rickets. Dr. Thomas also examined it, &nd came to the same conclusion as Dr. Jones, in whose pos- session the bones rema-in. Coetty Bach is only about three-quarters of a in lie, from Penrailt Inoo, a desolate farm high up in the Carnar- vonshire mountains. -This gruesome difoc/very in such an out-of-the-way locality at once re- pails the mystery of Pen'rallt Inco, a short ac- coant of which may interest your readers. Pen'rulit (now re-built), thirty yearis ago, was a dilapidated farm on the estate of the then Lady Aveland. The tenant of the farm was tJMn a man named David Griffiths, who died in Trefriw about tweivo years ago. Griffiths was 6. fairly Intelligent man, and could read and writo both Welsh and English, a rather rare achievement in a Welsh farmer thirty years ago. Aluiougia a. kind neighbour and always ready to as&ist his fellow-farmers if on good terms with them, he was of a determined and revenge- ful nature, and the few inhabitants of the lDOUn- tainous district were continualiy afraid of rousing his enmity. Living with Griffiths as his house- keeper was a middle-aged woman called Jane Owen, from the village of Roewerij about tharee mues a.way. In April, 1877, this woman mys- teriously dita.ppcared, and has never sinoo been heard of. As she was a cripple; moving about wifh the aid of crutches, she could not of her- self go far from the farm. The neighbours not having feeii Jane Owen for manv day- A HUE AND CRY WAS RAISED, and soon membe;s cf the Carnarvontihire police ) force arrived at Pen'iadt and interrogated Griffiths, who seemed anxious to render them every aid to find the missing woman.

Griffitng swore he nevor saw her after- wards, a-nd that he could give no further infor- mation as to her movements. He clung ten- aciously ail along to the &ame tihort and simp-ie story.

There is no time of the year that milk cows are so scarce and dear for milking pur- poses as at the present time. Several causes conduce to this end, of which perhaps the principal one is the natural decline of the milk yield in autumn. During spring and summer the supply flows ahnost spontane- ously, but after harvest, when the nerbe begins to get sere and brown, and e weather is often dry, the yield dries up, and from that onwards there is a difficulty in keeping up the supply. Freshly calved cows are then in great demand to help to make up the deficiency, and of course up goes the price. The inference from all this is that those farmers who make a business of pro- ducing milk cows at the work will find it to their benefit to have them ready Jor sale between say September and Christmas. A MATTER OF IMPORTANCE. This means that the proper time to run the bull with them is from Christmas on- wards for a couple of months or no, as in this way the calves will begin to drop in next season just when wanted. There is a big trade done by some farmers in rearing heifers and selling them when in calf at say three years old: if these will follow the line indicated above they will get a better price for their animals and oblige their dairy brethren at the same time. In districts where winter milk is not produced of course such directions do not apply, but it is a matter of importance in the new milk trade. Cows naturally go stale in autumn. the outdoor food accentuates this condition: in- door feeding will not rectify matters, and so fresh animals must be procured at any cost, and if these are not on the farm then they must be bought. MANURE OR MANAGEMENT. We are getting more and more to realise that crops need a great deal more done for them than merely to supply them with a lib- eral allowance of manure. It is quite pos- sible—indeed it occurs very frequently-to have the land in good condition, and yet fail to get a good crop from it. On the other hand we often see a fair crop on poorisn land. The vagaries of our climate no doubt account for a deal ci this, but again much is due to the managt-zent of the land from a cultural point of view. Analysis of a soil shows that there is enough of the elements of fertility present ic most cases to grow crops for generations to come if the rcjpts could only get hold ol it. It is the hlesB of the farmer to plough, cultivate, harrow, hoe, etc., for the purpose of meliorating the soil, so that the crops can get hold of the fertility, and the doing of these things at the proper time and ia the proper way con- stitutes "management," and very often de- termines what kind oi crop we get. THE PROPER TIME FOR WORKIKG. For instance, if el-y land is cultivated when wet-sometimes even if it is ploughed only when too wet-it is puddled and thus pi- vented from growing a good crop even if full of manure: at the present time if the wheat seed is drilled in when the land ia muddy, there will be an inferior crop next harvest: in a dry distiict, if the land for roots is worked about too much in spring, the moisture is wasted and the roots will be more or less of a failure: and so on with a score of similar cases. Instances have oc- curred, where the sowing of swedes before and after a shower has made a big differ- ence in the resultant crops, although the manuring and other treatment were alike. It is the knowing how and when to do the work that constitutes farming skill, and this makes a world of difference in the results. BARBED WIRE. Hunting men are finding it a gerat deal rtore difficult to get about the country than 1 merly. The number of hunting farmers io on the decline, foi the only man who can succeed at farming nowadays is the one who works, and the working farmer is not a hunting man, and has no sympathy with "the chase." The increasing use of barbed wire in the feuces has caused several Hunts to offer prizes at shows, to be com- peted for by farmers who do not use barbed wire, but the present writer would like to point out that this is an instance of begin- ning the matter at the wrong end. He nas put up several miles cf wire in his time as a matter of neces. ty, and as the only method of making a fence fencible. It was only as a matter of necessity, however, for no farmer is in love with the material, and would prefer posts and rails if he could get them. THE BEST MODE OF PROCEDURE. In some agreements the tenant is actu- ally bound to plant new quicks" in the gaps of the hedges, although everyone kfcows that they will not grow, and in ordinary practice if he cannot get material from his landlord he takes the handiest and cheapest he can get for his purpose, and puts up baibed wire. The remedy is easy and effec- tual: let landlords supply material for the purpose, and the wire difficulty will largely disappear, and let the Hunts offer prizes to landlords who do so, and they will do more pood to both riarties. Sawn railq nrs ,}. better than making shift with any crooked rubbish that can be cut out of a hedge or from the boughs of trees; they are cheaper to put up and last much longer than the home-grown elm, hazel, willow, or any of the stuff one usually sees in a hunting coun- try. "Plashing" will of course fill up a small gap, but it will not fill a big one, and tho workmen in some counties have forgot- ten how to lay a hedge if they ever knew. EARLY PLOUGHING. Some farmers make a point of having all, or nearly all, their ploughing done before January comes in, while some are in no hurry, and scarcely get finished in time for spring seeding. Of the two there is no doubt that the early man gets the best re- sults, and for several reasons. The first is that when done early all the frost of winter gets working on the land to mellow it for spring work. The second reason is that as the middle of January is the coldest time of the year there is the greatest chance then of a spell of frost setting in, and therefore ploughing not done by that time is liable to be kept back, and not done in time for a proper mellowing later at all. A LABOUR-SAVING METHOD. A third reason is that on early ploughed land there is likely to be a sprouting of surfacc weeds before the seed-time comer round, and then the working of the land at seed time—even plain harrowing-will kill them out of the way, whereas if the plough- ing is done late they do not sprout till after the crop is sown, and thus give greater trouble. With grass land there is of course the danger that the grass will grow in the "seams" of the furrow-slices if the work is done too early, but on the other hand the modern plough with a proper skim coulter will shave the grass off, and put it in the bottom of the furrow, and no man is up to date who has not got a plough of this kind. Everything considered therefore the man who ploughs early is wise, and he ought at the latest to be in his last field by January. —; P.S.—The author will be glad to answer any questions arising out of this article if they are addressed to him, c/o the Editor.
