LlanfihangeLy-Creuddyn. SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT.—The annual Tea Party of the Church Sunday School came off this year on Friday afternoon February 7th, in splendid weather, and for the time of year, a better day could not be expected. Tea was served on the tables at 4 o'clock, and a very good number of both ages came together to partake of the good supplies prepared for the occasion. There were nine tables, namely those of the Rev J P Evans, vicar Mr F R Roberts, Penwern: Mr Richard Jenkins, Tanllan 1 Mr Willam Davies Glanystwyth Mr James Rattray, Lisburne House; Mr John Jones, Minffordd Mr Morgan Richards, Blaen-cynon; Mr Ebenezer Davies, Cynon Fawr and Mr Joseph Jones, Aber- magwr. The Vicar's table was presided over by Mrs Evans, Mrs Williams, Felin-ucheldre, and assisted by Miss Ellen Lewis, Penwern, in the unavoidable absence of Mrs F R Roberts, by Miss Maria Edwards, and Miss Mary Morgans, servants; Tanllan by Miss Evans, Caorgog-terrace, Aber- ystwyth, and Miss Margaret Davies; Glanystwitb, by Miss Davies, and Miss Jenkins, Buildings Lisburne House by Mrs Rattray, assisted by Miss Mary Lloyd Minffordd, by Miss Evans and Miss Morgans, Goginan Farm Blaen-cynon, by Mrs and Miss Richards; Cynon Fawr, by Mrs Davies, and tke Misses (2) Davies; and Abermagwr, by Miss Evans, and Miss Mary Evans. After tea the sch oolrooin- was cleared, and arranged for the even- ing entertainment, which commenced at seven o'clock, and over which the vicar presided. A long and interesting programme of 50 items was gone through, which was made up of solos, recitations, glees, &c, A children's choir under the leadership of Mr William Lewis Evans, Dolauceunant, sang many pieces, and parties were led by Mr William Morgan Wright, Pendref, Mr John Evans, Village, and Mr David Charles Evans, Cnwch. Mr John James, Penparke, very kindly gave many recita- tions and songs, and Mr Richard Evans, Penlan- uchaf, gave a good recitation. About the end of the programme a very interesting ceremony took place, that of distributing prizes to members of the Sunday School in books, as many as 86 in all, and which were a very good selection of valuable and useful books in Welsh and English. Mr Joseph Jones, the superintendent, read out the list, and Mr William Lewis Evans, handed the books to the Vicar, who gave them away. There were four that had not missed a Sunday during the year, and four missed one Sunday, and six missed two Sundays. Four missed three, and five missed four Sundays. At the end the Rev J. P. Evans proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the ladies who kindly provided tea and cake for the afternoon, and to Mr Joseph Jones the superintendent, "wlio also proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman. A very enjoyable. 'meeting was brought to a close in good time by the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," Mr William Lewis Evans, the leader, taking up the solo.

Y RHYFEL YN AFFRICA. Yn ol brysneges a dderbyniwyd o Pretoria ddydd Sul fe wnaeth y Boeriaid ymosodiad ar Fataliwn y Natal Mounted Infantry ger Afon Klip. Rbifai y fataliwn 150 o wyr, a cbawsant eu dwyn i fagl. Bu brwydr ffyrnig rbyngddynt, a lladdwyd 12 a chlwyfwyd 48. Gwnaeth wyth o swyddogion oeddynt gyda'r fataliwn safiad gwrol. Amddiffyn- asant y trum gyda drylliau a llawddrylliau, byd nes y gorchfygwyd hwy. Lladdwyd dau o honynt a chlwyfwyd amryw. Yn ol brysneges answyddogol o Verkyker Kop, ger Lindley, yn Nhalaeth Afon Orange, amcan- gyfrifai swyddogion Boeraidd, a gymerwyd yn gar- charorion, fod nifer y Boeriaid ar y maes yn 12,000, Dywedent mai dynion yw y rhai hyn a wyddent fod eu bannibyniaeth wedi ei cholli. Felly, gan nad oes ganddynt ddim pellach i'w golli maent wedi penderfynu i achosi y Prydeiniaid gymaint o draff- erth a thraul hyd nes y lleddir neu gymerir yn garcharorion yr oil o'r Boeriaid. Dywedir fod gan y Cadfridog De Wet rai gynan Krnpp ond dim powdwr. Dywed Mrs De Wet, yr bon sydd yn gaeth yn ngwersyll y Prydeiniaid, na fydd i'w gwr fyth ym- ostwng, ac hydera y bydd iddo ymladd hydangau. Dywedir fod cynllwyn ofnadwy ar droed yn Paris yn mhlith bagad o Wyddelod er cynorthwyo y Boeriaid. Bwriedant, meddir. wneud difrod trwy, ddynameit ac arswydo cymdeitbas yn gyffredinol. Ofnir fod peth sail i'r adroddiad hwn.

Allsop in his illness, and wishing him a speedy recovery. A vote of condolence was also passed with Mr David Owen (rate collector) on the death of his wife. Two applications were received for the right to bring a minstrel troupe to Barmouth for the ensuing season, one from Mr B. Lewis, Liverpool, who offered to pay the Council Z25, and the other from Messrs Parr and Bowden, who offered £10. The application of the latter was accepted. A communication was received from the Local Government Board stating that they bad had under consideration the appeals made by the Council against the disallowances and surcharges of the district. auditor. The Board did not under- stand what was the exact position of the matter, and requested to be furnished with further parti- I culars showing the total amount of the overdraft on the Council's account at present. As it also appeared that the amount of loans already sanc- tioned by the Board and of those for which application had been made was insufficient to meet the total amount of such overdraft the Board desire to know what steps the Council proposed to take in regard to such deficiency. It was resolved that the Clerk furnish the Local Government Board with further particulars, and to meet the deficiency referred to to state {the Council had a claim amounting to £1,000 against the County Council in respect of money spent on main roads within their district.

GARDEN WORK. CONSERVATORY. Azaleas, moderately forced, will be in con- liderable force now. Except for wreath making or where wired flowers are admissible they are not of much use for cutting, as the demand now is for long-stalked flowers for filling va-e,. etc. The Aoncias in variety may be cut it> sprays, especislly if planted out. f barge of a eOlllicrva- tory where t. :I)er of Acacias were planted out ;,ii-rm and formed very handsome af)tl I liege we could freely cut as long as the flowers lasted. Acacia Slioeana is charming when planted out,a I t,rnitied up a rafter, or along the rodu in the roof where the house is lofty and wide. Luculia gratissima is not of much use for cutting; the trusses nre largo and somewhat unwieldy, and do lit,t long and what is required are flower* tiiat will last as long as possible. Th""p plpnty jf bulbs in bloota sow, and these Ito most useful flowers for cutting. t; < (' Jowers are cheap especially t,lio !'• r Winte and other cheap varieties of <v so plentiful in every market.

Lilies of the Vallev are easilv produced now. and are alwavs valuable for cutting. The cold storage system has worked quite a. revolution in the Lily of the Valley trade. Roman Hyacinths have been better than usual this season. We have had plenty of bulbs producing three or four spikes » foot long, and in tiiis condition they are Valuable for vases. Cyclamens in their improved condition filiv-, larger flowers with longer stalks, and th t,re til,,re sought after for fill- ing vases. 13, i tbo flowers are pulled from the cormg tit,, V-H'Mnn should be shortened to enable the t > enter and refresh the stems. Strong clump of Solomon's Seal force easily, and the long sprays are nice for cutting for bold effects. Froesias are flowering freely now, and are in demand, both in a cut state and also in pots. A dozen bulbs in a six-inch pot neatly staked have some value in the drawing-room stand, or to form a group in the conservatory. After flowering the bulbs want a good roasting on a shelf before shaking them out. FRUIT GARDEN. Up to the present there has been no frost to injure the young wood of Fig-trees, but if the trees were covered it will hardly be safe to re- move the coverings just yet, unless they can easily be replaced if severe frost comes. Some years ago I lived on the south coast within three miles of the sea, and it was never neces- sary to cover Figs, and the crops were always good; but in the Midlands and in the eastern counties the young wood will not bear a low temperature unprotected. It is a curious thing that Fig-trees appear to make shorter- jointed wood on the south coast, and the trees require less pruning. Soil as well as climate may have somethiug to do with this, but I have never found any difficulty with Figs when the borders were well drained and properly put together. The chief thing is to keep in touch with the roots and lift their extremities whenever they seem to require it. They should be planted in something of an impervious nature, so that the roots are kept near the surface. Figs as an outdoor fruit are certainly worth more consideration, as. if properly haanaged, a crop is certain. This is a good time to plant Filberts and Cob-Nuts. They are often planted as division lines to separate certain parts of the garden. They should occupy an ope" position and have plenty of room. It is not ofteu Filberts are properly pruned away from Kent, where they are regularly pruned with the view of getting as many Nuts as possible. The pruning of Nuts is generally delayed until the catkins appear. The scarlet or female blooms appear in February, and if there is a good supply of catkius there will 1M Nuts. VEGETABLE GARDEN. Successions of Sea-kale, Asparagus, Rhu- barb, and Mushrooms should be brought on according to the means at disposal. There will be do difficulty now in inducing any of the roots of the plants named above to start when heat is applied. Mushroom-beds are usually made under cover in buildings of some kind in winter, and if the building is large enough to hold from six to ten beds the warmth of the beds will suffice for the atmosphere without any fire-heat, though where possible it is as well to be provided with some means of heating, so as to maintain a temperature of 50 degs. to 55 degs. In the matter of manuring the vegetable garden the nature of the soil and the condition of the nature will form the best guide as to the time for its ap- plication. Heavy retentive land may be manured some time before the crops are planted, and the manure may be used fresh from the yard. The manure from the cow or pig is better for light, hungry land than that from the horse. On light land which rapidly toses its moisture it will be better to work the manure into compost and dig it in just before cropping. Early crops which are ui, -%Iiy sown or planted in small quantities may go in at in- tervals to ensure a succession. These will in- clude Peas, Horn Carrots, Long Pod Beans, Radishes, Lettuces, etc. OUTDOOR GARDEN. Anv time during February hardv border plants may be divided and replanted, d i: g the work, of course, when the surface of i. e ground is dry and works cleanly. It without saying that the ground should bo well prepared before planting. Nothing one Can do after >i plnnt is in the ground can Coinpentiate ,.1, of preparation before planting. V. are eaten up with ii)- sects or I' (l with mildew, we getierally fititt .ej have been planted wisl > t the ground receiving the necessary preparation. If the ground is deepeneds and intermixed I do I Dot think manure need be so lavishly used as is sometimes recommended. Some soils require more help in this way than others, and, there- fore, the question of manuring must he settled on the spot. We know flonverti require nourish- ment, and this must be given in some form, hilt a deep soil well intermixed and frequor.iiv surface-stirred during growth is of the utmost, importance. In planting borders no bard or fast line need be laid down. Some plants to require to be massed to be really tfictu ve others are better adapted for dotting about singly. No tormal arran^rn'ent is necessary or desirable, and neither vvi give upaltogethcr the old-fashioned mixed border. S'LOVE. The season for repotting is close at hand, especially if it. should be necessary to reduce the balls. Young plants in good health will ho merely shifted ou into larger pots. The shiits should not be too large, as with large shifts there is always the danger of overwatering, and no plant will thrive in a sour mass of soil. Plants of all kinds are so cheap now and so easily propagated that it. is never worth while to retain a sickly plant, unless it is very rare or epstly. If there happens to be an unhealthy plant in the house every eye discovers it, and it is a constant source of annoyance. Foliage plants, such as AlocasiaR, Marantas, Anthus- riums, etc., may be divided aud repotted now in fibrous material, the pots to be in very careful hands. No man will be successful as a plant grower until he has mastered the true principle of watering—i.e., giving jusfc enough at. the right time. Night temperature tixty-five degs. MUSHROOM-HOUSE.
