RUGBY FOOTBALL. ♦ GILFACH GOCH. The Tigers of Bettws were the visitors to the Tump on Saturday. They brought a i strong team, and a large contingent of sup- porters, who were ooiitkJxf-nt of tlieicr pets breaking the Wasps' ground, record. breaking the Wasps' ground, record. The W asps' first try was a terrible sting for the visitors, who afterwards kept their mas- cot in close quarters. After the match it was taken home under a certain individuals overcoat, sutiering badly by the W asps' sting. The Wasps deserve the highest congratu- laitions upon their victory of 1 i!Oal, 2 tries (11 points) to mil, as Bettws were a much heavier team. The forwards-' dribbling and, scrimmaging were excellent. I am pleased to see Tom Cox again domning the red, black and amber jersey. His open- ing for the try which D. 'White scored was of first-class otrdetr. The lxalf-backs. White and Davies, hit it off Al. I much regret to see the constant chopping and changing every Saturday amongst the threequiarteirs. The committee should select players who are always ready to play. This chopping and changing, if persisted in, will bring disaster before the season ends. Captain Si Jones caused a great deal of trouble to his opponents. his kicking and touch-finding stinging his opponents' for- Avaoxls severely. Next Saturday we play Pontycymmer away, when I predict a narrow win for the Waspe. WASP. PORTHCAWL. Porthcawl met Skew en at Porthcawl on Saturday, before a. good crowd. Porthcawl won the tcsss, and Newman started for Skewen and a. few exchanges between Clem Lewis (Bridgend) and Dearies ended in the first- named player finding touch well in the visi- tors' territory. From the line-cut Evan Lewts got possession, but was tackled before he could get into has stride. From a scrum in midfield, the visitors got the ball, and a bout of passing was spoilt by Saunders, who knocked on. Affair play was of a give-and-take character, both sides losing ohanws. Theo. Bairnell, picking up, brought relief with a kick to touch in the visitors' 25. From the line-out Morris got the ball, but was brought down before he had time to pass. Skewecn were awarded a free kick for an in- fringement in the acrum. Saunders took the kick at goal, but was unsuccessful. Half- time oame with no socire. On resuming Laitson took Jim Lewis's place at back, the latter player going into the forwards. Porthcawl started, and some fast a.nd even play took place in the visitors' 25. Theo. Burnell took a shot at goal, the ball going wide. From a serum in midfield, the home forwards heelied. Clem Lewis got possession, and passed to Bill Lewis, the last- named player being coHared close to the line. Thomas, the visitora) full back, brought re- lief with a fine kick to touch at half-way. The viaitora attacked and Casey Hopkin and Jack Jenkins were conspicuous for some fine tackling. Skewen. were awarded a free kick in a. good position, but Newman made no use of it. Scrambling play followed in midfield, and time came witlf no score. For Porthcawl Laitson was safe at back. The qna.rtette played a good game. Owing to the fact that Bridgend were without a match. Clem Lewis assisted his old club, and played a good game, although he was a market! man. Of the forwajrds Hopkins, Gil- bert, triid Lewis were the best. Next Saturday the Firsts are playing Tre- orky away, and the Reserves are at home to the Old Avonians. JASPER.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. » The Robins were at Angelton 0IIl Saturday last, and lost by two goals to nil. The ground, which was heavy, favoured the Amgetts, who were the weightier team. HiM, of Angelton, ShOWOOI a rare turn of speed. Had the Robins utilised their chances, they would not have been the losers, for out of thirteen corners they ought to have found the net two or three times. The forwards were very disappointing, and did not show up to anything like their proper form. lies, who was the be.st of the bunch, was watched too closely to be effective. The defence, too, did not do anything extra- » ordtimary, Allbright alone show ing up promin- ently. Congratulations must be given to Angelton om their victory. Any team which visits Angelton this seasoni will find them a. very hard nut to crack. ROBIN REDBREAST. PORTHCAWL. Porthcawl pliayed their return match -against Kenfig Hill at Porthcawl on Satur- day. The visitors brought a strong team, iand a good game was anticipated. E. Wil- liams, late of Ruabon Druids, tunned out at tack for the homesters, and Bob Jones, Corn. Albion, took inside-right position. The game opened1 slightly in favour of the visitors, who were assisted by a. strong wind. They were conceded several corners, but failed to penetrate the home goal. Eventu- ally the home forwards visited the opposite goal, but nothing was scored in the first half. On resuming play opened in. lively fashions -and in five minutes Northcote scored, but the point was disallowed. The visitors broke away, but met a stubborn defence. The home right-wing got away. Birch passed accurately --to Edmunds, who scored a splendid goad'. After this success Porthcawl kept up the pressure, but try as they would they could not add to their score. Porthcawl fully de- served their victory of ? goal to nil.

Miss Dove, one of the first women Councillors in Englaiid, and the first to be nominated for the Mayoralty, is resigning her post as head- mistress of Wycombe Abbey richool. When a bride and bridegroom arrived at Hed- geriev Church, near Slough, on Saturday, they were informed that the marriage could not take place owing to the banns not having been pub- lished in the parish where the bride lived.. Tiiey left the church greatly disaoooinrted.

DISASTERS AT SEA. FJRENCH LINER WRECKED. OVER 170 LIVES LOST. ONE SOLITARY SURVIVOR. An appalling disaster is reported from the wild coast of Minorca, 100 miles from the Spanish mainland. The French Transatlantic steamer General Chanzy, bound from Mar- seilles to Algiers, was hurled on to a rock on Wednesday night. In three minutes she was ground to pieces, and only one of the total ship's company was saved. Miraculously frung ashore while his companions perished. Marcel Badez, a Customs officer, endured hunger and thirst for the whole of Thursday and part of Friday till he stumbled, more dead than alive. across some poor fishermen. Between 170 and 180 perished in the wreek. A telegram from Palma (Majorca) says that during extremely boisterous weather the General Chanzy missed her course through the channel and went on to the rocks. The Compagnie Generale Transatlantique believe the disaster to the finer to have been due to an inrush of water having caused the boilers to explode, the force of the explosion being so terrific as to rend the vessel in two and cause her to sink immediately. Most of the passen- gers were asleep at the time of the disaster. The masters of all vessels that arrived at Algiers during Thursday and Friday stated that a terrific sea was running in the Mediter- ranean. Captain Bartheiemv, of the mail steamer C- arles-Roux, declared that he never before trie wintered such weather during forty years' ex; .-ience of the Mediterranean. One of the bags of mails recovered, flays Reuter's Palma correspondent, showed traces of haying been burnt. This discovery has naturally given rise to the belief that a fire followed the bursting of the boilers. The re- presentative of the Government at Ciudadela states that the high sea running prevents a thorough search being made along the coast. iv.i other survivor has been found. SOME PASSENGERS' NAMES. A Marseillea wire says: In a list of passen- gers the following names appear: Mr. and z, Mrs. Bruce, British subjects, travelling with Cook's tickets; Derenda, artiste, with an ad- dress in Leicester-street, London, and Fourth Avenue, New York, and Green, artiste, with the same address in Leicester-street. The sole survivor, Marcel Badez, who Is :n hospital at Palma, says that the disaster took place on Wednesday night. He spent the rest of the night, the whole of Thursday, and a part of Friday succourless, and finally suc- ceeded in reaching Ciudadela. half-dead from fatigue and hunger. He brought the first news of the catastrophe to the local authorities. On Saturday many bodies of the drowned passengers and crew could be seen floating in the strait between Minorca and Majorca. A few have been washed ashore, but there is as yec no news of identification. The music-hall artistes who perished on the General Chanzy had just completed an en- gagement at Marseilles and were going to per- form at Algiers. Among them were Derenda and Green, American aciobats, and Francis Dufor, a Paris comedian. Madame Dufor's name appears in the list of passengers, but it is stated that she did not sail. The two Stakelys, who were also artistes, and were travelling from Antwerp, were also on board. Eleven of the missing theatrical party were to have appeared at the Casino at Algiers on Friday. All the artistes in the building aban- doned the performance and went down to the harbour for news of their colleagues. Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bruce, of Caterham, Surrey, were travelling for pleasure. Mr. Bruce was a stockbroker, of the firm of Smith and Bruce, Throgmorton-avenue, London. He leaves a son eleven years old. There is a report of one other English victim, Mr. Kunsi," of Lincoln, and some American acro- bats and singers perished.

BRITISH LINER ASHORE. HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE. Following upon the news of the Mediter- ranean disaster to the liner General Chanzy comes the report of the calamitous wreck, with great loss of life among passengers and crew, of a British liner. The vessel was the Lima, of the Pacific Steam Navigation Com- pany's fleet, outward bound from the Mersey. She ran ashore in the Huamblin Channel, to- wards the western end of the Straits of Magellan. There* 'T-are somewhere between 320 and 350 souls on board. Of these fifty, said to be mostly passengers, are known to have been drowned, and over eighty were still in peril, according to messages of Saturday's date. LOST XEAjs CAPE HORN. Reuter's Santiago de Chile correspondent telegraphed on Saturday: The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer. Lima. ran ashore in the Huamblin passage in the Magel- lan Straits. She is believed to be a total loss. The British steamer Hatumet rescued 205 of those on board; eighty-eight others, however, 'e are still on board, and all attempts to rescue them have hitherto failed. The chief pilot and fifty passengers were drowned. Lloyd's Valparaiso correspondent cables > a message which slightly reduces the figures, namely: "Agent at Ancud telegraphs: 'Lima. ashore west side Huamblin Island, total wreck. Arrived Ancud 188 passengers, seven- teen crew. Drowned fifty, including chief officer. Still on board, thirty-eight crew and forty-four passengers. Government sent two forty-four passengers. Government sent two vessels to rescue. Rupanco (s.) sailed on Saturday afternoon.' Details concerning the wreck were scant owing to the telegraph office nearest to Huam- blin Channel being some 200 miles from the scene of the disaster. The crew, numbering about sixty, were signed on at Liverpool, and have been practically accounted for, some being landed with the passengers, while thirty-eight remained on board. The Lima had accommodation for only eighteen passen- gers, and took but two with her from the Mer- sev- on December 23rd, when she sailed for Callao. The large number of passengers re- ported lost must have been picked up at the ports of call.

MUSICIAN AND GIRL. REMARKABLE OLD BAILEY CASE. At the Central Criminal Court on Monday the trial was concluded of Leon Alexander, aged forty-four, a piccolo player, who is charged with unlawfully taking Catherine Newman, aged fifteen years nine months, out of the possession of 1H'r father. It is alleged by the prosecution that th" prisoner induced the girl to leave Edmonton, where she lived, and that he took her to various addresses. Her father had. opposed their marriage, and it was Alexander's inten- tiun (according to the girl) to keep her until he obtained her parents' consent to marry her, and then to sell his piccolo and take her to the Continent, where he would make a lady of her. To Judge Rentoul he explained that he had saved Catherine from death, and although it was pointed out that he could not meet the charge, he refused to plead guilty. During the week-end, however, he recon- sidered his decision, and when the court again met he announced that he would withdraw his plea. He meant no harm. he said, in talcing the girl away; he was ignorant of the law. His object was to marry her. His Lordship remarked that the accused was not m a position to take the girl abroad and he could not get rid of a lurking idea that Alexander had another motive. It was not a case of passion. The girl was, he understood, simple-minded almost to the verge of im- becility, and would believe anything that was told her. His Lordship bound the accused over in his own recognisances, Alexander agreeing to have nothing more to do with Catherine Newman.

A WONDERFUL STOP-WATCH. N A well-known firm of Geneva watchmakers have, according to the Standard correspon- dent, constructed a stop watch which registers the tenths of seconds. Hitherto the smallest fraction of time registered by any timepiece has been the fifth of a second.

ROLL OF THE BARONETAGE. A Royal Warrant has been issued dealing with the rules relating to the hereditary de- gree of baronet. It directs that an official roll of baronets shall be prepared and kept in the Home Department, and that no person whose name is not included in tha.t roll shall be re- ceived or officially addressed as a baronet. Provision is made for the preparation and re- vision of the roll.

LIFEBOAT RESCUE. The lifeboat James and Mary Walker, be- longing to the Royal National Lifeboat Insti- tution, and stationed at Anstruther, was launched on Sunday night, and saved eighteen men, the crew of the large Danish steamer Ansyar, which had stranded near Elie, Fifeshire.

BULGARIAN MILITARY SENSATION. A model of a new automatic pistol, to which great military value is attached, has been stolen from the Weiss factory at Csepel, says a. Buda-Pesth correspondent. Extraordinary precautions .are always taken at the Weiss works, in view of the fact that many new weapons and types of ammunition are manu- factured there, and the place is guarded day and night by sentries. The belief prevail* that the. case is one ofr espionage.

DEATHS ON THE LINE. The mutilated body of Robert Milsted, an independent gentleman, of Riverhead, Seven- oaks, was found on the South-Eastern Rail- way, not far from his residence, early on Sun- day morning. Mr. Milsted, who was thirty vears of age, and married, was a well-known breeder of Great Dines and Scotc-h collies. On the body w:'s t :tter giving directions as to the disposal c. f his dogs. Mr. J..McMillan, of King's-road, King- ston, was found asleep in a compartment of a train which arrived at Kingston about one o'clock on Saturday morning. He was roused and got out on to the platform, but when the had left he was found lying on the line with his skull fractured. It is supposed that in a semi-dazed conditionl he fell off the plat- form.

GIRL'S PERILOUS WALK. A twelve-year-old girl named Howlett, who discovered that she had got into a wrong train at Blackheath, London, alighted at Kid: brook—the train's hrst stop—and, being told by a guard that she would have to return to Blackheath to get a train. for her home at Charlton, started to walk back along the rail- way line and through the railway tunnel, over a quarter of a mile long, between Kid- bxorik and Blackheath. She reached the BIr.ckheath end of the tunnel in an agitated state of mind and with her clothes spattered with mud. She stumbled- several times in the darkness. Fortunately no trains had passed in either direction while she was in the tunnel.

OUR- LONDON LETTER. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] At last there is t n end to the wildest of the rumours that have been floating about ever since the result 01 the election became evi- dent. All the preliminaries have been arranged, the swearing in of Members is tak- ing place this week, and on Monday the King will open Parliament in State.. After that— who call tell: The probability seems to be that the Budget will be pressed through as speedily as possible, and the question of the Lords' veto taken immediately after. It is necessarv, however, to mention even proba- bilities with caution just now everything seems to be extremely uncertain. I am in- clined to think, at the -game time, that those persons who are looking for a series of drama- tic surprises during the first session of the new Parliament- are -liKelv to be a little disap- pointed. There wiii be pome exciting times, certainly, but there is so much ordinary finan- cial and administrative business to be got through that by far the bigger half of the session is likely to be exceedingly humdrum. The firework displays and dramatic surprises, if there are any, will take place at the begin- ning and towards the close. A movement which, according to its pro- moters. has the merit of being entirely non- political, has been set on foot with the idea of bringing about the system of universal mili- tary service in Britain. Those who are at the head of the movement recognise that no poli- tical party will take this matter up seriously until it has been shown that a large see tion of the country is in favour of it7 and their idea is to prepare a monster petition on the subject and present it to the King. Prelimi- nary meetings have hc.n held, and an execu- tive -committee^appointed to look after the proper v.orking of the scheme. This bedr has the quality at any rate of being representa- tive, for it includes a director of the Bar k of England, a well-known actor, clergymen of the Church of England, barristers, a cleric, and a working man. The movement, one of the committee informs me. is a citizen's move- ment hence the absence from the list of the names of any prominent military in-. ;i. The promoters of" tIle" Universal Service Peti- tion. as it is called, seem to bo certain that th -v have a very lar.r-e following, and declare that, so far as they l ave gon?, t-iey have every reason to b -lieve that tlieie w ill he an amaz- ing lespom- to their appeal for s;n■port. It ir the re.r.lt of their efforts will b? quite v. hat they expier., but it will be interesting if tii.'v can discover what the opinion of the country really is on t ie sub ject. The arrangements for t.ie novel dinner- party projected by the Poetry Roeitftl Society are well advanced, and the gathering which is to be held in April, on the birthday of either Wordsworth or Swinburne, should be a remarkably interesting one. As many de- scendants of tile greater English poets a.s pos- sible are to be included among the guests, and already, I believe, the presence of descendants of Wordsworth, Browning, Tennvson. and several ofiiers is assured. The difficulties which will present themselves in deciding how many of the claims for tickets to the dinner on the hereditary principle are genuine v\ ill, I fear, be many, but except for this the idea is a good one. There is some- thing to be thankful for—as one of the ap- proving critics of the venture lias pointed out —in the fact that tHe next Chatterton who starves in a garret will have the consola- tion that his descendants, if he could have afforded any. would always have had the chance of a square meal some day. Now that Paris has given its judgment on Chantecler," London playgoers are asking when they are to have an opportunity of seeing M. Rostand's famous play. Mr..Charles Froh- man, always to the front when anything big has to be done in the theatrical world, has, at enormous cost, secured the American rights, and New York will probably be listening to the crowing of the wonderful cock before the end of the present season. We cannot manage things quite so smartly as that in London, but if Mr. Frohman can carry out a little scheme which he has in mind at present Chantecler mav hold the boards at one of the principal West-End theatres during the autumn season. Meantime, we have something to keep our interest fixed upon the farmyard play in the shape of society's latest headdress—the "Chantecler" hat." I had a glance at a show of them in the window of one of the big West- End milliner's shops the other afternoon, and I daily pass one or two smartly-dressed ladies who have taken to them. It is perhaps im- politic to pass a.ny opinion regarding them, but I may say that, although the sight of a black cock, a white hen, or a golden pheasant perched upon the head of a pretty lady is at first sight rather alarming, there is something quit-e becoming about the "Chantecler" headdress. Strolling into Hampton Court the other afternoon I missed the famous astronomical clock, which is always an object of interest to visitors to the Palace. It has not gone per- manently, I learn, but the dial has been re- moved for repair and repainting. The old timepiece is quite a wonderful contrivance, The winding of it occupies half .an ■hour every week, and the weights descend to a .depth of 60ft. No wonder it requires some winding! If you are clever enough to read its secrets it will tell you among other things the hour, the month, the day of the month, the position of the sun, the phases bf the moon, and the time of high water at London Bridge. Invented by Nicholas Cratzer, a famous German astro- nomer, for Henry VIII., the clock has had an interesting history, and there are a score of legends connected with it. One of the most interesting relates that when Anne, the Queen of James I., died at Hampton Court, the clock, which was striking four at the mo- ment, immediately stopped. What is more, it is alleged to have done so ever since when- ever anyone long resident in the Palace dies within its precincts. I do not vouch for the truth of this, of course, but there are many superstitious people who believe it. Sir Richard Levinge, of Knockden Castle, Mullingar, has won a very pretty and charm- ing wife, and London has lost one of the most delightful of its musical comedy actresses- Miss Irene Desmond. I remember the talented young lady's appearances in The Belle of Mayfair," "Les Marveilleuses," and "The Merry Widow" well; they were marked by conspicuous charm and ability. Sir Richard, who is just over thirty years of age, is the tenth holder of an Irish baronetcy con- ferred in 1704 on the Right Hon. Sir Richard Levinge, who was Chief Justice of the Com- mon Pleas. He is a well-known and popular figure in Irish society, and is a lieutenant in the South Irish Special Reserve. One won- ders who are to be hero and heroine in the next stage romance. I heat humours about the pending engagement of a very well- known young nobleman and one of the pret- tiest and most popular of our musical comedy stars. But, of course, one must not put too much faith in rumours in these days. There are so many of them, and they so very seldom materialise. A pleasant feature of the preparations for Captain Scott's expedition to the Antarctic, which are being rapidly carried forward, is the whole-hearted manner in which all sorts and conditions of people ar« supporting the scheme. Quite on their own initiative several of the big public schools have decided to do their part towards making the expedition a financial success, and the boys are manifest- ing their practical and personal interest in Captain Scott's endeavour to maintain Britain's supremacy in the Antarctic by sub- scribing liberally for the cost of several of the dogs, sledges, and other items of the outfit. The sledges provided will, I believe, bear miniature plates inscribed with the names of the schools which have subscribed for them, and the dogs will be distinguished in the same way. Although subscriptions are coming in well the financial success of the expedition is not yet, I am informed, assured. The total cost, according to Captain Scott, will be £ 50,000. Of this sum the Government have granted £ 20,000, and .the public have already subscribed £ 12,000. From overseas dominions ibout £10,000 is expected, but that etill Jtaves £ 8,000 to come from somewhere.

The Finance Committee of the London County Council reports that a sum cf 15s. in respect of tho licence duty, duo in 1909, for one male ser- vant, has been received anonymously. The twelve men charged with rioting at Droit- wich after the declaration of the reoent poll in that town were all acquitted at the Worcester- shire Assizes on Saturday, but the jury expressed that town were all acquitted at the Worcester- shire A&sizes on Saturday, but the jury expressed the opinion that one of them named Sankey, who was alleged to be a ringleader, deserved severe oensure.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. EDUCATION AND THE LVELOFMENT GRANT. The Development Grant t t; stirred up the widest differences of opinio, among farmers throughout the country. rurally, everyone wants it to be applied to h:> 5NNn pet industry, and that may mean anythiriK from poultry to sugar beet culture. But apart from indi- vidual interests there ought to be some com- mon ground on which all of us would be con- tent to stand. Horse breeding on very strongly organised lines appears not to com- mend itself to all concerned. Even the principles of co-oper.stion do not com- mend themselves universally, and, after all, that probably is a work best left to grow in a. natural way. Co operation necessarily affects some people adversely, and they will not be slow to complain if the State assists others against them. While if it i; found to be a natural tendency, they cannot have much to say. But agricultural research and educa- tion surely should find the support of every- one L'hey are of vital importance to agricul- ture, and" money well spent u.>on them must be to the advantage of the industry. But they must go hand in hand. It is absolutely useless fcr agricultural colleges and experi- mental stations to publish reports on their work year after year :f hardly anyone takes the trouble to make himself acquainted with the {acts as they concern his farm. That steady interest in scientific work is difficult for the ordinary man, and that is ar: the more reason why he should see that his son is well grounded in that knowledge which he lacks by sending him to a pood college and requir- ing him to pass cert" examinations. We are apt to forget—thoueh ne have everything tc remind us—that agriculture is. or should be. one of the most sciontific of all the profes- sions and industries, and it is our business to make our practice much more scientific flrrt much less a rule of thumb. That is why every farmer ought to demand that the questions of research and education should be given first consideration, especially where the expendi- ture of public money is concerned. THE PURCHASE OF CLOVER SEED. Many buyers were very disappointed JJ" year by the results of their clover sowings, and if there was need then ct caution i;: choosing seed there ir. even more need this year. The market appears to be flooded with seed of indifferent quality and uncertain age and germination. Samples of both red and white clover of high uniform merit are rela- tively scarce, and thee is exceptional danger in a season like the present that the bulk will not be equal to the and buyers can only protect themselves ag.-inst err-:r by pro- curing their supplies r,-K? having tne: tested thoroughly for germination a--d purity. Samples of red and white clovers wHicti li: been tested indicate the position regard: the supplies ef these important seeds. 1 I: red clovers, according to the Time-?, range i germinating power from 16 per cent, to l:6 pi I ceat., the respective selling prices of th- sa.mples being 71d. and Is. per lb. The v.-fci;. cloveas vary from 26 per cent, germination r 10d. per lb. to 100 per cent. at Is. i:J. per lb It requires little calculation to show win. :■ quality is the cheaper, aprrt from tha ris". of infesting land with weeds by using foul G; imperfectly cleaned seed. The cleaning pro- cess is of the utmost importance in the case of clover seeds, which are so similar in np- pearance to the seed of many weeds that only an expert can detect the difference. A guarantee of purity as well as of germinating power is plainly, then, a necessity when pur- chasing. < « » MANURTAL REQUIREMENTS. Fortunately several influences have com- bined to lower the prices of artificial manures somewhat upon the average of the past few years. The Nitrate Trust formed, so the public were assured, with the motive merely of preventing a too rapid consumption of the natural resource.?, lias'boen broken down. But it is very probable that the introduction of new compounds of practically equivalent value produced by electric pov-er from atmospheric nitrogen has also told i:: the farmer's favour. A cheap source and supply of nitrogenous manure is a most valu- able asset to the agriculture of this country. The fear of nitrate of soda and its equiva- lents as a. land sucker i1.11d scourge is only held in benighted districts now. The con- sumption last season was the largest on re- cord, and promises to go on increasing if any- thing like the same ran-gc of prices continues. Sulphate of ammonia, was also increased in production last year by some 30.000 tons. but the demand quite equalled the rate of in- crease. It Is very suitable for mixing with superphosphate and potash in the preparathf of well-balanced manures, some time abend CM requirements, and its price remained very steady throughout. 'Guano is fairly plentiful and compa-ratively cheap; but superphos- phates are undoubtedly dear. MAIZE AND PIGS. T 'have before referred to trials, mostly in America, which demonstrated the value of maize as a food for fattening pigs, and am interested to see that they are confirmed by the results of experiments at the Colorado Ex- periment Station. It gave a better return for the money expended than any other dry fo.od. When it was the only meal in the diet it gave the largest revenue, but was even more profit- able when included in a mixture with barley and lucerne. Curiously enough, when given along with beetroots, the maize was ineffec- tive, the lot of pigs receiving this mixture yielding the smallest profit of the t?n groims. Evidently a mixed diet is the most desirable, both in promoting growth and maintaining robust health, while the inclusion of green food such as lucerne is beneficial. A« to the particular foods that should compose the mix- ture, market prices are a foremost considera- tion. The common experience in this country is different from the foregoing, and it has hitherto been advised that maize should be used only in moderate quantities, as it appears to be heating, and to have a prejudi- cial effect upon the quality of the carcase. A new series of trials in this country will be very welcome, particularly if it gave attention as well to the use of separated or skim milk. • • CATTLE AND POLLUTED WATER. It is well worth calling attention to a recent judgment in the Law Courts, as in the pre- sent experimental state of road building the question of polluted waterings interests al- most every livestock owner. A farmer sued the Kent County Council for damages for the loss of a cow through drinking from a stream on his holding which had been polluted bv the tarred water which ran off the County Council road adjoining. The County Court Judge, after taking considerable time to form his decision, held that the tarring of the road, though a reasonable proceeding, was not a,necessary operation, as there was an al- ternative method in the use of granite. He found that the cow was poisoned by tar from the road, and found for the plaintiff. The West Kent Farmers' Union, who were re- sponsible in a great measure for fighting this case, are to be congratulated upon the result. It establishes the point that a stock-breeder or a farmer has the right to protection when there is a danger of the stream from which his cattle drinks becoming polluted by the water which drains from the public highways. No one objects to the efforts of highway au- thorities to make good roads, least of all far- mers, but when they are making such roads it is plainly necessary to see that by their method's they do not inflict i.vjury on those who have stock pastured in thv fields adjoin- ing But material is sometimes used for ex- periment which is much more dangerous to live stock than tar, and it should be borne in mind by responsible officials that in any case it is useless to suppose such material could ever be permitted for general use. The if portance of this decision is emphasised by the fact that the Judge bre(I his judgment upon a. previous decision in the High Courts.

THE WEEK'S GARDENING. IN THE FLOWER GARDrN. Ivies may be planted now. Ivy likes a deep, rich, generous soil. Trench three spits deep, and mix old mortar and well-rotted manure or leaf-mould freely with the so4- The green-leaved kinds are suitable for any aspect; the variegated sorts prefer a west or north position. Shrubs often, in narrow borders, overhang the path, and as a consequence are much in the way. As soon as the weather moderates they should be cut back. They may look rather unsightly for a time, but if some manure is forked in and watered they will soon throw out new growth, and actually pre- sent an improved appearancc. Plants which are pot-bound and maintained in the dry atmosphere of greenhouses at this season are subject, to the attacks of Aphis and Greenfly. Examine the under sides of the leaves of Cinerarias, Calceolarias, Abutilons, ann Verbenas, and if affected give moderate fumigations on three successive evenings. The pest-s are more hardy and enduring at this time of the year than in summer; hence the need of so drastic a remedy..A thorough fumigation now will prove a check for some time to come. Those who can do so should now sow choice Sweet Pea seeds an inch apart, in shallow boxes filled with good soil, putting sorts sepa- rately and naming them, then standing the boxes in a greenhouse or frame, where, hav- ing the benefit of shelter and warmth, good growth will result. When the plants have be- c come sturdy and' well hardened, four inches to five inches in weight, they can be lifted singly and planted outdoors in good soil. A comparatively new Sweet Pea disease called the Streak appears in the form of greyish or brownish streaks, either on the plants when young or when in flower. The effect of an attack is the loss of natural colour in the foliage and a sickly, diseased ap- pearance. In some cases whole 'groups or rows of plants have been ruined by the dis- ease. So far its origin is a mystery, and all attempts to find a satisfactory remedy for it have failed. A peculiarity of the disease, apart from the .streaks on the foliage, is the absence on attacked plants of the usual bac- terial nodules on the roots. This naturally leads to the inference that a cold and wet season like that of last year may have pre- vented the nitrogen fixing bacteria doing their work. xi Early-sown Peas strong'y attract birds, mice, and slugs, and arc evidently discovered by means of scent. When they have been rolled in red lead before sowing, they are to some extent protected, and paraffin, in which they are sometimes immersed for a moment or two, has such a strong and chnging smell that it masks their more subtle odour. The odour seems to be strongest during germina- tion—after the Peas have begun to swell, and it is then that birds and mice are most troublesome. Soot i-s a powerful deodoriser, and frequent applications would probably be useful. The. culture of the Sunflower is very simple. It prefers a deeply-dug and well- manured loam. To do well it must. have ample water duriiv hot we "I" and its ap- pearance is improved if tied neatly to a stake. Seed of the annual varieties may be sown in a frame in March, pricked out into pots when largo enough to handle, and planted out in May; or they may be sown diij.etly where they are to flower, any time from the end of March. When up, they must be thinned out to two or three feet apart, according to the style of growth. The seed of the perennial kinds may also be sown under gla.3S during the spring or early summer. The be«t way to get reliable stocks of good Carnations is to purchase seed of some excel- lent strain which produces good double flowers, and sow it thinly in shallow paiM or boxes early in March, keeping them under glass both till good growth has followed and tlve weather has become softer. Then the pans can be stood in a warm position out- doors to enable the seedlings to harden. Later, if planted out in beds at twelve inchca apart, they will grow into fine plants, and bloom profusely the following year. Any single flowers need not be propagated. Good doubles can be, by means of layers, next August, and thusn. good stock of fine Carna- tions obtained very cheaply. VEGETABLES AND FRUIT. An excellent test for the inexperienced as to the proper condition in which the soil should be to receive seed or be planted is the effect on the tools used. If they become clogged by earth adhering to them, neither planting nor sowing should be done. It will be better to wait for drier conditions than risk seeds or plants in saturated cold earth. The growing of Jerusalem Artichokes en- tails hardly any trouble. The tubers are planted in February or March about Œn. deep, 15in. away from one another, in rows 3ft. apart. They will in an average season crop profusely without any attention at all, though it is advisable to earth up when the stems are Gin. high. It is better, too, to weed them with the hoe now and then and a sum- mer top-dressing of decaned leaves and wood ashes will improve the yield. Celeriac, or Turnip-rooted Celery, aa it is also called, is probably the most nutritious of all the root vegetables. It is more easily grown than Celery. No trenches are neeca- sary, the plants being put out on the flat, but the soil must be rich, and plenty of moisture given in dry periods. It forms a root some- thing like a Turnip, this growing at, or al- most above, the ground level, and must be taken up before sharp frost seta in. Sow the seed in March, putting the plants out as soon as they are strong enough, and planting shallowly. No plants are more easily produced out of season than Mint and Fennel; yet few take the trouble to provide them, though in great request for eariy season dishes. There are other uses to which these herbs may be put besides sauc makiag, but nothing can be more simple than their production at all seasons, by merely potting a few plants, and starting them in a common hotbed, or even a warm greenhouse. In a place where hotbeds are always at work it is only necessary to put some strong roots of Mint and Fennel, plac- ing them in the hotbed at a time according with that at which the supply is likely to be required. Parsley is another herb often absent from the small garden in winter. It does not force, but if a frame or glass cover- ing is put over the plants they are likely to supply all the .leaves needed; this, however, should be usually done before winter comes on. BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER. These plants require a rich soil. In a medium soil which was well manured last sea- son it will be enough to add lime to the top spit in digging it, and sprinkle between the plants (when they are in their permanent quarters) a light dressing of artificial manure, superphosphate of lime being very useful to them. If the soil between the plants is kept thoroughly open to the action of the air by constantly loosening it with the Dutch hoe, and if no weeds are allowed to take away the value of the soil, much better results will be obtained than by depending entirely on manuring heavily. The first sowing of both Broccoli and Cauliflower should be made in shallow boxes of loam and leaf-mould at once, keeping them in a temperature from 50deg. to 60deg. Lime should be dusted over them oc- casionally, even if there be no slugs about. The seedlings should be pricked out 3in. apart into rather deeper boxes as soon as they make their third leaves, and as soon as they have again started growing hardened off in a frame, giving them plenty of air 'in the daytime. They can be planted out during April in a warm., sheltered position. There are few crops that are so waiteful of space and manure as carelessly-grown Broccoli; they take a great deal of nourishment out of the soil, and, unless good heads of bloom appear on them, the return they give is not much.
