28 Years of Skin Humour. "About twenty-eight years ago I had a skin trouble break out about my body from my neck to my hips and to my wrists in a sort of watery wart. I consulted doctors and they did not do any good. I tried all sorts of so-called cures for the skin but they had no effect. I was persuaded, about six months ago, to bry Cuticura. I did so and, provided with Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, I set to work. To my surprise and pleasure, after nine or ten days they (the eruptions) began to dis- appear. Now they are all disappeared and a permanent cure effectted by the sole use of the Outicura Remedies. Arthur Laing, 13, Hamilton St., Monkwearmouth^ Sunder- land, Durham, Dec. 9, 1909." Mr. Laing also says: The only cause that I know of is through wearing a fancy woollen shirt, a new one, before it was washed. As I sweat greatly I fancy the poison from the dye entered the skin and caused blood- poisoning. It did itch but there was no, dis- charge."

PUMPSAINT. Caio Ambulance Class. At the Corona- tion Hall, Pumpsaint, on Wednesday week, Sir James Hills-Johnes, G.C.B., V.C., Dol- aucothy, presented the certificates, vouchers and labels of the St John Ambulance Asso- ciation to the successful candidates in the Caio ambulance class for this year. Mrs. Pryse Rice, Llwynbrain, the president of the Voluntary Aid Society for Carmarthen- shire, gave an address on voluntary aid, and explained the system under which detach- ments were to be formed throughout the kingdom. She said she would very much like to see one made up at Pumpsaint, as there appeared to be plenty of eligible per- sons if they would only take upiihe duties. She was glad to say that Lady Hills-Johnes and Mrs Johnes had consented to be vice- presidents for Carmarthenshire.—The mem- bers of the class gave a demonstration in bandaging and stretcher work, and the audi- ence were keenly interested and highly ap- preciated She many different means of ren- dering first aid to the injured.—Dr. Price, Llansawel, the surgeon instructor, received the certificate of life membership of the St. John Ambulance Association. He was also prec inted by the class with a silver mounted inscribed cigar case.—Mrs Jones, Ffaldy- hI" lin, on behalf of the class. presented Mr V illiam Thomas, the local instructor, with a suitable memento. Both Dr. Price and Mr Thomas have willingly given their ser- vices, and the number of passes, 92 per cent., is very creditable in such a widely scattered area. The class of two years ago is a record one numerically for the kingdom. —To Sir James, who has taken a great interest in the movement from the first and as a token of their regard for him Mr. Thomas (for the class) made a present of an inscribed pruner.—Rev. H. Lloyd, vicar, moved a hearty vote of thanks to Sir James for presiding which was seconded by Mr..Meuric Lloyd and sup- ported, on behalf of the class, by Ivir D. E. Davies, Gelly.—The members and others were treated with tea, etc., at the hall during the afternoon by the' Dolaucothy family.

Baldness in Men and Women ITS CAUSE AND CURE. The alarming increase in the number of bald or partially bald men seen in our theatres, restaurants and public places, and the enormous demand for wigs, switches and artificial hair by women, many of whom are on the sunny side of forty, has led a world- famous expert to make a .borough investiga- tion as to the cause and cure of baldness. As the result of his researches he reports that in practically every case falling hair and baldness were due to the dandruff germ, and he therefore devoted all his energies to the discovery of some means whereby to destroy the dandruff germ. After many failures and discouragemants he at last found a preparation which when rubbed into the scalp often completely cured the dandruff in from two to three applications; it also, by strengthening the hair roots, promoted the the growth of the hair, and frequently re- stored grey hair to its natural colour. Moreover, when used by people who were completely bald, they were astonished to find that it actually grew new hair on bald heads. The formula for this remarkable yet harmless preparation, which we have pleasure in publishing at the request of this great specialist, calls for 3 oz. Bay Rum, t dram Menthol Crystals and 1 oz. Lavona de Com- posee, and can readily be filled by any chemist. If you desire it perfumed you may add a teaspoonful of French Fon Fleur Perfume, which combines perfectly with the other ingredients, and imparts a most pleas- ing odour. Rub thoroughly into the scalp night and nlorning with the finger-tips, being careful not to apply where hair is not desired.

ABERAYRON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. COMMON LODGING HOUSE. The fortnightly meeting of the Board was held on Wednesday of last week, when there were present Mrs. Jones, Llanon (in the chair); Messrs J W Davies, Cydplwyf; J M Jones Cilcennin; W. Jones and Captain Thomas, Llanarth; D. T. Evans, Dihewid: Captain Davies, New Quay; J. E. Jones, Uandyssilio; Captain Jones, Llanbadarn: H. Lewis, Llansantffraid; Dr. Evans, Ystrad; E. Williams, Henfynyw; E. Davies, Llanddewi; J. C. Jones and the Rev. S. Jones, co-opted members. Old Age Pensions. Further protests against the Chancellor's pi- 0posals of charging old age pensions to the rates were received from Holyhead and Lewisham Board of Guardians. The former Board suggested that one-half the cost of the pensions would be a much fairer basis of contribution.—On the motlion of Mr. J. C. Jones, seconded by Mr J. E Jones, it was decided to leave the resolutions on the table. Common Lodging Houses. The following letter from the Inspector of Nuisances re the allegation brought by Dr. Evans against Aberayron Cjommon Lodging House was read:I have been requested by the Aberayron Urban District Council to re- port to you on the sanitary condition of the common lodging house at Rock-s reet. The provisions of the Public Health Act, 1875, relating to common lodging houses have been complied with, and the whole of the walls were lime-washed during the months of October and April. I visited the house three or four times in every month and on each visit I inspected all the beds and cloth- ing. Some time during last wintfer these were not in a satisfactory condition; but during the past three months they have been kept in a clean and satisfactory condition, and I am not at present able to detect tihe presence of vermin. The structural condi- tion of the house, however, is not satisfac- tory. I have been informed by Mr. Roger Lloyd, agent of the Monachty estate, tthTE the whole of this street is to be closed in September."—Dr. Evans doubted the accur- acy of the report. From what he had heard lately he thought it was still in a very bad state. In the face of the report, however, he would not say nothing further. Never- theless, he should like to know whether Mr. Jones had ever inspected lodging houses in other places.—Mr. J. E. Jones said the Guardians had nothing to do with the con- dition of the lodging house, only so far as it related to the men they were sending there. Those were the casuals that called at the Workhouse and were sent to the lodging f house owing to insufficient room. These men were often :n a filthy condition, so that it was difficult to keep the place -clean ter some further discussion, the matter dropped. Son in the Workhouse. David Evans,.Penrneoi, Jiyaroilyn, wrote asking why and by whose orders his son Evan was removed from his home to the Wbrk- house?— The Clerk was instructed to reply according to what had been passed by the Board for the kindness they had shown to- wards her in receiving her son Evan into the House. As, however, she had received 10s. from her husband towards maintaining the family, she intended taking her son Evan home that day. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. FURTHER GRANT TO THE NEW RAILWAY. JOINT MEDICAL OFFICERSHIP. A meeting of the Rural Distrieti Council was held subsequently, Mr. J. W. Davies (in the chair). Crugeryr Bridge. A letter was received.from Talgarreg stat- ing inability to attend as a deputation re proposed bridge at Crugeryr owing to the hai-i-esi and asking for adjournment of a month which was granted. The Light Railway. I Mr. Harford appeared before the Council to support and explain the Aberayron Light Railway directors' letter asking for a further contribution towards tho extra cost. Mr. Harford explained that the cost had ex- ceeded the estimate, but the directors were only asking the different local authorities to contr butc £ 2,000. Then the Treasury would grant an extra R,2,000 and the direc- tors would have to contribute the other £ 4,000.—Dr. Evans asked why iflie directors refused a station at Neuaddlwyd which was a populous place ?-Mr Harford replied that that was not correct. A station would be erected at Neuaddlwyd. As regards Neuadd- ddu, a halt would be provided.—Mr. J. E. Jones asked if the directors had any idea at present of carrying he railway further than Aberayron and Mr Harford replied in the negative.—On the motion of Capt. Thomas, seconded by Mr Ed-vard Williams it was de- cided to grant the extra EI50 asked for I I provided the County Council made an addi- 1 bional contribution. Dangerous R. n tl A letter was read from L'anllwchaiarn Parish Council calling attention to the dan- gerous condition of the road crossing the Soden, near Felin-newydd. — The Surveyor was instructed to repair. Joint Medical Officership. The Clerk of the New Quay Urban Dis- trict Council wrote asking the Rural Coun- cil to arrange a joint committee of the Aberayron Pural, Aberayron Urban, and New Quay Urban Council to discuss the question of appointing a joint medical officer of health for the three districts. It was a [so suggested that the meeting should be held at Llanarth as it was the most central place.—It was decided to meet representa- tives as requested at Aberayron the next fortnightly meeting. Gosen Bridge. Mr. W. Jones, Llanarth, asked the Sur- veyor if in presenting his bills of costs of Gosen bridge about three months ago all the labour was included and also on whose authority the approaches were extended from twenty-four feet to sixty- eight feet P—The Surveyor replied that all the labour was not included; but as the f-< had now gone out of his memory, he would give particulars at the next meeting. Neuadd-ddu Crossing. A letter was read from Mr Yockney, en- gineer of the Light Railway, saying the contractors were prepared to place six truck- loads of filling at the foot of the crossing, which he thought would be satisfactory.— The Clerk was instructed to reply that the road approaching the crossing mus: be filled in. so as to be of tihe same gradient as before. Hedge Clipping. Mr J. E. Jones said there was a com- plaint in his parish that the roadmen were not clipping the hedges as usual, and he as a member was held responsible. As they all knew, he had not brought anything forward as regards hedge clipping and as roadmen j in other districts were clipping hedges, he would like his district to be treated in the same way.—Mr J. M. Jones said a resolu- tion had previously been passed that no hedge clipping was to be done beyond two feet at the bottom.—Mr J. E. Jones then asked that the Surveyor be instructed to clear the pathways in his district, as they had become impassable, and that was agreed to. Increased Wages. The workmen at Gilfachreda Bridge asked for an increase of wages owing to the :ong distance they had to walk to their work. —The sum of three pence extra was granted to those residing outside the district. Sanitary. The Inspector of Nuisances reported that three cases of scarleS fever had been noti- fied at Cross Inn, Llanon, and Bethania. The houses were visited and disinfected. Thirty-eight dwelling houses were inspected, six workshops, four slaughter houses, and four cowsheds and dairies. Six preliminary notices were served requiring the abatement of nuisances and four were complied with.

LLANYBYT II ER. Rural District Council.—Mr. David Dav- ies, Llancrwys, presided over the monthly meeting held on Friday. With regard to Abergorlech Dridge, to which Mr. Lloyd Price had called attention to itis. bad state, Mr. David 'Williams stated that that matter was before the last meeting of the Carmar- thenshire Main Roads Committee, and the surveyor was directed to inspect the place and report. Five tenders were received for the erection of a culvert near Aberceilog, viz., Mr. W. Williams, Manoravon zC47 8s. Mr E. Bowen, Porth House, £ 33; Mr T Jones, Ffosgoy, £ 33, and Mr W. Jones, Carneuadd, J638 10s; Mr J Evans, Bush House, £57 10s.—As two contracts were of the same figure it was resolved that! Messrs. Bowen and T. Bowen be given an oppor- tunity to re-tender. A communication from the iload Board was read, drawing attention to the provisions in the Development and Road Improvement Act. Iti suggested that conferences should be held in each county between the various authorities for the pur- pose of discussing the proposals and of se- lecting, so far as possible, those roads which should in the first instance be submitted for consideration.—Mr. vNicholas, iclerk to 1he County Council wrote stating that it had been determined to hold a conference at Carmarthen. It was resolved to instruct the thvo surveyors to attend the meeting.— A letter from the County Council was also read drawing attention to the annual report of the Medical Officer of Health as to the unsatisfactory condition of dwelling-houses, the absence of building bye-laws and watler supply. The Council expressed opinion that it was "moving" in regard to those matters.

GOLF. NEW QUAY SUMMER MEETING. The first summer open meeting of the New Quay Golf Club concluded on Thursday with the gentlemen's open singles bogey handicap in the morning and the gentle- men's open foursomes medal handicap in the afternoon. At the conclusion of the day's play, at the request of the chairman (the Rev. S. illiams). the prizes were distri- buted by Mrs. D. R. Evans, after which the Rev. Gi-I Fiths, of St. 'Woolos, Newport, Mon., proposed a hearty vote of thanks on behalf of the visitors for the kindness received from Mrs 'Webb and the hon. secretary. This was supported by Mr. D. R. ICvans, and carried with acclamation. Results:— Open Singles Bogey Handicap. D. R, Evans 2 down A. W. Hall 4 down E. D.ivies 4 down A. Pierce 5 down W. J. Webb 6 down Rev. G. WiHiams 6 down G. J.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. WHEAT RUST. The damp and sunless season is responsible for the prevalence of rust among the wheat crops this year. There is no probability of the loss being even roughly estimated, but v.e may take it to be very large, when we consider that Prussia is officially stated to have lost E20,000,000 in a single year as a result of a bad epidemic of rust in its wheat crop. There are many kinds of rust or Puccinia. That which does the greatest damage, especially to the crops of Canada, the United States, Aus- tralia, the Transvaal, and India, is usually known as the black rust of wheat. But Pro- fessor Biffen, of Cambridge University, who probably knows more about the subject than anyone, believes this is not very common in England, most of the damage being done by yellow rust, and his experiments in the breed- ing of rust-resisting varieties have been al- most entirely concerned with that species. His success has been very encouraging; but he is met by the great difficulty that the par- ticular kinds of wheat that have come under his notice as able to resist attack from the disease are not otherwise of much value to the farmer. If that had not been so his task would have beeu simple, but as it is he is satisfactorily breeding these with other and more productive kinds, and in a few seasons hopes to be able to issue seed for practical use. which, while bearing well, is immune against the rust. Of course, I do not overlook the fact that wheat varieties are on the mar- ket which combine n. fair immunity against rust with good yield, and these, when such qualities can be guaranteed, should be pre- ferred to others. But I have been thinking more particularly of the production of kinds capable of withstanding the severest condi- tions. such as occur almost every year locally somewhere or other, and then cause heavy loss. One of the features to be looked for in an immune variety is a cleaner, more rigid, less brittle straw, which means one much less likely to be beaten down in unfavourable weather. Even when it does not damage the grain, rust does extensively weaken the straw, which is thus liable, just as it is through overcrowding, to lodge or become laid. Apart from choice of the least susceptible varieties, it is necessary for the wheat-grower to take what precautions in cultivation he can if he wishes to save his crop from disease. There is no known cure either for yellow or black rust. Spraying an attacked "crop has been tried repeatedly, but without result. The seed grain has been pickled before sow- ing, because it is generally assumed that the fungus which causes the rust lives through the winter in the embryo of the seed; that precaution, too, has been without effect. Ex- cessive moisture is known to be very favour- able to the disease, and, therefore, it is neces- sary to prevent the soil from becoming too damp, by ensuring a good drainage. Good judgment in manuring will prove likely to aslst. the crop to resist attack. Excessive ap- plications of dung and of nitrogenous manures are known to ma,ke wheat more susceptible to rust, and their effects must be counteracted by judicious use of phosphates. Early sowing is another point to be remem- bered; comparative trials have often shown that late sown wheat has not the same im- munity as early sown. The presence of cer- tain weeds, particularly barberry, is said by some experts to be favourable to the produc- tion of the fungus, and though too much should not be expected from this, it may be a. wise precaution to have them eradicated from the neighbourhood of the wheat fields. < EXPORT TRADE TO FRANCE. The Board of Agriculture are asking for publicity to be given to the fact that under new regulations which have been made by the French Government respecting the importa- tion of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs from the United Kingdom into France, the ceitifieate of the Board as to the freedom of the locality from contagious disease has been substituted for the certificate of the local au- thority. Intending exporters of live stock to France should therefore make application to the Board for forms of application for certi- ficates, and for instructions as to the informa- tion required before the certificate can be issued. SHEEP DOG TRIALS. There is no feature that proves so thoroughly entertaining at the shows as sheep dog trials. Later on in the autumn extensive of canine skill in the management of Socks take place on the large mountain ranges where the intelligence ot the sheep clog is most highly developed. It is absorbing to witness the wiles by which three fleet-footed sheep are driven through various obstacles, round stakes and flags, and finally penned. The courses mapped out for sheep dog trials vary. At the more important trials where the hill qualities of a dog are brought out and tested it is necessary to discover the control which the shepherd exercises over the flock in driving and heading off. Rarely is the trick work demanded in the spectacular trial at- tempted in actual experience on the hills. The Maltese cross and the open hurdles are fair tests of a dog's skill, but they may be classed in the same category as circus jump- ing compared with taking a hedge and ditch across country. In the course of some very interesting remarks, a writer in the Morning Post says that while these show to what measure of perfection training may be brought, they do not necessarily bring out the best points of a sheep dog in practice. Every- one knows that a drove of pigs is easier to handle than a single pig with a roving ten- dency. It is so with sheep. Three sheep are much more difficult to manage than a flock. Their course is liable to be deflected by the smallest circumstance not always under the control of the shepherd or his dog. Some pens are wilder than others. A few exhibit a tendency to scatter and take to flight until they are headed off. Other sheep show fight, and test the patience of master and dog to the breaking point. The training of those profes- sional dogs is an art in itself. Naturally, the fiockmaster will not have his flock drilled to teach a young raw dog his work, and when these trials were becoming popular events there were protests uttered against them on account of the encouragement they gave to the shepherd to use the dog on the smallest provocation. It is never a good sign to see a grazing flock bunched up together. It should be spread over a sheltered hillside, and only when their grazing is shifted or they are cor- ralled at weaning tim-j or for a "particular purpose should the sheep be brought together. The old English bobtail sheep dog is not often employed in the^se public trials. The most intelligent and apparently the most easily trained dog is the half-bred collie. The trainers do not always employ the same methods. Their directions are given by word of mouth, by whistle, and by indicating with the hand. When two dogs are worked to- gether they are instructed by varying the -whistling accompaniment. In actual practice dogs at work at a long distance are controlled by signs with an occasional sharp whistle when the sound will carry the distance. Those who have studied the training of the sheep dog detect many tilings in a test which the uninitiated spectator will overlook, but on one and all the sheep dog trial exercises a peculiar fascination. NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN DAIRYING. I am informed by the National Agricultural Examination Board that the annual examina- tions in the science and practice of dairying will be held for English students at the Uni- versity College and British Dairy Institute, Reading, on September 17th and following days, and for Scottish students at the Dairy Sp.hool for Scotland. Kiimarnock. on Sentem- ber :Llcth and loilowmg days. the last date for the receipt of applications to sit at either of these centres is Wednesday, August 31st. The subjects of examination are The general management of a dairy farm, the manage- ment of a dairy, chemistry and bacteriology, practical skill in dairy work, and capacity for imparting instruction to others. Forms of entry, and copies of the regulations and sylla- bus may be obtained of Mr. Thomas McRow, secretary, Royal Agricultural Society, 16, Bedford-square, London, W.C.; or of Mr. James Macdonald, secretary, Highland and Agricultural Society, 3, George IV.
