SW YDDF Y N ON. The Council School. d-,i y, October 24th saw the village of Swyddffynon in ex- ceptionally high spirits. Lady Amherst and Lady Elnid Vaughan paid a visit to the vil- lage and incidentally relieved some of the most pressing wants of the poor. Lady Amherst is a highly popular lady in the dis- trict, and her name is a household word as the patron of every good cause in the vil- lage. She visited the Council School be- tween the morning and afternoon session and distributed large quantities of sweets and cakes to the children. From the gener- ous way in which she acted, it is evident that the ladies have realized the truth of the saying The way to a Briton's heart is through his stomach." She afterwards ex- amined the school library in the setting up of which she helped materially. She in- formed the teachers that as she was dis- pensing her library, she intended to present some volumes to the school library. The teachers thanked her warmly. Subsequently she begged the children to sing some Welsh songs, and expressed her gratification at the rendering of "our national songs" as she expressed it. This lady is evidently not ashamed of the Welsh blood. Hearty cheers were given to the two ladies as they left the village.

School Board for over 20 years, and also for three years represented the district on the County Council when lie resigned. He was a strong Radical in politics, and for a long period acted as local agent for his party. Though stern at times, a kind heart lay underneath, and many relied upon him as a trusty friend. Mr. Richards had been ailing for some months, but was able to move about among his neighbours until within a few days of his decease. The funeral took place last Saturday when his remains were con- veyed to the Abbey Churchyard. A huge concourse had gathered together in convey- ances, and on foot. The Rev. T. J.

To Stop Hair from Falling out. There are doubtless few of our readers who do not suffer more or less from falling hair —the fore-runner of baldness. While there are several causes for this annoying condi- tion, it is in nine cases out of ten due to the dandruff germ, which, by penetrating the hair root, destroys the vitality thereof and relaxes the muscular tissues which hold and protect the hair sac. If permitted to remain in undisturbed possession, the dan- druff germ soon destroys the life of the hair root, and permanent baldness ensues. To destroy the dandruff germ, stop hair from falling out, and prevent baldness, we know of nothing so effective as to {rub into the scalp morning and night with tho finger tips a lotion which any chemist can prepare by mixing 3 ounces Bay Rum with I o-nce Lavona de Composee and I dram Menthol Crystals. The addition of a spoonful of French Fon Fleur Perfume gives a peculiarly lasting and pleasing odour that is greatly appreciated by many. Used as indicated above, this tonic is unequalled. It is abso- lutely harmless, contains no colouring mat- ter, and many clAim that it has restored their grey hair to its original colour.

Piles for 40 Years. ZAM-BUK'S MARVELLOUS erUE OF 'CASE DESCRIBED AS HOPELESS. Surely no stronger proof of Zam-Buk's extraordinary power to cure the most obstin- ate case or piles need be quoted than the story related bv Mrs. H. Johnson, of 27, Tulloch Street, 'Scotswood Road, Newcastle- on-Tyne. For more than forty years—practkally all my married life," said Mrs. Johnson to a reporter, "I suffered from pi.es, which I 1 think I got through sitting un a cold stone seat' At times the piles bled very badly. making me so I about. It was' Hgony to sit or JiP, down; yet I was often obt 'ged to stay in bed foi- montbtil -t iid months too wretched to got about. I like to have to count number of nidlts I tossed about unable to sleep or to v" grfyt any enso f.rojv» H Jokfuou. the burning, itching A'ewcastle on-fyne. pain. I went for a long time to the dispensary, and when they found their ointments weren t doing any good the doctors wanted to oit>ate. They said there was no other cure. But 1 dreaded an operation, and wouldn't do as they wished. For years afterwards I went on the same old way. being more often ir bed than on my feet. A l the time I kept trying cheap ointments and salves and I must have spent a small fortune on these worthless preparations. It was no good; I couldn't get relief, and at last I felt I should have to finish my life in pain and misery. But on a memorable day, which I shall never forget, a mate at work told my hus- band how Zam-Buk cured his piles. He was so eager for me to try this magic balm,' as. he called it, that he sent me a supply. Believe me," continued Mrs. Johnson, in answer to n query as to the effect Zam- Buk produced, I got more relief from the trial applications of this rich balm than I had known for years. Zam-Buk was so soothing, and I soon found it was removing the piles, too.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES. BY A PRACTICAL FARMER. CATTLE IN WINTER. The sheltering of cattle at night-time dur- ing the colder months of the year is a much- discussed question. It cannot be denied th.t an open-air existence keeps the animals hardy, and so great is the desire nowadays to secure hardihood in the herds that they are allowed to remain out all night upon the pas- tures to a much later daCe than used to be the case. Yet I am not at all sure that the tendency is not rather to go to the other ex- treme, and that the hardihood is bought very dearly. The animal heat necessary to resist the cold has to be supplied by food, and if this is not taken in much-increased quanti- ties the milk yield or the flesh-forming suffers. Much of the lack of hardihood in our herds is due, not to the lack of exposure, cut to the effects of wretched housing through many generations. The a.nimals would be hut each night in a building every tiuy hole stuffed up, so that as little bodily heat as possible might be lost, .d the vitiated a-'mo- sphere would be perfectly congenial to the development of tuberculosis and many other kinds of -disease. We are learning better now, and we are building our cattle houses so that while there are no draughts to bring on chills and aste heat still the air is kept steadily moving and sweet. Under these circumstances no loss of hardihood is likely; while cattle which are rather weak by nature are pro- tected against further weakness. As it has been cleverly put, our cattle are wanted to produce beef and milk, not for a military campaign." Hardihood is a valuable clement in a strain, but it does not make poor into good milkers or slow into quick fatteners. In the process of domesticating animals we have had to go a long way from nature, and to go back to her, as we do when we leave out cattle on the pastures on chilly November nights, is to forfeit some of the qualities gamed by domes- tication. On the whole, then, where the farm buildings are satisfactory I strongly recom- mend the early housing of stock, even in the milder districts; where the farm buildings are still unsatisfactory, a coneiderable wast- age, either in root's and artificial foods, or in milk and meat must be expected. FOOD VALUE OF SOYA BEAN CAKE. It is an easy matter for a skilled analyst to ascertain the chemical composition of any particular food, and so to set out in tabular form the various quantities of food materials in a given quantity of the substance. But be- fore such a food can be proved to be perfectly suited to the cattle, and to be economical, it must be given a number of carefully-observed practical trials These may alter the opinion of the analyst, because one or some of the food constituents may be in a condition not easy for the animals to digest. To a slight extent the analyst's opinion of the food value of soya bean cake has been altered by the practical tests by the Edinburgh and East of Scotland College of Agriculture. Bulletin XXI. now issued by that institution gives details that I will be read with interest by farmers at this season, when such extensive feeding opera- tions are about to commence. In the bulletin it is explained how this new product was I tested in various forms as a component of a well-balanced ration. The experiments were on a scale that should command confidence. Altogether, over fifty feeding cattle were used for about five months in these trials. The ex- periment was really a test of soya bean cake against an equal weight of linseed cake, and Mr. Bruce, the senior lecturer in agriculture, who writes the report, concludes that the re- sults would seem to indicate that soya bean cake is a perfectly safe food when used with discretion, but, notwithstanding its high analysis, ordinary soya bean cake at £6 15s. per ton seems to be a dearer feeding-stuff than good linseed cake at JE9. Also that the poorer the soya bean cake is in oil the better are the results obtained; for the soya bean cake containing 6 per cent. oil has given more profit, in relation to cost, than the cake with 8 per cent. oil, and still more than the one with 11 per cent.; and when the increased cost of the richer cake is taken into consideration, the results are much in favour of the soya bean cake with least oil. As the same amount of oil fed in linseed cake gave good results, it would seem that the unsatisfactory results ob- tained with the soya bean are due to some property of the oil in this food. While it is believed that these results may be helpful to agriculturists, they need not be regarded as final. It is desirable that further trials of this new feeding-stuff should be undertaken. THE NEED FOR RAT LAW. I was writing of the rodent plague only three weeks ago, but I may be pardoned for referring to it again, as the outbreak of bubonic plague in Suffolk has drawn popular attention to the urgent need of reducing the rat population of these islands to proper limits. Sir James Crichton Browne, who has taken a great interest in the subject, estimates that they do yearly damage in Great Britain to the extent of E15,000,000, although no less than S:250,000 is said to be spent on rat poisons. He contends that if concerted action were taken even this expenditure (compara- tively small in proportion to the damage done) would be sufficient to complete the extermina- tion of the pest. Any effort seems well worth making when so great a low is experienced every year. Private efforts can hardly be said to have been at all successful, and if the pest is to be fought the battle must be directed by some central authority. In this respect Denmark actually does set us a lesson, for the destruction of rats was a. sub- ject of legislation by the Government so long ago as 1907. The statute provides that when an association constituted for the purpose of effecting the systematic destruction of rate has proved to the satisfaction of the Minister ot the Interior that it is in a position to ex- pend on the furtherance of its objects, within a period of three years, a earn of not less than 10,000 kroner per annum, it shall be- come incumbent upon each local authority to make suitable arrangements at the expense of the local funds, and, commencing with a. date to be made known by the Minister of the Interior, for the reception and destruc- tion of all rats killed within do district of such authority and delivered up to such authority. For each rat delivered op each local aathority &hall pay a premium, for the payment of which an annual grant shaH be made out of the local funds, which shall be not less than three kroner per each hundred inhabitants within the district of each local authority. The State shall make for a period of three years an annual grant of 30,000 kroner, of which one-third may be expended on scientific experiments, whilst the re- mainder shall be expended on purchasing preparations for the extermination of rats, which shall be either employed on or in public lands or buildings, or out of which re- mainder grants may be made to associations towards the purchase of such preparet ions in a manner to be defined by the Minister of the Interior. Why cannot we do the same in Britain? • • • FRUIT CULTURE. Though the decrease in the area under orchards and small fruit is only some 3,500 acres (according to the official agricultural re- turns collected on June 4th, 1910), still it is rather unexpected. I looked for an increase of at least as much, but now I am afraid we shall hear of a further reduction next year. on account of the present season having proved, as the last did. unfavourable to almost all kinds of fruit culture. This is decidedly un- fortunate, in view of the rapidly-increasing demand for good fruit fresh gathered. Fruit culture is an industry for which the small- holder is better suited than the large farmer. Almost constant attention is necessary, ii;d i liis pari he Daid a great deal more easilv to a rtmall plantation than to a. large one. 1 think tri.«iK who have attempted it with poor suc- eess have failed because they have not given sufficient thought or study to their local con- ditions and the kinds of crop best suited. This usually involves experiment; and experiment with standard trees is very costly. Still, it is often possible to observe the vigour and pro- ductiveness of various grinds and varieties in the neighbourhood, and, making allowance for good, or bad .cultivation, to make use of the other grower's experience. Yet how ofn is this not done before preparations are made for planting?

inese claimed that Literature was the means of civilization. That music without litera- ture was of no influence that it was to literature we owed the being of Socrates, Plato, ete; literature was the means of abolishing slavery, and also the bringing about of the Protestant Reformation that music did not appeal to all and was not lasting in its effect. For "Music" it was ci.i raed among other things that it was here music reigned civilisation was high- (-t; that music was the language of the heart; that the Reformation and all the subsequent religious revivals would not ■ have been so effectual if it were not for rrmsic; music was the highest means of giving glory to God; and music was the e!1it>f feature of Heaven. Some also thought that those who spoke in favour of "Ll-en- .vddneth" gave the word "Cerddoriaeth" to exclusive a meaning, forgetting that the word "Cerddoriaeth" has a wider and deeper meaning than the English word 'usic." They said the word "Peror- T-rtii" would be more appropriate to the m nin, they gave the word. However, after summing up the points bn both sides, a vr to was takdn, and it was carried by a major'ty of eleven that "Literature" was the better means for the uplifting of man." The subject this week will be "Whether it is easier to live a Godly life when rich or when poor." to be led off by Mr. D. J. Benjamin and Miss M. A. Morris.
