I The wedding took place at St. Cynog' s Church, Devynock, on Tuesday, February 25th, of Mr. Daniel Davies, Kemmel House, Mmsterly, Shropshire, and Miss Rachel Ann Lake, Devynock Vicarage. The bridegroom is the son of the late Mr. John Davies, Tumble, and the bride the eldest daughter of Mrs. Lake, 98, Wind Street, Amman- ford. The bride was escorded by her uncle, Capt. J. Jones, Gwernaint, Llandebie, and was given away by Miss Davies, The Vicarage. The bridesmaid was Miss M. J. Lake (sister of bride), and the duties of best man were carried out by Mr. Rosser, College Street, Ammanford. The nuptial knot was tied by tihe Vicar, the Rev. D. Davies, B.A., Rural Dean of Brecon II. After the ceremony, luncheon was served at the Vicarage. The presents were numerous, the bride having been a faithful friend and ser- vant of the family for over twenty years, and an ardent Church-worker. The bridegroom has nobly done his bit in France. Later in the day the happy couple left by motor-car for the Mumbles, where the honeymoon was spent.

Competitive Concert at Gwynf ryn, Ammanford. A grand competitive concert was held on Saturday evening last at Gwynfryn Chapel, Ammanford, under the presidency of Mr. D. F. Davies, M.E., F.G.S., Cross Hands. The conductor was the Rev. D. Bryniog Thomas, pastor of Gwynfryn; and the ad- jucators were—music, Mr. D. Griffiths, Caerau; recitations, Mr. T. M. Evans, M.A., Ammanford. Mr. Tom Thomas, Ammanford, accompanied. There were numerous entries in each competition, and the standard was high throughout. It was notice- able that but few competitors were present from outside the Amman Valley and district. The inadequate train service may be respon- sible for this, but it is believed that there were other reasons, in particular the fact that it would requile somewhat of a hero" to come to the Amman Valley to compete, for the musical talent of the district is well known throughout Wales. The following were the prize-winners in in the various competitions:— Solo under 16: Annie Childs, Penygroes. Recitation under 16: Alice May Boultoo, Ammanford. Soprano or contralto solo: Divided be- tween Miss Jennie Evans, Gamant, and Madam Pryce-Jonea, Ammanford. Tenor or bass solo: Mr. Stephen Rogerson, Glanamman. Recitation (adults): Divided between Miss Miriam Evans, Glanamman, and Mr. D. J. Walters, Capel Hendre. Champion solo: Miss Jennie Evans, Gar- nant, who gave a most charming rendering of Ynys y Plant." Party of 12 to 16 voices: Music Lovers (conducted by Mr. Luther Jones, Tirydall). AMMAN.

Brynamman Cyclist Killed. A really distressing fatal accident befell Albert Thomas on Friday evening last. It appears that the young cyclist was proceed- ing on his imotor-cycle down Park Road (where he resided) in order to join a friend on the main road. He mounted the machine by the house, but failed to negotiate the right-angled turning into Park Street, where he intended to go. Consequently he went at a high speed right agamst the house on the other side of the street, his head coming into violent contact with the wall. Dr. Corkey, who was immediately summoned to the spot, found that the unfortunate man had fractured his skuH, and recovery was hopeless. He died about two hours afterwards. Deceased, who was considered to be well versed in the complications of the cycle, was 23 years of age, and had only recently been married, having just removed to his future home. It is conjecblCred that something went wrong with the machine and rendered it un.con- trollable. Some time ago, a brother of his met with a similar accident. He has now recovered. The deceased young man was the son of the late Mr. D. J. Isaac Thomas, M.E. ,and Mrs. Thomas. Deep and un- feigned sympathy is manifested the bereaved young widow, mother and family in this additional tribulation.

Our Poultry Column. WYANDOTTES. Throughout the whole of the poultry industry there is no breed better known nor yet more generally liked than the Wyan- dotte In the breed them is a great variety of colour, so that anyone can please his own fancy and find plenty to interest and amuse. Some folk think it easy to breed a white fowl, but thought it may be to raise a chicken, there is more in producing the essen- tial points of which colour forms a leading one. In these the white is the best known, and though it may seem an easy thing to breed them, there are a few points necessary to make an ideal bird which must be looked for when mating up. Most people seem to have a fancy for showing at some time or other, and when the full list of shows come back again they can have the chance. The average Englishman is a sport and he lakes competition, and few actions are more noticeable than that of exhibiting poultry. In the showing of White Wyandottes, shape, size and colour are very important, but none so prominent as the colour, because if the bird is not of pure colour it cannot be called a White. This is a point very much misunder- stood, and a bird which is thought to be pure in coolur proves very creamy when com- pared with others or with the snow. A new exhibitor cannot understand why he has not won, because at first glance his bird is. equal in shape and size, and perhaps condition, but yet when seen in a good light his may be quite cream, while the one above is pure white. Very few can see what is meant by a pure white when. bard* are seen singly. At home they look all that is necessary, yet when put on the bench by the side of others their faults shew up very much more. Thus while it may be easy to breed chickens, it does not follow that they will come a pure white. But the most popular colour of this family is the White, and I think it correct when I say that more of these are kept than of all the rest put together. It can be found in all parts of the world, and, yet every country gives it a good name as being one of the best ail-round fowls known. That it is a good layer has been proved over and over agam by the records made in the laying competi- tions. When these tests were first held, the White Wyandotte held high places, and on many occasions they have won with plenty of space ahead. All these things have helped to popularise the Wyandotte, and the White in particular, so that to-day it ranks as one of the best all-round breeds we have. Those who will take the trouble can raise a strain which would make good layers, a very use- rful table fowl, and yet an exhibition bird. Unfortunately, the Wyandotte seen on the bench of to-day is big and coarse compared with the ideal type for laying. It can gene- rally be assumed that the bigger the fowl the fewer eggs it will lay, and many of the hens seen in the show pen are too old to lay at all, much less breed chickens. When mating up a pen for laying, take the medium-sized ones almost round like an apple, and then shout on leg and short neck. Reject a hens which (have coarse "faces or surplus flesh round the eyes and the beak, also all which run thick ih the head. A good layer will have a fine head, dean face, and neat comb, while the heavy combs do not necessairly mean good layers. So many novices think that a good big comb means a big layer, but that has come from the breeding and not be-1 cause of its laying qualities. The cock must be small and active with a neat head, as big birds mean less fertile eggs. One great advan- tage with the Wyandotte is that it can be kept on the farm, in runs by the smallholder, or in confioed spaces by the backyarder. The intensive keeper finds them very prolific under this system, so that one can easily say that they form one of the best all-round fowls known.
