B. and M. and War Loan. I
B. and M. and War Loan. OPPORTUNITY FOR EMPLOYEES. In order to assist employees of the Brecon and Mer- thyr Company who desire to subscribe for the new 5 per cent. War Loan, but who are not in a position to meet the required payments within the period provided by the terms of issue, the directors have authorised ar- rangements by which payments for Stock may be made by deductions through the pay bills. The price at which the Stock is issued by the Government is R4 15s for £5 of stock. The deductions will be made at the rate of 1/- or 2 per week, as preferred by contribu- tors, in respect of each R5 of Stock subscribed for. An allowance of 3/- will be made by the Company in respect of each £5 of Stock, on the men's completed contribu- tions, representing interest at about 6 per cent. per annum; the total amount to be deducted from pay will therefore be R4 12s for each £5 of Stock. The de- ductiorw for the new Loan will commence in the pay- bills for the week ending 3rd March, 1917, and will be completed within two years, or twelve months, as the case may be. The Stock will then be placed in due course in the name of the subscriber, who will be en- titled to the interest accruing thereafter. If cases should arise in which, owing to unforeseen circum- stances, a subscriber becomes unable to complete his payments, arrangements will be made for the return in full of his subscriptions with accrued interest thereon up to the date of the last deduction.

Quebec, The Oldest Apple Crowing"…
Quebec, The Oldest Apple Crowing Province. I There were 10,408,457 bushels of apples produced in Canada in 1910, according to the census of the following year. Of this- quantity 1,481,239 bushels were produced in Quebec. These facts are pointed out in a valuable aDd most comprehensive bulletin recently issued, of which the Dominion horticulturist, Mr W. T. Macoun, is the author. Mr Macoun notes the prominent place I the Dominion has come to occupy in the world's fruit industry and especially as regards the apple. He tells us that there are probably 3,000 named varieties, that 734 have been tested and that 613 are now growing there. He takes a survey of the different provinces, pointing out the varieties that are probably best adapt- ed to certain districts and says that Quebec is the oldest apple-growing province. Complete instruction is given on the cultivation of the apple. He describes in full the necessary treatment of the trees, advises as to the soil that is- best adapted for orchard, says how disease and insect pests can be combatted, counsels as to picking, packing, ship- ping and marketing, tolls of the keeping qualities of different varieties, and, in short, has written a bulle- tin of 136 pages of the utmost worth to the apple- I grower and all interested, or likely to be interested, I in the industry.
-_. - - - -. -I FROM THE FOWL…
I FROM THE FOWL RUN. I BY "ROOSTER." I THE SITTING1 HEN. I Although the present frost and suow is not good weather for talking about sitting hens, still it -must be done if we are to have any young chickens. Of course there are thousands of people who still hatch by hens, partly because they only set the eggs in small quantities at each time and to bring off a big lot to- gether would fill up the place at once, hence they hatch by hens and so bring otf about half a score or some- times less. I The sitting hen is a much abused creature. Either she gives up her work or breaks an egg, and then she comes in for a good deal of slander. Much of this is due to the action of the owner, or at least the cause of it, because the hen has, not been treated properly. Hens are really live creatures, whether when laying or or wanting to sit, and I am afraid that so many people treat them as just a block of wood, which can be thrown about anyhow or used roughly at will. But, if you want her to mother a. young brood, you must treat her kindly and see that all things necessary for her com- fort are done. It is not always so, but at least some people make the nest before finding the hen, and then, when she is found, there is no delay in getting her to work. Take an ordinary box, about 15 inches square, then put in some loose earth, with which fill up the corners and then leave the middle part a little hollow like a saucer. On the earth put a little bruised straw, which will be softer than the fresh, and then shape this 1 round like the earth. Your next work will depend upon the hen. If she is an old stager of your own, to which you are quite accustomed, you can put the eggs into the nest, then freely dust her with insect powder, and at night put her straight on the eggs. In nearly every case they will readily take to the nest and never cause the slightest trouble. The nest box should always be placed in a quiet spot, where there is freedom from vermin and shel- tered from the rough winds, but .when set so early, it is best to put the box in a house, where they can be treated away from the climatic changes to which we are subjected. But it is possible you may have to use a strange hen, in which case care must be used, otherwise the eggs May be wasted. If you can get to a fowl-house, look for a hen which sits close down on the nest and sticks up her feathers when you go near. Put your hand under her body, and, if she settles down on your hand, you may be pretty sure she is a sitter. Still, this hen is on her own nest and not used to you, hence, in changing her, she has to put up with fresh treatment and a new rest. Better to try her on a few dummy eggs first, and, if she takes to these, they should be removed one night and the good ones substituted. When making the nest, remember that the eggs have to be turned each day, and, though you do this in an insubator. the hen must do it for herself when on the nest. With this in mind, do not make the nest too hollow, or she cannot move round the centre ones, and, if the ne-st is flat, some of the eggs may get rolled out to the sides' of the box, and then the hen cannot reach them with her wings, so that, perhaps, before you see them they become cold through and are useless. If you will examine the nest each time the hen comes off you will find that the middle eggs to-day are on the outside to-morrow, or working towards that, and, also, they are being turned over at the same time. This is nature at work. and in working an incubator, we want to copy nature, because there cannot be any im- provement. Another most important thing is to see the hen has food. Many people, to save trouble, will put her in a place enclosed, where food and water can be given and the hen can come off when she likes. But this is not good enough. Unless the natural heat of the body is kept up, don't expect a good hatch, and that heat can I only be kept going by plenty of sound food. Take her off the nest each day and see that she has food. Maize is best, but when they go off this try wheat or barley, and see they get plenty, otherwise the fowl will be- come thin and lack heat. Soft food is not good, but j you had better give a meal of this than let them miss. j With all food allow plenty of grit and clean water.

Radnorshire Insurance I
Radnorshire Insurance I COMMITTEE MEETS. CHAIRMAN'S THREAT. The quarterly meeting of the Radnorshire Insurance Committee was held at the County Buildings, Llandrin- dod Wells, on Friday, when there were present:— Dr. Richard Harding (chairman), Mrs Nicholls, Mrs W. A. Sims, Miss Williams (Dolau), Major (Dr.) Murray, Messrs. C. H. Williams, R. Hughes, J. Hursts E. Gro- ve nor, T. Evans, J. Hamer, W. Thomas. B. P. Lewis, W. Watson, Edward Evans, E. Price and L. Taylor, with the clerk (Mr G. W. Moseley) At the outset of the meeting, Mr C. H. Williams pro- tested against members of the committee having been kept waiting for the meeting for about half-an-hour in consequence of War Pensions Committee being in ses- sion at the same hour, and urged that the standing orders should be strictly adhered to. Mr W. Thomas thought it would be better if thiy met at 1.30 p.m., and then they would be able to give full attention to the business and get home by the afternoon trains. He thought there were advantages in the two committees being summoned for the same day, but he fully agreed that they should not be in session at the same time. He moved that the meetings be at 1.30 p.m. Mr W. Watson seconded. The chairman pointed out that if the large committee met at 1.30 there would not be time for the sub-com- mittees to meet after the arrival of the mid-day trains. Wire they prepared t-o meet- at 10 a.m. as formerly? Dr. Murray joined in the protest against the delay in holding the meeting, pointing out that they were deal- ing with questions and business which was of vital im- portance to the county. Mr B. P. Lewis hoped no extreme action would bg taken that day as the clash might not occur again. He suggested that they should meet at 2 o'clock, and that the other committee should not be called for the same hour. Chairman Threatens Resignation. The chairman said the business of this important com- mittee should not be done in any slip-shod way. Busi- ness of vital importance such as theirs should not be rushed, and members dragged out of other committee rooms in order to get a quorum. At the end of that meeting: he propose to put in his written resignation as a protest against this method of conducting public business. It was not treating the committee or iu- sured persons fairly. Mr Williams said if they were kept waiting for half- an-hour about the corridors again he should resign his seat. After further discussion, the motion was withdrawn, and it was agreed to carry out the standing orders and meet at 2 o'clock. I Resignation. A letter was read from Mr W. W. Johnson, chemist, Llandrindod Wells, stating that owing to being short- handed in consequence of the war, he was bound to re- sign his seat on this committee. It was decided to report the resignation to the In- surance Commissioners. Speaking to a letter received from the Federation of Welsh Insurance Committees, Mr B. P. Lewis said there was good reason for believing that some unfortunate people suffering from tuberculosis were not notified in due time. Unfortunately, the cases had been notified too late in some cases. The existence of the disease should be notified in the early stages by the medical men who attended the cases. The chairman said it did not follow that because cases had not been notified by the medical attendants that they were the ones who were in default. He knew of cases in which domestic servants had not notified their condition because they did not want to lose their places, and when the medical men heard of the cases they were too far gone for hope. The matter was referred to the Sanatorium Com- mittee. Committee Reports. The Medical Benefit Sub-committee reported as fol- lows:—"A communication was received from the Com- missioners stating that they had approved of a grant of £ 513 being made for the year 1916. A letter was received from the Commissioners suggesting that they be authorised to pay on the committee's behalf advari- ces to the Cardiff Insurance Committee in respect of the pricing of prescriptions, and it was resolved to recom- mend that the course suggested in the Commissioners' letter be approved." Mr B. P. Lewis moved the adoption of the report, say. ing the mileage grant would be the same as last year except that one or two doctors were not now on the panel, and their share would be allocated to too me- dical men who had taken up their work. Mr W. Watson seconded, and this was agreed to. The Sanatorium Benefit sub-corninittee reported that they had considered and dealt with 12 reports received from the Tuberculosis officers, and from the military authorities. In six of these cases, the officer reported that the applicants were not suffering from tuberculosis, and in the other seven cases suitable treatment had been recommended. On the motion of Mr J. Hurst, seconded by Mr R. Hughes, the report was adopted. ) The Finance Committee reported that they had resolv- ed to recommend that the index and medical registers be insured for the sum of £ 200 instead of R100 as at present; and also that a letter be sent to each doctor requesting him to carefully keep his duplicate medical register. The chairman and Dr. Murray emphasised the import- ance of these recommendations, and the report was adopted.
iLocking Backward.i
Locking Backward. Most of us at some time or another have been perplexed a.s to which of two alternatives we should (adopt. Later, when looking backward over the decision made. we may have regretted that we did not follow the other course. That is only because the one side of the picture remains hidden, wherea-s the other has been i-eveaded to us by experience. There are obviously many things wJiich do not come within our personal experience. That being so, we must be guided by the experi- ence of others.

Mother's Neglect.I
Mother's Neglect. Sad Story at Crickhowali. X.S.P.C.C. INSPECTOR COMPLIMENTED. At Crickhowell police court, on Wednesday in last week, before Mr A. H. Miers and Dr. P. E. Hill, Edward Edwards (50), timber-feller, and his wife, Sarah Jane Edwards (47), of the Dardv, Llangattock, near Criehoweil, were summoned for neglecting their children—Louisa (14), Mary (12), Edward (9), and their grandson, Wyndham (6 months). Mr Thos. Vaughan, Crickhowell, prosecuted on be- half of the N.S.P.C.C. Both defendants pleaded guilty, but Mr Vaughan said the society did not press the charge against the man, who worked regularly. According to the statement of Inspector Evans, N.S.P.C.C., the woman's own admission wa.s that 30/- came to her hands ewry week. The children were very poorly clad and verminous, and their boots badly needed repair. All the beds were in a filthy con- dition and the bed-clothes merely a heap of tilth. The girl's (Louisa) underclothing was shining and black with dirt. There was an abominable stench proceed- ing from all the bedrooms and the children's clothes were foul smelling. The house was dirty from ceiling to floor-in fact, tl1 all his experience, he had never found a house in a dirtier state. The mother was lazy and slovenly and addicted to drink. There was only i lb. of tea and i lb. of butter in the house. De- fendant had been previously warned. P.s. Edwards (Crickhowell) and S. D. Caine, head- master, Llangattock Church Schools, gave evidence. Mr Miers -said it was useless fining the woman, and she must go to Csk prison for a month. They hoped she would pull herself around. The father would be bound over. TIu- bench wished to compliment the society and Inspector Evans upon the manner in which the case had been got up. It was stated that the girl (Louisa) is going to ser- vice to a local farmer, while the younger children are to be kept- in the Workhouse and maintained at the father's expense.
lWAR SAVINGS.
WAR SAVINGS. MEETING AT LLANELWEDD. I "ECONOMY THE 10l"NDATI0X OF LIBERALITY." On ihursday evening a public meeting was held at the Rectory Room, Llanelwedd, in connection with the War Savings Association. The chair was occupied by the Rev. D. Lewis Davies (rector), who was supported on the platform by Sir Francis Edwards, M.P., Mr David Jones (secretary of the County War Saving Association), and Mr Thornton (headmaster, Llanelwedd School). The chairman, in the course of his remarks, said that they were on the platform that evening with the ab- sence of any party feeling, united under one flag. Their chief object was) to win the war. He remembered that, a few years ago, the late Col. Garnons Williams con- ducted a meeting at Builth Wells, under the auspices of the National Service League, and a play was acted that night showing what would happen in the case of the Germans invading this country. The play portrayed at that time what was exactly taking place to-day. In those days there were people who were opposed to speding money on the Army and Navy, but circumstan- ces had now changed their opinions. He remembered that sometime last year he and others, at the request of Mr Greenway, went round the country asking for re- cruits, in the hope that the war would be carried to a successful issue under the voluntary system, but their efforts did not succeed, and compulsion and conscription had been put in force with regard to men for the Army. The object of forming a War Loan Association was to get assistance to finance the war, and-he was glad to be able to tell them that in the parish of Llanelwedd a War Savings Association had been formed. A short time ago he, in company with Sir Francis Edwards and Mr David Jones, visited Aberedw, and, prior to that, he had been doubtful whether it was advisable to form an association in a small parish like his, but Sir Francis had said there that "this was the day of small things," and these words had greatly stimulated him, and on the 5th February a War Savings Association was formed in his parish of only 100 people. Mr Thornton would report to them that evening what had been done since then. He asked them to give Sir Francis a lieart-,? welcome there that evening. (Applause.) Sir Francis. Edwards, M.P., who was well received, said he weil remembered his last visit to Llanelwedd to a political meeting, when he had a hot reception in that room. The meeting was packed, and the rector of that time was present and gave him no welcome, but looked down his nose. (Laughter.) To-night, however, he was present to talk about a National Saving Association, but they had also been asked to say something about the National Service in which there would he en- rolment of men from 18 to 61. The Government wanted them all to enrol, to take the places of those men who had joined the Army. They wanted men for agriculture, munitions, and they wanted clerks and men for secre- tarial work. liehind the voluntary service there was something else if they would not join. There were some people who could not join, but they could all assist by joining the War Savings Association, as it was neces- sary to do that to keep the old flag flying. Women I were not yet asked to enrol, but that would come later. He was proud to think of what the women of this coun- try had already done in connection with this war. The war would have shortly cost them over k4,000,000,000, and no other country could have stood what Grelt I Britain had done.. About a fortnight ago it was said tli-it this was cost this country £ 5,000,000 per day, now it ost close on £ -6,000,000 per day. If it were not for thi country, France and Russia would have been ruined 10"; ago. The great object of Germany was tyrannise th k liiole world. The German Emperor was proud to be called the "Great War Lord," and to talk of his, soldier- and his power and his ambition was to rule the whole world. They had had a war loan before that was a levy on the rich. but now the Government had issued a war loan which appealed to everyone great and small. He advocated economy which was the very foundation of liberality. It was. lie said, possible to save, and how to do it Air Jones would tell them later on. The Gov- ernment wanted money at present for guns and muni- tions and for feeding and clothing our soldiers and sailors. It. was necessary that the same spirit of deter- mination and pluck should be shown by them in their home as wa- shown by our brave men on sea and in the trenches. The Germans were fighting for might, but England was fighting for treaties, for freedom, and justice, as, the Government of this country was founded upon justice. (Cheers). Sir Francis went on to show"  how the. freedom granted to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa had worked out in favour and support of the Empire at present. He also illus- trated the good results of the freedom enjoyed in India, showing how our men had come to the rescue of the Mother Country from every part of the world. In conclusion he appealed on behalf of the Government for help, exposing the hope that the same spirit would prevail in this country as that which prevailed among our gallant. men. (Cheers). Mr Dd. Jones, of Llandrindod, explained the object of the War Savings Association and showed what great work had been done. in the county. At Llandrindod he said they started some 9 weeks ago, and now they had as many as J associations in the town and the money amounted to tgM. At New-bridge a War Savings As- sociation was formed a fortnight ago, and their total amount at present was £ 411. (Cheers). In the parish of Disserth Mr de Win ton had collected War Loan Cer- tificates realising a sum of £ 25. Mr Jones pointed out the, fact that these War Loan Certificates were sound business investments, and urged them to invest as much as possible. Mr Thornton, the treasurer of the Llanelwedd War Savings Association reported that after starting on February 5th they had secured a sum of £ 73 ]8s, and he understood that since making up that statement C5 more had been brought in. On the motion of Mr Thomas S. Morgan, seconded by Mr Hohhs. a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the chairman, Sir Francis Edwards, Mr D ..Tones, and Mr Thornton for the able way in which they had discharged their duties. The proceedings terminated with the singing of the I National Anthem.

IHirwain Marriage Settlement.…
I Hirwain Marriage Settlement. I .Mr .Justice A4bury. in th" Chancery Division, w:? as!wd to determine questions arising und{'f,t.he marriage settlements of Mrs Ethel Jane tiowen. of Tymawr, Hir- wain, and Air, Alice Payne Hillier, of Bruce Villa, Hir- wain. The matter came before the court on a sum- oiis taken out hy Mr Walter Evans. of Baily Uedw, Sennybridge, a trustee of the will of the ladies' grand- mother, Mrs Alice Seymour, the other trustee being Mr Charles Kenshole, solicitor, Aherdare, who was also a trustee of the two marriage settlements; and one of the respondents. Mr Adams (for the plaintiff) said that the two ladies took the testatrix's residuary estate in equal shares. on attaining 21 years of age, or marriage, By their settlements, which were identical, they assign- ed their interests under the will to the trustee, and at the date of the assignments considerable sums had ac- cumulated upon investment and were treated as part of their property. The question arose as to whether the assignment in the settlements included the investments and income which had been made up to the date of the assignment or the age of 21. The trustees had ealt with it as if it was not included and made advances to each lady which were spent in the purchase of the hoiiK-s in which they lived. Mr Stokes (for the two ladies) said they wished to keep the income out of the settlement. His Lordship held that the settlements carried the income, and upon this Mr Adams said a contract had bet'n proposed by which the trustees should be authorised not to sue for that part of the money in- cluded in the settlements used to purchase the houses, hut to take a charge upon the houses for the amount 1 received.

ITeme Rural Council. I
I Teme Rural Council. I I MUNITIONS v. HEDGES. I I THE PIG "IN THE PARLOUR." I The monthly meeting of the Teme Council took place in the Clerk'* Office, Knighton, 011 Thursday, when Mr P. M. Matthews presided. The clerk announced that Rev. E. Brown (Bedstone) had written stating that he would be unable to attend the meeting, and, also, that the surveyor (Mr J. Wil- liams) would be absent on account of an attack of in- fluenza. The -surveyor had, however, sent a written re- port, which stated that he had communicated with Mr I AV. f. Davies respecting some hedges on his land which required cutting down. Mr Davies had replied that he was busy making munitions, which he considered far more important than hedges. He had no time or oppor- tunity to comply with the order of the council, but, if the surveyor would get the work done, he would pay the workmen. This arrangement was agreed to. In the case of another farmer at the lower end of the district, the clerk was directed to write and ask him to attend to his hedges, in order to avoid further .proceedings. The report also stated that the loading of timber on Stowe road had ceased, that a quantity of stone had been procured for Bueknell and Bedstone roads, and that the surveyor had visited the brook near Cow Hall and had iustructed the workmen to attend to the ford as soon as the frost gives way. C( A letter was read from the Llanfairwaterdine Pari-b Council, asking the District Conncil to instruct the 1 N eyor to fix four motor signals in specified places near the village. The matter was adjourned so that the sur- veyor might submit a report. A letter was read from the Salop County Council, dealing with a circular from the Director- (TeD eral with regard to the enrolment of recruits for national service. A scheme for dividing the county into districts was put forward, and it was suggested that steps should be taken for tJw formation of local committees. The clerk was directed to reply that, while the suggestions might- possibly be applied successfully to populous dis- tricts. the council were of opinion that in the area under their control the scheme would be better carried ont by the parish council, or by the parish meetings where no parish council existed. Pig-Xeeping. A letter was received from the L.G.B., relating to food production and the keeping of pigs, and it was sug- gested, with regard to the latter item, that the council might with advantage at this time relax.any stringent bye-laws. Mr Thomas said that sometime ago everybody kept' pigs, hut of late year. people were hardly allowed to have a pig-stye in their gardens, especialiv near their houses. "Now. however," he said, "you might keep a pig in your .parlour if you wished." (Laughter) They seemed to be adopting the Irish idea-that the best room should he occupied by "the gintleman who paid tli,, rint." (Renewed laughter.) The chairman thought the matter might, he import- ant to town areas, whers pig--keeping had to he carried on under restricted conditions, but it could not much ritiect their district, where nearly everybody kept pigs. Xo action was; taken.
