FROM THE FOWL RUN. I BY "ROOSTER." j Many poultry keepers- say there is no chance of profit now that the food stuffs are fo dear, but this depends upon how the birds are managed and whether there is economy with carefulness all round. Food ftutti are dear, hut the produce brings bis prices, so that is an equivalent. Table birds have been making from 2/- to (j per lb., and ejjgs 6d each, and this is a good return for any outlay. But there are ether thing!* which .-hould be watched and which will lu-lp to swell the pro- nt-. For instance, the manure from the houses is worth something for artificial manure. In fact this is more valuable than half the fancy 6tutf put on the market. Where the houses have dropping boards so that the exerements can be scraped off clean and pure, it is worth much moTe than when it becomes mixed up with the litter on the floor, though even then it has con- siderable value. Much depend" upon what the. floor covering is, for wood chips and sawdust are not appre- ciated by nurserymen or market gardeners beeau.se it ci'tises a fungus in the ground before it completely rots. Hut if chaff, .s-hort straw, peat moss, or dried braves are beinx used, then the manure becomes a valuable pro- dud: At no time should the droppings be applied direct to the land, hut they want at least two-thirds dry earth mixed with them to enable a more even distribution, and then it Should only be thinly scattered. The fowl manure la, longer in the ground thaii just the im- mediate crop, and so is one of the best manures which (a') be used. Where peat moss or chaff i\ put oil the floor, this can be left for three or four motnth*. arul then take all the lot out together, and use as rt i>s. It is difficult to apportion the value of the manure because it -would depend a good deal upon the purity of the manure. Every farmer should u, this at home, hut in a small garden with a house cr two of fowls it would be too much to put this on thy p:ct continually, and so it must be sold for other growers. One well known poultry breeder used to all hi- manure at tenpence a 'uii^lie!, and I have known it .old at £3 pt-r cart load. Much depends upon the district and whether there is a demand for such manure, but right out in the country it would Y* the farmer only who could use it in any I 'lIamit. and he will buy this now in place of any other artHicials which are far more -carce. ;;< Anotli-er valuable product i> the feathers if there is much killing done at home I know that often there is no account taken of these, and on some farms the feath- cr- are just taken to the manure heap and then carted out to the fields with the manure. Xow they will benefit, the lanil when rotted, but it takes a long time to do this, anti Ill" ides j.t, is a waste of a product which means i,r(;!It to the bu.-ine.ss. Where there is a regular lot of ] fowls killed, all the- feathers -hould be carefully kept i and sorted according to quality. The crdinary wing und tail feathers are ncw heing tied up in bundles for pipe cleaners, and mn-t be kept from the softer kinds. Along the back of all fowls thece are some long-pointed feathers, which will make up for ladies hats, only they mu&t be kept apart and straight, so that they can be tied up in bunches. All the other feathers can be hag. ged up and sold for beds or pillow6. Now ome, will think this is a lot cf trouble, but where there is a good deal of plucking done and regular days for it, a building is usually set apart for the pur- pose. The feathers can h plucked into a big box, or where several pluik together, the common feathers can be dropped on the ground and the best sorted out when taken out. There are usually a few ledges about which will take the. l-est, and the rest fall down when plucked. Of course one must tind the best market for these, and then as^rtain what rtate thev' like them. But any of the old poultry-men know where they can find a market, and easily dispose of more than they can produce. It is an education to see a professional plucker, cr a woman who is u-aed to it. They will take oil all the feathers often before the heart has stopped heating, bnt this does not include stubbing. In some country districts women will do thi., plucking for the feathers in the hepe to find a market. The valiit, will depend upon the times and condition's, but now thev should be worth 2/- a lb., but before the war. I, tc, 1/6 was about the usual rate.

There was a large number present, and, also, a large number of competitors for the various itm. on the programme. In the course of a pleasing address, Mr James Pro- thero, who presided, said that he was very pleased with the honour which had been conferred upon him in being asked to take the chair that evening. He assured them that he was pleased to be there, and to see -such it large number present, although it wa", rather unfor- tunate that another event of a similar nature houlLl clash with this one on the same evening. However, he did not wi-li to make a long speech, as they had a somewhat lengthy programme to go through. lie felt somewhat like a controller. who told people what they should have, and how much they should have. After the address, the following items were competed for, and appended were the winners:- Solo for children under 15, "I love to tell the story": 1st prize, Ma-tor Frank Sheen, Builth; 2nd, Miss Uwen- nie Powell, Gwenllyd.

Roderick also expressed the thanks of Mr Thoma-s, on behalf of the South Wales Union, for their collect-ions. The adjudicators for the evening were Mr Isaac Dav- ies, "Eoo Buallt," Builth (music), and Rev. D. A. Dav- ies. Llandrindod (literature). Mr Isaac Davie.. s-aid that all the entries were good, and he was surprised at the talent shown in mast of the singing. He was also very pleased with the selec- tions, which were very appropriate, and he compli- mented the committee upon the rejection of the well- known tune. "Melita," for the mixed voice party, the rendering of whi-li was executed in pleasing style by rr Frank Davies's party. Rev. D. A. Davies (Llandrindod) aid that he was grateful for the attention which was shown to him in adjudicating. The various competitors had given some excellent renderings of the recitations, and he had en- joyed adjudicating them. Rev. W. Roderick proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, whom he said made. a most excellent chair- man, and lie thanked him most heartily for his very able .services. He also wished to thank the adjudica- tors, who had done their work very well, indeed. Both Mr Isaac Davies and the Rev. D. A. Davies had been to Aberedw before, and their adjudications had been carried out in a fair and lucid manner. The befit com- pliment he could pay them was to invite them to Aber- nlw on another occasion. He also wished to extend his thanks to the accompanist CMis. Price, Aberedw Court), who had worked hard at the organ, and, also, to Mr Frank Davies (Builth), their very able conduc- tor. Al-so, the donors of the prizes which had I teen award-d, and, in fact, to everyone who had helped to contribute towards the success of the evening. Mr William Jonr., (Hendre) seconded. The meeting then concluded with "Gcd save the King. Proceeds of the evening were in aid of Church Funds.

HOW I CORED CHRONIC PILES IN LESS THAN A WEEK. READER SAYS NEMOLIN THE ANTISEPTIC AND POWERFUL HEALING AGENT PHYSICIANS SO OFTEN PRESCRIBE FOR SERIOUS SKIN DISEASES, WILL ALSO PRODUCE IMMEDIATE RELIEF FROM ] TORTURE OF PILES, Etc. Aside from operations, practically all methods 5 of treating piles depend upon shrinking the kwoI- j len tissues with strong astringen-w, and as piles are pnmtarily a state of blood congestion, stich temporary expedients aje i(i.ally wrong in prin- j They may reduce the swelling for a few hours, but merely render the congestion worse i than ever, thue storing up future pain and trouble, since delaying proper treatment means codstan; irritation, sleeplessness, loss of energy and vitality, or even general nervous debility and final breakdown. After I had suffered all the misery of chronic. piks almost constantly for several years, and tried every ima.ginablc oint- ment, suppository, or other treatment without benefit. I finally consulted one of our greatest specialists in skin and rectal disorders. My case had become so complex and so far advanced that h feared an operation might be necessary, but firss advised rne to try the effects of Nemciin for three days. At the end of the three days I was free of all pain, (and obviously well on the road to complete recovery. Within a week all Bymptoms of piles had completely disappeared. That was nearly a year ago, and they have never returned. I found Nemoiin absolutely non-astringent, non- poisonous, and amazingly soothing, cooling, and healing. It stimulates the loW blood congestion —thereby dispersing aU congestion, this being the reason it proves successful even when everything else flails. Any chemist can supply Nemolin at Civile cost, or easily obtain it if necessary, and every sufferer from piles or htetnorr.hoids should try it before submitting to an operation. Opera- tions for piles may often be like pruning a tree. They stop the growth in one spot, but merely to cause more rapid growth in others. In my opin- ion cutting is seldom necessary unless the disorder is neglected until it reaches an extremely advan- ced stage or causes tumour, etc.—M. n. N.

M tLt.) TOILET SOAP

Back to the Land. fi Men With the Spade. By EDWIN DAVIES. "Back to the Land" has long been a cry, hut alas all unheeded in the past. Now, in the face of a great menace of the nation's food supply, men and women are being urged with feverish haste to return to the li.iid-their oldest heritage-and till the ground as they never did before, and never, for at least a cen- tury, have beeir allowed to do. Despite every warning of far^-eeing economists in the past, men and woiine-i- whole families—were driven off the land, and the once fertile and productive soil allowed to become one vast prairie. Sheep! sheep! the eternal sheep! was the sole cry of too many agriculturists. So long ItS there was mutton in the land, what else mattered? Thtrc were men ready- to clutch every acre of land for this purpose, and what concern had they with the unwisdom of depopulating country parishes, and forcing into over-crowded cities, men and women who had been born and bred, and lived happily, a.s. their fathers and grandfathers had before them, in the congenial task of bringing forth the fruits of the earth! With the vanishing of the old territorial power, land- lords ceased to interest themselves, as their forbears had done, in the personal management of their es- tates, and troubled not that country populations were diminishing. The rents came in the same, and if buildings were decreased in number, there wa.s less expense to the estate. And so the devastation of country and village life increased. Nobody, or few, looked ahead at the possible ulti- mate consequences of such folly. We had our splendid Xavy, built up at an enormous expense, to .safe-guard the seas, and secure the. nation its daily bread. The fact that novelists had foreshadowed ships sailing be- neath the waters, and. machines flying the air, had no lessons t6 teach. Such possibilities were the mad imaginings of brainy journalists! Yet what do we find? In the first great war since 1870, despite, the bravery and watchfulness of ollr match-less Jack Tars, the hoaho; sailing beneath the waters have .sent to the bottom of the <=camaj)yhun- dreds. of our focd-carrying ship*, and demonstrated br- yond reasonable question that as a protection of (5reat Britain'^ food supplies the British Navy, with all its resources and splendid courage, is practically powerless. And .so it all comes to this: Back to the Land! The land of England, of Ireland, of Scotland, and of Wales must be tilled, as it was never tilled before, if hunger is to be averted in the future. England ha..s been taught its lesson. The people must (lig-an(i (ii, deep—into the soil, that it may be made to produce food. There is much energy in the land now—men are traversing the length and breadth of it.Olpreaciting the doctrine of digging! If one-half the energy had been expended in the past, what a different story of England in this great war might have been written! A GLANCE BACK. Almost every effort, in the pas-t to secure land for allotments had met with opposition and faiulre. The Small Holdings. Act has been made almost nugatory, because it. administration was chiefly in the hands of persons wlio never knew when they had enough land for themselves. As small farm buildings were allowed to become ruinous, and landlords would not be bothered with re-building, the land was eagerly .seized by men who had been appointed in many places to carry out the provisions of the Small Holding,, Act!-a stupendous piece of folly, which nobody appeared to realise, or lacked the courage to expose. But, thank Heaven in the midst of a great crisis— now that the country is at death-grip with a relentless and unscrupulous enemy—men and women are going hack to the land in their thousands. They have answered the call of their country with splendid patriotic enthusiasm. With spade in hand, and deter- mination in their hearts, they have set about the work of bringing forth the earth-fruitdoing their splendid bit for old England, and showing to the enemy that the British bull dog breed will be more than a match for the Teutonic menace. I have just left a meeting where 500 splendid fel- 1 lows, with remarkable enthusiasm, demonstrated their determination to this year double their work of last year. And there are 3,000 of such men in one city alone, impressed with the same idea, and that number will probably be double in a few weeks' time. And you will find the same spirit in every part of Old Eng- land to-day. If this war has done nothing else for England, it has done this: sent men in thousands back to the land! Oh! the pity cf it! That it should have needed the greatest war in history to awaken the country to the cry so long sent up by the people, "Give us land!" THE FUTURE. Hot what of the future?—when tlii.4 dreadful war shall be at an end, and when our brave sons shall have returned to civil life? What of the future? Shall we go l>ack, think you, to the old order of things? Will those who have gone on to the land now, in response to a pressing national appeal, surrender their right to continue to cultivate land? The man who thinks 1\0 knows not the feeling of the men. It was not their fault in the past that they took no share' in the cul- tivation of the soil. It was a privilege relentlessly denied to them. They are now determined that, having taken their share in helping to meet the demand for food, they will share in a like privilege when the war is over. I have attended some twenty meetings where this matter has been thrashed out. by thousands of men. and their determination is unmistakable. And this line of thought is not confined to one class of men. You j will find it in tb?, ?ma)) trader, in the man who works in olIke" and shops, as well as. in the artisa,iwo l?t Walter Williams, who will have attended many 1* more .such meetings, will, I am eure, confirm this opinion. Land for the people-and yet more land—is- the cry of the hour, and will be for some years to c-ome. The whole land question is in the melting pot, as. are so many other social and economic problems. With an enlarged franchise, a higher intelligence among the people, a people more sober and earnest, assisted by the experience which has already been gained, must bring about a tremendous revolution in regard to the land question. And no Government, to whom a demand is made to face the problem, will possibly be able to ignore it. THE POSITION IN BRECONSHIRE. So far as Brecon.slure is concerned, the trouble in the future will not rest with the landowners, whose past history has been one of beneficent interest in the welfare of tenants. The diffieulties will arise when those who now hold the land as tenants come to he dealt with, and who may oe expected to put every obstacle in the way of converting accommodation grazing land into allotments and building sites. But these difficulties will be overconx-of that there can be no doubt. A larger outlook and a nobler patriotism must pre- vail. The. interests of a few must give, place to the greater happiness of the many. The landowner or tenant who refuses to recognise the changed order of affairs will have but iseant consideration. Men who have fought and bled for Old England-and who want land-will feel that they have a right, to share in its greatest blessings. And what greater blessing than that a man should he allowed, in peace and-eontentment, with fair rent and security of tenure, tO ljve upon and cultivate the land, for whose inviolability from invasion he has risked his Ute and shed his blood' I f, by enlightened policy and friendly co-tfperation, such a desirable end may be obtained, will it be the act of a visionary to predict that our beautiful Brecon- shire will have its ruined and depopulated villages re- stored and peopled as of yore. The old churches and churchyards bear abundant evi- dence of the continuity of families generation after generation. The people lived long, and happily. Is it too much to expect that, in the future, -ftiioh buppinc-s^ may be intensified?—with the possibilities of easier means, of communication, and a readier market for every article produced? And so with its towns. With the great housing -cneme?, which are assuredly coming, there must be no crowding into the smallest passible space the largest possible number of people. There must be more elbow- room—more land at every house and every batch of f^rc » no ??- in these <?y? to crowd within "the walls, V, or beneath embatUcd towers. JHose ideas were u.;{'fnI in far-away times. But tlio44v times have long pa",ed-never again to return.
