HEN HANES. THOMAS KVANir, PENYFEIDR, YN MHLWYF TREFGARN-FAWK, YN NGHYD A'I DEULU. [GAN H. EVANS, CAERFARCHELL.] PAKHAD 0 BASES JOHN PENNOD VII. Gan fod John Evans yn hoff iawn o adrodd rhyw hanesioii a dywediadau am yr hen bobl oedd yn adnabyddus iddo pan yn ieuanc, fe allai nad anfuddiol rhoddi ychydig o honynt, cyn dweud rhagor am nodweddion ei gymenad. UP tio, pan oedd ei dad, Thomas Evans, yo hebrwug y Parch Williams o Banty- celyn o Woodstock i ryw fan, yr oeddent yn pasio heibio palas boneddwr enw Withy Bush. Yr otsdd cvmhesil dJycb- rynllyd uewydd gyoeryd lie, ac yr oedd yr adeilad prydtbrth wedi ei ddryllio yn enbyd, y to wedi ei chwythu tIwrdd, a'r simneiau wedi cwympo, a iiawer o'r coed o'u gwraiJJ, safodd Mr Williams, a syllodd aruo, a dywedodd, Weli di beth a fedr ein Duw ni wneyd ? Fel hyn yr ydyui ni yn mynd trwy y wlad, ac yn pregethu ar hyd y ffyrdd a'r caeau, ac mew a tai anedd ac ysgubonau oud v maa Duw gyda ni, a'r Efangyl yn nerthal trwyddo 1 fwrw csstyil i'r llawr. Ond mi welaf amser ar Gymru pan y bydd wedi ei lUnw a ohapeii hardd a chostus, yn llawn addurniadau ac esm wythfeiuciau ond bydd Duw wedi ei gadael." Gobeitaio nad yw yr amsar hwnw i gymeryd lie. Dro andl, pan oedd ei dad yn nghym- deithas Mr Charles o'r Baja" gotynodd iddo, Beth yw >yr achos lod cymaint o wahaniaeth rnwng eich ysgrileniadau a'ch pregethau, tra mae eich ysgrileniadau yn ddwfn a dysgedig, y mae eich pregethau mor syml ac eglur 7" "0,"meddaiMr Charles, Pan in pregethu fy amcan bob amser yw peidio dweud yr un gair nas gall y llaiaf ei ddeall yn y CApel ei ddiruad.

Un tro yr oedd John Evans yn hebrwry yr hen Lewis Morris o Sir Feirionydd u Hhydygtle i Gaerfarchell. Uu Lewis Morris fyw yn hen iawn, Eu ar daith trwy Sir Benfro pan yn 85 nilwyddjoed. os lJa fa nnwaith ar ol y tro hwnw YJ oedd yn galla cotio yr hen euwogion oedd ar y maes er cychwyniid Methodistiaeth. Ac yn yr ymddyddan ar y ffordd, dywedodd Lewi* Morria, "Fod y gwaitfo yn yn.hwyiu* yn awr; ond nad oedd yr argyhoeddiadau yr un fath yn awr ag oeddent yn nyddian yr hen dadau, na chyniaint o bwys yn cael ei rhuddi ar argyhoeddiad, ond sefyll a wnai yn rahen aniser us na cheid ef. Y mae yn debyg i rod ddwfr yn iYru peiriant, wedi tafia y dwfr i ffwrdd aiff am dro hir yn ei phwysaa ei hnn cyn sefyll. Ac felly gyda chretydd. Os na cheir argyhoeddiad, sefyll a wna yn inhen aimer, oud droi am oes neu oesoedd cyn lhvyr sefyll." Dro aiail yr oedd yn hebrwng y Parch. J. Evans, New Inn, a'i gyiaill Hail i Solfacn. A phan ddaethant i olwg y mor, safodd Mr Evans, a gofynodd, "Awelwchchwihwn acw, dacw y mor mawr, llydan; yno y mae ymlasgiaid heb rifedi, bwystfilod bychain a mawrbn-lfwaith y Gwr y mae fy enaid yn ei garn." Crybwyllwvd o'r blaen am George Thomas, Triffleton, nea fel y gelwid ef yn gyffredin, "Siors, Woodstock." A mynych iawn you yn adrodd rhywbeth am yr "Hen Siors." Y mae yn ymddangos ei fod yn wr crefyddol iawn, er fod rhywbotjh yn ymddangos yn blentynairid ynddo. Aeth at grefydd tua yr un ani-er a'i dad, Thomas Evons, a buont yn gyfeillion mawr byth wed'yn.

Fan yn y cyflwr hwn o ran ei feddwl, aeth i Woodstock i wraado rhyw hre- gethwr, na eilir dweyd yn bresenol pwy ydoedd. Yr oedd yn aros gerllaw y drws, pan giywodd y pregethvvr yn cyineryd ei destyn, Rhuf. v. 6. "LanysCristpau oeddem ni eto yn weiniaid, mewn pryd a fa farw dros yr annnwiol." Beth yw hyn ?" meddai.

AGRICULTURE. FOLDING THE PASTURE. A great improvement may he made in the faee of a pasture by close folding, and par- ticularly in a wet time, when the turf is tender. On many of even the best lairs in a wet winter it is necessary to acinove sheep, both ewes and feeding sheep, for a few days from the turnip field on both pastures, and cart the roots to them. On such occa- sions the sheep should be penned, not only pastured on, the roughest grass, such as stock will not graze off. The sheep should be folded on long enough to thoroughly staple the land, troughs moved so that all the land, is trampled. On land required for barley sowing it is frequently the custom to draw off a certain quantity of swedes when th'ey are lasting too late in the season. These roots may be carted and placed two or three loads in a heap on the poores' uts of a grots field instead of, asusn is done, on to a fallow field, thus allowl; fmther folding being done. The hoggets also have mangels stacked and served in the same manner. Any extra expense and trouble incurred will be well repaid in the im- proved pastures. By these mentioned, and in many other ways, poor pastures may be very much improved both in appearance and quality. oil] THE SITTING HEN. Although artificial incubation is now ai- most universally adopted by all poultry farm- ers and fanciers, there are many who still trust to the" old nen." Success in natural incu- bation depends largely upon the nest. ]1 must be properly made, and placed in a suitable spot. Tliere need be no elaboration about the box. Size is the main thing, and it must be large enough to allow the hen to turn round comfortably. Jus: inside, at the front of the box, nail a strip 01 wood about three inches high, to prevent the nest iroin falling out or being drawn out of shape. Fill the box to a depth of about thiee inches with soil, and work it with the hand iuto a saucer-shaped hollow, pressing He earth well down. The hollow must not be too concave nor too riat. If the former, some of the outside eggs will roli down tne others, and will be eventually broken; if the latter, the eggs will spread out to such an extent that the hen cannot them pro- perly, says the "Agricultural Gazette." Hav- ing formed the nest with the soil, the next thing to do is to line it with soft hay. It is not necessary to damp the nest; in fact, the latter is far better left perfectly dry. [IE CAREFUL HANDLING. Alyays handle the broodies carefully. They are usaally extremely excitable, anu anyone who easily loses his temper would no well to entrust the management of this department to someone else. Place the hen for the first day or two on dummy eggs, and do not en- trust her with more valuable ones until she has settled down and become accustomed to the new nest. If she is very wild it may be necessary to hang a sack or shutter over the door 01 the nest box so as to exclude the light. The sitting liens should always be gi\en a room or building to themselves away from the other stock. Any kind of shed wMl do, so long as it is not too draughty, and is kept clean and free from vermin of ail kinds. A dust-bath, grit, and wateruiust be supplied. One meal a day is sufficient, for the sitters, and it may either consist of barley or cracked maize. Aiways feed at the same time each day and, if the hens will not leave the nests themselves, they must be gently lifted off. uun DURING INCUBATION. During the first week of incubation about ten minutes' cooling wili be long enough for the eggs, but after that the hens may be allowed off for fifteen to twenty minutes in genial weather. On the twentieth day hens' eggs should commence to hatch, and from that time until the whole of the live eggs are hatched, the hen may be left undis- turbed. It may sometimes be necessary, as in the case of a prolonged hatch, to place a little corn within her reach. Duck eggs may be treated in precisely the same manner as hens'. mo HORSES IN SOUTH AFRICA. ilr. C. S. Goldmann, in his work "With French in South Africa," observes that much of the difficulty with horses was due to un- suitable food. Horses on active service, he points out, require food which they cau easily I digest, and on which they are able to live, The system of giving horses a ration of whole oats is not economical. Apart from the tact that horses cannot live on oats alone, the half-starved animals frequently bolted the ration, and consequently derived little benefit from it. If any proof of this were required beyond the emaciated condition of the ani- mals, one had only to visit the sites of bivouacs some weeks after they had been vacated, when they were found covered with a luxuriant crop of oats, nm QUANTITY OF FOOD. The quantity of food required by horses in hard work is from 151b. to 201b. daily at least. Troop horses in England, standing in stables, ahd working on an average one hour a day, are allowed 221b. a day and if taken on manoeuvres, this ration is always consider- ably increased. On active service in a foreign country, i he same horses are expected to live on from 81b. to 101b. of food, and i frequently be under the saddle from forty- eight to sixty hours at a time. When Broad- wood's brigade came up to its wagons (relief of Kimberley), the horses, says Mr. Gold- mann, went nearly mad when they heard the corn being served out. and it was neces- sary to put the bit into their mouths to enable the men to hold them." t stir] MOLE HILLS SHOULD BE SPREAD. In crossing pastures one cannot fail to notice —says a writer in the "Live Stock Journal"— the number of these small mounds of earth thrown up by the moles. Whether moles do good or harm on pastuies, at rate it is absolutely necessary thar t li2 soil thrown up by them be levelled, otherwise as soon as sheep are fresh on the pastures they will in some cases lair on them, and generally trampjc them hat, so that through the summer there will be bare patches over the land. These lit Ie mounds should be levelled and spread o\er the grass, when they will constitute a top-dressing by which the face of the pasture a; least will be improved. If moles are caught before the breeding season commences, so that they do not get too numerous, by thus supplying a top-dressing for the grass, and at the same time in a wet season, such as the present, leaving their snbteirar.a: tracks for water to course through, the wiiier is under the impression they are not the worst enemies the farmer has to fear in the animal world. If the droppings of cattle have been collected and heaped with the scourings from ditches and the cleanings out of ponds, as it is well they should have been during the winter, a nice compost heap will have been formed. This should be carted and spread all the poorest parts of the pastures, furthest away from the place most favoured by the sheep for lairing. This fanc-y spot will be sure to be well manured. mil POISONING OF CATTLE. Attention is called in the: Joumai of Board of Agriculture to cases of poisoning of cattle in Scotland, England, and Holland by meal made from the beans of Phaseolus lunatus, commonly called 'Java" beans. Seve ral cases occurred in Scotland late in iast year, and one in England. It is found that these beans when grown in a wild state con- tain prussic acid. They are dark purple or buff with purple spots. When cultivated they sometimes lose their poisonous- qualify; but it is noi certain that they do so in all cases, and it is, therefore. ir.t safe to use them in mailing meal for cattle or human be- ings. Some people have been poisoned in Holland by eating such meal. The white forgot this bean is the only safe one. Large quantities nf both purple aud wlùte beans have been imported into this country, and some firms of importers have been warned as to the danger of selling them without having them analysed. Farmers are reioirunended to be careful in buying beau meal made from Java or Mauritius ;A.-> they • tell the source from which beans are derived. it is safe only to use meal made from white beans. rum UNDECORTICATElb COTTON CAKES. In an experiment in the feeding of "aUje .and sheep in two kinds of unde< ortieat.ed I cotton cake, carried out at Cockle Park for "the Durham College of Seieme in the ummer of 1902, the best result v «'-e obtained from Bombay cake, as compared with Egyptian, I although the former cost only £3 10; per ton at the nearest station, while the latter cost £5 Is. 3d. The two cakes are now more neatly the same price, and reader: are warned that lots of Bombay cake are of extremely low quality. At the best it is a leas palatable, and contains more woody fibre than the Egyp- tian. In the first month of feeding, when the cattle received 31b. to 51b. of cake each daily, grazing also on pasture, and the sheepl ;.lb. to Alb., the former made the greater in-1 crease of live weight 011 the Bombay cake,! and the latter ou the Egyptian; but in the second month when the cake was increased to 7ib., and the sheep still had gib., cattle, 2 wedders, lambs, and ewes alike made the greater gain from the clieaper-cake.

HAVERFORDWEST ENTIRt HORSE SHOW. (NOTES BY A BREEDER.) Tiie uaverfordwest Entire Horse Show at- tracted quite as many lovers of horses as any pre- vious exhibition. There was a slight falling off in the number of entries, but the standard of former years was well maintained, and farmers will have no difficulty in selecting the type of horse which will best suit their particular mares. Horses have sold so badiy in Pembrokeshire during the past two yeais that there will not be quite as many bred m the immediate future. In the class for thorough-breds tnere was only one entry, namely, Quebec. lie is a fine type of racer, and will no dgubt have a very marked influence on his progeny. In the class for aged cart stallions six en- tered the ring. Buceaneer ill. was placed at the top. Weight, of years have told no rale Oil this horse. lie came out as fresh as ever. A big horse, with good legs and feet, nice flowing feather, and possessing the masculine character, he would undoubtedly have won the championship of the day had there been such a .prize, as lie stood head and shoulders above anything on the field. Second came Toft Masterman, a classy ho; se of good character, with good joints and ieet. Shavingion Helmsman was placed third. He showed better form than last year, and is more popular than ever. Welston Starlight, a big, masculine-looking horse, was fourth. Er call Fame, fifth, carries his years well, and will be in great request, as his stock are very promising. The class for younger cart stallions brought ior:h ten entries. After a tough light, the judges eventually selected Extra Special III. as leader He is by that great sire Duns- more Jameson, but lacks his sire's masculine character. He moves well at the walk and trot, has nice feet and sloping pasterns, but is a trille weak under the knees and hocks. Lunesdale lviing was the runner-up. He came out in great form (rather overdone), has nice character, with plenty of width of bone, but is on the short side, and did not move quite so well as the winner. Third came the hitherto all-conquering grey, Scarborough t hiet. lie has more character than either of the preceding two, and piobably more width of bone, but is too much of the collier type. Tile fourth place was aiioftetl to Dunsmore Nairn, a big horse of good charac- ter, with nice, fiuity bone and silky feather. He did not take kindly too his surroundings, otherwise he would have easily gone up to third place. Hitcheu Beau Harold walked and trotted with great freedom, but was rather on the leg. Still he has character and should produce good geldings. Lydstep Pioneer a two-year-old, and Lydstep Adven- turer, are two full brothers. Both have taLl their gwwth rather ,well, and must have time to furuisli. The younger is the more correct of the two, with good knees and hocks. Both move well. Majestic, another two-year- old, is very promising, and his breeding is right. Lydstep Chancellor has plenty of bone, very good, sound feet, with the very best pasterns, great knees, and correct joints, moves well, and has true character. Agility was an easy winner in the hackney class, going with tremendous dash both fore and aft. He is a dual purpose hackney, with immense bone. Royal Delight went well, and has nice, graceful action, but he is of the saddle type. Newington Connaught is another two-purpose horse, moves very weli. and is a good getter. Activity again is of the saddle type only. Three only competed in the class for cobs. Solelands Swell was an easy winner, going well from the shoulder and snatching his hocks well under him. Silver King ma-de a very good show over the green sward, and Up- to-Date will develop into a very good horse with time. He is only three years old. but is very promising, and has all the good points of his great prize-winning dam. The show was an unqualified success, and it is to be hoped that the energetic commiitee will insist on the prize-winners fulfilling the con-in 1011s to the letter, instead of (as in former yearsl merely taking the lioiiouis and then carefully avoiding the travelling as speci- field. Perhaps a little new blood on the committee would be an advantage.

J MAIN iKOADS AND BRIDGES. A meeting of the Main Roads and Bridges Committee of the Pembroke County Council was held on the 10th at the Shire Hall, Haver- fordwest. Mr. X. A. Roch presided, and there were present: Dr. Giiffith, Messrs W. Howell Walters. W. T. Davies, J. Harries, T. Llewelliu, (Havthog), John Thomas, 1. Reynolds, J. M. Evans, B. Powell, E. Robinson and T. E. Thomas (Trehale). THE HAVERFORDWEST TIOAm. There was an application from the Haver- fordwest Town Council for £ 37o, the agitto sum for Haverfordwest main roads. The Chairman asked had the Surveyor re- ported upon the state of the roads? The Surveyor; I have not been directed 10 inspect them. I can only say they are not. to my satisfaction. Mr. Robinson sa". very soft material was used, and if a recommendal 1011 went from the Committee to use Porthgain stone as beinf; more suitable it would probably have a good effect. "ext time they inigh: then use Porth- gain one. Mr. W. T. Davies quite agreed with Mr. Robinson. Mr. Reynolds and himself had brought the matter up in the Corporation but had been defeated. They passed a resolution .to try Porthgain at a Committee mecinig. but it was rejected by the Town Council. j The Surveyor said lie saw the roads every day, and they were not very satisfactory. Mr. 1. Reynolds said the material was very poor andt not suitable for the traffic, but there was a feeling in the Council in favour of local stone. He thought they ought to impress upon the Council that proper sTones should be used to bring the roads into proper condition. He moved 1 hat the account of k375 be paid as soon as the Surveyor would give a certificate that the roads are in good condition. Mr. E. H. James said lie had been given to understand that rubbish was put on the roads instead of good metal, which would cost more monev. Mr. W. T. Davies seconded the motion winch was carried. KlLGERllAN STATION ROAl, A recommendation was hi ought up from the County Council that the Committee would con- sider an application to declare the road from Ki gerran Station to the borough of Cardigan a main road. Mr. Robinson said there was' a great deal of traffic over the road, and it ought to be de- clared a main road. They had not many roads in the North of the country, far less than they had in the South. He moved that this be declared a main road, subject to the Surveyor's certificate that the road was in good order. The Chairman raised the question of sub- sidies, and pointed out that the road ought to be in good order before it was taken over. He mentioned Sr. David's road which was put in order by the county. Mr. T. Llewelliu said the county did not pay one shilling towards it. The Rural Dis- trict Council paid every penny of it, and it was uow one of the best roads in the County. The Chairman repeated that the county put the St. David's road in order. Mr Llewellin was just as insistent that the District Council did the whole of the work. Dr. Griffith asked how did the Committee stand with >-egard to subsidies? The Clerk said the question was referred back to the Commiitee. The subsidies amoun- ted to J.; J." 5, The Chairman said L3,205 was granted to the Haverfordwest Rural District last year, and that was expended uf on main roads, ther;tc he was right in saying the county had done St. Da\id's road. Mr. Llewellin dissented strongly, and said in the Haverfordwest, district they paid a rate of 2s in the £ for their roads; and in other districts, where the rate was only Is, they got £ 'i00, £ 500 or £600. The discusion was continued in a very dis- cursive way ail was terminated by the adop- tion fit the resolution, moved by Mr. Howe:] Waliets, and seconded by Mr. Peynoldi that a report be received from the Surveyor as to the state of the Kilgerran road before taking any steps. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that the total amount expended on the roads, deducting repayments, wa: £ S.!99 G" 3d this year. against zP6,255 9. Id last year. The average cost per mile was. 1.50 7" lOd thi. year, as against £55 Os 2d last, year. The average cost, per mile was high be- cause 35 mile; were new roads, requiring a heavy outlay to get them into order. The Chairman: That includes St. David'si (Laughter). 1 The Surveyor said St. David's was in very good repair. The cost of 1 lie Milford road was very heavy, owing to the heavy haulage from Johnston Brick Works.

» ECZEMA AFTER SPRING ERUPTION. DANGER LURKS ISfOTSODFIMPlES.- ZAM-BUK PROTECTS. The porous svstem of the skin gets dis- organised in the Spring, an<V1""lsh or mniples are very prevalent. lo ncfeiec these orPto neglect the skin, even i« apparent y healthv, is to run the USK of suflt,ng lie e\7l or the Veiling or inflaming sores of some other distre sing skin disease. A Spring skin-cure that, is simpc, sate, and sure, is Zain- Buk. This pure balm both corrects and pro- tects the skin. A Bristol boy has just been finally cured by Zam-Buk of annual Spring eczema" remarkable conditions. Fredrick \villia l A ..[, Geoige Trott Hves at 1, L.ancastei-.stieei AVUU- dale Road, Redlield, St. George, and to a "Bristol Times and Mirror" reporter his said" Wil ie has suffered acutely from eczema in pimple rashes. He had it every Spring. It was much worse than tne ordinary Spring rashes which people talk about, and altnough it. would start first, on his face, it would quickly spread to his back, in a few hours lie would be simply covered wih pimples, which caused him great agony. He suffered so much with the intense irrita- tion that he could not lie on his back. The pimp.es used to discharge, and so caused others to come. J. took the boy to several chem:sts, and he got a littile better after a very long time, but although the rash passed off in the Winter, it came again in the follow- ing Spring. He was so ill that I had to keep him home from school. I tried several oint- ments, but all to no purpose. One day I got a box of Zam-Buk, and smeaied the baini over the bad places on the boy's back. He felt a little easier, so 1 went for a larger supply. At this time he was in such a very bad state that I had to keep flannels always next to his skin. I applied Zam- Buk three times a day, and first noticed tnat the balm was doing good because the pimples stopped spreading. Our supply was not tin.shed at the end of the first week, but the boy was completely cured." Zam-Buk expels disease, puts the tisues in- to a healthy condition, and wards off or ends spring skin-sickness. It is equally effective for old and young.
