Death of Sir C. Wilson. PEMBROKESHIRE SOLDIER AND EXPLORER. The death of Major-General Sir Charles William Wilson, K.C.B., F.R.S., on Wednesday, at Tunbridge Wells, removes one who attained distinction as a soldier, a topographer, and an archaeologist. Born at Liverpool on March 14, 1836, the son of the late Mr Edward Wilson, of Hean Castle, Pembrokeshire, he was educa- ted first at St. Davids, and finally at Cheltenham College, from which he obtained the second place in the first open competition for the Royal Engineers and his commission as Lieu- tenant in 1855. Between 1858 and 1862, he I acted as secretary to the North American Boundary Commission, which no doubt proved I his special fitness for this kind of topographical work, since two years later, when a topograph- survey of Jerusalem was undertaken, under j the superintendence of Sir Henry James, Captain Wilson.was sent to carry it out with a small detachment from the Royal engineers. On his return he was appointed, in 1866, to the Ordnance Survey of Scotland, Mid next year acted as Assistant Commissioner on the Borough f Boundary Commission. In the rri y. was married to a daughter of the .u ■ Duffin.

STORING TURNIPS. The main reason for storing turnips is to pro- tect them against damage by frost, though protection against ground game, rooks and wood pigeons, which may be very hard on roots exposed during winter, is also an, important, •object in some districts., Not only should a good system of storage secure these ends, but it should also protect the roots against decay- ing and becoming too dry. Methods of Storing Turnips. The more important, methods of preserving 'turnips over winter are as follows :— 1.—In large heaps, whose length and breadth will depend on the quantity of roots to be stored, but whose depth should not exceed rSl ft. The sides are covered by some 12 in. 2 of straw, overlaid by 4 in. of soil on the sides exposed to the prevailing winds, though 3 in. of soil will suffice on the other sides. The top of the heap is covered by 6 in. of straw kept in position by poles, branches, &c. Old straw ropes removed from stacks that have been thatched may be usefully thrown over the .straw. Soil should not be spread on the top of tlie heap, as it gets washed through amongst the roots and dirties them. 2.—In oblong heaps, like large potato pits or -clamps. The base should have a, breadth of 7 ft., and on this the roots are piled, gradually •contracting to the top like the roof of a house. The whole is afterwards covered by some 12 in. of straw, overlaid by 4 in. of soil on the side 'exposed to the prevailing wind. On the shel- tered side the covering of soil should not ex- ceed 2 in. in depth. Many farmers do not place a complete covering of soil on the shel- tered side, but only a spadeful of soil on every square foot. The ridge of the heap is, in any -case, left clear of soil, so that free ventilation is secured. This style of heap requires more covering in proportion to its contents than the last, but under no system of storing are the roots better preserved. 3.—In small heaps, equally distributed over the fielçl where the roots were grown. Each heap usually contains about 30 cwt., but in some districts, heaps containing only about half-a-ton of roots are formed, in which case, if the crop is a good one, no carting is necessary, the roots being simply thrown together by hand. The size of the heaps should be regu- lated by the size of the dock consuming them, the object being to provide a day's supply in each heap. Thus, with a flock of 200 sheep getting 20 lb. per head per day, about 35 cwt. would be daily required, and this would approxi- mately represent the contents of each heap. The troughs would be moved each morning to a fresh heap, and thus the field would be evenly manured. Should the turnips in these heaps be requred within a few weeks of storing, they are usually only covered by the tops, kept in position by a few spadefuls of soil, but for longer storage a covering of soil is necessaay. Turnips seldom go wrong in such heaps, which bave the additional advantage of being quickly formed. They are specially useful for roots that are intended for consumption by sheep in spring on the land where the crop was grown. 4.—Laying two rows in one and ploughing in is an excellent method of storing roots on light dry land. Under this system the roots are not only well protected, but they are also placed under conditions that admit of their growing considerably if the winter is mild. The method of procedure is as follows :-The row is divided into four equal lengths, and a worker is assigned to each. An ordinary single mould-board plough opens a deep furrow close to the first row, throwing the soil outwards. The first worker then proceeds to lay the roots (with tops and tails attached) of the two ad- joiiaing rows into the furrow, and the plough on returning throws the earth back on the roots, leaving only tops of the leaves exposed. Other two rows are then similarly dealt with, and so the work proeaeds across the field. In spring, when required, the roots are lifted by plough- ing up, dry weather being selected for the .operation. 5.—If labour is scarce or work is pressing, ,consideralil(A protection may be given to grow- ing roots by merely running the double mould- board ridging plough between the rows. In this way the roots, if not very large, are fairly covered, though not so thoroughly as by the previous method. 6. s.M i < is i'' il loivM In of and is r gardeJ. turnips; for the I jr-t)'* ii n u j i i ..spring i deyvl 1 top, which i .eon-id vH !<M'> for the production, of milk.

Points to be observed in storing turnips. The following puin r> should be ohv?. ced. in storing t a.—A dry open 8t„.»uuoi. should be selected on which to place the h -aps. Although proxi- mity to a wood or hedge may seeure shelter from cold whfd, roots often keep much worse under such circum.Uin-o!» tn'. in .AU open exposed place. b,—The roots should be dry and clean when carted. If topped and tailed, the operation should be conducted so as to injure the bulb as little as possible. c.—The turnips should be well matured before storing. This is indicated by the leaves being yellow. d.—It is a good plan, weather permitting, to leave the roots lying in the field, after topping and tailing, for three or four days before carting. This hardens the skin, and brings them into better condition for storing. e.—Unless frost threatens, soil should not be put on the heaps for at least a week after the roots are carted. This permits of the circula- of air and escape of moisture. f.—A word of warning must be uttered as to the danger of spreading finger-and-toe by means of stored turnips. Roots with any suspicion of the taint of this disease should not be con- sumed on tillage land, but should be carted on to permanent pasture.

WHAT SOLVA PLOPLE SAID. "Yes, we certainly place confidence in a neighbour's word, but are the cures thorough, lasting cures ?" This is what Solva people have asked when they have read of neighbours over in Haverfordwest having been cured by Doan's backache kidney pills. To all these the following emphatic statement will come as welcome news :— Mr Howard Williams lives at 1, Dark Street, Haverfordwest. He is a hairdresser by pro- fession, and is well known In Haverfordwest, where he has resided for many years. On 7th December, 1901, he said: "In the course of my business I have a great deal of stooping to do and this always aggravated the kidney com- plaint from which I suftered for a considerable time. The pains in my back were simply dread- ful, and when I caught a cold it invariably flew to my kidneys, causing awful backaches. I suffered also from attacks from dizzines and splitting headaches. At last I got into a very low and run-down condition, and nothing seemed to set me right, until I began with Doan's backache kidney pills. The first few doses of this medicine made me feel much bet- ter, so I decided to continue with it. Now, I I am pleased to say, I am in much better health than I have been for a long time, my back is stronger and the pains have disappeared. Doan's pills have done me the world of good, and I shall always be pleased to recommend them. (Signed) Howard Williams." 17 MONTHS LATER: On 11th May, 1903, our representative met Mr Williams and asked him how he had kept since his cure. Mr Williams replied: "I have been better in every way since I took Doan's backache kidney pills, and have not suffered anything lilte I used to before I used that splendid medicine. I believe Doans pills to be a thoroughly reli- able remedy for backache and other forms of kidney complaint." If you are ill, write and fully describe your case to us. We shall be pleased* to give you the best advice in our power, free of charge. You can depend upon your letter being treated in strictest; confidence. Doan's backache kid- ney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine- pence).
