ROATH (CARDIFF), Tuesday.—The supply of cattle on offer at this market to-day was rather limited, although, apparently, there were sufficient to meet the demand, which continues slow. Best qualtity steers and htifers were purchasable at from 62s to 65a per owt: eecond qualtity ditto from 58s to 60s. Fat cows were a moderate supply, and were quoted at from 52s to 56s per owt., choice quality light weights and not too fat being in most demand. Sheep were a short supply; consequently, late high rates were fully maintained, viz., best wethers 8d to 9d per lb. secondary sorts from 8d to 8id tegs of good quality from 8id to 9d. Irish yearlings were in good demand at from 8id to 8f; ewes, nice quality, handy weights, and not too fat, made up to 7d; other sorts about 6d per lb The supply of lam bs was somewhat limited, those on offer selling freely at about Is per lb. The supply of calves "was considerably larger to-day than has been the case of late; quotations, of course, varied with the quality a large number chaoged hands at from 8d to 9d per lb, a few extra choice making just a shade more money. The supply of pius was again of the most limited description, scarcely sufficient being penned to meet the require- ments of the pork trade there is nothing new to quote re prices from last report, viz., choice, small, selected Pembrokes realised lis 6d per score, heavy-weight porkers lis to 1 Is 3d; porkers other than Welsh about lis; bacon pigs extremely scarce, the few on offer being sold early at from lOa 3d to 10a 9d per score.

U AGRICULTURE, THE BEST CULTIVATOR.—Now that the cultivator has become such an important implement in the working of the farm, and so many different makes on the market, could you or your numerous readers inform me, through the medium of your valuable paper, which maker produces the best working implement for stiff land P K. [D ifferent farmers have different ideas as to which is the best cultivator, but, as a rule, it may be said that the cultivator which is most extensively used: on stiff land is the one which gives the best results on snch land. A little inquiry amongst occupiers of stiff land will enable our correspondent to arrive at a fairly satisfactory Boding on the subject.] WHOM TO SUB.-Last summer, at a show of breeding stock, a special prize was given for the best animal in the olasses. The prize money having, by a mistake of the secretary, been handed over to the wrong party, must an action to enforce payment be raised against the Committee of Management or the secretary?- EXHIBITOR. [If the priz9 money was handed over to wrong party through a mistake of the secretary, that functionary will most likely see that the mistake is rectified. At the same time, the Society as a body is clearly responsible for a mistake made by any its <?ei<J. I T~ any ?:s. 'he matter should be brought u~ at a g?t)ttH meeting of the Society before legal action is taken. In the remote contingency of legal action requiring to be taken, the action should be taken against the Society, and the notice should be served upon the secretary as secretary of the Society.] S-UCKLEUS. -SIR, -Kindly give me the benefit of your advice on the following :-It is my intention to ad,)pt the plan of rearing calves by sucking puttin, two to each cow-and I am rather at a loss to docide which is the best breed of cow for that purpose. I am farming in Weetrooreland, where the breed ofoattle is excellent, and I thought of using cows of this class crossed by a pure polled Angus bull, or else a Galloway cow and shorthorn bull. Do you consider a good strong heifer of either class capable of rearing two calves at once ? I have no experience of the milking qualities of the Galloway, but, at the present moment, they can be brought at a much less price than the Westmoreland cow, and I understand they are hardier. INQUIRER. [It would be rather too much to expect that a good strong heifer of either of the crosses stated would do justice to two calves at the commencement of her milking period. But if she be a good milking animal, eho could eaeily milk one calf for three months, after which that calf could find for itself, and another calf miht then be put on to her for the rfst of her milking period. A good milking ciw could rear two calves well, and after they have got three to four months' milk from her, they could be put on to other feeding, and another calf could be put on to suckle tho cow for the rest of the milking period. As a rule, Galloway cowa are perhaps scarcely so good milkers as the Westmoreland shorthorns, like the Welsh Blacks, but they are very hardy, and they give a rich quality of milk, so that they are practically as good for the rearing of calves as the shorthorns are. Tho cross of a Galloway cow and a shorthorn bull are grand beefing animals, but there is little to choose between them and the crosses of a shorthorn cow and a polled Angus bull. Both crosses have their advocates, and, provided the animals are good of their kind, any of these crosses may be expeoted to do well ] FGG -FARMING. Can you give me any information as to the capital required to start egg-farming in this country, what sort of land is most suitable, in what districts it is most likely to be successful, and what time of the year is best for starting it ? If you can a'so give me the address of any egg-farm3 at present being successfully carried on I shall be obliged.—INQUIRER [The capital required to start egg-farming would not be heavy, but would depend largely on circumstances. The lighter and cheaper class of soi's would be best adapted for this industry. Any time of the year would be suitable for starting such a business. We cannot say, however, that we know of any case in this district farming or poultry-farming pore and simple has proved a financial success, but, on the other hand, we can point to a good few cases in certain places where it has been a failure. Poultry keeping can be most profitably carried on as an adjunct to ordinary farming, in which case the poultry are able to pick up and utilise a good deal of spilt grain and other food material which would otherwise be wasted.] SAND-CRACK IN COT..T'S FOOT.—I have a two-year-old colt with a sand-crack on her near fore foot. I first observed it about this time last year, when it looked like a cut with some blunt nail on the top of the hoof amongst the hair, and a small crack running down the hoof about 2 inches, but the other day I see it is right out at the bottom of the hoof. It does not got far into the foot. What would you recommend me to do 1— YouNG FARMER. [Sand-craok is a separation or rent of the horny fibres of the hoof, and varies very much in degree. Some cases are very slight, while others are more extensive, extending right through the horn into ] the sensitive structures of the foot, when inflammation is set up, causing much pain and lameness. These cases require poultices to be applied. We advocate the cold water poultices made with bran and cold water. After the inflammation has subsided, the crack can be filled up with tar ointment made with three parts hard fat and one part tar melted together; but before dress- ing with the ointment the top of the crack close to the hair should be burnt across, for which purpose there is nothing better than:the sharp edge of a blacksmith's hearth shovel made red hot and pressed through the horn right across the crack. A second line about 1 inch below the top line will do no harm. After dressing the crack with the ointment, a leather strap may be buckled around the hoof to keep the crack from springing open, or a piece of tarred rope may be tied round the foot. In bad cases an iron clasp, with a screw in front, is put ronnd the foot.] FEEDING FOR MILK AND BUTTFR.-What would be the best artificial foods for cows in the production of milk and butter?—A. M. [Most owners of large dairies have their own particular modes of mixing foods I for the production modes of mixing foods for the produc- tion of milk, and use a quantity of either steamed or boiled foods, such as cut bay, straw, and turnips, I mixed with brewers' grains (cummings), draff, cottoa or compound cakes, crushed oats, maize meal, &a. We do not favour boiled or steamed foods for cattle. The animals enjoy much better health without them but I we are great advocates for soaked chop, half-and-half cut hay and straw steeped in cold water for eight or ten hours, and a good-sized pailful given night and morn- ing along with lb. of treacle, and from 1 to Illb each of decorticated cotton caka. Maize meal, crushed oats, and I lb. of bran dried grains or palm-nut meal may be used instead of the bran. A few sliced turnips added would not harm. In very cold weather a few pailfuls of hot water may be put into the chop to take off the extreme chill. Decorticated cotton cakts and palm-nut meal or cake has a good effect in the production of butter. AGRICULTURAL TEACHING AT ABERYSTAVITH COLLEGE' —SHEEP REARING.—On the 28th February (Mr D. D. Williams in the chair), Mr Marshall Dugdale delivered an able lecture on Sheep-Rearing and Breeding" before the Aberystwith College Agricultural Society. We give the following brief extracts from the lecture as reported in the Welsh Gazette •— "The shepherd should know his sheep and their different character- istics in fact, I consider this one of the most important points of a shepherd. Except for show purposes you want all your ewes to be good milkers but unless the shepherd is well up to his work, there is a possibility of an excellent ewe being drafted out at the end of the season because she looks bad, whereas as a matter of fact she may be one of the best ewes in the flock and her poorness be caused by having suckled one or two very good lambs. In every-day practice you will find that some ewes will, year after year, throw extra- ordinary good lambs. When such is the case, my advice to you is to keep such ewes as long as you can get them to eat, and as long as they can suckle a lamb. Some- times a well behaved flock of sheep will take to had ways, and be led away by some flighty ewe or wether. It is of the utmost importance to find out this lea der at once, and then the beet way is to part with it, otherwise you may have other sheep falling into the sa-ae bad habit. As regards the feeding of the sheep it is moat important for the shepherd to notice how the sheep are doing from day to day They will do well in a pasture for a time, but after that unless they g t a change they will begin to fall away in condition. Your Welsh sheep dog trials are now famous, and show to what pitch of perfection sheep dogs can be brought. In your own cases try and get a broken sheep dog if possible. To train a young dog requires great skill and patience, and if you have ewes in lamb it is decidedly bad to have them driven about by a young dog. If you have a young dog and want to break him from running sheep, ¡the best time is just after the lambing season, as the ewes will then turn on any dog and teacb him his place. My advice to all young fellows is to buy a good broken dog, and then be very quiet and firm with him and try and not spoil him. Of course any man may decide to take up a special breed of sheep, and if he is fortunate enough to be able to got hold of an old established flock his operations will be simple. If however he has to start fresh he cannot do better than quietly go round the farms adjoining the farm he has taken and see the class of sheep kept there. You will have learnt at College that different localities suit different sheep, and you will generally find that the sort of sheep or cattle kept in a district are the best for that particular locality. In the mountains of Wales sheep are generally taken over with the farm, but in the lowland farms you will probably have to buy sheep. This you can do by buying couples in the spring or buying young ones at some sale. In the commebcement you had better begin by being understocked, as you will not know what each of your fields will do. and for the first spring you are pretty sure to be short of grass Let me warn you young fellows against two things, (1) overstocking your farm in a growing year, and (2) baying great bargains. You will find these things very hard to resist, but a lot of money can be lost at both. I strongly advise you all to got your sheep accustomed to a whistle. Always blow your whistle when you get the sheep together. In this way you will gradually teach them what you want aDd in time they will obey the call of the whistle and gather to. gether without the help of a dog. We dip our lambs twice a year-once in June and again in August —and in- the latter month we dip the ewes as well. I consider this of great importance as a preventative against maggots and sheep eeab. The ewes and lambs want careful watching at this time of the year. If you see a ewe or lamb lying down by itself or switching its tail you may suspect maggots. You ought to carry about a bottle containing dip and pour some on the maggots, which will curl up, and you can brush them away with your hand. If you cannot find maggots anywhere on the body of a ram, look under the horns. I once bought a Welsh ram of a particular strain to get a change of blood, and after I had him a few days I got a telephone message that the ram was m'igotted. The young shepherd who attended the sheep had at onoe seen that something was wrong but could not find the seat of the trouble. When his father came he found that the ram was maggotted just a little under the born out of sight close by the ear. I went at once to the farm, but when we opened the door of the box where the ram was we found him dead. A post-mortem examination showed a few maggots deep down in the ear, and one had pierced the brain. In O. taber we draft our lambs. The common practice is to sell lambs indiscriminately, but we always save the best ram lambs and all the ewe lambs. We do this as it enables u4 to select the very best of the ewes, and it is extremely difficult to say early on which ewe lambs will turn out well. Some people breed from ewe lambs, but we do not do eo, as we consider our ewes grow into stronger sheep if we do not breed from them until they are shearlings. During winter don't let the ewes fall away in condition. When snow comes, or if keep is s'aort, don't grudge a little hay. It will keep off the fluke and the ewes will be stronger at lambing. Person- ally, I prefer thousand-headed kale for sheep in prefer- ence to turnipg. Sheep drink a lot of water, and if they can get it will do well in the hottest summers when there is little grass to be seen. They do not care for long rank grass. A little linseed cake with Indian meal and a few crushed beans with chopped mangolds is a good thing to give fbow sheep. My mountain sheep don't get foot-rot, but with Shropshire it is very troublesome. It is very contagious, and it is a good thing to put a sheep that has it by itself.

HOLLOWAY S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—More precious than Gold. Diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera are, through the summer's heat carrying off the young, as the winter's cold destroys the aged. In the most acute cases, where the internal medicines cannot be retained, the greatest relief will immediately result from rubbing Holioway'a soothing Ointment over the abdomen. The friction should be frequent and brisk, to insure the penetration of a large portion of the unguent. This Ointment calms the excited peristaltic action and soothes the pain. Both vomiting and griping yield to it; where fruit or vegetiles have originated the malady, it is proper to remova all indigested matter from the bowels by a moderate dose of Hol'oway's Pills before using the Ointment. HONOURING THE REV. T. P. PHILLIPS, LLANDYSSUL.- A most interesting meeting was held at Horeb Chapel, L',andyssul, on Wednesday week, when the members of the Congregational churches of Seion, Horeb, and Bwlchygroes substantially showed their appreciation of the services of their respected pastor, the Rev. T. Pennant Phillips, fur a period extending over 39 vears. At 6rst the testimonial fund was only open to the members of the three chapels, but others outside his flock expressed a desire to contribute, and the fund was thus thrown cpen. A committee was formed, with Mr Ben Jones, Shop, ai chairman; Mr Ben Davies, BSaenyltan, treasurer, and Mr Thomas Evans, Town Board School, hon sec. Ultimately the presentations took the form of an illuminated address, Tissot's "Life of Christ" (two volumes), and a purse of gold, the whole sum subscribed being L250. The meeting was presided over by tho Rev. J. M. Prytberch, Wern and there were also present the Revs. J Towyn Jones, Garnant; T. Cynfalin Benjamin, Pisgah Evans, Wig; Howells, Llwyncslyn Griffiths, Maesygroes; Lewis, Gwyddgrug; W. Vaughan Edwards, Saron D. Jones, Gwernllwyn; W. James, B.A J P. (U), Brynhyfryd; T. James, M.A. (O.M.), Llandyssul, &o. The Chairman said he was certain that this testimonial carried with it the sincerest regard of the three congregations that Mr Phillips had the good fortune to be pastor of. Mrs Erans, The Shop, Llan. dyssul was hindered by indisposition from attend- ing, and the address was presented by Mr Ben Jones, The Shop, who in glowing terms spoke of the regard in which the recipient was heU by one and all who knew him. The books were given by Mrs Jones, Maesllyn, while the cheque was handed over by Mr Ddniel Davies, Blaenpant, the oldest deacon of tha three churches. In responding the reverend gentleman thanked them sincerely for their appreciation of his modest services during all these years. He was glad to find so many there that day who were present at his ordination services in 1862. The yerrs had glided away smoothlv and utterly devoid of any jars and misunderstanding between pastor and congregations. He expressed a desire that he would be spared to serve them for another 25 years, and that the years to come would be as harmonious as the past. Addresses were also delivered by the Revs. J. Towyn Jones, Garnant; T. Cynfelin Benjamin, Pisgah; JL). Jones, B A., B.D., Pencader; J. Griffiths, Maesygroes; W. James, B.A., J.P., T. James, M.A.,—SoweUs, Hwyneelyn Mr Evan Davies, Maengwyn and Mr Morgan EvaDs, Oakford, all of whom extolled the praises of Mr Phillips at some length.-Mr Phillips, is a native of Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire. When only eight years old he attended a prayer meeting with his father, and afterwards rose to his feet and said that be had a sermon which he would, like to deliver. The deacons consented and much amazed were the congregation to hear the words:of wiedom from such a ? outbful body. Since that time he has consecrated his life to the work of the ministry- He received his primary education at Capel Iwan School, and whilst there he was known as Pregethwr Bach Capel Iwan." In 1859 he entered Brecon College, and at the termination of his course received- a call to Horee and Bwlohygroes, where he has laboured ever since, although he has had numerous tempting: offers to leave for larger spheres. In 1866 Gwernllwyn Chapel was built, and in 1871 Seion, Llandyssul, both of which were branches of Horeb. Soon Bwlchygroes and Horeb were found to be inadequate so the latter was enlarged in 1879 and the former in 1881. In 1900 a large vestry room acd organ chamber were added to Seion Chapel. All these results speak stronger than mere words of Mr Phillips's untiring and persevering labours. He is in great request at all cymanfas, and is acknowledged as the best preacher in the connexion. In politics he a staunch Liberal, and was elected by a large maj ority to represent that party on the County Council three years ago, and this year be was returned unopposed. He is also a member of the County Governing Body and a member of the School Board, besides holding other offices on public bodies.
