AGRICULTURE. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS. From time to time lectures are being given at various centres as to the results of experiments on the manuring on crops, fatten- ing of sheep and cattle, &c. Would you inform me if all the different results are pablished in tabulated form, and where I can procure a copy?—DM. [In their annual report on the distribution of grants to the various colleges and other institutions at which agri- cultural education is given, the Board of Agriculture give a resume of the results of the experiments in respect of which a grant of money from the Board is given. The report may be had from the King's printers, Messrs Eyre & Spottiswoode, London.] MILK WITH BAD TASTE.—I have a valuable six.year. old cow which calved a fortnight before her time. A week after she salved her milk commenced to have rather a bad taste. It is now a week past the time she ought to have calved, and the milk is still in the same state yet. She is fed on meadow hay, with a half pail- ful of bran and bean meal night and morning, and a few potatoes at midday.—ANXIOUS [This peculiarity in the milk is frequently noticed where the cow has retained the second cleansing, and we would recommend querist to give the cow one drachm powdered sulphate of iron and half an ounce of common salt each night in a mash of bran for eight or ten nights, also stop the bean meal for a while, and give instead maize meal and and crushed oats mixed.] "KNOT GRASS. "—My turnip field is full of knotty weeds, which are growing upon the surface in the mean. time. Kindly let me know whether it would be better to plough the field with a chilled plough or with a common plough, when I am ploughing for the barley crop ? By putting them below with a chilled plough, would they be so ready to grow a&alu F--SHIRE. [" Knot grass" is one of the worst weeds that the farmer has to reckon with. It is not much use trying to kill weeds—and particularly knot grass "—by means of burying them through deep ploughing, for even though the deep ploughing should effect this end, the result would be that the richest part of the eurfaco soil would be buried to a depth at which its fertilising matter would be practically out of the reach of surface ?pedera. H<? th??a'-ao M?pa. The best plan of dealing feeders, weeds would be to grub the land, and have the weeds taken off before sowing down with the succeeding crop Fl A ÓATCR CROP. -Could you or any reader advise me what to sow down on a lea field along with oats to come up in the end of the year to pasture lambs. I would be pleased with anything that would make a green surface, without growing tco far up among the oats to be trouble- some in harvest. I bad an idea of trying kidney vetoh or sheep's parsley, but, as I never saw either growing, I don't know how they might answer. I intend taking a second crop of oats or barley off the field, so that what- ever is sown would be ploughed down again in the spring. -QILTESTOR. [Some very successful farmers sow a few pounds of red clover on their lea corn break for the use of lambs after harvest. In order to keep the clover from being too rank and troublesome in the butt end of the sheaves at harvest time, the clover seed is not sown till just before the land is rolled after the corn crop has been well up. By growing clover this way among the lea oats the flockmaster not only gets a good deal of excellent feeding for his lambs, but, as clover is a "nitrogen accumulator," he also gets his soil improved through the accumulation of nitrogen compounds in it.] RHEUMATISM IN PIGS. -I shall be glad to have your advice bow to treat pigs which are baa with rheumatism. The pigs are thirteen weeks old. Sjmoofthem can hardly stand on their legs, some are sffecttd in their hind legs, and others in their fore legs. YOUTH. [This is a very common complaint in pigs, and, like the old "kennel cripple" in dogs, is generally dU3 to bad sanitation, such as damp, wet floors, and bad drainage, and mostly seen in winter months. The generality of people think that any sort of hole will do for pigs, which is a great mistake. The pigs would do much better outside altogether than in some of the places we have seen them housed in. Damp, wet sand- stone floors are bad either for pigs, dogs, or calves; the ground damp rises and settles on the warm bodies of the animals, conducing to rheumatism and other ailments. Such plaoes should have a portable wood floor, raised up to 6 to 8 inches above the ground, the planking to be set half an inch apart, or half-inch holes may be bored in different parts of the wood, to let the water through. The portable wood flooring should be lifted once every five or six weeks, and the bottom well cleaned and washed out. With reference to querist's ailing pigs, we would suggest, when the weather is fine, tolpat them out into the fields but if they have been suffering for any length of time, we think it would pay best to make them into pork.] PURITY OF MILK.-The Departmental Committee on this subject reports that they recommend the fixing by the Board of Agriculture of a minimum standard of quality in milk. Although there is great difference of opinion among dairy farmers upon this question, there is no doubt that all honest milk sellers suffer seriously from the adulteration of new with separated milk, which vastly increases the bulk, and thus reduoes the price of whole milk. Seven out of eight members of the Committee signed the report, Mr George Barham being the only dissentient, though Mr S. W. Farmer makes a w reservations, the most important of which is an objection to one standard for all seasons. The Committee suggest that when the total solids in milk sold as whole fresh milk are less than 12 per cent., it shall be presumed, until the contrary is proved, that the fluid is deficient in the normal constituents of genuine milk; that where the total solids are less than 12 per cent., and the fat is under 3-25 per cent., it shall be presumed, until the contrary is proved, that separated milk or water has been added, and that when the non. fatty solids are less than 8-5 per cent., adulteration with water shall be suspected. Similar recommendations name 9 per cent. of total solids as the minimum standard for skimmed or separated milk, and 10 per cent. of fat with 25 per cent. of other solids for con- densed milk not labelled machine-skimmed or "shimmed." A valuable suggestion is to the effect that the artificial thickening of cream shall raise the presumption that it is not genuine. They think that the administrators of the Food and Drugs Act should adopt measures for preventing the reduction of the quality of genuine milk to the minimum standard; that separated milk should be made easily recognisable by the addition of some innocuous matter; that proceedings relating to samples of milk and their analysis should be uniform, so far as possible; that on the labels attached to condensed whole milk the amount of dilution necessary to make the proportion of fat 3-25 per cent should be stated; that the addition of sugar to condensed whole milk should be limited, while its addition to condensed skimmed milk should be prohibited; ind that measuring vessels, commercially used in the testing of milk, should be officially standarised. LOCAL TAXATION AND ITS INCIDENCE ON LAND.—In I view of the renewal of the Agricultural Rates Act of 1896 some interest attaches to a paper read by Mr J. W. I Lowther, M.P., before the Cumberland and Westmor- land Chamber of Agriculture. After tracing the process of piling local burdens upon one description of I property, and the gradual relief to the owners and occupiers of that property given by means of grants from the Imperial Exchequer 6r"t and the allocation of of certain duties and licanoea afterwards, Mr Lowther j gives a tabular statement of the totals of rates and of j contributions from Imperial sources in different years. j Bat, although he showa that while, in the last fifty years, rates have increased threefold, and relief from Imperial sources has been multiplied ninefold, he points out that owners and occupiers of real property have to bear their share of the Imperial contributions, as well as to pay the whole of the rest of the rates whereas owners of personalty contribute only to the former portion of local expenses. To show how the burdens of Imperial and local taxes are divided between real and personal property, he takes some figures from the tables on the subject, complied by Sir E. Hamilton, of the Treasury, as follows:— TAXES ON REALTY. Levied by Parliament £ 13,209,000 Levied by Local Authorities. 19,930,000 I 33,139.000 TAXES ON PERSONALTY. Levied by Parliament .£19,801,000 Levied by Local Authorities. 3,348,000 23,149,000 Here we have a balance of neatly L 10,000,000 against: real property, in spite of all the Imperial aid given to ratepayers. FEEDING CATTLE GOING LAME. —In October of last year I bought a Lit of well-bred six-quarter-old English cattle, and put them into my courts for winter feeding. They throve all right for a time, but my yellow turnips got done rather early in the sia&on, and these cattle then were put on to swt dep. They were also getting a little cake. Not very lorg hftfr they were put on to the swedes, in the end of January, I noticed that they did not seem to be thriving very well. Since that time, a number of them have gone" off colour altogether. The symptoms of ill-health which they present are a marked lameness, tucked up bellies, and staring coats. Our local vet, is unable to eay what can be the cause, or the cure, for the trouble. Could the swedes have anything to do with it P I may say that I had a few but only a few similar cattle which went the same way last winter after they were put on to the swedes, there were not so many of them that went wrong.—ANXIOUS FARMER. [We do not like tojhazard opinions when other professional men have been in attendance, and if the vet. that has seen the cases be a fully qualified man, he is the party best adapted to give an opmion. However, from the particulars given in the query, it seems to us that there is something wrong with the courts, seeing that querist had similar cattle that went same way last year." There must, we think, be something amiss with the drainage or ground floor- ing, this should be seen to at once. There is nothing that will cause young stocb to go cripple or lame sooner than wet or damp flooring, acd if such is the case, the eooner the animals are put out on to a sound dry pasture the better. Their mouths should be examined, as it is possible some of the crowns of their milk teeth have not been cast off, and should be removed. Two tablespoonfuls of best cod- livee oil should be given night and morning in a little meal and bran, and a tablespoonful of salt.]
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.j
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. Do you know that it has often been said, that great events happen at the end and the beginning of a century ? No doubt, we shall have the usual prophets forecasting the probabilities of all sorts of startling occurrences to mark the commencement of the 20th Century, but there is no one bold enough to predict that there will be less of pain and suffering, less of human misery and disease in the World. The lot of human kind ier to suffer, and the greatest benefactor is he who does something to mitigate pain and afflotion. Never prophecy till you know," is a wise saying, and we adopt this maxim when we say that Gwiljm Evans' Quinine Bitters is destined to cccupy a greatly extended sphere of usefulness in the new Century. It has been proved by thousand of sufferers to be the one safe and certain remedy for all Nervous Disorders, Low Spirits, Depression, Liver Complaints, Indigestion, and General Weakness.

FEDERATION. I The welding of different communities for the common good is a grand idea, that is now seen in progress at the Antipodes. This is the kind of development in civilisation that makes Great Britain, hand-in-hand with Greater Britain, shine out as a jewel among the nations of the world. Just as we witness in the world of Science, amid the humanizing agencies for the amelioration of sickness and suffering. Note the comprehensive federation of Nature's helps ard aids in Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. Here we have Sarsaparilla, Gentian. Burdock. Lavender. Dandelion. Saffron, and Quinine, all brought together, and each- for those particular properties wanted to make perfect the requirements for remedying human suffering arising from Liver Disorders, Stomach Troubles, Weak Nerves, Poor Blood, and Bodily Weakness from all causes. Givilym Evans' Quinine Uitter9 is wanted by you Fathers, Mothers, and Children; for there is no condition of life where a tonic is not required at some time, and this is nature's own tonic, which meets all the demands of the human system.

I GATHERING OF THE WELSH PARTY AT THE DEVONSHIRE CLUB —Mr Alfred Thomas, as chairman of the Welsh Parliamentary Party, gave the usual Sessional dinner to his friends and colleaugues on Friday night at the Devonshire Club, St. James'p. Lord Rosebt-ry and Sir William Harcourt had accepted Mr Alfred Thomas's invitations to be present, but the latter was kept away. The Welsh Liberal members attended almost to a man. Among them were Mr F. Edwards, Mr Herbert Lewis, Mr Lloyd George, Mr Vaughan Davies, Mr W. Abraham (Mabon); Sir E. J. Heid, K.C.B. Mr Pritohard Morgan, Mr Abel Thomas, K.C. Mr Brynmor Jones, Mr Alfred Thomas (chair); Mr Lloyd Morgan, Mr S. T. Evan, Mr Alfred Davies, Mr D. A. Thomas, Mr Wm. Jones, and Major Jones. BYGONES."—A COLLECTION OF WELSH FOLKLORE AND ANTIQUITIES.—Many readers will probably be thankful to have their attention directed to the recent publication of volume 6 (new series) of 11 Bygones," by Messrs Woodall, Minshall, & Co., Wrexham. The volume contains between five and six hundred pages in paper binding, and has as frontispiece a picture of the Powys Eisteddfod of 1824. It is seldom one meets with so varied and interesticg a collection of Welsh antiquities, including old record?, forgotten customs, superstitions, pedigrees, ancient MSS, proverbs, &c. Apart from their interest to the ordinary reader, many of the notes and articles will be serviceable to future historians of Wales. The publishers deserve the thanks of all patriotic Cymry for helping to preserve so much of our past, which would otherwise, probably, sink into oblivion and never be recovered. The editor acknow- ledges to have received great help from Mr Egerton Phillimore. Y CYMMRODOR" (Cymmroiorion Society, New Stone Buildings, 64, Chancery Lane). -The last pub- lished number of the magazine of the Hon. Society of Cymmrodorion gives the first place to an article by that distinguished Pembrokeshire savant, Dr Henry Owen, on English Law in Wales and the Marches." It might be thought that the subject was a dry one for lay readers, but any kind of literary feat is possible where the author of "Gerald the Welshman" is concerned, and in fact this bng artiole will be found very pleasant reading for every fairly educated man and woman in the Principality. Mr A. N. Palmar writes a paper on the Broughton family as a Contribution to the History of the Parish of Marchwiel." The Rev Baring-Gould gives us a good paper on II The Life Of St. Cybi," from two Cottonian MSS of the 13th century, both appar- ently translations from a Welsh original. Both make St. Cybi a Cornishman by birth, and state that he founded in that county the religious houses of Duloe and Tregony, having afterwards migrated to Wales with ten of his disciples. The whole story cannot be given here, but the article, it may be said, contains useful criticisms, enabling readers to correct several popular errors aad anachronisms. Professor Kuno Meyer gives an old Irish version (with translation) of that somewhat obscure event in Irish history, known as the "Expulsion of the Dessi," and minor papers are contributed by the Rev J. B. Davies. Nothing in the present number, however, is of so much general interest as the paper by Mr J. Arthur Price, entitled "Side Lights on Welsh Jacobitism. It is plain the Welsh aristocracy (headed by Sir Watkyn Wynn and the Duke of Beaufort), as well as the bards, were for Prince Charlie. The sketch of David Morgan, the Jacobite poetical lawyer (as Walpole called him), j is as striking as it is pathetic. He was of the same stuck as the Tredegar family.
T I ;.; COST OF THE NAVY.
T I COST OF THE NAVY. T6HMATE3 EXPLAINED BY MR. ARNOLD-FORSTMfc The annual statement in explanation of the navy fst,in""e3 was made on Monday in the House of (■oiiiinons !>y Mr. Arnold-Forster, Parliamentary SeoreUry to the Admiralty, who paid, in the opening spn-enres of his speech, a warm tribute to the sirvi es of Lord Goschen, who had, he said, when First Lord of the Admiralty, gained the full confidence of the naval service. Describing the object which he set before himself in elucidating the memoeandum issued by Lord Seil.'orne, he said he wished to show that value would be obtained for the large sum which Parlia- ment, was asked to vote. The money, he stated, emphatically, would be used to increase the strength of the Navy, which was already highly efficient. Quite recent ly our sean:en had performed excellent service in Africa and China, where they had been assistc.1: by an Australian contingent that had done admirable work. Some day, he hoped, Australia's example would be followed by Canada. The financial demand made upon the House for the year 1901-1902 was unprecedented, but would be granted ungrudgingly, The Admiralty asked for E30,875,676, as compared with £:8,61 ,000 last year, a net increase of £ ^,183,776. There was an increase of £ 233,000 for the personnel and an addition of ;91,436,700 for the construction of ships and kindred services. including guns. In the personnel there would be an addit ion of 287 officers, 1150 seamen, 1000 marines, 500 stokers, and 100 electricians. The net result would be that the Admiralty would have available for manning the Fleet in case of war 118,625 men upon the Active List, 28,650 men in the Royal Is aval Reserve, and 7300 in the Royal Fleet Reserve, or a total of 154,575 men. With regard to the Royal Naval Reserve, he said it had been proved that the conditions of the service were not sufficiently attrac- tive, and the Admiralty had taken steps to meet the difficulty by improving the terms offered to the men. The period of sea service bad been reduced and a gratuity was to be given. Thus it was hoped that the efficiency of the Reserve would be restored and its numbers increased. As to the Royal Fleet Reserve, it was to be composed of trained men. It would con- sist of the seamen pensioners' reserve, and of mert of 12 years' standing, or of less than 12 years' stand- ing if the Commander-in-Chief on the station ap-, proved. For the future all seamen pensioners would be required to join the Fleet Reserve. It was hoped to raise the number of the men from 7000 to 15,000. Other ratings were also being added to the navy, and the position of warrant officers was being carefully considered. The electricians would be passed after examination into the navy, and it was hoped they would be a valuable addition to the staffs of torpedo-boat lieutenants. They would rate I as chief petty officers. As to the position of engi- neers in the navy, the subject was too wide and important for him to deal with on that occasion. The question was a very difficult one, and the diffi- culty was felt in the United States and other coun- tries as well as here. With regard to the garrisons of the coaling stations, he referred to Mr. Brodrick's statement on the subject, and stated that the pro, posal of the Secretary for War had yet to receive the sanction of the Admiralty, who felt bound to, consider whether they could effectively contribut& to the service of the country by taking over the coaling stations. It was a very grave proposal which they must have more time to consider- As to the training of the executive officers, a report had been laid on the table of the House which con- tained valuable suggestions. Turning to the question of materiel, he drew attention to the vote for guns, which showed an increase of 9161,000, and stated that now the delivery of guns would continue with absolute regularity, and that there was to be a new gun which would be equal, if not superior, to any gun in the navy of any foreign Power. The Ad- miralty was now in a position to snpply the Fleet with armour-piercing projectiles, and the adoption of a new powder was under the consideration of the Explosives Committee. It was hoped that this powder would be less destructive to the tubes of our guns. The amount of ammunition for gunnery training-ships would be increased, and steps were being taken to render our coaling arrangements throughout the world adequate to the growing needs of the navy. He announced that 16 obsolete vessels had been struck off the list of effective ships. A certain number of ships with muzzle-leading guns, however, remained on the list, and must do so until they could be replaced. For construction 99,000,000 was put down, which was the largest sum ever de- voted to this purpose in one year. Thei Admiralty bad completed, or commenced, or asked authority to commence since the completion of the Majestic class 23 battleships. Of these, five were built, and authority was being sought to commence three more. Since the completion of the Diadem class the Admiralty had commenced, or asked autho- rity to commence, 30 cruisers, of which the majority were armovired, and many of them would be avail- able at an early date. Commenting on the delays in construction, he said he believed the causes of delay were diminishing and would pass away, for the plant of the armour makers had now been greatly in- creased. The delays in the delivery of machinery were largely due to the engineer's strike, for since that strike not one ship had been completed within the contract time. The arrears were deplorable, but their amount had been exaggerated, and as a matter of fact we still maintained our pre-eminence in regard to the rapidity of construction. The only Power that approached us was Germany. The Admiralty were taking steps to prevent arrears, and had appointed a Committee to inquire fully into the question. The year's programme of construction included three battleships, six first-class armoured cruisers, two third-class cruisers, ten destroyers, five torpedo- bonts, and five submarine vessels. All these would he commenced. He was glad that submarine boats were to be built, because it was necessary to gain a practical experience of these vessels. With regard to the subject of water-tube boilers, which was agi- tating the minds of many people, he said the only satisfactory solution of the question would be one that gave absolute security to the Fleet. He did not blame those who were responsible for the introduction of these boilers into the navy. In fact, the Com- mittee ret-ently appointed endorsed the opinion that water-tube boilers ought to be used. The Committee, whose impartiality and competence could not be questioned, had in an interim report condemned the Belleville boiler, whilst it had not committed itself to approval'of any of the alternative boilers. That, left the Admiralty in a difficult position. Further ex- periments were to be made, and it was hoped they would not cause great delay. For his part., lie did not think there need be such delay, for there were two kinds of boilers which might be found service- able. He asked the House not to entertain any exaggerated notions as to the danger of these boilers, for scores of ships, both ireii-of-war and merchant vessels, were fitted with them and were making very satisfactory voyages. The Admiralty intended to make the change which the Committee had recom- mended, and to make it retrospective if that could be done without delaying unduly the completion of ships under construction but they could not con- sent to weaken the Fleet in order to comply with what they imagined was an exaggerated and fanciful view of the situation. He submitted the Estimates to the House in the confident assurance that they would be sanctioned readily, as the nation was deter- mined that the navy should be able to protect this country effectually. The discussion of the subject was deferred on the motion of Mr. Balfour.
FROM DRAPER'S CLERK TO JUDGE.
FROM DRAPER'S CLERK TO JUDGE. Judgo Willis, lecturing at Wisbech, on "My Per- sonal Reminiscences," told a large audience that instead of being reared in the lap of luxury, and sent to Oxford or Cambridge, as some people imagined, he had passed six years in business before he was 21 years of age, doing every kind of work that came within his daily calling. In a basement he had entered ESOOO worth of bonnets, hats, and ribbons in one day, and for nights in succession heard the bells of St. Paul's strike twelve as he turned out to walk three miles to his house. On leaving school at 15, he studied Latin and Greek, and afterwards matriculated in London University in the first division. A year later, in 1858, he passed into the Inner Temple, and began the study of law. With the exception of £100 a year he received for his maintenance and for books, his education for the law cost about £10, as they could attend all the best lectures at the Inner Temple for £ 5 per annum. He secured his B.A. degree in 1859, and in the next year, having read law day and night without anyone to help him, he came out in the examination first.
EXPLOSION ON A LINER.
EXPLOSION ON A LINER. A fatal accident has occurred on the American Line steamship New York, An ammonia tank con- nected with the refrigerating plant exploded. Three men were injured, two of whom died subsequently. The explosion occurred in the after steerage shelter deck. The steerage compartment was filled with fumes, which also entered the second cabin, many persons being affected. One passenger says that 26 were overcome, and another places the number at 30. A medical examination of 20 of the steerage pas- sengers affected by the escape of ammonia on board the New York shows that nine of them have been so badly injured by the fumes as to warrant thei admittance to hospital. The New York is going t< PhiHd^lpVa to repair.
