Yours respectfully , on behalf of the Committee , GEORGE PAYNE . THE MAN OF ROSS . THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . -The following particulars of John the Man of Ross . " culled from an . agazine published in 1832. in my pos- n . may be interesting to some of that y's present - day descendants , and also nr readers generally . For this reason induced to send them to you . an Kerle was descended from a highly- table family , and was born at Dymock , loucestershire , on his father's estate . grandfather married a sister of Waller , poet , whose mother was sister of John nden . He was a gentleman commoner Balliol College , Oxford , to which he pre- ed , a handsome silver tankard on his ad- ion his father had purchased a house a few acres of land at Ross , where Mr. he chose to reside , adding to his property repeated purchases made after his fall- in Demock Wood . The principal addi- to his landed property was an estate the Clere , skirting the left bank of river Wre , hnt raised considerably above level . Here Mr. Krrle made a public which still hears his name , and planted ith elms Mr. Kyrle's income has been tr accurately stated at £ 500 a rear . and le improving his own property he freely artel to his townsmen the advantages h he had provided for their enjoyment the lorely scenery around . He planted churchyard with elms , and a gate was ted by him lending to a field called " The spect . In times when the art of con- ing water by pipes for the accommodation wellers in towns was vet in its infancy , Kyrle made in this field an oval basin considerable size , lined it with brick , and ed it with stone , and cansed the water The forced into it by an engine from the er , and conveyed thence by underground es to the public cocks in the streets . en n more effective supply was subse- ntly introduced , the basin was filled up . causeway crossing the low ground be- en the town and the bridge on the high to Hereford and Monmonth was also striteted through the exertions of Mr. le . the elegant church spire which ornaments landscape from whatever point it , be wed was at one time in a dangerous state , ch Mr. Kyrle's . knowledge of architec- e led him to discover and also to bring at its speeds restoration . The great bell given by Mr. Kvrle , who attended when was at Gloucester ( Rudhales ? ) , and then throw into the melting - pot his own ga silver tankard , having first drank his Fourite coast of Church and King . " The tributon of the weekly read at the Mar- House is also of neculiar interest in the of Kerle . This donation of bread was nished by a grant renewed by successive ds of the manor of certain tolls of all nough to market . The Man of Ross ed as lords almoner . At length the toll untarily transferred to the poor at the of each succeeding lord was claimed by townsmen as theirs of right . The ques- n was referred to the Man of Ross by sent , of both parties , and he , preferring ath and justice before popularity and self- atification , determined as the evidence nelled him , that the toll belonged to the ord . One anecdote of Mr. Kyrle exhibits that ble confidence which none but an honest . an can feel or express about his fellow en . About a rear after the death of the an of Ross , a tradesman of the town came his xenter and said privately to him . Sir , I am come to pay you some money at I owed to the late Mr. Kyrle . " The ecutor declared that he could find no en- of it in the accounts . " Why , sir , " said e tradesman , " that I am aware of . Mr. yrleisaid to me when he lent me the money at he did not think I should be able to re- it in his lifetime , and that it was likely u might want it before I could make it and so I won't have any memorandum it , and do yan pay my kinsman - when you n , and when you show him this paper he I see that the money is right , and that he not to take interest . " The Man of Ross ed a bachelor . At the time of his decease owed nothing , and there was no money his house . There are further interesting particulars of he life of this worthy gentleman , simple in anners , life , and dress , faithful to his God nd conscience , and confided in as a friend all , but I forbear to further encroach on our space . Your obedient servant , Newent . Gloucester , 21st July , 1914 . JAMES DOUGLAS . THE STATE OF THE WYE . To THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette . SIR . 1 have made some enquiries and arn that about 50 salmon have been found ead from Hay to Hereford , a large number , at unstated , thence down to Ross , and bout 50 from that point to the New Weir , nce the river has fallen to summer level . his represents 150 fish dead , a greater num- er than I have ever heard reported in a ason previously . I have , written to the oard of Agriculture and Fisheries , and to e Fishmongers ' Company to the above fect . Obviously the preservation of the middle ngth of the Wre has been overdone , and has become absolutely necessary to re- troduce the use of the beating net immed- tely the water falls low in summer . Of course , the Board of Conservators are erfectly well aware of what is happening , ad no false pride must stand in the way the obvious remedy being applied . I wonder when Lord Lincolnshire sanction- the sweeping bye - laws of a few years ago , had any conception what the effect would I expect no more practical knowledge an a child - I am , yours , etc. , 15.

No breed has been so successful as this in recent years at the leading fat stock shows , and none gives a higher percentage of carcase in proportion to live weight . It is not surpris ing therefore , that the black - polled breed enjoys such a great reputation in many parts of the world , and especially in Canada and the United States . In the Argentine also , where hitherto the Shorthorn has been almost supreme , it is rapidly making headway , and there was never greater interest in the valuable economic qualities of the breed , A trophy is contri- buted from this country by the breed society for competition at the great national show in the Republic , and having been won outright , is to be followed by the offer of another . At the recent thirty - fifth annual general meeting of the Aberdeen - Angus Cattle Society was mentioned that the society's member- ship had been increased by forty - two , and that they had received Royal patronage , the Prince of Wales having joined the society . Their finances were in a very satisfactory condition , and entries in the society's " Herd Book were practically 3,700 , which was the largest in the history of the society , the next largest being in Vol . 27 , when there were 8,358 entries . The export certificates were very satisfactory ; last year they were 148 , com- pared with 131 in the previous year . Although last year the exports continued to be relatively few on account of the restrictions , the hope was expressed that in a short time these re- strictions would be removed , and that the pro- sperity to which breeders had been looking forward might become a matter of fact . AN ACTIVE FERTILISER . I notice with interest that nitrate of am- monis , as an artificial manure , was tried on the Royal Agricultural Society's experimental farm at Woburn last season , against nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia . When em- ployed as a top - dressing on wheat , the quan- tities of these manures were so regulated as to supply 30lb . of ammonia per acre , for which only 71lb . of the new manure was required , as compared with 1191b . of sulphate of ammonia and 1531b . of nitrate of soda . The yield of wheat was about a bushel per acre more where the new manure was applied than where nitrate of soda was used , though the bulk of straw was smaller , and sulphate of ammonia gave about one and a - half bushel of wheat less than nitrate of soda . The advan- tage of using nitrate of ammonia depends , of course , upon its price , as compared with the prices of nitrate of soda and sulphate of am- monia . The fact that its price is normally very high explains why it is not used as a fertiliser though its value for the purpose has long been appreciated . Its effect on vegetation is 80 strong that a difference will be noticed in three days if plants are watered with a gallon of water containing only half an ounce of the salt . It is a pity it cannot be more cheaply produced . It is , I believe , a good deal used in the manufacture of explosives , but is also of great importance as the usual source of the anaesthetic gas ( nitrous oxide ) , which is ad- ministered by dentists . It gives off this gas on being heated . • • INSTRUCTING FARM LADS . A small but important experiment was tried last winter in Kent , twenty farm lads between sixteen and twenty years of age being given a month's instruction in various finds of practical farm work . The results were thoroughly satisfactory , and the experi- ment is to be repeated next winter . A very interesting account of it is given in the cur- THI 08 & REGR The High - Class Grocers .
