HOW TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY . A successful meeting in connection with the National Service League was held on Tuesday evening in the Reading Room , Good- rich , when there was a good attendance . Mr. W. B , Pilkington occupied the chair , and Mr. E. P. Baily , organising secretary for Herefordshire , was the speaker . The idea of the meeting was to discuss Lord Roberts ' proposal for universal Territorial training . The Chairman , in introducing the speaker , said that he was sure they all knew some- thing about Lord Roberts ' scheme of com- pulsory service , and they were fortunate in having a gentleman there who would explain to them fully what National Service meant . The speaker went on to say that surely every true - minded Englishman must feel that a powerful home defence was absolutely neces- sary to the welfare of England . Great soldiers told us that our home defences were not , at present , adequate , and he ( the speaker ) , for one , would rather take the opinion of soldiers on this point than that of those who were not soldiers . The principals of the National Service League were these : - 1. That it is the duty of every able - bodied men , high or low , rich or poor , to defend his country in case of National danger . 2. That to perform this duty efficiently , he must be trained in time of peace . Can anybody disagree with these princi- pals as laid down by Lord Roberts ? Every patriotic Englishman would surely be ready to sacrifice a good deal , were sacri- fice necessary , could he rest assured that , come what might , his home , with its belong- ings and surroundings , would be safe . Lord Roberts , continued the speaker , told us that under this scheme of systematic training we would always have an adequate force at hand , available at any moment , use- ful under arms , and quite competent to de- fend , if the occasion should ever arise , his home and belongings , and the homes and be- longings of his comrades serving their coun- try , possibly abroad ( hear hear ) . He would now call upon Mr. Baily to address them ( hear , hear ) . Mr. E. P. Baily , addressing the gathering , said he was glad he was able to speak as a man who knew something about what he was talking . He was there to discuss Lord Roberts ' scheme , and to do away with the various hogeys which the opposition set up .. In the first place , he wished to say that politics had nothing whatever to do with the National Service League , and when a man joined the League he was not asked to which political party he belonged . " Politics , " said the speaker , " can go hang . " Lord Roberts was appealing to the people to join the scheme . The only chance was to avoid politics if they wanted to hear something the speaker , " going to allow this to become the ROSS - ON - WYE Prince hear , hear ) . Some people , continued the speaker , thought it very wicked to train the young men of the country to shoot down their fellow men . A recruit would only be called upon to shoot down those who dared to invade these shores . In a recent address , Mr. Snowden had found it impossible to find League ( hear , hear ) . a single mistake in the National Service We are asked to Roberts not only had common - sense , but also listen to men of common - sense , but Lord Henry of Battenberg had said that there personal experience ( hear , hear ) . could be no more foolish and mischievous statement than to say that British invasion realise that we depend largely upon the was impossible ( hear , hear ) . We must also ability of our land forces ( hear , hear ) . Until the young men knew how to defend their homes they were of little use ( hear , hear ) . Young men at present would not join the National Service League because they were afraid of losing their employment . If , how- ever , National Service was made compul- sory by Act of Parliament , their positions would be kept open for them while they were training ( hear , hear ) . National Service was a democratic proposal ( hear , hear ) , In Aus- tralia , Switzerland , and Africa they had uni- versal training , but they were not paid so much as the English recruit would be paid . Some people said that a soldier's morals were bad , but he ( the speaker ) , for one , could say that a soldier's morals were as good as any- one's ( hear , hear , and applause ) . In con- clusion , the speaker said some great German officers had said that the only way to prevent war between England and Germany was to adopt Lord Roberts ' principle ( applause ) . answered .

In an interesting leaflet , No. 278 , just issued , the Board of Agriculture thus sum- marises the advantages derived from the purchased at present prices on the open growing of linseed : As a food for stock it can be grown more cheaply than it can be market . a dry early season it can be removed in time per lb. retail ; and 1s . 8d . per 1b . wholesale . to allow of a catch crop being taken . are It grows on a large range of soils of vary ing fertility . Those best suited to its culture are deep , moist , medium loams which well drained and in . a good condition of fertility , overlying rather heavy , compact sub - soils . It is sown from April to the mid- dle of May ; perhaps the beginning of May is the best time . Either broadcasting or drill- ing may be practised . The seed , being flat and smooth , runs readily from between the fingers , and care is required to give a uni- form distribution . When the seed is drilled an ordinary corn drill may be used , the coulters being set about eight inches apart . For seed production a satisfactory plant " will be obtained on tilthy land by broadcast- ing 70 to 80lb . or drilling 40 to 60lb . per acre . Thicker seeding is practised for fibre production , as much as three bushels ( 150lb . ) per acre being sown in some districts . # TWO SHETLAND BREEDS . " It is a very satisfactory sign of the times that stock is being taken of our various local breeds with petuating their distinctive characteristics and of improving them to meet modern requirements . From Shetland , whose wonderful little ponies have come in a few years to be world famous , there is news of increased interest in the local breeds of cattle and sheep . The sheep have lately shown signs of deterioration through overcrowding and unregularised in breeding , and while the need of outcrosses is evident , the problem is how to bring about improvement without sacrificing any of the far- famed fineness and general quality of the wool , As regards the cattle , it is announced that they are to receive recognition in the list of pure - bed cattle by the Highland and Agri- cultural Society at their Show at Hawick this year . Shetland cattle are a hardy breed , living under somewhat rigorous conditions When full - grown the cows are , like the Shet land ponies , of a sturdy , chubby form of build . In the yellowness of their skin they the objecte primarily of per- somewhat resemble the Channel Island cattle . Their milk is rich in butter - fat . The erofters or smallholders who breed the cows let them run on the hillsides , housing them at night in winter , The original Shet- lands have been crossed with Polled Angus , Shorthorn , and Ayrshire bulls , which crosses have increased the size of the animals and also the quantity of milk given ; 400 to 450 gallons per year would be a good average . the present time an effort is being made to percentage of butter - fat , and the Council of the Shetland Cattle Herd Book Society are pressing for the institution of a Milk Records Committee . At CATTLE . supply of cattle and sheep at this market , Ross , Thursday . There was an excellent and with such a good company of buyers and dealers present trade showed an improve- ment . The supply of cattle was exception- ally good and best qualities realised from £ 20 to £ 25 each . Other entries made from £ 12 to £ 17 . The sheep trade was also very good at prices , slightly above those at the last market . Pigs were a moderate supply , and prices still remained very firm . There were only a few calves on offer . and they were quickly disposed of at satisfactory prices . CORN . Ross , Thursday . Good white oats fit for seed commanded a good price .

Wheat , 8s . to deceased chief was heed of the Blood band of SPORT OF POLITICIANS . It is a far too serious question for that . It is the lives of all young men that we are deal- ing with the building up of a new nation . " As regarded the bogeys which were set up , the opposition said that the National Service League sneered and scoffed at the Territorial movement . This was quite wrong , as the League had a great deal to do with the Territorial Force . As proof of this the speaker said that in Lancashire 86 Territorial officers out of a 100 were members of the It National Service League ( hear , hear ) . was , declared the speaker , utter nonsense to Say the League was against the Territorials . Again , Lord Haldane had told us that this year the Territorial recruiting was 18,000 more than it had been before . Nearly every official of the Territorial Force was a member of the National Service League ( hear , hear ) . In two years time , declared the speaker , they would double the Territorial Force . It was the duty of every man to be able to defend his hearth and home in case of an invasion ( hear , hear ) . The speaker then went on to show the advantages of the National Service League , and said that members of the League would not be forced to serve abroad in time A Kagoshima despatch states that there was night , which caused many of the inhabitants once again to flee the town . Normal condi- tions are being restored as quickly as pos- sible . Missing refugees are returning in very large numbers , and it is now believed that the numbers of those who perished will be much smaller than was at first feared . The steamers Katsuyama - maru and Nanetsu - maru are re- ported to be missing . The Japanese Embassy has furnished an official report regarding the eruption of Sakurashima , which says that of about 8,500 houses in the Island of Sakurashima nearly a half were destroyed by fire in consequence of the recent eruption , and the inhabitants took flight by boat to the mainland . The list of casualties is not yet to hand , but it is not believed to be very heavy . According to a re- port , it is estimated at 200. The volcanic activity still continues unabated , but the The city of earth tremors have subsided . Kagoshima , lying opposite the island , has been subjected to showers of ashes and to earthquakes . The whole town is practically deserted . The casualty roll shows twenty- four killed and wounded , and nearly all build- ings were more or less damaged .

Secondly , it would Press reports were much exaggerated . being investigated , but it appears that earlier make no difference to one's employment , as a man's job would be kept open for him when he went training . There would be four months ' recruit training in the first year , and for the following three years a member would receive a fortnight's training . The training would only be compulsory for youths between the ages of 14 and 18 years . The training would be a sort of cadet training , the same as was at present in vogue in some public schools . A recruit would be taught how to use and handle a rifle , and shooting ranges would be erected , and while in train- ing a recruit would be clothed , housed , kept , and be paid 5s . 6d . per week for pocket money . The speaker referred to the political speeches of those who were against the League , and said that there was not one single member of the present Government who dared to say that this country was not in danger of invasion . Neither would they dare to say that the Territorial Force , at present , was capable of resisting that invas- ion ( hear , hear ) . We must not neglect our land forces , and those were the words of Col. Seely himself . The speaker went on to say that invasion would only take place when the Regular Army was away on service . The Territorial Force was not trained to resist in- vasion . At present the Territorial Force was 65,000 men short of what was required . Again , 35,000 of them had not so much as put in an appearance at camp training . There were nothing like enough Territorials at present . What they intended to do in case of invasion was to mobilise the Terri- torials , and give them six months ' war train- ing , while all the time the invaders were making rapid progress . It was , therefore , continued the speaker , essential to have some preliminary training . It was impossible to find a single fault with the National Service League . AGAINST CONSCRIPTION . THE KIKUYU QUARREL . William Cooke , who was employed by Mr. Wyndham Smith , of Aramstone , said he as- sisted with the pheasants , and on the morn- ing of December 27th he was at Hollybough Wood between seven and eight . He saw the walked down the road towards them . Albert Bishop was carving a gun , and lifted the gun to his shoulder and fired two shots into the wood . He went into the wood and picked up the dead bird which was warm and bleeding . He took the bird to the keeper . The three brothers were going away that morning .

Piper , alias Donald Stuart , who at the previous sitting of the Court , was charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel , valued at £ 18 , the property of Major Dixon , from Treago Castle , St. Weonards , on October 6th last , was placed in the dock on a charge of bigamy . Mr. Morling ( the Clerk ) inquired of Supt . Broad if he intended proceeding with the case , and the Superintendent said he had been unable to get the witnesses to come for- ward , and therefore that charge could not be proceeded with . Mr. Bankes , one of the Magistrates who heard the previous case . then informed pris- oner that he wonld be committed to the Assizes at Hereford on the charges of theft . MOTOR CYCLES AND CUT - OUT . eight items , viz . , fresh beef , total dead meat , eggs , margarine , condensed milk , net wool , net hides , and tomatoes , exceeded in the total of their imports all previous records . Wheat and flour fell slightly below the re- cord of 1912 , while other kinds of grain did not approach the quantities of more or less distant years . Imports of cattle and sheep have shrunk to quite insignificant propor- tions . For the former we have to go back twenty - three years to find the maximum , and for the latter thirty - one years . Pigs for many years have been represented by a blank in the list of imports , their maximum having been the receipts of forty - eight years ago . There was an increase of nearly 2,000,000awt . of fresh ( including refrigerated ) beef over the quantity for 1912 , while mutton has not quite recovered from the decrease after 1910. Pigs meat of all classes is among the imports which have fallen much below those of more or less distant years . The total of dead meat , however , mainly on account of the great in- crease in beef , stands for 1918 no less than 1,707,400cwt over the previous maximum of 1911 . NICE DISHES .
