Mr. SCUDAMORE : That is so , but I know it would be no use . The CHAIRMAN : I don't think we can do anything else but go on with the work now . Mr. FREER said the work would have to INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND ISOLATION . be done as far as he could see , and the only thing was that this Council should take up the work and push it forward in a business- like manner . LLANGARRON WATER : SCHEME . LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD CRITICISED . This authority met at Union Offices , Ross , on Thursday last , when Ald . T. Preece , J.P. , presided , with Mr. J. Murdoch in the vice- chair . The other members present were Capt . T. Raymond Symons , Mr. F. Cooper , Mr. F. S. Collins , Mr. J. T. Stone , Mr. G. W. Jones , Mr. T. A. Lock , Mr. J. W. Robin- son , Mr. J. Day , Mr. A. G. Evans , Mr. J. Grundy , Mr. A. Herbert , Mr. A. Gwillim , Mr. W. Lloyd , Mr. H. Hone , Mr. H. H. Child , Mr. F. Gibson Fry , Mr. E. W. Pre- vost , Mr. C. A. Scudamore , Mr. C. Freer , Mr. A. W. Foster , Mr. D. A. Meredith , with Mr. J. Fred . Arnold ( Clerk ) , Mr. F. Rick- etts ( Sanitary Inspector ) , Mr. J. Lewis and Mr. A. B. Farr ( Surveyors ) . The MEDICAL OFFICER reported that the Walford Schools . MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT . during the last two months , 14 cases of scar- let fever had been notified to him , and one case of measles . The majority of these cases had occurred in the Walford district , and he deemed it necessary in consequence to close All the cases were of a mild type , and such isolation as was pos- sible in the cottages where cases had occurr- ed had been affected . Three cases of scarlet fever had occurred in the Urban District of Ross in a house where isolation was impos- sible , and therefore after consultation with the Clerk , and with the consent of the Chair- man , he ( the doctor ) had the patients re- moved to the isolation cottage at Drybrook , the Urban Council of course , being respon- sible for all the charges . The CLERK then read a letter from the County Council , which stated that the Rural Council would hear in mind that under sec- tion nine of the Isolation Hospitals Act , 1893 , it would become the duty of the com- mittee to direct that a hospital should he established for any district in which con- siderable arrangements have not been made by June 1st next . The CHAIRMAN said the Council had al- ready done that . Mr. PREVOST moved the adoption of the report , which was seconded by Mr. MUR- DOCH and carried . LLANGARRON WATER SCHEME . The CLERK read the following letter from an assistant Secretary of the Local Government Board in reference to the pro- posed extension of the Llangarron Water Scheme : - Sir , I am directed by the Local Govern- ment Board to advert to your letter of the 11th ultimo . with reference to the water supply of the Parish of Llangarron , in the Rural District of Ross , and state that , in the special circumstances of this case , the Board will not insist on the proposed mains heing laid with more than 2 feet 6 inches of cover , but it must be understood that no loan can be sanctioned to replace mains which may he fractured or burst in conse- quence of insufficient cover . The Board should now be furnished with a detailed esti- mate in the enclosed form of the cost of the proposed works and with a copy of a resolu- tion of the Rural District Council applying for sanction to borrow the amount required over and above the sum of £ 700 previously applied for . Continuing , the CLERK said that Mr. Blake had sent a letter giving the revised estimates as requested . After the minute of the Council of May 2nd . 1912. had been rescinded , that minute having reference to the borrowing of a sum not exceeding £ 700 for the purpose of carry- ing out the necessary extensions to the Water Works at Llangarron , the CHAIRMAN said he thought it would be much better if one of the members of the parish would move the next resolution . Mr. SCUDAMORE ( Llangarron ) said he very strongly objected to them having to bor- row more money . It seemed to him to he absurd when their local engineer had brought forward a scheme and said it could be carried out for the sum of £ 700 , and in that scheme he proposed to take the supply of water to places where water was required . Why could not that have been done ? Instead of that , down comes a Local Government Board Inspector with a piece of tape , which was very decidedly red , and caused them to spend £ 900 where £ 700 would do . The CLERK : They won't grant a loan for the £ 700 . a Mr. MURDOCH then proposed the follow- ing resolution : " To authorise the Clerk to make application to the Local Government Board for their sanction to the borrowing of a sum not exceeding £ 900 for the purpose of carrying out the proposed extensions to the Water Works at Llangarron , in accordance with the revised estimates as prepared by the Council's engineer . " Mr. FREER seconded , and it was carried . LETTER FROM MR . CADDICK . The CLERK read the following letter with reference to an obstruction on the Common at Sellack : - Mr. Will Rudge was appointed secretary pro tem . , during the illness of his brother , which duties he promised to undertake . vided under the scheme . B THURSDAY , AGRICULTURAL NOTES . BY A PRACTICAL FARMER JANUARY 29 , 1914 NITROGENOUS MANURES . These were very dear at this time last year , but this spring , fortunately for the con- eumer , considerably lower prices may be ex- pected to rule on account of increased pro- duotion and the plentiful supplies in hand , though the demand is certain to be greater . During the last five years the increase in the world's consumption of nitroged from nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia amounts to about 50 per cent , the increase in the con- sumption of nitrate being about 40 per cent . , and of sulphate of ammonia about 70 per cent . In 1908 about 62 per cent . of the nitro- gen was supplied by nitrate of soda and 38 per cent . by sulphate of ammonia , taking into account the relative unit values , and in 1913 , it is estimated that about 55 per cent . was supplied by nitrate of soda , 40 per cent . by sulphate of ammonia , and 5 per cent . by nitrogen extracted from the atmosphere . Further progress is reported in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen , but as the total pro- duction of these products during the past year only represented about 5 per cent . of the total production of nitrogen from nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia , they can not be regarded as of great importance . While a further increase in their production is probable during the next few years , it is unlikely that such will be more than sufficient to cope with the ever - increasing demands for nitrogenous fertilisers . AGRIC " . The governors of milk under the conditions and of the quality and purity required by the Association of American Medical Milk Commissions , and good results were obtained The experiment was carried out at the farm of Mr. Wilfred Buckley , near Basing stoke , after the premises had been adapted to the production of milk under hygienia conditions . The first bacterial counts which were made varied between 35,000 and 70,000 bacteria per e.c .; but the chief cause of this was traced to the use of open pails for milk- ing . Partially - covered pails were introduced , and the number of bacteria was reduced at once to less than 10. ) . So far as the cost to the consumer of certifled milk is con- cerned , it is suggested that a milk guaran- teed of high quality and bacterial purity d free from tubercle bacilli is available at a price of not more than Bd . per quart . Many people would willingly pay this price for a guaranteed milk , for the danger to children through impure milk is now gener ally recognised . CANADIAN NOTES . ( T ... TR OWN COBRESPOND . MONTREAL , Janus The New York clergyman who in ed Spooning Parlours " where the young en and women of his congregation who had no- where else to go could meet and talk under comfortable conditions , has found an imitator here . The committee of members of the First Baptist Church of Montreal have started a Girls ' Scial Club on rather novel lines for the beneßt of those members of the congregation who are in the city with few or no friends , and with no home other than a somewhat chilly , inhospitable boarding - house .

Fifty cents ( 2. ) is the annual subscription for membership . Young men are admitted on the same terms , but are not allowed to vote - a disability , however , which has not as yet given rise to any suffragist movement among the male members . I mention this club because its membership is very largely composed of old country girls who have gone out alone and are fighting their way in Canada . It is a very exellent scheme which it is hoped will be ini- tated in other Canadian towns where loneliness . is often practically the only real difficulty the immigrant has to face .

A letter was read from the Walford Parish Council concerning the bad state of the foot- path by the side of the main road , between Coughton Cross and Bishopswood , and on Mr. Lewis stating that the matter was having attention , the Clerk was instructed to write a letter in reply to that effect . The County Surveyor wrote stating that .there would be no alteration in the procedure of the maintenance of the main roads during the year 1914-15 . For Cakes , Pastry , Puddings & Pies . BORWICK'S BAKING POWDER . FATAL FLIGHT AT HENDON . MR . G. LEE TEMPLE'S NECK BROKEN . Mr. George Lee Temple , the well - known airman , met with a fatal accident while mak- ing an exhibition flight at the London aero- drome , Hendon , on Sunday afternoon .

The accounts of the accident differ asking for this scheme to he carried out for somewhat , but it seems sum of £ 700 , which would make the scheme self - supporting , and which 90 per cent . of the ratepayers of the parish were agreed to , yet the Local Government Board won't sanction it . and want them to spend an extra £ 200 .

Tavlor ( Ever- stone ) , and Mr. E. Bellamy ( Fawley ) were appointed to act as the selection committee , and those gentlemen promised to act . Several applications had been received from owners of horses , and the CHAIRMAN re- marked that there would have to be a sign- ed nomination with each horse . Mr. JONES also stated , in reply to a ques- tion , that the selection committee would no doubt try to inspect as many of the owners and horses on the one day or one journey as they possibly could to avoid expense , and when they had done their inspection they would bring their recommendation to the Executive Committee hefore the final ap- pointment was made ( hear . hear ) . It was also usual said Mr. Jones , for the owner of the horse to pay all the expenses , but there was always a strong objection to these horses standing at public houses , they much pre- ferred farm houses .

The CHAIRMAN suggested to Mr. Scuda- more that he should move that the matter . he adjourned , or else they must vote upon this resolution . The CLERK said the matter could not be adjourned , for the Local Government Board had modified the scheme on the grounds that the Council said they were prepared to carry out the work . Mr. SCUDAMORE said he did not went it to go forward from that Board that he , as representing 90 per cent . of the parish- ioners and ratepayers , was in agreement with borrowing this extra £ 200 , and he supposed they must pay and object .

Pearling is carried on extensively in Austra lian waters . The diver is not always fortunate in the price he gets or in the use to which he devotes the proceeds , A West Australian pearl marketed for £ 10,000 brought the fisherman only £ 10 ; another , about the size of a pigeon's egg , and on first examination reported to be a wonder of the pearl world , was lost , says a writer in Chambers's Journal , and the fisher and his friends are unable to say what has become of it . The most important pearl fisheries are on the north - west and north - east of the Continent , and the rise and fall of workings would , if re- corded , resemble a weather chart of a variable On the north - west side the business is season . principally in the hands of white men ; on the north - east it is nominally carried on by whites , but in reality by coloured labour . con- im- The Scottish Farm and Poultry Produce Federation ( Limited ) , a marketing agency promoted by the above society , has mensely increased its turnover during the obtained for produce consigned for sale by past year , and satisfactory prices have been societies of small holders .

An interesting correspondence has been taking place between Mr. R. H. Green , Willesborough , Kent , and the Board of Agri- culture on the danger arising from the common practice of keeping young cattle during the winter months upon the accumulated manure in covered yards . This practice constitutes , he contends , a fruitful source of tubercular infection . The Board of Agriculture have of Mr. Green's theory does not lend itself pointed out that , unfortunately , the soundness readily to certain proof by experiment , while the practice condemned is well established . And while the authorities say they cannot take any steps at present they suggest that much good might result from further discussion . In reply , Mr. Green said that although he does not presume to claim that his experi- ments over a series of years were infallible , at the same time he is absolutely certain that the general practice of keeping young cattle upon the accumulated manure of the farm throughout the winter months is a constant and real source of infection . Breeders in different parts of the country , he remarked , have lately consulted their veterinary ad- visers , and in every single case that has been they have brought to Mr. Green's notice He sug wholly supported his contention . gests , as an officia ! form of experiment , that half - a - dozen groups of young cattle should be taken that are free of tuberculosis and housed upon infected feces in covered yards for some months ; at the end of this period let them be re - tested , and have the results published . He believes this would go a very long way towards arousing public interest and prevent ing a common source of infection of young cattle . CERTIFIED MILK . NO INVASION . I see that Mr. Hearst has given up his attemp to break into the newspaper world of London and has killed the London Budget , which was looked upon as the thin end of the very formidable wedge of his newspaper ambition .
