No on# know« the suffering some women quietly

Dosn’s pills gently lieal the tired ovorworked kidneys, and when the kidneys aro well they take oiit th- urinous to i ‘ons which eause the above symptoms as well, as bladder and urinary dis orders, gravil, dropsy, rheumatism, lumbago, aud

disease in any form should be estreraoly grateful to those who are wiling that wo should publish thfir experience in the hope tha*, it may prove
useful to such as have not yet found a cure. Read what Mrs. J. Smith, 39, Waterside-road, Colne, said when describing her case:—“ More than a year ago pains started to trouble me in the amall of my back. Tlioy were shooting pains, and sometimes it felt as if a knife was being thrust into my kidueys. Tho pains grow worse, and I becamoso bad that 1 could hardly get about or hold my.elf up straight, my back was so weak; I folt tired and ill, too. I had headaches, aod a: times went fearfully dizzy. Now and then the kidney secretions troubled me; and I had palpita tion of the heart. “ 1 began to get alarmed at the state I was
getting into, and when I read about Doan’s baok- aclie kidney pills I obtained some to try. I am glad to tell yon that the pills have given me splendid ease; I’ve not had the pains in my Osck since using the pill*, and my healtli altogether has been much better, f Signed) Julia Smith.

SEVERE WEATHER AND LIVESTOCK.
Piobably the health of cattle in England
suffers more from coddling ” than from too gTieat exposure to the tveather. Certainly the aiTtificial conditions of the life of domes-
li
• tic animals predisposes them to pulmonary diseases, and we should probably never have heard of bovine tuberculosis if cafile Itad always been kept in the open air. A friend of the writer’Si residing in a very e_x- .posed locality on the Cornish Coast, in common with his neighbours suffered fre quent losses among his cattle from various forms of lung disease, in- spite of every care
in .keeping them -Slieltoed from the cold tvinds from the Atlantic. At last he tried a bold experiment and left off housing has cattle altogether. They were shorthgnns, andin tvinter grew heavy coats, which seem-
.- ed quite sufficient protection, for he lost no more from pneumonia. _ The late Mr. Daunoey’s herd of Jerseys in Buckingham shire was treated in the same way. Tlwy became perhaps a little too coarse for the fancier’s taste, but were perfectly healthy and very profitable. We believe rn fTesh a,ir but a line must be draam- somewhere,
•and tve should draw it at such a blizzard as that of December 29th, n-hich was probably the most trying day-for cattle in .this coim- try since Januaiy, 1881. They suffered sieverely on that occasion, even in yards with lean-to sheds, and of these sheds we made comfortable temporary shelters *by the sim ple expedient of fixing up hurdles tied to gether and stuffed well with straw_ *em. It must not be forgotten either that in very cold weather more and better food is required to compensate for the loss of
heat in the animal economy. b a r l e y CHAFF AS FOOD FOR

DOGS AND THE GUN. There are signs, not to be mistaken, of
a slightly increased and increasing interest in shooting over dogs and in the work of dogs in the field. For one thing, nve do not Jiow hear the driving shot speak with all thenndisguised scorn that he used to of the shooter who “ shoots ibirds behind ;is they get up,” or “ blows grouse to little pneoes'as -they flutter along the^ heather.” He has found
th.at this form of' the shooting game is not quite the simple and uninter esting matter that he had supposed it, even apart from any added .interest dn seeing the dogs intelligently at work; and -he also ap pears to be growing conscious that there is a considerable monotony about the great
ma.jority lof the driven -shots, al-though there are, of'course, glorious exceptions, and al though the average of the driven shots is ■ more difficult than the average of shots at birds as -they .rise. THE .-VGRICULTURAL HOLDINGS A CT, 1908.
Of 'the Acts of Parliament which came into
operation at the commencement of the year, probably .the most interesting and certaiinly the most impontanl to countrymen, to land lord and tenant alike, is the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908, which gathers onto one enactment proHsions formerly scattered through half-a-dozen earlier statutes, and for the first time .provides landowners and their tenants with .a complete code of the statutory lawe specially relating to agricul tural tenancies.

ELY GRANGE. Ely Grange, the residence of John Wad- GARDEN. VEGETABLE GARDEN. It is time now to make a sowing of
dington, Esq., J.P., (of Waddin^on Old Hall, Waddington), occupies a position that strongly appeals to one by reason of its singular beauty; quite close to Frant, which is some three miles distant from Tun. bridge Wells, and tivo miles or so from Eriidge Castle. Unlike other of the fine seats that cluster around this old village, Ely Grange is distinctly modem, the hand some mansion representing one of the finest types of the residential building of the higher class that found favour in the second half of the Victorian- era, and the grounds have ,been laid out in accordance with the views on the''landscapist’s art that ob tained some itlhd-rty or more years ago. One can admire to die full great houses and gardens whose age can be reckoned by cen turies When, as in the case of those around Tunbridge Wells, they are maintained in a high state of keeping. There is no diffi culty in obtaining both pleasure and inter est from visits to seats that bear -the im press of a good old age; but it is agreeable now and again -to turn to houses and gar dens that are modem, but with a sufficient number of years for the appearance of new ness to have worn off, and for the trees and shrubs with whidh the grounds have been planted to attain to considerable dimen sions. To this category belongs Ely Grange, as we now know it, and if one might make a guess in such a matter, it may be said the present mansion was built and the grounds plan-ned about thirty years ago. This suggestion is based on the fact that the grounds have been designed and planted by Mr. Goldring, the head gardener, who has had the good fortune to see his work mature and fully justify his plans, his selections, and his subsequent methods of~procedure in management. Mr. Goldring has also had the good fortune, as he so freely ac- knoiyledges, of having during the long period he has been at Ely Grange, employ ers who have taken a keen interest in their garden, have had exceptional taste, and have given him generous support in carrying out whatever may have -been considered necessary for adding to the beauty and in

In tlio evening an entertainment was given in the Chapel. This differed entirely from tho stylo of meeting ttsually given in tho Chapel at this period of tho year. Instead of local talent being responsible for tho various items of tho programme tho proceedings were in tlio hands of the Bov. and Mrs. .1. W. Rnper, of Oaliworth, near Keighley; and Sliss .1.

With tho exception of Mr. Raper,'the artistes aro natives of Tossido, and many^ friends camo to meet tlioni, and the -visitors were given a very hearty welcoro* There was a very largo congregation; tho favourable weather and attractive programme bringing friends from long distances. The ontertainors performed their tasks in an ex ceedingly able manner and a most enjoyable time was spent. After a few introductory remarks by tho Chairman, Sir. W. D.

from the Tunbridge Wells side of the estate bv a handsome lodge near Firn--.' Church,’ and between- this point and the mansion the visitor has the opportunity of seeing some excellent grouping of trees and
some of the finest scenery of wihich the dis trict can boast.’ Before, however, passing the lodge gates the visitor will be. wise, if he has a taste for English landscape, to pause and enjoy -the magnificent prospect obtained from near -the church. The bill on whicli this edifice stands has a height of 600 feet, and from the church tower a fine view of the Weald of Kent and Sussex can obtained. ^Jjhc

A glampse of these is obtainable 'in- the view_ which in cludes the terrace, and a peep is also ob tailed of the park, with the fine li-me trees on the rising ground -in. the far distance. The park is remarkable for its fine limes, which here atta.ih'enormous proportions. _ A feature at once distinct .and interesting
is the--great natural rock garden, which, commencing at the boundary of the pleasure grounds, extends for some hundreds of yards into the
p.ark. Originally this, was a lofty bank, surmounted by trees of various descriptions,, and it was eviden-tly decided to -deal with it in sudh a manner as to con vert it into a great natural rock garden. - The bank was planted w’itli coniferous
and other trees and shrubs that thrive with their roots searching in -the crevices of the rock for sustenance, native ferns and hardy flowering plants’ that thrive on and about rock.

Use a box about 3 inches deep for the purpose, and this should have several good-sized holes in the. bottom so that super fluous water can escape. Over these place an inch thick layer of crocks, then a little rough soil, and then fill up with the finely- sifted compost, which should consist of good loam one part and leaf-mould and sharp sand half a part each. Make this moder ately firm and scatter the seeds thinly over the surface, covering them with- a quarter of an inch layer of fine'^soil and water ^with a fine-rosed can. Stand the box, in a warm green-house or frame, and as soon as the seedlings apjpear keep -them near the glass.

there were days of golden light and they had to thank God for “ Old Age Pensions,” and the “ Children’s Charter.” As religous and social workers they had to keep before them certain progressive ideals, but success largely depended on their also keeping in harmonious and happy relationship these two things— hope and labour.

FALLEN LEAVES. In those town gardens whore there tire
shubboi'ics it is practically certain that tho surface of the soil will now be covered ivith ftillen leaves. These cannot bo allowed to remain, as they make tho gar den so untidv ; b ’,:t the general custom of raking them off and tr.ansfcrring tlicm to the rubbish heap is
cqu.ally undesirable, for in rotting down they provide the natural food of the plants that ])roduced them, and their removal means depriva tion for which compensation is seldom made in the form of mtinure. The best course is to dig the border over carefully,, going sufficiently deep to well bury the letives and weeds, but not so far down as to seriously injure the roots of the plants. A disadvantage arises where bulbs have been planted, for these are almost certain to be disturbed. In these circumstances it is wiser to prick over the surface-with a fork when the leaves have been removed and
aftorw.ards' to apply a , good mulching of naturtil manure, covering this in its turn with a Layer pf fine soil OVERHAULING PLANT SUPPORTS.
During the dull and cold days of Decem
ber, when work outside is frequently at a standstill, the amateur cannot do better than Gverhaul'the stakes ivhich have been used for plant supports during the past summer. I t will be found that many of these are partially decayed at that point ivhich corresponds with the surface of the soil, and to use them in this con dition next summer would be waste of time. They should be cut through at the point named and resharpened, and any that need it given a coat of paint. When this is dry the stakes, may be sorted into
their.vai’ious lengths and tied into bundles o fa dozen, tivehty-fivo or fifty, according to their thickness. ’ They will then be ready for use without delay next summer, when waste of time must strictly be avoided.

be done, as it is always advisable to par tially cut back the shoots in the autumn— about the end of October— to admit more light and air to the remaining portion to ripen it thoroughly. The whole of each Vine should -be pruned at one time, that is on the same day; then the buds will break into new groivth in a regular manner. Prune back to hvo eyes; -this is the safest plan for a beginner, as afterwards the best new resultant -slhoot can be retained and the weakest one rubbed off wihile quite young A thin, pointed bud either does not contain an embryo bunch of Grapes or a very small one. A plump bud near the base "of the shoot mostly contains an embryo bunch which will, in due course, develop into a fine cluster of fruit. A rounded bud several inches from the base of the branch generally produces a large, loosely-shaped bunch of Grapes. Use a sharp knife when pnining the Vines, and l>e careful not to cut off -the branch too close to the bud or "eye.” On quite young Vines the current year’s growth of the leader should be left 18 inches long, ithe end portion beyond being cut off. HARDY FRUIT.
•Pruning of all kinds cf fruit trees and
bushes, with the exception of Peaches. Nectarines and F-igs. should be fonvarded avhenever the weather permits. Goose berries are often attacked by sparrows and most of the buds destroyed. To prevent this the bushes after pruning may be dusted with powdered lime when damp; or, if preferred, the. same made into a thin wash to which soft soap or a little paraffin is add
ed and applied with a syringe on a drv dav h.a.s a. stilt more Listing effect. Where it is deemed
necess.iry to protect Fig trees from branches of Spruce. Douglas Fir or
other evergreen should be obtained and held in reiidiness-. So long as mildness prevails the trees are best exposed.
