FRENCH Bishop; From Krakow, I have learned about the killings this morning in the Church of Saint-Etienne du Rouvray. There were three victims: the priest (84 yrs old) Fr Jacques Hamel and the two authors of the assassination. Three other people were injured – one of them very seriously. I call out to God, with all people of good will. I dare to invite non-believers to unite in this call! With the youth of the World Youth Days, we pray in the same manner as we prayed around the tomb of Father Popiełuszko in Warsaw – assassinated under the communist regime … The only weapons which the Catholic Church can take up are prayer and fraternity among peoples. I return home leaving hundreds of young people who are the future of humanity, the truth. I ask them not to give up in the face of violence but to become apostles of the civilization of love.

NEWTOWN BUTTER
Weekly Mail. 29th June 1901.
DAIRY PRODUCE. [By W J. GRANT, Organiser of Agricultural Education in Monmouthshire,
The butter classes were all well filled. The first class for butter in keg or package, made and delivered on or before May 11, was naturally interesting, because it gave the public an opportunity of ascertaining the keeping qualities of British butters. The class, as a whole, was fairly satisfactory, with the exception of a few of the entries, which appeared to be mildewed, although, the defect was only on the surface. There was no doubt as to Mr. Charles Hayes exhibit being entitled to the first prize In Class 318, for boxes of a dozen 21b. rolls, the first and second prizes went to lrish creameries, and they gave a fair example of the magnificent butter the English creameries are now placing in the market. The texture, flavour, and colour of the Fennor Co-operative Society’s exhibit will bear favourable comparison with any butter staged in the show. The exhibits in Class 319, for 21b. of fresh butter slightly salted made up in pounds, varied somewhat in colour. Taken collectively, the texture was good throughout, and in many instances we might look upon the butter staged in this class as being an example of the way in which English butters in small quantities could be delivered in excellent condition direct to the consumers. We mention this with a view to showing the possibility of those who are producing English butter distributing direct to the consumer small or large quantities, weekly or other- wise, by post or rail. There was not such a rich colour with the butters made from cows other than Channel Islands or crossed with Channel Islands, but it was an excellent class, and there was a brightness and excellence of texture which it would be difficult to beat. Lord Rosebery’s dairymaid at Mentmore (Mrs. Crookes) has placed an exhibit before us which exemplifies her ability. Colour, texture, freedom from moisture, perfect condition these are the qualities of probably the best of all the small entries. Amongst the large entries the butters of the Irish creameries take the lead. Cheese as a whole makes a good exhibit, but here we do not find the quantity or variety that we see at the gathering at Islington. But when the prizes for Cheddar cheese are competed for by such makers as Mr. H. Travers (Trowbridge), Mr Henry Cannon, and Mr. T. C. Candy we naturally expect to see good entries. On the whole, Cheshire cheeses are a fairly good class. We are pleased to note that the Cheshire County Council are amongst the prize-winners. Stiltons, too, are a good class, but Wensleydales are small. We regret to see that from the neighbouring county of Mon- mouth, where the principles of Wensleydale cheese-making have been taught for the last six years, some of those who have been making these excellent cheeses have not tried their luck at the show, especially when we know that for three or four years past some of the dairies in that county have been commanding excellent prices for their produce. Double Gloucester’s are a small class, and Wiltshire’s are fairly good. Dealing with Caerphilly cheese as a whole, it is extremely gratifying to find that Mr. Benson, the judge, was able to award prizes to Caerphilly cheese possessing the true characteristics by which that cheese may be recognised. It is a well- known fact that Caerphilly cheese in the true sense of the term can only be produced in districts east of the River Ely in Glamorganshire and west of the River Usk in Monmouth-
