Royal Pair Opens
This week marks the opening of
the Royal Winter Pair at Toronto,
and everything points to the most
interesting exhibition of agricultural
produce and live stoek in the
Fair's history, this in spite of condi-
tions in many parts of Ontario whicht
tended to retard a nuniber of crops
during the past season. Coming at
this season of the year, representa-
tive fanners in large numbers from
all parts oe the province are expect-
ed to attend, The visit of the Royal
500" Perty.of•farm boys and a

Should Clean Out Cistern
During the warmer months of -the
year cistern water has a. tendency
to become foul, disagreeable aed un-
healthful. Varioes inseets and the
waithings from roofs of houses, es-
pecially where birds are numerous,
couspire .a pollute cistern water.
With the coming Of the rainy season
farmers will find it valuable to give
the cistern a thorotight eleansing in
preparation for refilling with fan
rains. Filters also should be taken
apart or reconstructed, according to
the type in the. The cistern should
be closed in so the surface water,
insects and small animals cannot get
in. Purity of water in cisterns is
a primarn consideration,

Tribute to Women's Institutes
"No money expended by the Prov-
ince of Ontario is expended so wise-
ly or does 'so ninth work as the
money expended on the Wennen'e In-
stitutes," declared Hon. Thomas L.
'Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture,
who was guest -speaker at the recent
161:h annual convention. Paying trib-
ute to the work done by the Insti-
tutes, he expressed the belief that ,
the $80,000 expended by the Govern-
ment this year on the Women's In-
stitutes would he eeased. He
added that he hoped some money
would be spent on beautifying 'farm
lands, emphasizing the important
place taken by floweiw, fruit trees
and plain ordinary paint in making
a farm into a home. He also ex -
Pressed the wish that every rural
home might enjoy the privilege of
hydro. He saw no limit to the good
work the Goverrunent might acme-.
plisb with the support of the Wet -
ton's institute..
Weekly Crop Report
Reports from various sections of
Ontario indicate that field work is
only fairly well advanced. Owing to
the very dry weather in the east and
the rather heavy frost in tbe west,
plowing has been retarded. Fall
wheat is entering the winter in good
condition, especially the fields that
reeeived sufficient moisture to de-
velop good top, There is a. continued
demand for good stocker cattle,
small pigs and sows, as farmers pre-
fer to market their geain through
live stock rather than put it on the
market at present mites.
Winter Peed Situation
'Mere will be many barns without
the usual supply of feed this miming
winter. In the drought areas the
cows are ou full winter rations. The
meant of feed that will be avail.
able for winter feeding is being re-
duced by just this much. One sug-
gestion to meet' the situation is that
some herd culling will be in order.
In most herds of ten or tevelve cows
there are two to four cows that are
detinitely known to be towel. pro-
ducers than their stable mates. If
these wete to be sold it would re-
duce the constimption of feed from
20 to 40 per cent. while the reduc-
tion in production would be only
from 10 to 20 per cent. Another an-
gle to the culling suggested is that
the marketing of it lot of culls to
the butcher Would iterld to reduce

the surplus of dairy products that is
exerting such •a depressing effect on
the market.
Impreving Sheep in Dufferin
That Hufferin County farmers are
interested in sheep husbandry and
recognize the value of purebred sires
is evidenced by the fact that many
have recently purchased purebred
ranee. On Nov. 4th„ 19 registered
ram Jambe were distributed from
Orangeville by Itelph C. Banbury,
Dufferin agricultural representative.
The rams were bought by the Fede-
ral and Provindial Live Stock
Branches and sold at scrub ram
pekes to breeders in the more
inz-
pontant sheep producing counties -
The difference between the cost ant'
sale prices is being made up by the
Government. The majority of the
limbs were of Oxford breed, but
Shropshires, Leicesters, Hampshires,
Lincolns and Dorsets were repre-
tented. The buying of good quality
breeding stook when prices are low
is good business as the farmers will
thus ;have a fine flock and be in a
position to take full advantage when
prices improve.
Clean up the Ren House .
Every hen house should be clean-
ed before putting in the pullet tree.
A good thprough cleaning consists
of removing the litter and.all poul-
try house fixtures,such as mash -
hoppers, drinking fountainsand the
like, then flushing the walls, ceil-
ings, dropping boards and floor,
segsming loose any dirt that man*
have a tendency to stick. After the
'house has been thoroughly cleaned
it is ready for a coat of whitewash.
This will improve the appearance of
your hen house, make it mueh
light-
er for the birds and at the sante
time help to kill parasites and dis-
ease germs. A. commen practice is
to add a pint of disinfectant to a
gallon of whitewash. Clean, comfort-
able quaters for the pulletn, go a
long way toward inereaseT produc-
tion during the winter months.
Wm Buy Poultry on Grade
As a result of a conference of lead-
ing wholesale burrs and represera
tatives of the Federal and Provincial
Governments, an agreement has
been reaehed on the part of the buy-
ers to recognize Government grades.
The agreement marks one of the
most important developments in the
poultry indnstry in many years.
Just wbat this announcement means
to the farmers of Canada is Indi-
cated by the fact that through the
sbnple process of crate -feeding and
properly finishing poulaey for mare
ket Item 50 to 75 cents in market
value may be added to the individ-
ual bird. A. minimum differential of
3e per pound premium for all gentles
'in the 'milk -fed class over the corres-
ponding grades itt the class selected
is guaranteed by the buyers, and sup-
plementing this will be definite and
substantial price differentials be-
tween grades within classes, the dif-
ferentials increasing substantially
with each decrease in grade,
A. significant feature of the %aerie
tion is that for the first time on the
province -wide basis the protium
which the consumer reaeily pays for
quality in poultry, is passed along
to the original producer.
Feeding experts tell us that it
costs less to put the last pound on
a mature market bird than it does
to raise the bird to maturity. It costs
from 7e to 8c per pound to raise the
bitd to maturity, and from 3e to 6c
pee pound to crate feed and finish,
It is further stated that the aver-
age range bird may be expected
*without finiehing to grade "Selected
13" while by being oatecfed and fin-
ished, nob only is it possible to in -
crew weight' approximately one
pound, but what is more important
to raise the market grade to "Milk -
Led 33" or "Milk -fed A". A.5 current
prices this means an added value
per bird of around" 750.
This whole situation means that
a premium will be paid for the bet-
ter quality bird, tied that there will
be 'very little Market domed for
small, thin and poorly- finished birds.
Therefore it behooves the poultry -
raisers to make a special effort, this
year to crate feed, prorierly finis,h
and propetly kill all birds for mar-
ket. •

Vocational Guidance
• Widespread interest in Vocational
guidance is mirroted in reports From
various parts of Canada.
en London, the movement has rec
stilted in the proposal to toren an
Advisory Board as described in the
following paragraphs,
Au advisory board, composed of
public-spirited men and women Of
the city, to help children choose their
vocations is a suggestion that is son
to receive* the attention of the local
Board of Education.
Principally, the board would have
to do with students who have ob-
tained entrance certificates. and -wile
wish to Continue studies in the col-
legiates or the Technical and Com-
mercial High School. The members
of the board would have the duty.
of sizing up' the individuals and sug-
gesting stedies for them to pursue in
order that they might Simi a profier
niche in life.
The argument is that to -day there
ere a great many square pegs in
round holes. Itt other words, boys
and girls do not fit into life when
they have cempleted their studies,
They seek for a long time to find
their proper sphere and sometimes
are hever sttccessful.

advisory capacity to the students ).e-
gistering. It is felt that while thee
men are efficient as far as picking
courses for the applicants is concern-
ed, still they cannot properly advise
on final voeations.
On the other hand, men and wo-
men who have experience in life' no
matter what their education maybe,
heads of business concerns, doctor,
lawyers and all professional men and
women, well versed in handling their
employees or People in geneval, will
be able to size up the individual boy
or girl much better than principals
or teachers in secondary schoole. It
is felt that they can make the pro-
per euggestions.
Once the members of the board
had studied the child and found what
they consider., the proper vocation to
be followed, they wouldturn the
boy or girl over to the principals so
that the latter would, line up the
studies -necessary in the vocation
suggested. .
Two recent issues of the '"11.0.
Teacher," Vancouver contain articles
discussing the -Motional guidance
question in all phases.
A course in vocational guidance
principles is offeerd in Ontario at

Teachos at Hamilton.

New Entrance Regulations
The University' of Toronto has -de-
cided to discontinue at the, end of the
Session 1930-21, offering instruction
in the subjects of what is now known
as the First Year of the Pass Arts
Course. This is a change which has
been under discussion for some yeas
because there appeared to be no
good' reason why the 'University
should provide instruction which is
available in the Collegiate Institutes
and High Schools of the Province. For
two decades or nhme; Upper Scheel
or Honour Matriculation certificates
have been accepted, subject for sub-
ject, as the equivalent of First Year
Pass Arts standing. There was,
therefore, a duplication of effort
whith should here after be largely
obviated be. this change in university
policy. It is expected that the se-
condary schools will 'welcome this
innovation because students will re-
main -with them longer and there will
be' it better opportunity for the
rounding• -out of secondary education
and, on the other hand, students will
enter the university at a more ma-
ture age, better fitted to benefit by
university education.
When the new arrangement goes
into effect, the present Second Year
will ibecome the First Year and
students taking the Pass Course will
graduate at the and of the Third
Year. And a still more startling
change has been made. Students will
be able to enter the First Year of
She new POE, Course without Latin
beyond that of Junio Mettneulation!
Not in half a century has suelt a rad -
teal departure taken place in univer
sity policy. Hereafter, Latin of Pass
or Junior Matrieulation'evill be suffi-
cient.
Vocational Education in Ontario
by F. P. Gavin
Although the development of vo-
cational education in Ontano has
beeti a recent phase of its education-
al growth, the idea of speeialrtrain-
ing is by no means new. In 1871
Egerton Ryerson, Chief Superinten-
dent of Education, in his annual re-
pot seed: "Technical education is
instruction in the peculiar knowledge
or speeial skill tequieed in any busi-
ness or occupation, the training
'which will render the talents of the
citizen most useful to the state in
that partieular craft or profession in
which he or she is engaged, whether
mechanic, farmer, engineer, teacher,
merchant, architeet, minister, doctor
or lawyer. As the education of the
eademon school iite the youth for the
performance of his duties as a citi-
zen, so the teelenical school prepares
him for the special duties of his
trade or professio.n Divinity, law
and medical schools for special or
technical instemetion have long been
in suceessful operation."
Although the need for tecimical
training was reeognized long since
and steps were soon taken to provide
such traihing in the higher fields of
voeational intetests, progress in the
establishment of social trainieg for
the mechanical anti commercial pur-
suits have been slow. It is only in
recent years that really defective
steps have been taken in these Beide.
The fifty or 'More years since 1870
may for convenience, be divided into
four periods.
The first Period, from 1870 to
1900, was marked by the establish-
ment and development of many ag-
encies foe vocational education of a
professional type. Opportunities for
specialized training were provided
for those entevine the higher occu-
pational fields before they were pro-
vided for those looking forward to
the lower fields. That there was a
felt want among those engaged in
mechtatical and commercial occupa-
tions is evidenced by the establish-
ment and erowth during this period
of ileeehanies Institute6 and of pri-
vate business colleges.
'The secorid period covees the years
from 1000 to about 1912. It was if
period of discussion about the value
of hand traibingeand of the need for
praViding special training fon work-
ers in the lower fields of employment
as adequate for their heeds as had
already been peovided for the pro-
fessional workers. Manual training
and domestic science were introduced
and spread rapidly through the
settee' stretern. ,
ten 1900 the Toronto City Council
trarchased the Toronto Athletic Club may makeerecommendatione to the
Board in regard to persons, they cm -
eider desirable. Such a constitution
of the adeisory committee ensures
that at least some of its membere
have a; fiest-liand knowledge of the
occunational needs and interests of
She comenunity.
The scheme' enables the local
school authorities to draft into sen -
vice pereons who are specially in-
terested in vocational training, and
who perhaps could, not be elected by
popular vote or who would not stand
for election. In bring to the sup-
port of the school not only the elect-
ed school authorities, but organized
employees and employers. Educa-
tional authorities in Ontario are of

mittees, have been a large factor in
