They had no money and no prospectsof work. Ttie immigration agent got 'in touch with Mr. Elon Weir, a Nor- folk farmer. The latter furnished then with a tenant house, ' hired the head of the family, and found positions on neighboring farms for four of the older boys and two of the girls. All have made good. In the course of a year Mr. Pullman expects to take up his own farm and With the assistance of his boys he should become a highly success- ful farmer. It shows the possibili- ties of making these newcomers -in- to useful members of the rural communities if someone will_ only undertake to befriend them and instruct them in the ways of Can- adian farming.

For many years, it was thought that this pollution was due. to an excess of carbonic 'acid gas, but it is now understood that, inan ordinary occupied room, the amount of this gas is not harmful, nor is there a" sufficient reduction of oxygen brought about to account for the effects of had air. In the early 'years of this cen- tury;, it was porven by experiineints that the symptoms caused by living in so-called bad' or vitiated air are due to the temperature of the air, its moisture and its stillness. In other words, conditions of the air which do not favour the loss of heat. fromthe body ` are the conditions which cause the ll-eJect of bad air.

When the bodyis surrounded by hot,, humid, :still air, it is difficult or impossible for the skin to eliminate as it should, and, as a result, 'there is discomfort,' and, later, if the condition persists, there will.,. be headache, shortness of 'breath, and an .increased pulse rate and tenwereturp.

To secure cotnfort'and fitness, we should live in an atmosphere of cool air which is in gentle motion, and the object of ventilation is to main- tain such an atmosphere. This can usually be accomplished in a satis- factory way by having a thermom- eter int the room and by opening the window. A considerable amount of the ill -health that . occurs in winter is due to the lowered efficiency of the body which follows upon living, and working in overheated 'places. The body is toned up by cool air and upset by overheated still air.

Fighting the Corn Borer According to Prof: Caesar, who has directed the war against the European corn borer in Ontario, a considerable improvements has been shown in the borer-infestedcoun- ties during the past year, and al- though one or two counties in Western Ontario still have a seri- ous infestation 'and the farmer's unremitting vigilence ' will admit no relaxation, the alarming aspects have been vastly mitigated. • The work of the county inspectors 'dur- ing the past two years and the in- creased co-operation of farmers• generally have played a prominent role in the clean=up. Prof. Caesar is now concentrating on a',machine that will cut the corn stalks close to the ground and make "plowing under" an leasy process: Next year he hopes that this machine will, find general use in the corn - growing area.. Farmers who desire to learn .more about the proper methods ofr cleaning up their fields and of waging effective war against the borer should obtain from their agricultural representative 'one l or other of the instruction pamphlets which have leen issued by Prof, Caesar.

After expreasng his pleasure at being present, he spoke of the privilege it should be for trustees to meet to- gether, and should like to have seen more present.

He told of the instruction in agriculture which had been introduced into Goderich Col- legiate this year for the first time. He believed in giving the training that would fit the child for farming. , At present, owing to the lack of co- , operation between school boards no special instructions could be given.
