F. 0. was held in District Representative Paterson's offices, on Saturday after- noori Hist; when he, Mr, Wt 'gins and Mr Ti•ewartha told something about rearing, feeding ` and marketing of poultry. Poultry, has. come to be considered an important branch of agriculture and nior•e and more atteu- tion is being' paid to it. A'humber of farmers and their wives and families attended to pick up whiit inforamtion they'could in regard • to the better management of thein poultry flocks, Mr. Paterson spoke.: particularly abont feeding, giving some new ideas along that line. ..

Mr. Sloman's talk was -very interesting. He said the schools not only brought the children into tench with books and all that they'meen but also the parents, as all were'in- terested in what -the Children were learningn and the • car•cho s of was a litt'Ik between them . and the outside world.- He said theo ' o e le -all v p. p over the Provie,.e had been very sending -the children Christmas gifts, books, etc. His talk- wit's much en- joyed by the ladies, wile felt that it had taught something about condi- tions in that part of the Province. SAYS COMMISSION IS RIGHT. Superintendent Chant .of 'the Pub- lic Utilities takes exception nri to the. standtaken t ten by Clerk Macpherson, as set forth in the 'report-- of the last council i need regarding rho grnan- fn agement of the town waterworks. Mr. Chant says the -Commission is conducting the system . ;according to • the Provincial law governing .public utilities. Mr. Macpherson's' chief ob- jection was that revenues from the Waterworks were used tri extend the plant; instead of being ; used to re- duce taxes. Mr. Chant 'says this is not the case, that there has only been a surplus during the papt couple of years and that when tliese;accmnu- late sufficiently they will`be returned to the users of water, olio only are entitled. to -then;: Iii ' the •nieanttihje; until it is worth while to issue a de- benture for the extension -.of the land the money on h 11 o and is used.. sed. Mr. Chant says the idea is not that there should be any surplus, but that it is difficult to fix rates so that: they, will exactly meet the needs of the commission. The council decid- ed to meet the commission shortly, and probably a better -understanding will be arrived at. AMONG THE CHURCHES.
