The poultry farms of a manufactur- er in England .provide a, unique ex- 4am•ple of how 'prevention" can be- come a fine art, They are almost ad- jacent to the factory and can be seen by travellers going north• on the L. M.S. line. We met with a novel illus- ion. Driving up to a courtgard we alighted e. at what appeared to be the .entrance toa garden village. Through an archway we saw L a picturesque well, complete withrope and bucket, and behind "it a well-groOrned circular 'lawn calculated to arouse the 'praise. .of a bowls enthusiast. The "village" ranged round the lawn 'in horseshoe !fashion;' the white -fronted cottages being joined symmetrically together. We ,passed through the archway, 'and, In , doing so, disinfected our shoes. !But there were no prying eyes at the windows such as are sometimes observed in the secluded' -villages of the English country -side. We 'entered the first cottage and immediately !found disillusionment. What we had imagined -to -be a number of cottages —the horseshoe an fact—was but one building, the outside ,ci.rcatnoference of which—the side we had been un- able to see .ws divided into hunter- eus comparbmenits inhabited by white Leghorn pullets of varying ;ages. Here was an exceedingly pretty sight and la pro!fouudly c'levet scheme, Every compartment receives its full :measure of sun during the day while there is ample protection from, cold winces .and clamp weather,'Tlhe flood is placed so that it shall not be contaminated and there is abundant air and light. ;No evil odour could 'be observed :while the whole was a Model of clcan lin eve. , There are as many .as 25,000 hens on the poultry farms, making a snowy -white spectacle. Many of the1nt' . are tended by girls garbed in the picturesque 'habit adopted .by women wo.rlcers on the load The eggs • wh,en gathered are carefully washed, an- other little detailof the art of .pre- ,.vention, for no speck of dirt is .per- anl•tted to reach the anachinesa at the factory which break the egg shells and in the contents. (Huge incubators 111 which d•aiiiy . hatchings take 91ace form ,part of the tpcultry farm equipment and there •are battery brooders for chicks of one to four weeks old, with atotal capacity .of 18,000<chicks.'

The most eco io.mical plan 'is • to sow seed from the best named varieties and among• the seedlings will usually he found some outstanding sorts, .The perennial Moines are charming plants and there has been great im- provement in thein in recent years. :Seed of the best strains will usually give some lovely varieties. !Among the newer ornamental .plants,' the 'Regal lily has, perhaps, mtade the greatest -impres's'ion on flow- er lovers. It is 'so hardy, so readily raised from seed and such a glorious sight itt summer when in bloom, that 'no .garden should be without it. (Everyone' who has room for a lilac Should get one or more of the hewer varieties, among which may be men- tioned Le Marechol Foch, Edith Ca- vell, Decaisne, Congo, Olivier de 'ser- ves, Paul Hhirion, President Fallieres, and there are many others, some of which though they have beeps available for a good many years are rarely seen in Canadian gardens. The collection et the Ex,perinnen'tal Farm, Ottawa, when in bloom in May is a sight not to be forgotten._ There are many other fine varieties of ornamental plants of recent intro- duction. FOUINDATIFON PLANTING 'Foundation planting is the planting of shrubs, vines, annuals or :perennials around the base or wall of a building.. Many people do not seem to realize the value of foundation, planting, While ,plants will not take the place of paint or repairs, nevertheless they serve to hide and bautify buildings that other- wise would be drab or ugly. Hundreds of homes, 'bath old and new, through- out town and country,- could be im- proved by the careful planting of a .few shrubs arostnd them to hide large expanses of wall, soften sharp ang'es and accesituate desirable features. Naturalness should be the keynote of ail planting. _ In most eases, plant- ings, irregular both in width and height, are most pleasing. Deo not plant in a solid line as in a• hedge. 'Group the plants in natural clumps and allow the grass to conte up to the lloundation in a number of places; Make sure that the taller growing shrubs will not interfere with win- dows, ,hatches, low grooving .plants or spacial architectural features. Howev- er, if a mistake be ,made, it can be easily re'ctilfied. Plaftts can be Moved at eny time in setting ''oe fall, an:d ,placed where desired. IS'hmulbs are the most useful' and permanent, and should make upthe bulkOf the planting material. While too • great a variety is not desirable: there should be sufficient to insure bloohn throughout the, flowering sea- son,. 3,.Iixecd- plantings, of evergreens and deciduous s'hru'bs are excellent ,particularly .where year-eonttd effect is wanted, ITrhe following i3 a list of desirable shrubs'that have proven to be .hardy at .Oharlottelaw'it, arranged in order of nl.00m.ing Spirea arguta Japanese bar.ber.ry, Spirea Vlaihottttci: bash honeysuckle (Ilacatacera tatartcaa`gran(t. illot'a and rubra varieties) Moreawi, Lilacs, Mad.

EXPENSIVE IA factor that adds greatly to the cost of secondary school educations 96 Ontario is the expensive examin'ation system. Last year it cast: 3.50,000, we are iasfonni'ed, to mark the departmen- tal examination. papers. I'f this expen- diture was necessary or even helpful, it might be 'justifiable. As a matter of 'fact, it is only a means of sbandarctiz- ing rigidly the instrtr'ction that pupils receive in our secondary schools. The present examination system serves to usa'ilus to a s'taatdlardiz'ation that is characteristic olf tlniameohlatllical age and leaves little place for catering :0 the individual needs of students. So far as department -tests have been el- iminated during the mast few years, the change has ,been a success. We believe that the scorner the remaining. depa'rtfnen,tal exams are discontinued, the better it will be for our secondary school pupils. ?With' the advancement of the pupil dependent upon term work,it will be pdss•ible to suit the curriculum, to the regti•iretnen,ts of the 'pupils and of the .locality. At the present time boys and girls are,bein'g,sibarted out in such sub- jects as 'Latin and Greelc which nine - tenths of them drop after having got only well started. In other vesord's, se- condary schdol education today is not .complete in itself. Dt is preparatory work for the universities. But only a tenth of the students ,ever attend uni- versities. Our whole system of secondary school education is due for an ovler hauling.-bSlt. -Marys Jlournal.-IArgu.s. FROM HALIFAX TO VAN- COUVER BY AUTOMOBILE Though 'by far the greater ;part of a motor tour across tiie continent can be made on Canadian highways it is not yet ,possible to m'ake'the trip entirely an the roadways of the Do- minion. The exception is a stretch of country through northwestern 'On- tario where there are as yet no con- tinuous connecting roads. Moto'ris'ts from the Maritime prov- inces or Quebec bn ,entering Ontario have .the choice of a number of routes, After leaviang Montreal they may journey along the 5't. (Lawrence river; and the north shore of •Lake Ontario to 'Toronto and thence by Highway number 2 or 3 to Windsor, or n•uinber 7 to Sarnia. Motorists taking the southern routes may enter the Unit- ed States at a number of points along the St. Clair and Detroit rivers.
