AiN ENGLDSH POULTRY FARM.
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

gathered are carefully washed, an-

,.vention, for no speck of dirt is .per-

factory which break the egg shells
and in the contents.
(Huge incubators 111 which d•aiiiy

battery brooders for chicks of one to

SOME OF THE BEST OF T H•E
,NEWER ORNAMENTAL PLANTS

(There are large collections of orna-

newer varieties are .compared 'with 'the
old" It olfiten is found that . 'a high
/priGecl new varietya is no better, if as
good, as some .variety very much mike
it.' A great manynew varieties 'of iris,
'For instance, have been introduced in

few of the best dou'b'le varieties tested
at the Experimental Farm which may

considerably in price in recent years
are: Le Cygne, S'ofan.ge, M'ad'anne

Great advances have, been made in
IDebp'hiniiuims in rodent years. 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,

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

Fairs Provide Own Judges
;Fon many years "Government
Judges" have been available to Ag-
ricultural Societies at very nominal
charge. For reasons of economy 'this
service has been withdrawn fat -this
year at least, accord'ing to J. A. (Car-
roll, Superintendent of Agricultural
Societies. ,Assistance will be given to
some fairs in the north, but no
judges will he provided in old Ontar-
io. As there are capable and exper-
ienced judges in almost every com-
munity, this should not prove a hard-
ship. I't might 'be considered wise td
select judges from a neighboring
county in most -eases.
New T.B. Policy
After May 15 stock owners whose
purebred cattle have been ordered tc
be slaughtered under the T.B. regu-
lations are required to produce certi-
ficates of registration at the time of
the commencement of the test. Oth-
erwise no recommendation for com-
pensation will be made by the Veter-
inary Director-¢Generat
no apples may be exported from
Canada from infested districts, and
efforts are being made to keep the
orchards '100 per cent. clean during
the coating season of growth,
Bean Prices Improve
:Bean prices have moved up rapidly
during the last few weeks and quota-
tions now going out are _$1,25 for
choice hand picked as comipared with
about 60c per 'bushel some two
months ago.
lE'nlquiry of ,the Ontario .Marketing

?Railw'ays and Conference Lines leave
recently isesaed at revised through
,freight rate for export on beans about
40 per cent, less than former rates
and effective t ve to Conference shippers
until Nov. 118th next. This' rate has
enabled beans to move into export
channels and prices have risen ac-
cordingly.
