She did not think of her dress or her chilled limbs ; she thought of Janie. Yet how she neglected hint. She seldom toaohed or spoke to him. It was a weary life he led. He was luite a lad now in years if not in appearance ; his colorless face had nothing childish about it He mast be fourteen, though she dealt with him as one might with a child of seven. He was restless. fretful, hated the confinement (if the dismal room, for since this new fear held her heart she refus- ed to let him go to school or from her side. She did not seem to know he was dissatisfied ; she was too taken up with one thought to be disturbed by any other. She generally took him with her when she went for or returned her work, which was always after dark. She dreaded to lose sight of him, but sotnetimes when it stormed, she loft him at home charging hies not to leave the room. By and by he pleaded to remain, and she yielded to his importunity, never suspect- ing what was true. that he crept out as soon as she was gone, spend• ing his time with the boys in the alley, who took turn with him in watching for her reappearance. It was not strange the lad reported to such strategy ; he could not endure .the loneliness. After a while be even dared to go out while she was at home husy with her trusting to her preoccupation to shield his absence. She did not discover the fraud, and was sub- jected to many deceptions, for one led to another, and the neighbors abetted the boy, touching the orbheads .significantly when re• 'fferring,te his mother.

Intent on her own thoughts, she seldom heard or saw anything, but some words reached her ears that night. "0 for pro- hibition. Where are our boys safe?

This organization was started two years ago for the purpose of bringing the schools of the Provin• ce into closer connection with the College. The work is now past the experimental stage. In 1909 there were 117 schools cooperating in the work and last year 237 schools. It is expected that this year there will be much larger, number of schools taking up the work. Inter- est in inauslrial or vocational education is growing, and with our Government taking legislattve steps to support this line of work, it should net be long before praoti tally every School in Ontario has modified its work in the direction of giving the boys and girls some_, practical e instruction in . 'those things that concern everyday lite •• The introduction of Agrio.alture• into the curriculum of the Public Schools has been tried several times. The plans offered by the Schools' Division may be found to help in the solution of this problem For this year the Schools' Divis- ion is arranging to send out seed packets for children's gardening, seed grain for small experimental plots, shrubs, vines and tnlip bulbs for school ground improvement ; tree seeds and agricultural seeds use also included in its distribu- tion. To schools undertaking to frame it and give it a place on the walls, a picture of the Agricultural College is sent free also. For some of these things no charge is made, provided the material is used strict- ly for educational purposes; for most of the material, however, a charge is made as it is not possible, nor considered advisable, to under- take a free distribution of valuable' material. In all phases of the work, teach- ers and pupils are provided with instruction sheets, booklets or charts ; they are not left alone in the work, but have the experience and co-operation of others who aro doing the same kind of work else- where. Any teachers or trustees inter- ested in the work may secure in- formation regarding it by addres- sing as below. S. B, McCready, Director, Schools' Division, E cptl. Union, 0. A.

Corn and Tobacco • From The Canadian Century It will be remembered that ae one time quite an extensive area of Southwestern Ontario was devoted to growing corn. Tho duty on corn coming into Canada from the United States was removed and the Canadian market was '• immediately so flooded with importations of corn from the United States that corn growing had to be almost completely abandoned by Canadian farmers. About the same time additional protection was given to Canadian tobacco growers, and the result was ,that tobacco crops took the place of corn crops in that part of Ontario formerly most noted for its corn. What Is The Matter With Maine? The farmers of the State of Maine have all the advantages that reciprocity could bring to the Maritime Provinces of Canada and none of the disadvantages. They have free access to the much -talked -of "market of ninety millions," and cannot be shut out of it suddenly by a vote of Congress, as Canadian farmers might be at any time under the Reciprocity Agreement. They are nearer to the markets of Boston and New York than any part of the Martine provinces, and yet the farmers of Maine are no more prosperous than those of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They have no dreams about the value of the "market of ninety million people." They know that the cost of railway haul shuts them off from most of the markets of the United States, although there is no tariff to keep them out. The percentage of increase in population is less in Maine than in tke Maritime Pro- vinces. There aro said to be many thousands of acres of abandoned farms is Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Many of these farms wore occupied for generations, but the young people moved to the cities or to the Western States and the old folks died. The Price of Hogs Canadian farmers may as well make up their minds to give up the business of raising hogs if the Reciprocity Agreement is adopted.' The average price of hogs in Chicago and Montreal for the live years ending December 31, 1918, was as follows: Year Prompt Service Moderate Charges W.

During the sume period prices of hogs have averaged lower in Buffalo than in Toronto. Occasionally the price goes higher in Buffalo, but commonly it is lower. The farmer of the Southwestern States has a longer• season than the Canadian farmer. He not only has cheap corn, but he is able to grow several crops of alfalfa,. and this enables him to produce hogs very cheaply. The Canadian packing houses expect to be crowded out of business by the importa tions of hog products from the big Chicago packing houses, so that the Canadian hog raiser will have no home market. There Is No Winter There In the severe Canadian sense there is no winter in Australia, New Zealand and the Argentine Republic. Cattle can live out- doors throughout the year, so the farmers of those countries do not have the expense of winter shelter and winter feeding. They are consequently able to produce butter, cheese, eggs, and meats muchAlanore cheap- ly than Canadian farmers can. No part of New Zealand is far from the ocean, and, while Australia has a vast interior, the farms of Autralia are all near the sea coast, so that the railway haul to ocean ports is not great. In spite of the fact that they are very niuoh farther from the British market than Canada: is immense quantities of food from those countries are sold in the United Kingdom. Now the Canadian market is to be freely opened. to them as a result of the Reciprocity Compact, and we get uothing in return.
