Swaine, Director of Re- search, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, in a recent ad- dress on co-ordination of research, gave a brief outline of Canada's re- search resources. Canada, he said, had great resources in her institut- ions in able and well-trained re- searchers, but that there was great need for more of then. The Domin- ion Department of Agriculture, with headquarters at Ottawa, had a stats of experts, together with 60 labor- atories, large and small, which were devoted chiefly to agricultural re- search. They were attached to dif- ferent Branches of the Department and were distributed throughout all the provinces. There were 34 experi- mental farms in the various provinc- es in which research projects were conducted, and there were more than 200 illustration stations available for testing and demonstrating the results of research.

In addition, •there were several hundred officers engaged, in the administration of Dominion Agricultural Acts and in extension and service work along many lines, so that excellent liaison was provided between research on the one hand and the industry on the other. The—National ;Research Council, said Dr. Swaine;'had 'wolf essaipped laboratories in a splendid, modern. Wilding, situated at Ottawa, with a small but highly -trained staff devot- ed in the main to fundamental agri- cultural research. In addition to the Division of Biology and Agriculture, the Division of Physics and Engine- ering and the Division of Chemistry conduct researches on special agri- cultural problems involving those sciences. The agricultural colleges in the different provinces had many mem- bers of the staff and graduate stud- ents engaged in research, and they were making very important con- tributions in this field. They had, in addition, the most important func- tion of discovering and training the future research workers. The Prov- incial Departments of Agriculture were conducting many research pro- jects, in great part in connection with the agricultural colleges. Like the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, they had highly efficient ex- tension services which formed an •in- valuable liaison between the research and the industry. Then there were the university laboratories, outside the agricultural colleges, with in- dividual research workers engaged on problems' affecting agriculture. Fur- ther, there was the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists which was a powerful factor in the ad- vancement and co-ordination of agricultural research through its committees, the many contacts it had facilitated, and through its public- ations and moral support. Various professional societies had in the same way contributed in their re- spective fields. Views "Would you. like some views of the hotel ". asked the proprietor of the departing guest.

Of • course, there is more to this letter than I have quoted. But I have quoted enough. to show the prob- lem. I have profound sympathy for this good woman. But I am just 'etittiffess: They -are 'Certain TY wrong. There are many women who have far better business ability than some men who pride themselves in being "business men." mBut what both husbands and wives ould remember is, that marriage is a partnership. A 'worthwhile wife is always anxious to share, not only her husbands joys and successes, but also his cares and burdens. The husband who denies his wife that privilege may be doing her, not only an injustice, but a very serious in- jury. In this particular: case it is no use speculating why this .husband is so reticent about talking business with his wife. The real question is—why, because his wife happens to come into a little money on her own, has he taken to cutting her bouskeeping allowance. A. woman is entitled to have a little money of her own. Be- sides, since she works for her hus- band in the home, she has also a right to her share of what he earns, so the husband ought to allow his wife a bouskeeping allowance gen- erous enough to give her a small margin for herself. The chances are, that even that margin will be used for the home. • I don't wonder that my correspond- ent is beginning to feel aggrieved, but I do feel that she will never be able to do a thing about it until she has had a perfectly frank and open conversation with her husband. She does not seem to have had this. 3 Perhaps her husband is quite uncon- scious of doing anything wrong. He may be carrying some burden that she knows nothing about. He may even be anxious to talk things over with her, but finding it hard. Let my friend make the approach to her husband, and let her do it in a kind, but firm and frank way, and if that does not clear the air I will be glad to hear from her again. She may have something more to tell me that will give me a clue as to' the real trouble. * * * To Irl: eser.re Lenin's j Body For 100 Years Moscow.—Prof. Boris Ilyich Zbar- sky said recently that the body of Nikolai, Lenin, father of Commun- ism, may be preserved for the Text 100 years.

At present the Cranston kennels contain four female cockers and 12 youngsters of varying ages. When petted they socially chewed a finger or shoe strap. They like Ger- trude's old shoes to chew on. "I do not care for trick dogs," she says. "I like dogs that are intelligent and do unexpected things, like chil- dren picking up their own tricks. No one taught Lady Fawn to shake hands, and yet she does it very pret- tily. She also flushed a woodccok near here recently. The name cocker spaniel comes front the fact that they are English hunting dogs, and their favorite game is the woodcock. They do not point like the usual hunting dog, but flush their game. They make for the woodcock's nest and flush the bird straight up, so that the hunter can bag it.
