PROF. GRAHAM
Poultry Expert Back From
Europe.
Toronto d P a tch-Prof. W. 11.
Graham, of the Pouttry Department of
the Ontario Agricultural College, has
returned. from a trip through England,
Ireland_ and. Denmark, where he has been
studying the methoes employed in egg -
production, packing, shipping and mar-
keting. He made a close observation of
the eo.operetive system of marketing in
Denmark and Ireland, and in his report
to the Department of Agricultare will
probably recommend that the Ontallo
poultrymen shoeld adopt a similar s.ys.
tem, In the. matter of quality and type
of fowl, he said, Ontario would compare
well with the older countries, but not
enoughattention bee been paid here to
the selection ancl packing of egpa for
marketing purposes. Uniformity in size
and color was one of the prineiples fol.
lowed in Ireland, he said, with the re.
suit that there wa6 a gradation in qual-
ity and price on the market much the
,same as obtains with regard to fruit in
Ontario.
He also observed that the shorthorn
variety of cow a for dairying purposes
has the preference in Ireland, In one
small seetion alone .there were 3,000
shorthorn e0Ws ancl none of any other
variety. These cows had a record of
averaging 6,500 pounds of milk each in
a year.
The -shorthorns in Great Britain are
as conspicuous as barred -rock chickene
hi Ontario.

Debar° and six of h,er seven child-

years, met death early to.day in a fire

floor was used. as a bakery; the rear

slept in the front room.
A. curtain of flame, sweeping over the
bed, awoke Debar° and the boy. They
darted to the doorway to re.scue the
woman and children, but a pillar of fire
checked them. With their nightclothes
blazing, they jumped from the window.
So quickly did the flames do theii

destroyed before volunteer firemen
reached it.
They searched the glowing embers for
the bodies, and foam five of them in a
huddled heap near the centre of the
building. The woman ;with the baby in
her arms, lay near the window. Ap-

band. returned home. He found the
house in disorder and his wife gone.
Hearing groans outside he got a lantern
and, discovered his, wife lying in the
grass where she had fallen after being
wounded the second time.
It was not until two hours later that
the police ,of the South Englewood sta-
tion were notified. When they arrived
at the house there was little eletnee of
catching up with the fleeing thieves.
The robbers got no plunder, They had
&curdled the house thoroughly, however,
and had used their knives freely in
slitting open mattresses and cutting
away earpets in their hunt for seeref
hiding places.
Mrs, Guentert was -conscious when
she arrived at the hospital. She
said , she heard a knoek at the. door.
She was afraid. to open it, but went
to the door again. She unlocked it and
opened it slightly. As she did so she
saw two masked faces, but before she

the board would bar all foreign entries,
and the announcement to -day is accepted
with coneiderable surprise.
"I can't underetand the tunicoatt action
of the board," eaid Mr. Hume, in arguing
before the State, Board. "It ie, not foir
to the farmers of Wisconein. The Cana-
dian Govertunent has no interest in im-
proving the crops of Wisconsin, and is
exhibiting only 10 (Irate persons from
Ohl State to Oanada. Partnere from the
different countiee, take profeesional pride
in every exhibit they place, but they
have no time to enhance the produets
by artifielai means as the Canadian Gov-
ernment does. Wisconein farmers bring
their producte to the fair just as they
are taken from the ground.. They have
no men to arrange their exhibit for
them, but rely on the good qualities of
their goods to win prizes. The Cana-
dian Government employs professional
deeignens of exhibits, who arrange the
Government exhibits in the wet a ttrre-
tive form."
