They should be taken off pasture .and those selected for market should be .placed in small penned enclosures, provided ' with • plenty of water and grit and kept clean. They should be fed heavily on whole corn, the best medium for the fattening of Geese, and about two weeks' heavy feeding should fit them for market. Twenty-four hours before killing geese should be starved, but given plenty of water. Care should be used in pinching, the dry or steam methods being recommended, for the reason that the feathers are particu- larly valuable, bringing as much as 60 cents per pound, The dressed bird should be rubbed over with a damp cloth and set aside to cool.

A Tremendous Success ' By far the greatest success in its history was achieved at the 1930 In- ternatipnal Plowing Match staged last week, off Highway No. 7, near the city of Stratford. Two new records were set on the second day of the match, when an estimated total of 40,000'peo- ple passed through tht gates :and when the entry list numbered 153, su- passing by 44 the list for a single day NEWS AND INFOR TWO waaltly in any previous year. 'The final two days of the match were 'equally sitc- cessful, and the directors have every reason, to feel proud of their achieve- ment. Competitors came from every part of Ontario to tale part in the various plowing contests. A depart- ure this year was a competition for women, who made a remarkably fine showing. The site of the match was a picture, with hundreds of horses and tractors pulling keen -edged plows through perfect soil to reveal row up- on row of furrows, straight and true' and crowned to perfection. Ontario Nuts Win Kent . County has recently been in the limelight as a nut Producing county by reason of the victory scor- ed, by one of its farmers, Harold Eng- lish, of' the Chatham district, at the Nut Growers' Conference at - Cedar Rapids, Iowa. His exhibit of Japan- ese walntits was declared the best ev- er seen by those in attendance at the conference. Large size, good cracking, extraction quality, and fine flavor were the points on which the experts based their decision. The tree from which these fine nuts came is, a beau- tiful specimen and has made rapid growth. It is only six years old`and has borne two good crops, The Chat- ham man's victory is expected to sti- mulate the growth of nut trees in Kent County and elsewhere through- out the province. There is no other factor which enhances the value of -a farm at so little expense as rust trees. Proper Ration Needed A hen may lay a few eggs early in the spring without receiving- much feed or attention or she may lay at the end of the season when feed may be picked up in' the: fields, but the hen has not yet been developed thh.t will lay without proper ratiore during the fall and winter months. A good d mash. is important if the hetes are to lay, and. it should be before the birds all the. time, If any one of the necessary sa'Y el- ements required fop; the nutking of eggs is absent, production is impair- ed. Pullets require a little different plash than the old hens and it is a mistake to house them together arid have them feed from the same hopper. Home-grown feeds with the addition of some purchased concentrates may be 'nixed, or a commercial mash may be purchased that will supply the nec- essary ingredients to the bird. Chick- ens will: pay dividends if properly housed and given the right ratiotts. Wash Day Is Easy Now Particularly if you have a modern Connor Elec- tric Washer in your home.

It is poor business to farm. land that is lacking in lime and strongly acidin reaction. The productive power of the soil is reduc- ed whenit becomes acid. Correcting this condition with the use of ground limestone increases the efficiency of the manures and fertilizers applied, and therefore contributes to the cup ting down of costs of crop produ ,: time. EDUCATION WEEK Once each year the business pian "takes stock" and is in, a 'position to definitely calculate his profits, and frons the l:irowledge gained, is in a deviseways and'Wean position to 1 s of extending his business and increasing earnings. - Secondary High Schooleducation, while it is a business, and a very im- portant one, is on a slightly different footing in that one year is too short a time to determine the success or failure of an educational programme. However it seems not only wise but necessary that "stock" should occas- ionally be taken in order that we may compare the products of our present educational policies with those of the previous, decade and decide if we are following a wise programme' in deal- ing with our youth. An attempt, to trace the evolution 0f our Secondary School Course, from its inception under Dr. Egerton Ryer- son, to its present siatus would re- quire too much time, bet a compari- son of the original, with the present curriculum, will give the reader some idea of the length of the road educa- tionalists have travelled. Under Dr. Ryerson's organization a High School course included Latin Grammar, Latin Authors, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Algebra, Outlines of Ancient -Geography, Roman Hist- ory, History of Britain, Elements of Natural History, Writing, Drawing, Vocal Music. To -day the High School curriculum includes, Latin Grammar and Authors, Greek Grammar and Authors, French Grammar and Authors, English Lit- erature and Composition throughout the course, Canadian History, British History, History of Greece, History of Rome, Modern History of Europe;, Civics, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonom- etry, Botany, Zoology, Physics, Chemistry, Physiograhpy, Grammar and Arithmetic.. it might appear that our present programme is too diversified but our aim is a liberal education and each subject on the curriculum is essential to that end. George William Curtis has said, "The sure foundations of the state are laid in knowledge, not in ig- norance; and every sneer aleduca- tion, at culture, at book learning, which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the dema- gogue's sneer at intelligent liberty, in- viting national degeneracy and ruin." An important factor which has in- fluenced our change in High School Course has been our changed view as to who should have a secondary education. a�r� r4 n�w»rs ,are enabled to choose whatever Vo - national branch or branches which are most suited to local needs and conditions and are assured of liberal support in their attempts - to meet the edtteational desires of their com m� n- ily, to -clay there isno reason why ev- ery child , may not be fitted for his or her life's. vocation. We have 'looked at Education from tite utilitarian standpoint, let us view it from the still more importtat side of ethics, Dr. L. P. Jacks,I'rincipal of Man- chester College, Oxford, has said, `Education presents itself to my mind as the great rear adventure of the twent- ieth century,'"`An immense ferment of ideas, whose issue no matt can tor- see, is going on in the field of ednca- tion, Social thinking which has hith- erto been spread widely and perhaps rather confusedly over fields, of ,pol- itics and economics', is getting clearly. more and more focussed on educa- tional enterprise as the key enter- s civilization.". p rse of "Education is a process with two ends; the teacher's alit' the learner's. Our object is not merely to get things taught but to get them learnt, to get them assimilated, to get them remem- bered, and above all ce get them acted upon. To accomplish this end we have relied too much upon ourselves and ourfive hour a day contact with the students, We are realizing more and more that to succeed we must have the co-operation of everyparent, and of every public-spirited man and woman in the community. Again, as Dr, Jacks says: "A public which ex - Peels of us professionals that we shall by what we teach them in our schools good citizens tura young people into good t s and colleges, but itselfdoes nothing to keep them good after we have expect- ing them out, is obviously s y the absurd -and impossible thing. Everybody must be willing to pull his r weight as an educator. There is something of which everybody can be a professor. He can be a professor of good citizenship. He can be a pro- fessor of efficiency, of competence, of trusteeship—all of them great "sub- jects with objects to correspond." But you say -How can I help? What is my part? Let us recall the plaint of the Israelites -"We cannot make bricks without straw," and ap- ply it to our own needs and in our own community. The character of our secondary school attendance has changed much during the last twenty years. All our, boys and girls enter- ing our High Schools do not desire a professional training. 1tfany of them are not financially able, even if they Dr. Ryerson's original Course was designed with the idea in mind that a• High School Course should be available to a privileged ileged few. To -day we look upon it not as Abe privilege but as the right of every intelligent Canadian child, Hence the broader curriculum to meet the diversified minds of our "High School population. Less than fifty years ago, Canada was essentially an Agricultural state, to- day'we are rapidly for};ing to the front tee a manufacturing nation, eag- er 'to develop our own natut•al re- sotirces, and put our raw Material ort the 'market as a finished product. To do this we nitre' develop the tnincls of our Canadian boys and girls along cornnierecial and industrial lines, We Inset educatenot only doctorslaw- yers, clerymen, teachers, etc., 'but ex- pert accountants, business executives,' machine foremen and various ether practical commercial •eeperts. IHence the need fol' and the, appearance of Vocational training as another side of secondary education, In 1911 Dr, John!: Scott was ap- pointed to 'investigate' the question of special training, and after a careful et'udy of European- and American sys- tems made. a most valuable report, which icd finally to the passing of, tate "Vocational,' Education, Act," of 1921 tints making possible the carry- ing out of practically all of Dr. Scott's recommendations, In 19:19 the Dolttinion Government through the „l cchnrca 1 Cc ca tion Actr endorsed cd the policy of the prd'inces by giving liberal financial support to the foun- dation and maintenance of technical and Vocational schools either as in- dependent institutiotw or as branches of the High Schools, Under the scheme those in control When to Apply Little A test of the soil should be made to stake sure that it requires 'lints, If the soil proves to be acid then the answer to the question when to apply lime might be 'rwllen you have time." Lime is for the benefit of -all clops in the rotation, but particularly of benefit to legumes,' The best time is possibly just before:sowing a grain erop that is seeded down with alf- alfa or clovers. timing land plowed SARGON IS POWERFUL INVIGORATING TON IG Increase Your BodilyVigor, Ea With a Keen, Hearty Apetite, arid enjoy a New Kind of Sound, Be., fr hin Ta es g Sleep p B y 'Faking Sargon,...

Iarrott, of Brigden, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had become badly infected with worms. We advised him to use 2 lbs. of Royal Purple Poultry Specific in each 100 lbs. of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue throughout the Winter with l lb. After using it for three weeks he wrote us stating that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro- duction had gone up 100%. During the Fall, Winter and Spring months' he pur- chased 600 lbs. of this Poultry Specific. ' We received a letter from him the latter part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during August, of this year hie production, was 100% larger than last year. It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mixes his own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys theworms, it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if theywere onrange, compelling t em to take from 15 % to 20% more good from ed inc•rea9 the feed they eat. This is naturally reflected in egg Production.. Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. The birds become very thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea.
