Tb.e War Cabinet works on a plan unknown to Constitution and unlike any other Cabinet, although other democracies have adopted the Lloyd. George• sys- tem with variations. There is no statesman less tied to routine than the present prime Minister„ nor one more ready to adopt new methods. His 'Cabinet is not the result of profound study; it was create st on the spur of the moment to meet a national emer- gency. Pedants sneered at it, conser- vatives,of all parties predicted its t failure; but the fact is that it has been in existence for over a year, paid it has worked. The system has' been justi- fied and has long eince settled down as a smooth working machine, pro- viding elasticity of scope and facilie ties' for rapid decision—essential in`k war. The War Cabinet censistD of six: Mr. Lloyd George, Premier and Pres- Ident; Mr. Bonet Law, Lord Curzon, Lord Milner, Mr. Barnes, and General -Smuts. It is imperial and democratic in type and sentiment. Mr. Lloyd , George represents the small and Arlie nationality of Wales. Mr. Boner Law IS a Caandian by birth and a Scotartian by race; he also stands. for _business, through which he graduated to; poli- tics. Lord Curzon is the English Im- perialist, with a profound knowledge of political history and an intimate acquaintance with Eastern peoples and problenis. Lord Milner also repree Sents the imperialist school, peihaps an a .wider degree than Lord Curzon. Mr. Barnes is..a Scotsman from Glas- gow and stands for Labor. General pintas is the most versatile- member of the group; a South African Dateht Mane a great soldierdisting-.uished a- like in the South African War, where he fought to defend the rights '.of a email nationality, and, in the present war, standing for the Empire and hu - inanity against world military- domi- nationCe, statesman who is still a member of the Unionist Goveriunent of . South Africa; a scholar carrying high academic honors from 'Cam- bridge; and also a great lawyer. That, he is found working in timeradeship with. Lord „Milner is one of theeliap.7 ,piest stributes to the unifying influen- ces of the war. i. Excepting Mr. Bohar Law, the:ment- bers are occupied solely with their Cabinet ditties. He is charged with Jotlier heavy ,responsibilities, • being- -',Leatlede of the House ;as Welt as; Chan - Cellar of the Exchequer. , How does this Cabinet systern ;work? Unlike any other British Celli i• fliet.11 To begin with, the Cabinet ;meets almost every morning at 11.30 ,and continues until 1.45. Sometimes it meets again in the afternoon. El - Eliminating Sundays, it may 'al- so he said that there are meetino practically eevry day. Like a board of directors, the War Cabinet, whieh carries such vast responsibilities, has an agenda of business, consisting of twelve or more subjects for discussion at every meeting. Meetings are not confined, except on rare occasions, to members of the Cabinet. The per- sonnel changes according to the sub- jects discussed. A question of food, for instance, as an item on the. agenda ,would mean the presence, not only of the Food Controller, the Shipping Con- „ roller, and the President of the Board ,.f o_ Trade, but also of their respective experts, This system of having ex- perts as well as Ministers at meetings is quite an innovation. An official who has made a suggestion or drawn up a memorandum would be present to stand crosseexaminatiou on his scheme; he would speak direct, instead of through his _Ministerial chief. ; By this system all possible information is obtained, without the red tapeof offi- cialism, and deeisionstaken without delay. Investigations are not only thoreugh, but speedy. The Cabinet hasits own secretaries. They • are a large staff, and work at the offices of the War Cabinet, 2. Whitehall Gardens. The chief secre- taries attend the Cabinet meetings to make a record of the proceedings. The first secretary is Colonel Sir Maurice Hankey, who was formerly secretary to the Committee of Imperial Defense. An assistant secretary was Until re- cently General Swinton, who was the first "eye -witness” to write reports from the front, before war corespondl, ,ents were acknowledged.. He is also known as the author of the wonderful book of war stories, "The Green Curve," written after his experiences in the South African War. Other as-! sistant secretaries to the War Cabi- net include Colonel Dally -Jones, Mr. Longhurst, Commander Row, and sev- eral others. The secretaries -take their turn; as they are experts in dif, ferent branches of the work. There 'are also two Parliamentary secretar- ies; Colonel Sir Mark, Sykes, M.P., and Colonel Amery, M. P ., They are not necessarily in attendance on the Cab- inet; their function is, to prepare of- ficial memoranda from all sources of intelligence and to present them for the, information of the Cabinet. Sir Mark Sykes is one of the great- est axperts on Eastern questions. The secretarieS of the War Cabinet draw up the agenda of business, keep the minutes of the proceedings, and see that the decisions arrived at are car- ried out. Complete rain.utes are cir- culated to members of the War Cabi- net, and all portions of the record re- ferring to particUlar Goyernment 'de- partments are sent to the responsible Ministers. There is another secretariat attach- ed to the Prime Minister and they oc- cupy offices in temporary buildings pa the garden of No. 10 Downing street, There are five of these -gentlenien: MT.

His breakfasts, luncheons, and dinners are all matters of business.Vis- -itorls whom he is unable to see during the day and whom he Wishes to meet are invited to early breakfast or aunch. He occasionally ,goes to his .residence at Walton Heath during the week; but he is at Downing. Street next morning for 915 breakfast. On two days �f the week he goes out to breakfast ; at one house to meet his Liberal and Labor colleaguhs, and at another he meets his Qtaaservative colleagues. During the week end, which is now narrowed down to from Saturday afternoon till Monday morn- ing, he devotes his time partly to reading official reports, discussing business with visitors, and handing out werk to his secretaries. He is never alone, and he is never idle. He frequently returns to London for meetings on Saturday and Sunday. He has littlttime'for general reading; he prefers the human book.

THE .CULTIVATION OF SOME 'VEGETABES MOST DIFFICULT TO GROW. Cauliflower, although one of th'e most delicious vegetables, is one of the hardest to grow in many parte of Canada. It damps off easily ind the hot -bed, is often badly .affectedby root maggot and- frequently does not head well. In raising plants, trans - Want them from the seed row, pot or fiat to a distance of about two inches apart eaCh way as soon as possible af- ter the seed germinates. This permits a freer circulation of air between the plants and makes the danger of damp- ening off Much less. Root maggots are bad nearly every year in many places. in Canada and often. -prevent practically all the plants from head- ing. Eggs are laid on the ground near the plant which soon hatch into mag- gots which eat into the roots and thus cut off the supply of sap. To prevent injury from these, a- tar felt disc should be placed around- each ,plant close to the ground 'at the time �f planting. It will be too date other- wise. If the firet planting of cauli- flower is a failure, a second planting should be made, as cauliflowers are much easier to grow in late than in earlier summer as 'the maggots are not so troublesome at that time and there is usually an abundant supply of moisture. If the soil in -0 Which cauliflowers are growing is dry, they will not head well as they need lots of Trioisture and must be kept growing without a cheek from start to fiaish. The onion is another rather difficult vegetable to grow. It requires a long season of, groeetb and veryeoften the seed is eown too late andeif the sum- mer is Cool and wet the onions will not ripen and will run to thiclmecks. The seed should be got in the ground as early as possible in the -pining so that the onions will mature while the warm weather continues, thus ensur- ing a thorough ripening and durhig of the bulbs. To hasten the development of bulbs, especially 'in places • wehre the season is short, young plants are set out instead of the seed being plant- ed. Other sets,- will ensure ged bulbs also where the warm season is short. Root maggots often sio much harrt in the onion pla-ntation. Watering the rows every four or five days with hells eboreand water in the proportion of two ounces of hellebore to one gallon of water While the insects are ellbst troublesome will control., them to a considerable extbit. Except in the warmest parts of Can- ada melons. require -considerable care 4.• Dear Expositor,—Pieaee allow me space for a few lines on the topic of the day: "Food Production and Fciod Saving." To my mind both of these items are a real necessity in these times, and the cry of the farmer for more help is also necessary.' -It is true the boys and girls of the Cellegiate are offering to a0 their bitebut it's men, well developed men, that are really needed on the farms. I would suggest that there are some indistries that we 'could very- well do without for. three or four months and one of -those is the furniture factory. We have been told over and over ‘again that we must have wheatless days and meat- less days and save our food, why not do without luxuries too. Peo- ple could very well live with less fur- nitdre as in olden days. ,and allow the number of men, who are eraployed there to go out on farms, which would be beneficial to thern as well as to the farmer. Try it in Seaforth and show other towns an example. Yours, Win the War. HURON NOTES. —Mr. A.
