h d the pleasure of looking over. the proprietor gave me every oppor- tunity to learn at first-hand his methods. This farm was situated within 25 miles of a prosperous manufacturing town where the poo- ple work hard and needed good strong food. The fann had 5.000 laying hens, producing an average of 4,000 eggs daily for the month". of November. December, January, February and March: for April. May and June the average produc~ tion was 3.000 eggs daily; while Julv. August, September and October,

The average daily cgg production

gcvemmenls and ll- we are w be“ for the year was nearly 3.000; while.

the average production per hen “TF5-

lslightly over 200 eggs annually.

This man's system of marketinx was quite interesting. He had a grading system, perhaps one of his which consisted of “selects? No. 1's and 2's. Each day's egg-l. while being graded, were stamped according to grade, and when lav- ed, and tiii- name of the Farm. These were then packed in small cartons containing one dozen and then packed "in cases containing from fifteen dozen to sixty dozen of the one dozen cartons. This was done for the convenience of the rc- taiier. . I-Iis system of culling his hcns was carefully done in October. poor producers did notget a sec- ond year, while very few remained for the third year. The annual gross return from this Farm was

views on P. E. Island's rights. pcricncc to hear or road a speech that contained sc many words and so few ideas. It seems to mo, on study of the speech, that the Gov- ernment ill preparing it had ell- deavoured to cover as large o. terri- tory as possible .without issuing any direct challenge that might be ac- cepted to test their sincerity.

As it is the first production of the new government I take the oppor- tunity of congratulating Prelnlfl Saunders on his assumption of the duties of the office and feel sure that he is the very best choice tho party could have made from the material at their command.

‘Passing to the question of Educn- . tlon, l may say that the informn-l ticn gleaned about thc Govern-l mom's attitude theroiie is infinites- imal. We are told that three in-l specfors are to be added. and this, lls only replacing the three whom the Conservative Government ap- pointed and had to ivithdrnw when the Dominion Government with» drew their Agricultural Grant. Wit!" the increased subsidy that the gov- ernment now has. the least‘ they could do was to replace those ill- spectors which the withdrawal of. the subsidy caused to bc removed. lBut nothing is llifflliilSfld with regalcl to increased remuneration for our teachers.
