Mlamanagement at Falconwood Farm. resulting in losses estimated at upwards of $20,000 which should be saved to the taxpayers, was the lheme of criticism by Mr. George Barbour. Second Prince, in the Budget debate on Tuesday, and yesterday afternoon two other '.ar- mer of the legislature- Mr. N. D. MacKay and J. Walter Jones. look up the cudgels.

Mr. MlscKay declared that if he fed his hogs the way they are fed on the Ilulconwood Farm he wouldn't eilpect them to thrive very well. Later in the afternoon Mr. Jones went vigorously after the government in connection with Fa. conwood Farm expenses.

Mr. Jones complained that he had been called on sudden notice to “pinch hit" till another member was “well pNDll-ed" to go ahead in the debate. He had not in- tended to speak. but he woud try to “fill in" until the other gentle- man was ready to ‘come to but."
