There are ....,ny 8°00 farms in this province, farms as prosperous and an profits-bio, proportionately. mt hre to be found in any of our sister provinces. There are allso poor farms, farms ‘which yield ‘but a scant living to their owners. This is true of every calling in life,Thare are successes and failures wherever We iturn and the sit-rue causes ac- count ifor success or the failure.

In a country like ours, with a soil and weather conditions WIIICJ may be invariably depended upon, where ‘there are no destructive ‘hail- storms, where Ithcre has nevqr been a real scarcity of raln and never on wet season, there should lbe fewer poor farms ‘thant anywhere else in Canada.

W-htlie technical knowledge in the science of agriculture is a. valuable asset and no doubt accountable for many of ourmost prosperous farms, it may bo said, without any dispar- fiscmen-t of spedlallzed agricultural education, ithat. successful farming depends m0re upon practical com- mon sense, lgopd Judgment, prud- ence and economy than upon what is usually called the higher agricul- tural education.

of the shirt collar. It has to do with r. woman who lived a hundred yestle ago and of whom little has been road or heard in all the years since. This woman was a Mrs. Hpnnah Montague, the wife of a blackshulh who lived in Troy, New York. In Mm. Mon-tagu-Fs day while her husband wrought in the forge she contributed toward the maintenance of the household by thing iaujlry work. Atnd ewLry one of the shirts she washed had attached to f-t a collar which was as much an integral part of-tbe shint as was the sleeve.

In that connection Mrs. Montague while a; work gave thought to the fat that the lei. of the shirt re- mained clean much longer than tho collar. No other psnson- appears to have thought of that in any itraotical way-so rare is genius. Mrs. Montague thereupon Invented and began to manufacture for her nr-stomirs the detachable collar which ls everywhere in use today. There were more clean collars aft-
