UNDERDRAINAGE The Ontario Department of Agriculture has recently issued several bulletins on underdrsinage. 0l'Dil\i\lil1§ in detail the method of preparing the ground, cost of tile, etc., ,_ etc, The results obtained from underdrainage are also 5 given and in these the people of this province will be more deeply interested. These results are given. D0! by the Department of Agriculture, but by the f&i‘l11€l`B Wh0B9 lands had been underdrained. Without going into exhaus- which had previously produced nothing.

The value of the increase was calculated at regular market prices and was found to be $15.69 per acre, including wo cases where no difference was reported. It will be een therefore that the value of the increase in crops drainage would pay for the drains in two years. is ti matter that should be seriously considered farmers. There are many farms, unfortunately too This by the actual net gain ln two years there should hesitation about undertaking the work. We have unlimited quantity suitable for tile; their manu- would give employment to many of our people, their use would add very materially to our produc- suralled criticisms of our contemporary, analysing them. and comparing them with facts. We have proved that from any and every point of view the Mathieson Govern- ment has been a phenomenal success. li’ further proof t nf its success were needed it is to bc found in the leader- less, policyless aggregation that is attempting to foist candidates on unwilling constituencies in the vain hope that somewhere a voice is calling the hungry office-seeker back to power. At Alberton the other day that ancient “has-been," Mr J. H. Bell, whom the Patriot machine brought from his `shclf, dusted and presented to the ‘Liberals of the Fourth District of Prince as good enough l`or them, uttered the pious hope that “a platform ” would "be laid ilowii by the Provincial Liberal party." This is a fine confession to publish abroadi at this late hour. llcre we have candidates assuming thc role ot' Liberals GRIT RULE. \ 1 l Total Ilcbt at December 1911 when Liber- als went out of power $1,072,595.77 Debt in 1801 when Liberals came into power 171,931.99 increase in debt in 20 years under Liberal Administration T Average yearly deficit for 20 years under Liberal Administration 900.668.78 45,033.18 Expciiiled on Capital Account and Perma- nent Works in 20 years under Liberal Administration 218.633-24 Average annual expenditure on Capital Account and Permanent Works under Liberal Adniinistratiun 10,il34,4l.

Larosc, Director of Drawing in the Schools of Westinount, Que., have mainly for their object the teach- U18 Of* drawing in the elementary classes. His course is an exposition of his method-that is, what to teach and how to teach-rather than how to draw. For the acquisition of drawing, skill is a matter of practice and needs more than it few lessons; in fact. suuinier schools have for their iinnie- diate purpose to bring the teacliers` closer together ami permit them to exchange their views so that they may benefit by the experience of those who by special studies and under appropri- ate conditions have improved their methods. In his sphere Prof. Larose has hail iin~experience covering twenty years in the schools of Montreal and West- mount, and has broiight from that ex- perience maiiy valuiible siiggestions. According to lilni drawing is inefll- cient in many schools for three reasons: 1.-The teacher has not had suffi- cieiitiraiiiing. 2.-Models given :irc too diilicult and not griiiliiatcrl. 3.-Those models bought in books coming from :inuthcr country present unknown forms which no not interest thc pupil.
