To such as the sufi'ragettes it is intolerable that man should deem himself “lurrl of creation." But literally the Word “lord" means loaf prmidcr. just aslady means loaf (listenser.

The work of the Experimental Rum and Agricultural College is gradual i1; being absorbed by the agricultural : community, and the material prosperity 1 oi the province is being improved. Ex- f cellent results have been brought about through the medium of the Farmers l ‘ Institutes, and many branches of agricul ? ture have been greatly advanced, to the * benefit of the farmers. The Womens’ jInstitutes are also accomplishing some .’ little good, not exactly in the same direc 3 tion as Mens Institute, but they are as‘ f sisting to make the farm home more icomfortable, to help the house wife in Elisr multitudinous duties, and making the utmost out of the revenue that the farm produces. Whether in town, vill‘ , age or on the farm, no matter what the E bread winner may do or how successful l he may be, the making of the home ‘ i is in the hands of the Women. ', So farthe Agricultural Department has : given its attention to the production of l i dollars and cents, but the time has arriv 5 ed, at least in the older parts of the ‘ ' Province, when improvement may fairly 1 ; be looked for in beautifying the farxnl : and the farm house.
