the Liberal Government under Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the polls on Sept.2lst, a Conservative Government under the leadership of Hon.R.-I.Borden will now administer the affairs of Canada.It is generally conceded that the new (Cabinet is a strong one, containing as it does many members who have already shown their capacity for administration.However, there are several untried members who have yet to show their fitness for the responsible positions entrusted to them.The portfolio of Agriculture, so long and ably held by Hon.Sydney Fisher, is now given to the Hon.Martin Burrell of British Columbia, one of the untried members of the new Cabinet.For the sake of agriculture, and the welfare of this great agricultural country, we sincerely hope that Mr.Burrell will measure up to the standards his predecessors in office.The qualifications of the minister of Agriculture are not generally known.He has for many years been a practical fruit-grower \u2014both the Niagara district of Ontario and in British Columbia \u2014 and as such should he familiar with the needs of this important and growing industry.Fruit-growers of new in \u2014 THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTUR | | A generally will therefore welcome his ment of valuable machinery always a part of the \u2018\u2018 Agricultural Survey entrance into the Cabinet.His interest in, and knowledge of, the great branches of agriculture, \u2014namely, Live Stock and Dairying \u2014 are, however, yet to be revealed.Live stock men should not be too ready to find fault with the new appointment, inasmuch as they bave had for fifteen years a Minister who has been specially interested in Live Stock and Dairying.It is but fair that Fruit-Growers should now have their innings.Mr.Burrell\u2019s record has been one of although it must in the House steady progress, be said that his experience has been rather short.He has shown himself to be a vigorous debater and critic, displaying a thorough knowledge of the matters discussed in Parliament.The \u2018\u2018 Journal of Agriculture \u201d\u2019 believes that the new Minister of Agriculture will make good, and it will do everything in its power to promote any measures he brings forward which will aid in the development of Agriculture.THE CARE OF FARM MACHINERY It is too frequently the case that farm implements and machinery lie out summer and winter exposed to all kinds of weather, the sun and the rain, to the heat and the cold.Surely everybody knows that such treat- involves a heavy loss.Many of the iron and steel parts never work as \u2018smoothly after they have once been rusted.The parts of the machine fit \u2018more loosely; there is more play and hence greater wear.Bolts and \"screws snap, and long before the natural life time of the machine it| is consigned to the junk-heap or sold for scrap.Wooden parts are also badly aifected by changes of temperature and moisture, for they soon warp and go to pieces.November is a good time (if not done before) to put away under cover the machinery that has been used during the summer.The shed or cover should be dry, and the delicate parts of the machine should be rubbed and oiled before putting away.Every farmer should have a good implement shed or barn where he can store his buggies, reapers, mowers, plows, etc., whenever they are not in use.EXposure to the weather does more harm to machinery of all kinds than the actual use of them in the tields.Machinery agents make money out of the careless farmer, for new parts must soon be bought to replace the broken ones, and the misused machines are exchanged for new ones nt a great sacrifice.Then, too, the element of lost time is a most important consideration.Breaks occur most frequently of course when the farmer\u2019s time is most valuable The prudent business-like farmer looks after his implements and machines most carefully, for he knows that they are costly, and that he cannot afford to replace them frequently and at the same time make farming profitable.EDUCATION AND PROFITS Among farmers, as among business men, there exists much difference of opinion as to whether any education more than the most pays as a preparation particular line of work.rudimentary for their The number of instances upon which men base their judgment is necessarily limited by the range of their observation.Unless one has made ga special study of the question one is likely to base one\u2019s conclusion upon a few striking instances.Having once expressed or even formed an opinion one way or the other, one is apt to be ever after prejudiced, to be blind to the instances that are out of accord with one\u2019s own opinion, and to see only those which lend support to it, or to look at both through colored glasses.lt is only by the impartial study o! a large number of instances that really reliable conclusions can be reached.Such a study we now have.It covers several townships of the county in which Cornell University is situated.This comparison of the profits of farmers of only district school education with those \u2018who have had a higher education formg of Tompkins County, made by the \u2018Department of Farm Management of \u2018the Cornell University College of Agriculture, to which we have made previous reference.Not only were the investigators who conducted thie extensive economic survey \u2019\u2019 able to examine a larger number of cases than ordinarily come within the ken \u2018of individuals, but they were favored , with more confidential information than men commonly give out to | their neighbors.These investigators were therefore in good position to \u2018get at the real truth and to give \u2018an absolutely reliable answer to the question \u2018\u2018Does education pay for tre farmer?\u2019 The answer is positive phatic.It \u2018\u2018does pay'\u2019\u2019 a farmer , and em- to have education above that of the common school.The comparison is made un the basis of \u2018\u2018labor income\u2019\u2019.By this is meant the net earnings of the farm after allowance has been made fcr unpaid labor and for 5 per cent interest on the capital invested in the farm.If a farmer\u2019s labor income for any year is $500, he has by his year\u2019s work made 5 p.c.on his capital, and has in addition cleared $500 above all farm expeascs, tesides having the use of a house end such of the farm prodnce as was consumed by the household.Of 573 farmers of Tompkins County, owners of their farms, 398 had received only a district school education, while the other 175 had received more than a iistrict school education, Most of the latter had attended high school.Ten bad been to college.Only three or four of these had received any agricultural instruction whatever in the schools or colleges.Now while the average labor income of the 58 district school farmers was i318 a year, the average labor income of the 165 high school farmers was $622 \u2014 or $304 better.The invastiza- tors point out that this would be 5 per cent interest on $6080, In ciher words a high school education has the same value to a fariner as $6000 worth of 5 per cent bonis.The few college-educated farmers that came within the purview of the investigation gave a good account of themselves.The ten averaged $847 annual labor income \u2014 which is $225 better than the high school men and $529 better than the district school men.But the number of instances of this kind is too small to justify such a definite estimate of the money-making value of a college education as we may unhesitatingly make in regard to the high school education.To make sure that the superior earning capacity of the better educated men was not due to their having had at the outset any financial advantage \u2014 such as inheriting property \u2014 comparisons were made of the average labor incomes of \u2018\u2018district school \u201d\u201d and \u2018\u2018 more than district school\u2019\u2019 farmers of equal capital.In every instance the more highly educated farmers had the higher - \u2018 ne soni, THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE 93 average labor incomes.For example, of the farmers with $2000-$4000 capital, those with only.district school training averaged $241 labor income, and those with a higher education $275; and of those with $10,000 to $15,000 labor income the district school men made an average of $525 and the \u2018\u2018more than district school\u2019\u2019 men $1,091.In other words, given an equal start at the beginning of the year the better educated farmers are ahead at the end of the year.Parents of boys who are going to farm should ponder these things.It costs much less to give the boy a high school education than to give him $6,000 in bonds or farm property.The two are of equal value in Tompkins County, New York, and no doubt of nearly equal value in Quebec.To give him a two year course in agriculture costs under present conditions in this Province less than $250.Such a course is without doubt worth more to him than a high school education without agricultural training, and therefore worth more than $6,000.In addition to its money value the education ensures him a broader, richer life.Could parents make any better investment ?THE DRAINAGE SURVEY WORK Dr.Lynde, the Professor of Physics of Macdonald College, has received many applications for assistance in planning farm drainage systems this year.He has completed the survey of a considerable number of farms, but limitations of time and assistance have prevented his attending to all the applications that have come to him.The remainder will receive attention in the spring.Meantime we would advise all others who will want aid in this line in the spring to send in their applications without delay.The only outlay involved is the payment of the travelling expenses of the drainage adviser at the rate of 1 cent a mile each way and board whole on the job.Application forms may be obtained of the Department of Physics, Macdonald College P.O., P.Q.PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURE.Minutes of a meeting of the Quebec Council of Agriculture
