REPORT OF TEE DIRECTOR 107 



SESSIONAL PAPER No. 16 



During the year the water system has been completed, and this has given excel- 

 lent satisfaction. Although the main is small, when worked within its capacity it 

 frives one hundred pounds of pressure. All the Farm buildings were painted, and the 

 , >erintendent's house and Foreman's cottage were repaired; an ice-house was also 

 built. Late in the fall, the erection of a boarding-house was begun; this, at the time 

 of writing, is not completed, but, when finished, it will be one of the Farm's most 

 valuable assets. It will hold from ten to twenty mem and is being well equipped. 



Chief among the implements purchased this year is a corn-planter and also a 

 corn-binder, both of which gave excellent satisfaction; the planter, in particular, 

 paying more than one-half the purchase price in saved labour this season.
