cooked by steam, and goes to the pig troughs. 

 But every scrap is used. In case of a glut in 

 the fresh fruit market, the perfect fruit also 

 goes to the factory to be dried, to be bottled, 

 or to be pulped for jam. That steadies the 

 market, and saves the fruit farmer from loss of 

 his crop when there is a glut. It shows a 

 practical recognition of the fact that, in the 

 matter of fruit farming, a good system of market- 

 ing and of utilization of by-products is just as 

 important as a good system of culture and 

 pruning. The illustration is a slight one, but it 

 will show my meaning. In that form of agri- 

 cultural education which has to do with the 

 microscope and the bacteriological culture bed, 

 I believe that Great Britain is fairly well ad- 

 vanced. But it is for the training of farm 

 labourers and of small farm masters that there is 

 an almost complete absence of provision ; and 

 another lack is that of steady effort to impress 

 upon young minds a love of the soil. 



To provide cheap credit for the land on a wise 

 CrSdit Fonder system would be probably the 

 best remedy for the lack of good housing, which 

 is one of the symptoms (not one of the causes)
