MODEL ENGLISH FARM
LYNEORD HALT, WELL STOCKED. LONDON, Jan. 28. Ly nford Hall, the college for the training of migrants in farming is equipped with pedigree stock. It has .‘l5O medium white Yorkshire pigs and Romney Marsh sheep, a herd of Kerry cattle, 200 Shorthorn and Hereford bullocks for fattening, and an egg farm stocked with White. Leghorns and Black Orpingtons. It has its own electricity plant. Mr. H. W. Potts, the principal formerly principal of the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, disagrees with Lord Apsley’s idea that students should he trained t.o cook their own meals and mend their own clothes. “That is a woman’s job,” says Mr. Potts. “As these students are taking capital to Australia,’l shall advise them to marry when they have their own farms, and, preferably, to marry Australian wives, who know local conditions.”
