all know what u number of articles
there arr which are not quite bad
enough to be thrown into the dust
heap and yet are no good to us. we
put them one side, hoping that
something may turn up, aud as that
something very seldom does turn
up, there they remain.

waste and raise funds by the proper

THE FARM COLONY.
Gen. Bonth advocates small hold
ugs of hand. but the present Object
aud purpose of the colony is stated
in the opening paragraph OF the
chapter under that head AS follows:
Ny present idea is to take an Tn
tate from 500 to 1000 acres Within
reasonable distance of London. II

to the river. 1t should be freehold
land. and 1t should lie mt some con
siderable distance from any town or
village. The reason for the latter

be near London for the sake of our
market and for the transmission Of

4 SKETCH OF THE GENERAL PLAN

J 2. In the preparation of the peO-
pie for the colony.
8. In the arrangements that arr
rendered possible tor the transpor-
lation Of people when prepared.
