Perhaps one of the boldest ex- periments that have been made on the Mainland was the poultry farm started by Mr. Pak Son Chan at Fanling. Inspired by the belief that there was a demand in 'the Colony for large, fresh eggs, Mr. Chan purchased a large plot of land near the main road and im- ported at considerable expense a quantity of pure-bred fowls and cockerels from Canada. Fortunate- ly the experiment turned out successfully, largely owing to the fact that Mr. Chan bnd studied poultry farming in the United States and was acquainted with the scientific methods of feeding, care and rearing of chickens as practis- ed there and in Canada. The cost. of laying-out the land and erecting runs and fowl houses would have disheartened many who believe that quick money is to be made out of A poultry-farm, but in the end patience and conscientiousness earn ed their own reward and Mr. Chan is now in the fortunate position of having more orders for Sunny, Farni eggs than he can supply.
There is no reason why others should not follow his example and experiment with the rearing of poultry and livestock, since so long as their prices compare reasonably with those of imported produce, there is no question but that a ready market exists for meat and poultry of good quality. Piga ara reared by the villagers in a de sultory manner but no one, except, of course, the Dairy Farm, has ever attempted to breed foreign piga on a large scale. Many years ago sheep were introduced to Lan Tao Island by an enterprising business man, but the scheme was not pro fitable since the animals were un- able to exist on the coarse, grass which grows on the local hills. It is likely that if special grass was cultivated sheep would thrive as well in this Colony us in other parts of the world where the climate is loss equable, but the experiment would be too costly for most people to attempt..
Whether cabarets should be allowed to carry on in the Colony on moral grounds, does not, for the noment, concern us. It is sufficient to say that there are two schools of thought on the question. Those who are for the enbarets. sce in them no more than a harmless formo of anusement for the younger set in an otherwise dull Colony. Those against the cabarets forçaec many evils arising out of the coming of cabarets. The authorities, at a recent meeting of the Legislative Council, have stated that regula tions were being drawn up to govern the conduct of enbarets. Two months have now.elapsed but there are still no signs of the new

regulations. Meanwhile, mora cabarets have come into existence, while the number of dancing "in- structresses must have almost doubled since questions about the cabarets were raised in the Legis lative Council.
While there can be no question that some of the enbareta are very properly conducted (in the absence of regulations) there is no denying the fact that any further delay in promulgating and enforcing some sort of control will lead to abuses.
A recent prosecution revealed that at one of the establishments that liquor could be obtained. No doubt the new regulations wil show just what kind of "refresh menta" cau be sold to patrons of mbarets. The strongest ground for complaint, however, is the frict that enbarets have been permitted to come into business in residential areas. The trouble, and inconvent ence caused to those who have the misfortune of living near a cabaret can well be imagined! On the principle of "Live and let live," we should tolerate the cabarets but the least that the authorities can do for the community is to see that they do not interfere with the slembers of those who have to work by day. Cabarets exist in every Hong Kong let the authorities con- city and if we are to have them in
