France is one of the greatest timber importing countries of Europe. Over $30,000,000 were paid in 1906 by this country for wood brought in frora oth- er countries. American and European. This includes over $20,000,000 worth of wood (mostly pine) used ler builds ing purposes, and $000,000 for mine props alone. The great amount of wood used for paper pulp and a few' minor purposes brings the total: up to the thirty' million dollars. On this timber another $10,000,009 was paid in freight -mostly to other countries, for the French flag is flown by only about ten per cent, of the ships in which this wood is carried.

Salt meat, eggs and potatoes were the staple edibles after bread. Fresh Meat, in country parts, was at some seasons a comparative luxury. Veal was obtainable in spring, mutton in summer, and beef .or pork in the fall and winter months, while poultry was generally marketed as soon as possible after the fattening stubbles were ex- hausted. .

They cover an area of over 23,500,000 acres. Of this a little over a ninth (2,707,000 acres) is in the bands of the state, and is very care- fully managed. Over n seventh of the area (3,472,000 acres) is under the control of the departments and coup munes and is not so carefully looked after. The rest is in private hands and often large tracts are sold to speculators and recklessly cut, every, thing of value being taken off them. This state of affairs demonstrates the wisdom -of the course pursued in almost' the whole of Canada, namely, keeping the ownership of the foreste in the hands of the crown, so. that• the Dominionand the different Pro. vincial Governments may have the power to make regulations for the cutting, with the result that practical- ly all of the forests maybe so treata ed as ' to give continuous crops of wood and become a permanent asset of the people. • Canada at present is one of the f evs countries in the world that ean export timber, having a surplus over that required -for its own rise.
