If anything impresses the overseas visitor in travelling through agricul tural Great Britain and Buropb1 it is almost universal attention to de tail on the farm, the development of what we are pleased to call the °side issues” and the caref.ul system of culture. We could not, if we would, advantageously, adopt the same painstaking methods, but we can assuredly come vastly nearer to it than we are doing and to the ever lasting advantage of everybody con cerned. There cannot be any rea sonable doubt about that. It is quite true that people did not come to Canada from overseas with the idea of grubbing along in the same nar-! row way they had done at home, but it is equally true that we have all gone f\’0m one extreme to the other. We are apt to regard with contempt the smaller sources of farm revenue. We have acquired the habit of think ing only in terms of hundreds of acres and thotisands of bushels when we should give serious thought to dozens of eggs. On the European farm, tho smaller revenue sources form the mainstay of farm economy. They live on what we waste. I fim now speaking generally and not in dividually. The most careful tillage of the land is a necessity forced upon the people there. Without it there is no crop. Throughout Canada agricultural object lessons -stare one straight in the face wherever one goes. Thirty bushels to the acre on one side of tho road and not worth cutting on the other. The free translation of this means, summer-fallow on one side and stubble crop on the other. And not alone summer-fallow, but good summer-fallow, completed Avithin the proper season and kept clear of weeds. And I am pleased to record the opinion, that the lesson has sunk into the minds of the farmers with a vengeance. It is commented on wherever farmers meet together. The contrast between good and -bad farming this year is so obvious that it cannot be misunderstood. While we are only having a fair crop year, the aggregate return to the Westsrn farmer is going to be enormous. He has absorbed a lesson which could only be learned through experience. The past unfavorable years have weeded out the weak brethren on our Canadian farms. Those men who remain are of the type upon whom this year's lesson will not be lost.__ __ .... .. -... Wood Lot Furnishes Important Annual Crop Few farmers realize the potential value of a ..possible income from a /well-located wood lot. The reason (for this is probably because that, while they appreciate the shelter and convenience of tho wood lot, they do not understand that it can be mad-o to yield a direct profit year by year just like any other crop. The last census showed that the total value of forest products pro duced from the Canadian farm wood lots was $72,000,0-00. Compare^ to other farm products this was: over 11 per cent, of all grain crops; over -82 per cent, of all forage crops; nearly three times the value of all fruit crops; and greater than the to tal value of the egg production. It might also be pointed out that about one-third of the pulpwood used in Canadian pulp mills comes from farmers’ and settlers’ holdings. The wood lot properly handled can be made to provide shelter for stock, gardens and buildings, and to yield a perpetual crop of considerable va riety, namely, firewood, fencing, lum ber pieces and frames ior machinery, pumps, wagons, etc., maple syrup and sugar products, -a variety of edible nuts and in some instances products of medicinal value. It is estimated by one well-known author ity that the average farmer makes use normally of about 2,000 pieces of lumbei? each year. If this is not grown on the place, it has to be pur chased and often enough freight paid to have it delivered. A wood lot of 20 acres, properly handled, will provide all the fuel need on the farm for all time. It will provide fuel, fence-posts and timber and will leave a surplus to be disposed of at a profit. The inclu sion of a few maple and suitable varieties of nut trees means an add ed asset which may be annually ■ uti lized at the owner’s will. Trees grow quite successfully on land that is not suitable for other forms of agricul ture, and timber crops know no failures. They are not subject to the price fluctuations of food crops, and their maintenance can almost be looked upon in the light of a national duty.

English-speaking people have J B often remarked the lack with commi-, seration. But now the phrase "le home” is ap< pearing In French newspapers as a caption f-or domestic and women's news and in advertisements of depart ment and furniture stores. At first it was used in quotation marks, but, hav ing successfully passed that probation stage, it appears on an equal footing with any French word—home, just like that. If we had had to get along without home when France adopted it there would have been some prompt and vigorous objections. We could no more dispense with the word than with what It stands for. But, fortunately, there is plenty of home to go around, and the more the word is used, the bet ter.

That the smile is mightier wan the frown, and "Do” a far better soldier than "Don’t,” is a lesson which most reformers are sadly in need of learn ing. It is easier to scold than to in spire, but only the inspirers lead for ward and win humanity's battles. Words of warning are needful, but when prolonged into lectures of pes simism they defeat their purpose by driving the audience away or putting it to sleep. Take the matter of conversation. The country was impressed when told that its natural resources were being destroyed and wasted so rapid!.? that ruin would result unless there was a change for the better. But after that had been dinned into our ears for a decade, we would have preferred to let fate do its worst than listen longer to the prophets of despair. The effective conservationists are those who, leaving the negative for positive lines of thought, bid us feast our imagination on the glorious pros-' pects in preserving and increasing the treasures with which nature has en dowed our land. . .

Professor Bergins, of Heidelberg, has reduced coal to a paste, and com bined it with hydrogen at. a very high temperature and pressure.
