practically composed of non-drink-

In the lodges debates, spelling

But these lodges did other work.
In studying the whole question they
found that licenses wer granted to
men to sell drink in connection with
a grocery store or a post office,
that there were too many hotels for
the accommodation of the travelling
public, that the hours for selling
drink were too long.
To illustrate the hold the hotel “Last May I had a very severe

“Various medicines gave me very

Neuritis, like rheumatism, lum
bago and sciatica, is oftexx caused by
needle-pointed uric acid crystals,
which form as the result of sluggish
eliminating organs. Kruschexx helps
to convert those crystals into a
harmless solutioix which is removed
through the natural channels.

there were seven licensed to sell

In the late 70’s the so-called
Crooks Act, named after its spon
sor, Hon. Adam Crooks, reduced the
number of licensed houses by over
2,000. The Scott Act in the 80’c,
although not greatly effective, was
an educator and many gave up their
habit of imbibing.
The local option law in this cen
tury again reduced the number of
licenses.
Hotels have almost disappeared
in farming communities as a res’ult
of years of agitation and different
forms of legislation.

Cutting the Fuelwood
By I. C, MftwTtt
The late .fall and early winter
is the ideal season for cutting the
fuelwood. The weather is cool but
not cold. There is little snow on
the ground and this facilitates walk
ing and working in the woods. Fall
en trees and branches can, be picked
up and piled.
The question of what trees to cut
should be given cardful considera
tion, and if the owner is not doing
th work he should mark the trees
to be cut. Some woodlot owners
make a practice of blazing the trees
to be removed before the leaves fall
as it is much easier to pick out the
trees that are dead and dying than
when the le’aves are off. The value
of the woodlot 20, 50 years hence
will depend largely on the method
and care that is taken now,The cut
ting of the fuelwood may be utiliz
ed as a means of improving growing
conditions. In many cases the
woodlot may be left in better condi
tion for future growth because all
trees, even if partially decayed, may
be utilized for fuel.
Examples
1. Thin a 20 acre second growth
stand rather than clear out a small
area each year. The result of this
management will be a much more
valuable property 25 - 50 years in
the future. If the stand is valuable
species such as pine, white ash amd
sugar maple, the timber would be
worth $2,000.00 — $3,000.00, while
if it had been clear cut the value
would be only a few hundred dol
lars. The crooked, defective wood
anct dead trees would be removed
while the healthy, straight ones
would be left to grow into- valuable
timber.
2. Cut decayed trees rather than
sound healthy ones.
In many instances more wood is
decaying on a tree each year than is
being produced. In other words,
the trees is decreasing in value.
3. Select large mature trees rath
er than healthy medium Trees 4”—
15” in diameter are vigorous and
will put on more growth usually than
the larger sized trees. By following
this practice an owner will approach
the ideal which is to grow -the maxi
mum of valuable wood per acre.
4. Remove trees that ode interef-
ering with and holding back' saplings
and young 'trees that liaVe started
beneath them.
5. Do not cut valuable timber in
to fuelwood.
