KNOW THE AGE OF YOUR
Dami:u
by W. H. Cantelon. Assistant Fish
& Wildlife Inspector, OWV11 Sound
Many hunters use the antler meth-
od of judging the age of their deer.
In other words each prong on the
antler or rack of the deer is counted
as one year's growth.
This method is not accurate, in
fact in some instances the laint‘e:
may be out on his calculathins by
two or three years or even more.
The old method used to indev the
age of domestic animals ,•an ap,
plied to tell the age of big game
animals such as deer or moose. Re-
placement and wear of the animal's
teeth are the major components
used in this aging method.
For the purpose of judging age
the deer may be divided into two
major groups; those under two
years of age and those above that
age. The main factor here is the
presence or absence of the deciduous
(baby) teeth, and the deg:ce to
which these teeth have oeen replac-
ed by permanent ones.
At the age of up to five months
the deciduous pincers (two middle
teeth) situated to the front of the
lower jaw are lost and are replaced
by permanent pincers. With the
permanent pincers fully visible at
six to ten months the lateral and
corner incisors are still deciluous
teeth and will be replaced during the
tenth or eleventh month.
The incisor teeth cannot be used
to judge the age of a deer that is
over twelve months but a study of
premolars and molars with respect
to grind or wear on one tooth com-
pared to two more in line along the
jaw will give one the information he
seeks.

WOODLOT WISDOM
The tall Sugar Maple had just
been felled and was being cut up
into saw logs when the Forester
came upon the scene.
The woodlot owner and crew were
busy that week felling sonic of the
larger trees which they thought
were ready to be cut and sold. There
was no urgency to do this cutting,
but the owner felt that it was wise
to fell some of the big ones at this
time.
The owner showed the tree just
felled to the Forester and remarked
on the quality and quantity of lum-
ber that the logs would yield. The
Forester agreed, but on examining
the tree stump noticed that the tree
had been growing at a very fast rate
as was indicated by the width of the
annual rings.
It was plain to see that this tree
had put on two inches of diameter
growth in the last five years. This
meant that the tree which measured
24 inches in diameter when cut had
measured 22 inches five years ago.
Within that period its volume had
increased more than 25,q, and the
tree had earned more than two dol-
lars per year for its owner.
When this fact was made known
to the owner he regretted having cut
the tree, but was grateful that the
Forester had brought this fact to his
attention and assured him that the
same mistake would not be made
again in his woodlot.
Your Zone Forester is ready to give
advice on care and management of
the Farm Woodlot and can help the
owner realize more revenue from,
these areas.

way of doing it without spending any

White Man Returns is a sympath-
etic and sensitive story of the rela-
tionships between a devoted white
family and the Chinese, the Indians,
the Muruts and the Eurasians whom
the Keiths in so many ways have
tried to help. But above all it is a
record of the author's own growth in
human beings the world over.

life was spent in the West, including
six years on the Prairies. For the past
twenty-five years his home has been
in Toronto.
Canada mid its affairs have been
his theme for thirty years. He is no
arm chair authority, but has seen
Canada from the Pacific to the At-
lantic, and 'from the. United States
border to the Yukon, Although inter-
ested in Canada as a whole, the Far
North holds a special attraction for
him. Ho has written a biography of
the explorer, Villijalmur Stefensson,
and in 1924 was himself a member of
an Arctic expedition.
He believes that geography plays a
much more important part in the des-
tinies of people than is generally real-
ized. Among other things, he has
written the text of a school geography
as well as most of the Canadian sec-
tion of the "Encyclopedia Arctica,"
and in each case his style is clear.
Both the specialist and the general
reader can find much of interest and
value in what he writes.
14r. LeBourdais is not content mere-
ly to give a geographic description of
Canada. Having an intense faith in
the possibilities of Canada and its
people he applies that faith to his
knowledge of the Canadian scene and
arrives at the conclusion that Sir
Wilfred Laurier could very easily
be right in his prediction that the
twentieth century would belong to
Canada.

WINDS OF MORNING
by H. L. Davis
The immense vitality of this novel
is probably the result of three things:
first, H, L. Davis is an acknowledged
master story-teller; second, he writes
here about a section of America
which he has known and loved all his
life—the Middle Columbia River coun-
try of the Northwest; third, the char-
are his own contemporaries acters
and their story has the immediacy ,of
events which have been personally
experienced.
Amos Clarke. a hot-headed sheriff's
assistant, tellS this story. It starts
with an accidental killing. Complica-
tions arise and Amos is sent away to
help an old herder move his horses
into open country. The story of that
trip is the story of Winds of Morning.
1
of a generation of Americans who
Old Hendricks, the horse herder, is
were young when the country still
was young, He has seen it change--
the wide country narrowing to the
minds of a new generation. As he
and Amos drive slowly north, Hen-
dricks gradually raveals the old pas-
sions of some of the early settlers,
like himself, whose violent problems
have yet to be resolved.
Amos sees the country with the
fresh, curious eyes of youth. Between
them is the sympathy of two men
meeting at opposite ends of life, re-
specting each other and learning from
each others
This rich central relationship ex-
tends to the minor characters of the
book, who are among the most color-
ful that H. L, Davis has yet created.
The author's descriptions of wild-
life, of the horses and of the country
itself give his writing a steady
strength. And his sense of humor is
1 a hearty delight. As Malcolm Cowley
said of Honey in the Horn, this is a
ibook that is "earth-stained, colt-wild
and nproarlous."
I WHITE MAN nil:TURNS
by Agnes Newton Keith
To the many thousands of readers
of Land Below the Wind and Three
Caine Home. Agnes Newton Keith's
new book will be as welcome as the
return of an old friend. We have all
been waiting for this book, which tells
how, after their release from a Japan-
ese prison camp and their recupeta-
tion in Canada, Mrs. Keith, her hus-
band and her young son returned to
the shattered colony in North Borneo,
"You know," writes Mrs. Keith, "I
was afraid to come back here, but
since being here again I realize that I
love this country, and feel very deeply
about the people." Events in the East,
since she completed the writing of
this book, have only served to em-
phasize the importance of what she
has to tell us.
Mrs. Keith writes as a woman, as a
wife and a mother, and her new book
is purely a personal experience story,
as intimate and revealing as Land
Below the Wind and Three Came
Home. With her fine flair for detail
and her keen sense of humor, she
writes of how her husband, before he
has fully recovered from the effects
of captivity, goes back to help with
the reconstruction of North Borneo in
1946. Of how she and young George,
when they were able to travel again,
join him in Hong Kong. Of how they
discovered the fabulous Chinese cook,
Ah San. And of how, on their arrival
in Sandakan, within sight of the ruins
of their old home, they settled down
in a native hut to regain the confi-
dence of the Muruts and to repair the
destruction of the war.
Mrs. Keith tells of old friends who
came back out of hiding after the
Japanese had gone. She tells us of
young George in a Mission School,
