"Owing to the tremendous value to Ontario as U. future asset to attract totariste every human Ana legal effort alaould be made to preserve Algenquiu Park inviolate. Expropriation preeeecle ings should lee initiete4 and en injunc- tion taken out aa rapidly as possible to prevent further devastation until the questiou. ie settled One way or the other." Dr. Murray McFarlane, Toronto, thus expressed himself to the Netts reporter Ole morning in urging striugent metu. wee to stay the axe of the woodmen who is rapidly defacing the beauty of that great preserve. He has just return. eel from the park and reports that the lumbermeit are beginning to cut the hardwood on Cache Lake, at the rangers" headquarters., where the hotel is situat. ed, threaterung to transform, what he considers oue of the greatest beauty apots on. the continent, into a Beene of desolation. Dr. afea'aelane says Mr. Coch- rane, the Minister of Mines, Lauds and Forests, is personally desirous of caving tiee... park, but finds himself confronted by old licenses held by the lumbermen. A NATIONAL PARK. "Some years ago," continued the doc. tor, "the late Hon. Mr, Hardy, when Premier, having in view the interests of posterity, set BA& as a national peek for the people of Ontario, a big arca north of Muskoka, practically 80 milea square, covered by almost virgin forests, and eontaining over 1,000 lakes embody, ing some of the most magnificent seen. ery in America, the intention bebag to preserve some of the head waters of the rivers, which take their rise in that re- gion, such as the Madawaska and oth- ers, and make a game preserve where all wild animals of a harmless nature might, find sanctuary. As a proof of the success of ,the latter venture, Dr. Mc- Farlane has frequently seen as many as 20 deer in a day.

A VIEW UNSURPASSED. Dr. McFarlane, who has seen most of the great forests of the world, con- siders Cache Lake is unsurpassed. When Mr. Hardy set apart this land, he per- mitted: the cutting of pine according to hunbermen'a contract, but svithdrew the hardwood. After his death the lumber- men commenced to cut birch, but were promptly stopped. by Superintendent Bartlett, Later on the lumbermen wait- ed upon the Ross Government in its iast moments, and succeeded in having all the hardwood thrown back into their hands with twenty or thirty years in which to cut it, thus leaving the bare rocks and water for the people to enjoy as a park. The owner of one of the large limits has latedy sold out to an Orillia comilany that is doing the present cutting. aa "Mr. Cochrane has, 1 believ'e," saki Dr. McFarlane, "been conducting nego- tiations, but finds that they are asking prohibitive prices for conciliation of their _lease, or demanding a quid pro quo in the shape of pine elsewhere in Ontario to the value of about $600,000, which is 'very much more than the Government feels would be about a proper recom- pense." Concluding, Dr. McFarlane believed the Government could make the park eff-supporting by cutting paths in dif- ferent directions, and by the removal of over -ripe timber. . This would make an excellent school for experiments, in practical forestry. "News," Torouto, Ont., May 27 1910. A DRINK IN TIIE DESERT. ! 0 • -. The Barrel Cactus Almost as Good as a Water Barrel.

The event excited some sue, pries, as the Governor was a thorough paced reactionary und, noted for his zeal in crushing out any manifestations of progressive life in the Government over winds he ruled. 'To reason for his resignation could be adduced, and it remained a ruystery. The riddle is now solved. It appeared that M. Veritelnikoff was ea occupiet that he often signea documents brought to bim by his subordinates without aroublingeto read them. Taking advan- tage of this, one of his enemies secured his signature to a letter, which was de- spatched, to the Ministry of the Inter. tor, and caused mesh astonishment that a telegram was sent to Kostrome, order- ing the Governor to come immediately to St. Petersburg. When M. Voritelnikoff arrived - the letter was handed to him. To Isis utter surprise, it contained hie resignation. He read with amazement such passages as: "I an absolutely no use, and incap- able of ruling the Government confided to me," followed by a confession of fail- ure and the statement: "1 have made a mass of blunders." But he could not dispute that the signature at the end of the letter was his.

Canada has a population of probably a little less than 8,000,000, and we have hunareds of millions of acres of agri- cultural land yet unworked. We leave about 25,000,000 head of poultry in Can- ada, and yet, last year, we ,imported 583,270 dozen more eggs than we export- ed. We had to bring eggs from the United States and Russia, and even frorn China and japan, in order to feed our people. The Farmer's Advoeate reck- ons that we ought to have at least 60,. 000,000 head of poultry in Canada, which, on the conservative basis of $1 profit for each hen per annum, would mean a net profit to the owners of at least 800,000,000. One difficulty appears to be that we do not get enough egge from the 110.71S WO have. If we have 29,000,000 hens, and each hen laid 150 eggs a year, that would give up 3,300,000,000 eggs, or more than 400 per annum for every man, woman and child in Canada. This would mean moth than one egg a day for every day in the year. But it does not seem in the least probable that we eons sume so many, and the conclusion must be that our hens are not doing their duty. BUYING A DAIRY BULL. It is an old saying that the bull is half the herd, ansi the saying is trite true where the bull in breeding and potency just about equals the females with which he is mated; where he is much more than half the herd—more than half for good in raising the standard more than half for bad in pulling down the general average. This being the case, the selection of the bull is always a sub- ject of interest, and especially so to that class of progressive dairymen who have got or are thinking of getting their first pure bred bull. s The man who thinks of placing a Holstein -Friesian bull at the head of Ids herd has the best chanee in selection of getting just what he pays for. So far as the. dairy breeds are concerned, the Holsein-Friesians are now divided in- to two classes—the vast bulk of com- mon, pure-bred, registered eows, and the advanced Registry official test cattle. The last class is composed of cows test- ed by the various experiment stations, and the buyer does not have to take the word of the seller in any respect. If one wiAtes a bull fromn the top of the class he must expect to go down deep Into his pocket; but a50 to $100 will buy an ex- cellent bull, and one fit to heasi any com- ment dairy herd and any but the best pure-bred. ln bulls, as well as art all other merchandise,price is governed by quality, rsnd quality includes both breeding and individuality. A bull might be of the best breeding and yot worthless on account of lack of individ- slaty; or he ntight be a bull fit to en- ter any ring, and yet be badly lacking as to breeding. Breeding Is ef the most importance, but so is the Individual excellence and strength which will enable the bull to tretismit the good eualities of his ances- try and so show .Isis prepotency in his offspring. But perhaps some one, who has been waiting breeders for prices, says he malt- reat afford to pay 105 for a bull to use on his dairy herd, that would not be worth $25 if it Wore not pure-bred, and so sink $50. But it seems to me the question is how can he afford not to buy, ana to go on in the old way. Sup- pose a grade cow sired by a pure-bred bull, gives but one pound per milking more theft hersjam, an =Omit so small that the milker could riot notice he had It without the settles, in the 300 days of milking season, or 600 inilkings she will give 600 lbs. of milk, Worth at the very lowest 75 tenth per 100 lbs., or $1.50 for the season.

Oar Heavenly Father, we come to Theeenot because we have anything of our own to offer, but because of' our consciousnes of need, We can bring no worthy gift, for as we go backin mexn. ory over the vanislted years, they are all blurred and 'slotted by our failures and our shortcomings and our sins. Aud we never saw oureelves as sinners until • we saw the face of Jesus Christ and. in Him all the guilt and deformity of our lives atood revealed. '.511 along the way we can see the gleam of Thy great long- suffering mercy. We cast ourselves upon Thy mercy to -day, and we pray not only for mercy but for cleansing. May we so steadily behold the faee of JeAus that wo shall loathe all base things and take on the likenesa of our blessed. Master. Ameu. SIN AND SALVATION. There is no gospel worth talking about which sloes not begin with a rem- edy for sin. Anything else is superfa ciai, a gloss, and will end in disappoitst. molt and more despair. A religion which cannot 'strike as deep as sin has no mission in the world except to mis- lead. Making light of sin can never put new light in the face of the human race. • The Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news because it gives to the world. a message of salvation from sin—"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." There were stoics before Christians, and in Christ's time who re. solved not to be troubled by pain Or dis- aster, and there were Epicureans who said, "Let us eat and drink, for to -mor- row we die," but they had no power to bless the world. There must be a Salvation from sin And the Christian re- ligion has it. It is CAB that differenti- ates it from all other religions, 'all phil. osophies, fade, theories and scienees. 'Whet: we let go of this idea of it WO are letting go of the' Christian religion REDEMPTION AND SALVATION. There is an importaut distinetten, worth taking a moment to understand between redemption and salvation. Je- hovah Himself took humanity upon Him, as the Scriptures declare'to restore to men spiritual freedom which had been lost. This was redemption. Think of it! Men had not only ceased to wish to know the Lord and obey Hint, but comlitions, were such that tb,ey could not if they would.

According to the society in which he is, natural and, spiritual, sueli is the man, and he can be uo other, Take away from him his environment and he would becoate snore helpless time an infant. We can realize something of this when we think of the hold which the conventions of society have upon us. According to the soeiety we live in even in this natural world such is our life in outward 'ibehaviour,its conventtons we obey. We omelet dissociate our manner of life from them, Far -more potent as the influentof the societies at the spir- itual world amid which we are placed. All the life of the natural world flows in through sooleties of the spiritual world. And according to the life whielt flows in, such is the -life. Given a condition in whkh the infitzence of evil societies over- balitsices the influence of heavenly thee eties, and the human mac would be ear- ried away to destruetion, with no more newer of resistitnee than haa a straw upon a flood of mighty waters. Such st eondition was that which bi. pended at the titne of the LOrd's advent. In the words of the prophet, lea. v. 14: "Hell haa enlarged. herself and opened Iter mouth.- without measure."
