The Development of

Not only has the number of sheep owt

were in the 'United Kingdom, 31,938,83

704 head; in Australia 87,043,260 head,
in New Zealand 23,480,707 need, while
the latest, returns for Canana place the
number at not more than 2,705,390 head,
in view of the fact that; sheep leave not
only a direct and printery value through
the actual financial returns which they
anake to their owners, but because they
represent as well in themselves a pecul-
iarly important asset in agriculture, ow-
ing to their ability to increase soil fer-
tility and to cheek aud destroy the
growth oi weeds upon the land, the sit

self thoroughly as to the details of the
eneep alai wool trade in Great Britain,
and the United States, and as to condi-
tions as they actually prevail irt Can -
ache the Altimeter of Agriculture has au.
thorized the appointment of a commit.
tee of two competent men to investigate
the sheep situation in general M the
three countries named. These gentlemen
have alreerly been appointed and aro at
present pursuing their investigations in
Great Britain, The personnel of the
committee consists of Mr. 'W. T. Ritelt,
•of Manchester, England, and of Mr. W.
A, Dryden, of Brooklin, Canada.
After consultation with the live stock
tommissioner, the members of the coni
mittee have of course been allowed the
liberty of depending largely upon their
own initiative in planning their route
• and in evolving the details of their in-
vestigations. The general procedure will
however, be somewhat as follows: Mr,
Bitch preceded Mr. Dryden to England
M order to attend a number of impor-
tant wool fairs, in progress during Aug-
ust and September. There he will lie in
close association with wool merchants
and with men interested or engaged in
the wool trade, ia it several bran -hen
and will thus be enabled to discuss with
them in all its phases the vari ins de-
tails of the industry in connection with
both home and foreign markets.
Both members of the committee are
arranging to be present at the big late
summer and autumn sheep sales, which
are annually beta in the latter part of
August, during September and in Oc-
tober. They will visit Smithfield and
the larger meat markets of London and
of other important cities, It is possible
also that they will be present at the
annual ram sales at Kele° and at one
or two other leading centres. Thee will
bring them into intimate touch with
sheep breeders, mutton misers, dealers,
• butchers and provision men in all the
important localities. It will give thew.
an insight into conditions and method's
as they prevail upon the farms through-
out the country. It will ding their
attention to the systems of marketing
in operation in every stage of the buai-
ness. It will furnish them with infor-
mation concerning prices, profits and. as
to the extent and nature of the trade,
and, in short, give them a knowledge of
the great sheep industry of the United
Kingdom and of the import trade in
dead mutton and lambs. It is hoped
that the investigations in Great Britain
will put the branch in possession of such
information and of such fads and stat-
istics as may enable it to intelligently
nosiest in building up a great Canadian
business in the raising of eheep and also
in finding a place for the Canadian pro-
ducts of wool and mutton in the corn
-
zone ofthe world.
Returning to Canada, the investigat-
ors will visit all the provinces and intero
view prominent sheep men and manu-
facturers in order to familiarize them-
selves with the diffieulties, drawbacks
and defects in connection Nvith condi-
tions as they now prevail, and whieh

START HAPPINESS AT HOME. -
This is Mrs. Cornwallis -West, for-
merly Lady Randolph Churchill and
the mother of Winston Churchill,
prominent British etatesman.
Mrs. Cornwallia-West has written
a warning play which will be staged.
in American this winter.
The play deals with a husband and
wife' who devote their time to help-
ing humanity to the neglect of their
own home, in which they are very
unhappy,
Without depreciating in the least
the efforts of those grata men and
women who labor in philanthropic
and humane interests, who give
their lives that others may live in
better -conditions and enjoy more
hopeful days; without subtracting
one iota from the credit due thorn,
it is well to remember that mankind
dwells in two worlds.
Two entirely different and foreign
worlde: The one, that in which the
whole human race lives and mingles
each with the other; the other is
home.
Within the narrow confines of home
there lies a world—the world of one's
own, just as wonderful, just as mutt/
in need of constant thought and help
as is the other world—the world of
everybody.
Be home palace or hovel, it is home,
and as zilch there is constant need of
love, friendly interest, smiles, and en -
clearing words, beside the mora ma-
terial needs of shelter, clothing and
food.
A very Wise man once remarked
that charity begins at home.
Interest in fellow beings ehould not
only begin there, but enough, of it
should always remain there eo that
the beautiful flower of family hap-
piness may blossom until the last
two members of the family are sep-
arated by voice of the Creator,
The purpose of Mr,
West's play is not to make us sel-
fishly inclined to heap all our love,
wealth and devotion upon ourselves
And our own, but not to go to the
other extreme either,
It reminds us that in the eternal
fitness of things there has been given
everyone the ability to live in two
worlds simultaneously—the world of
home and the world of everybody.
To fail to live to the fullest extent
of our possibilities in either is a dire
tnisfoeturm to ourselves and to hu -
inanity.

FOREST FIRES.
Campers and Railways the Principal

Commission of Conservation Service,
Bulletin No. 4. Ottawa, Sept, 0, 1910.
During the paet summer forget fire*
have bon devouring., the growth of on-
turies, with rtithlees rapacity. Northern
Ontario, Manitoba and liritiele Columbia
have euffered most. Vine tracts of
mereautible timber worth millions of
dollen }Hive been destroyed, square
mile upon square mile of young growth
eoming on to supply the deutand'of the
future has been wiped out of existence.
In Northern Onterio, whete but 4 thin
layer of vegetable mould covers the
rocks, the heft, oozy fared floor, the
only hope of vegetation and equable
stream flow has been. eompletely de-
stroyed, leaviug a eimerleas reeky ivaste
for generations to come. Elven if no
thought be given to the number of lives
lost, it must be admitted that the loss
occasioned this year by forest fires has
been nothing short of availing.
Can nothing be done, then, to prevent
this los st The answer is that much can
be done.. he solution of the problem
is indicated in two words—publie aenti-
molt. The two prineiple causes of for-
est fires are campers ann, railways, and
publie opinion must be brought to bear
upon these! The tourist -camper does
not at all realize the extent of the dam-
age whicla his unextinguished camp fire
may no. Laws against leaving omp firee
burping are already in thestatute: books
but it is quite evident that their °beer.
vance rests mainly with the tourist him-
self. He must be impreseed with the
very serious nature of his offence. If
a tnan sets fire to e building, he is con-
victed of arson and tout to prisoe as
a felon, but if his unextinguished camp
fire burns down millious of dollars'
worth of timber and perhaps destroys
human life as well, he is, et best, made
to pay a small fine. When. public opin.
ion views this carelessness of the entry-
er as a criminal net and frowns upon hint
accordingly, considerable progress will
have been made in lessening the number
of forest fires fro mthis cause.
But it is the railways that -spread the
most destruction. 'Traversing, as they
do, the great lone stretches of uninhab-
ited timber areas, the sparks from their
locomotives start numerous fires that
gain great headway before being deteet-
ed. Too often the right-of-wity, piled
with inflate -table r rubbish, furnishes a
tinder -box for these conflagrations. The
owner of the destroyed property along
the line has found it almost impossiblo
under thee' present laws to get damages
from the railway eompany, so eliffieult
ie it to fix the responsibility, and so
expensive is the process of litigation.
In order to lessen the number of fires
due to this cause, the Committee on For-
ests of the Commission of Conservation
has proposed to make the railway pe-
cuniarily responsible, It has recommend-
ed that there be added to the Railway
Act a clause making them liable to a
fine of $1,000, recoverable by summary
prosecution before a stipendiary magis-
trate or two instices of the peace, for
every fire started by sparks from their
locomotives. It makes no difference
whether the fire begins • outeide the
right-of-way or spreads therefrom to ad-
joining lands. The reilwaWs are exempt
from this fine if they can ShOW that
they have the best modern appliances on
their locomotives to prevent the emis-
sion of sparks, that their employees
have not shown negiligence in conduc-
ing to the starting of the. fire, and. that
they have maintained an efficient and
properly equipped staff of fire -rangers.
In other words, the 'committee proposes
to lessen the number of fires caused by
sparks from locomotives by having the
railways fined for the damage they do,
unless they take every possible precau-
tion to prevent such damage. This le
obviously a fair recommendation as re-
gards both the railways and. the iub1ic,
and the effort to have it made law is
worthy of public support. Every Can-
adian is deeply interested in the pro-
tection of our forests; for each forest
fire means that he and. his children tvill
have to pay higher prices for every foot
of lumber they use. Such a measure,
for the preservation of our foreets, as
that recommended by the Committee on
Forests of the Commission of Conserva-
tion should, therefore, commend itself
to every public-spixited citizen and news-
paper in Canada.

A .• LIFE LIVED WITH OHRIST,
(By Robert E. Speer.)
If we wish to leno,v what is involved b
a. life lived with Chrien we can learn it
beet from the ettuly of emu° life actually
lived for Christ and with Christ.
The life of Warren Seebury was suet a
life. lie was born at Lowell, Massaehtt-
sette, an September 17, 1877. When he
was a child, an intelligent and attragive
Chinese who was accustomed to call at
his home said to him one day: "Warren,
:mine day you will go to China and teach
my countrymen about jeaus Chriat."
Tile prediction was fulfillen. He was a

ther, "on the right a sword, on the left

heavily pencilled, against which stood

to mark, "Obedience, Honor, Chivalry,
After preliminary studies he entered
Yale in the class which was graduated in
1000. In' college he lived the Christiaa
life, walking; with Christ. He wrote of
his joyful acceptance of Dr. Alexander
Mackenzie's definition of a. Christian, "A
Christian is one who does for Christ's
sake what he would not do otherwise."
He worked in the East Street Mission
and among his fellows. At Northfield,
one summer vacatioe, he decided to be a
foreien missiOnary, and the next year, on
Mare% 1, 1000, he wrote that he had
signed the card of the Student Volun-
teer Movement the precedlng day, de-
claring his purpose to become a foreign
missionary.
After college he went to Hartford The-
ological Seminary. There, and in his
vacations, he wns briny in work for
other, eSpecially for boys. One whom
he led into the church during a vacation
in Vermont, wrote: "Since his death I
have reconsecrated my life to the Mas-
ter's service. I am trying to be worthy
of the hope he had in me. I want others
to know that one life is richer because
he lived." After the Theological Semin-
ary he returned to Yale for a post -grad-
uate year, and then sew the plans which
be liad been among the foremost in eon-
ceiving consummated in the establish-
ment of the Yale Mission to China, in
connection with which he left home for
China on Sept. 15, 1904.
"AIN well and I ana happy! Too
beautiful to be sad," he wrote home two
days later.
On july 29, 1907, he finished his brief,
but glorious, work. He had helped to lay
the foundations of the Yale ,Mission at
Chang Sha. He had. won the friendship
of the Chinese. He had worked faith-
fully on the language, and he had walked
with Christ. Then suddenly he and
Arthur Mann, who plunged. in to save
him, log their lives in a swollen moun-
tain torrent into which he had slipped
from a wet rock, and be woke to hive in
the eternal country with the Saviour
with whom he walked on earth.
"DE YE KIND."

and revolutions are usually the result of

excessive friction, The law of kindness
is the cure for strife.
Kindness meant originallythe fekligns
and actions appropriate to kinehip, and
It is rooted in the idea of blood rela-
tionship. The word sympathy is closely
related to it in meaning. The 'strange
