ENORMOUS WOOD WASTE.
In the m tnufncture of chemical wood-
pulp by rhe s ilphite process, one-half
of eveoy cent so treated is eiseolved by
the ligeor io which the wood is boiled,
and is discharged, into the adjacent
rivers as waste liquor. According to
the lust bulletin on Pulpwood, issued by
the Forestry Branch, Ottawa, the
amount of pulpwood subjected to this
chemical treatrn n in W12 was almost
two hundred and ninety thousand cords.
One half of this amount has absolute
waste. The average price of a cord of
pulpwood is six dollars, so that this
waste, reduced to its money equiva'ent,
represents a loss to Canada of over
eight hundred thousand dollars.
Nor is this the only loss, for by this
process J40 pounds of suli•her are rt-
quired to dissolve the waste materials
out of each cord of wood. Some of the
gases generated in the process are re-
covered, but most of pe sulphur passes
off in the waste liquor, and no method
has yet been found to recover it for
use a second time, Sulphur costs
twenty-five dollars a ton, and the loss
in this particular is equivalent to a
money loss of over half a million dol-
lars on the total amount wasted.
In view of that fact that each' yea
more and more pulp -wood is being
ma:•ufactured into pulp by this process
in Canada, the utilization of this waste
l.quor btcimes an important problem.
Even the most practicable method so
far devised dues not recover enough
valuable products to make it pay.
'1h; waste liquor contains many
mat trials, such as oxalic acid, tannin
ext-actq, dyestuffs and alcohol consti-
tuents which, if they could be easily
recovered, would make the liquor of
great commercial value; but in spite of
the tremendous amount of work which
has been done on the subject, especially
in Europe, the problem still remains
for the most part unsolved. As the
liquor also contains carbohydrates, it
should be possible to obtain turpentine,
srd eventually it may be rossible to
obtain rubber from it. In furthering
the solution of such proble:ns and in
eliminating other forms of wood waste,
the new Forest Products Laboratories
being established by the Dominion
Government at McGill University will
doubtless ptay an important part.
One use of the waste liquor mentioned
above, that bas been tried at Grand
Mere, Quebec, where the Laurentide
Company has large pulp and paper
mills, consists in its utilization for
street -watering. Experience has
shown it to be as efficacious in keeping
down duet as oil is, while the objection-
able odor of oil is quite absent.

LUMI- is t PRODUCTS, 1912.
There was ten rer cent. le -s lumber
cut in Canada during 1912 than in the
preceedirg year, the total quantity
fruit. Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy and
Cold Storage Commissioner, in giving
evidence on this question pointed out
that about $1.75 per barrel was receiv-
ed in the Lake Ontario and Lake Erie
Districts by the members of co -operas
tive associations while independent
growers received about $1.00 per bar-
rel. The Commissioner in referring to
the discrepancy between the first and
final prices of apples estimated that the
unavoidable expenses amounted to
about $2.23 per barrel made up as fol-
lows: -barrel, 45c.; picking 17e.; man-
agement expenses or commission to a
local buyer, 19c.; freight to Winnipeg.
80e.; broker's commission, 12e.; and re-
tailer's profit 50e. per barrel.
The question of marketing was but
one of many dealt with by the special
Committee who had as witnesses be-
sides the Dairy and Cold Storage Com-
missioner, Messrs. Daniel Johnson,
Forest, Ont., S. B. Chute, Berwick,
N.S., W. S. Foggo, Vernon, B.C., and
James Hardwell, Ottawa.
As evidence of the value to the
grower of co-operation Mr. Johnson
instanced the case of a woman who was
offered, by a local buyer, $125 for her
crop for which she received through a
c i -operative association $1,035.
L'ir. Chute who represented 1,500
farmers, as manager of the United
Fruit Companies of Nova Scotia, ex-
plained that through his organization
5,000 tens of fertilizer had been bought
from the manufacturers for the mem-
bers who had benefited to the extent of
about $15,000 on purchases of fertilizers,
spraying machines and materials, farm
implements, seeds and other require-
ments.
Equally interesting evidence was
given by the other witnesses all of
which appears in a pamphlet of 116
pages that has been printed for public
distribution by the Publications Branch
of the Department of Agriculture at
OrtaWa.
A copy of the first number of the
Ripley Enquirer, the new paper just

THE COUNTRY BOY'S' CREED.

are maple and basswood, both of which
are also common in the farmer's wood -
lot. Although the "hardwoods" con-
stituted only 7.1 per cent. of the total
lumber cut, the supply of trees is by
no means exhausted for, unlike the
conifers, there was an increase in the
amount of such woods cut in 1912 over
that of 1911,

PROBLEMS OF THE FRUIT GROWER.
During a sitting of the Select Stand-
ing Committee of the House of Com-
mons on Agricultural and Colonization
a few months ago it came out in evi-
dence that many apple growers were
last year unable to secure more than
from 75c. to $1.00 per barrel on the tree
and in some districts hundreds of bar-
rels of good fruit were allowed to fall

Chronic Dyspepsia.
The following unsolicited testimonial
should certainly be sufficient to give
hope and courage to persons afflicted
with chronic dyspepsia: I have been a
dyspeptic for years, and of all the
medicine I have taken, Chamberlain's
Tablets have done me more good than
anything else." says W. G. Mattison,

INCREASING THE PROFITS OF
DAIRYING.
By following a system of intelligent
breeding, selection, care and feeding,
many farmers in Canada have increased
the annual production of their milking
herds by at least 2,000 lbs. of milk per
cow. If this were accomplished in all
dairy herds in Canada the yearly revenue
from them would be increased by about
$30,000,000 without adding to the size
of the herds. Even with greately im-
proved feeding this desirable result
could not be obtaihed unless a well
organized system of cow testing is
followed. Such an improvement is
based on a study of. the individual cow
in the herd, the retention of only the
good animals and the following of a
system of generous feeding of economi-
cally produced foods.
While it is practicable for individual
farmers to test their own cows it is
infinitely easier and cheaper for them
if some form of co-operation is -adopted.
This is clearly brought out in bulletin
No. 33 of the Dairy and Cold Storage
Commissioner's Branch entitled, "Cow
Testing with Some Notes on the
Sampling and Testing of Milk." This
work, which is published for free dis-
tribution by the Publications Branch
of the Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, explains clearly how cow
testing associations are formed and
worked as well as the benefits these
are to those who take advantage of
them.

Money Savecl, Money gonna.
During the month of August the
Grain Growers' Grain Co. of Winnipeg
mailed to all its shareholders a ten per
cent. dividend upon the par value of
their stock. The total of this large
dividend amounted to $62,819. This
sum of money all went back to the
shareholders of the farmer's company
upon their farms throughout the three
provinces. It was to them just that
much money saved by their own efforts
in co operation. If the Grain Gtowere
Grain Company had not been in the
field thls money would simply have
gene into the pockets' of the private
grain Magnates. This divieend was
not earned by the farmers' company
because of any special privilege enjoy-
ed by them; not because of any laws
passed specialty in their behalf; but in
the face of the keenest and often un-
scrupulous rivalry of many large and
powerful interests. The Grain Gtowert►'
Grain Company and its success is a
monument to the ability of the Western
fetrmers to stand together for their
common Welfare.
