R. R. MOONEY, Agent Wingham. Take Active Interest In Forest Protection. The Indian has frequently—and not always unjustly — been accused of criminal carelessness with fire, and to the ancestral habit of setting out fires in order to improve grazing for buffalo has even been ascribed the eausc of the prairies, on which trees are once more being grown. But owiug to the precept and example of Dominion firewardene this ingrained carelessness has—in northern Mani- toba, at least' -been eupplanted by an enthusiasm for forest conservation. Several hundred Indians last summer promised to observe every precaution to prevent forest fires, and, as the Chief Fire Ranger writes, "The fact of no fires this summer is proof posi- tive that the majority of them have faithfully kept their pledge." During the course "of the slimmer sixty-three Indians voluntarily visited the Chief's head -quarters to discuss the plans of the Furestry Branch in the matter of conserving the remaining forests in westernCanada. a. Many of these Indians are sufficient- ly well educated to serve as fire -rang- ers, and, following its policy of obtain• ing the beat men possible for this work, the Dominion Government has enlisted quite a number of Indians in the fire -ranging service, for which their knowledge of the country and their enthusiasm for the work make them admirably adapted. Although the forest -fire loss on the 125,000 square miles of Crown timberland patrolled by Dominion fire -rangers was very small—the area of timber burnt over being lase than nine one-hundrethe of ono per cent (0.09%)— yet this low loss was not a little due to the frequent showers of rain during the danger season. In order to insure safety in seasons of drought, the Forestry Branch proposes to install lookout statione which will increase the .efficiency of the yet somewhat inede quate patrol. Already several towers have been established, enabling rang - ere to scan at one glance several hundred square nines of country. Wireless telegraphy has also been brought into use and from The Pas and Fort Churchill it is now possible for the rangers in these remote regions to communicate almost instantly with the Forestry Branch at Ottawa in matters of special urgency. This is probably the first proctical applica- tion of wireless telegraphy to forest fire protection in America or elte- w here. The engagement is .announced of Miss Annie Jane Wren. daughter of the late George and Mrs. Wren of Hensel!, to Norman Layton Brandon of St. Marys.• The marriage will take place at Toronto the latter pert of June. Mise Wren is a sister to Rev, D. Wren, M. A., of Brussels and spent the past year with him at the parsonage. _sass, ., . . ese V -, s`Fw`:ee . ..r sere'eseeeS es a tau s. .. r.. . 32si.

Suggestions That Point the Way to Successful Pork Production. Truly, piggy is a wonderful beast Where he follows fattening steers and picks up the wasted corn be has been proved by experiments to make the steers pay $2.23 per head additional, says the Farm Journal. Where suckling pigs fight together it is well to remove the sharp little tusks which wound the noses of the others and so save complications and trouble later. There is nothing like a full udder to make the little scamps grow. Feed the sow generously and regularly after the pigs begin to get large enough to de- mand full rations. Don't complain if it takes lots of feed. It will be a good investment. If you hay° many pigs to care for It will be economy to give away the odd pig which is without a teat of its own. With only one litter, you can afford to bring it up by hand, but do not leave it to fight for a place with its broth- ers. A holo in the fence through which the little fellows can crawl to race `` ezer "v ""ems: Admirers of the Chester White breed of hogs claim they exceed all others in prolificacy. They not only farrow as large litters as any other breed, but they will raise more of them without runts. This is ono of the main advantages of this breed* This is due, it is claimed, to the fact that the sows are such fine mothers and good Bucklers, while no breed of hogs equals them in dis- position. They are not only th© most docile, but there as no hog that so readily and easily adapts itself to its surroundings. The illus- tration shows a Chester White sow. daily in the sun for hours or lie and snooze will be a great aid to growth. Have you tried tankage or dried meat scraps in your sow's rations? Her feed has much to do with the growth the pigs make. Large, strong pigs mean good prices and rapid pork making for you if you hold them for greater growth. If you have a good hog pasture you can make it better by dividing it in two and placing the shelter house in the partition fence. Let there be a door at each end so it may be entered from both lots. Let the pigs have one lot for a week; then close the door on that side and open tbe one on the oth- er. The two fields thus alternately have a chance to recuperate. Developing the Calf. To make a good cow it is necessary to begin with the calf, with the first meal of the animal, in fact. Might treatment of a young animal has its effect all througli life and lays the only sure foundation for a well developed adult. It would be well if this fact were more .generally known. The line of progress and improvement once adopted should not be deviated from. This is the way in which the herd will be augmented and stocked with im- proved animals in the cheapest man- ner, for the calves and heifers will eventually repay•with interest the at- tention bestowed upon them during their growing stage, and their proper feeding continued as cows will result in an increased yield of milk and a larger proportion of butter in it.

AVERTED /HE 0E14 Valor Vanished With the Choloo d Wtenon. and Conditions. Representative Borland of Missouri gives an account of the challenge to a duel which occurred in Louisiana, sup. posedly among the last challenges of • that environment in the state. The affair was between a gentleman who belonged to one of the oldest families there and a sturdy blacksmith of Geon gia, who bad become a man of political influence. The gentleman took offense at some rental' 1 of the Georgian and sent him a challenge, The powerful blacksmith was nonplused. "'I know nothing about this dueling business,' said he, 'and I positively yvill not fight.' "'You must,' urged his friend. 'No gentleman can refuse.' "'I am not a gentleman,' replied the honest citizen of Georgia, 'I'm only a blacksmith.' "'But you will be ruined 1f you do not fight,' continued his friends. 'You will have the choice of weapon's, and you can choose so as to give yourself an equal chance with your adversary.' "The giant requested time in which to consider the matter and ended by accepting. He sent the following reply to the Louisiana gentleman: "'1 accept, and, in the exercise of my privilege, I stipulate that the duel shall take place in Lake Pontchartrain in six feet of water, sledgehammers to be used as weapons.' "As his adversary was about five feet eight inches in height and the blacksmith was seven feet, the con celt of the latter so pleased the Loulsi• ana gentleman that he declared bim self satisfied, as he was one wilt could appreciate a joke as well as perpetrate one, and he declared the duel off."—Exchange. HIS DREAM MATERIALIZED. Curious Incident in the Career of Novelist S. R. Crockett. One morning the postman brought to S. R. Crockett, the novelist, a letter from the editor of the St. James' Gazette containing a small check as payment for a contribution. Mr. Crockett knew that nothing was due to him, that be had been paid for an articles, and—remarkable man—he did the check up in an explanatory note and returned it to the editor. The next day back came the check from the editor --remarkable man— with a note saying it was due. Tbo St. James Gazette had published an article from the pen of Mr. Crockett which had not been' paid for, hence the check. Again Mr. Crockett—re- markable rockett re- markable man—returned the check, and still the remarkable editor refor- warded it, this time with the article cut out of the columns of the St. James' Gazette. Now comes the curious feature of the incident. 'When Mr. Crockett clapped his eyes on the article he was astonished to find it one of his dreams materialized. One night, going to bed extra tired, he dreamed that a good idea for a St. James' Gazette column bad occurred to him, that he then and there sat down, wrote it and posted it Next i mornn g he remembered hid dream and made up his mind some day to write the article exactly as he dreamed he had written it, when, td his astonishment, came article and check from the newspaper.
