The fallowing ie an may by George Hanna, a etudeut of the Mt, Forest High School, and a eon of Rev, W. G. Hanna, of Mt. Forest : Forests form a nation's most import. ant aege6, when they are considered from a oommeretal standpoint. We have ample proof of thin statement in the trade reports of uur Dominion governmeut. Until agricultural 1,898 increased by ibe 0ettlemeut of Manitoba and the North• west turneries, lumbering was the chief induebry of this °pantry. Although the export of timber may not, and in some ottee6 oannot, be eo great, yet the pro- ducts end by produote of wood form au important element in the commerce of every state. Bat for other reasons than that of their mere money value, forests are of ineotim• able worth to any gauntry. We depend almost entirely upon bird, to prevent the spread of lnseot pests. Now birds need the protection of trees, for several roe, eons, but chiefly because the majority nest in their shelter. So naturalists olaim that the planting of groves and rows of trees would greatly benefit the farmer. Io corroboration of theory they cite the fent that Bingle fruit trees in the bush or even orohardo contiguuue to a woods are free from the ravages of bawds. On the prairies where the wind sweeps across such an extent of open country, settlers find it neoeeeary to plant row, of trees as windbreaks. And even in Ont- ario a gcove of trees will aid a Drop of Fall wheat by preventing the snow from drifting off the fields mud exposing the grain to the frost. To spite of the manifest neafniness of foreete many people learn their advan. tagee only wbeo they are gone. The pre- sent uncertainty of the weather in America is charged directly to the dieap- penraD08 of Targe tracts of woodland. Old timers can tell haw no late froet used to nip the Spring bade, bow the Drops never failed beoauee of drought and bow the Indian Bummer always came in November. Theorists assert that foreete through the 8geooy of their foliage give off large quantities of watery vapor and the presence of thie vapor in the atmos• pbere tempers to some extent the ex- tremee of heat and cold. Not only do forests equalize the tem- perature bat they have an important bearing on the humidity of a region. Men have oalonlated that the rainfall is fifty per oeut heavier in a wooded die trim then inopen country. Then, too, rain is retained by the earth mob longer when nese ere growing upon it. So floods ,00h as take place in China are avoided. Where large dietriot() have been denuded, al in Russia, the iaod beoomee dry and barren and neatly turns into a desert. Within the last few years travellers have found that the Rueeian rivers mole as the Volga and Dnieper have shrunk ooeeiderably and they aseig0 as a reaeoo, the prodigal waste of timber whittle the femme have carried 00. The two main onuses for the 1889000. tion of forests are Sees and the baud of men. The latter is a diffieaft matter Mace governments often think little of their responsibility in each things. The laws of Ontario provide in some measure against the former through the appoint. meat of searching and wood rangers to prevent and check firee and to punish tboee starting them. But fire -protection affords no means of preserving forests from the lumberman. Muth lend unfit for farming has 'been cleared by the lordly lumber barons eo that no provision was made for the growth of new trees. Tbe result is that this land is lying waste and even proving au injury to its neighborhood. According to the laws of forestry a pertain proportion of the fall grown trees may be removed from a bush every year and atilt not diminish the supply bat even benefit the remainder, To this end two methods are practiced in thie country. First the ooppicemethod. By tide system the etumps are left prepared and from time sprouts shoot up prodao• ing a second growth slightly inferior to the original trees. The wood thea pro• dnoed fe used in burning oherooal and in manufactures where a log of large diameter is not required. The second method is known as select. tion. Here the larger Ireee only are felled and care is taken that the ground is prepared to receive the eeede which fall from the surrounding trees. The eapliegs get the protection of older trees while they are Blender and in their turn shelter others natil they are full-grown, when they are out down. Occasionally ie le tllogght neet8e8ry to thio out the young trees bot the timber is likely to be better in quality and straighter if they are left alone beoauee the trees produce only a few lateral branches the main growth be• ing upwards, The great advantage of thie system over the first is that it may be carried on indefinitely without any diaereses in the value or quantity of the svood while in the fires, the third growth is dietinotly inferior and often 110 shoots are produced after the second cutting, In Europe the attention of the people was turned early towards the preserva- tion of their 100881() so that their methods are more advanced than oars. France and Auetria Hungary have eetabliehed eoboole to train men in the profession of forestry. These men enforce the strict laws and maintain the state lands in proper condition. Under this rule they have developed another method of reproduction. A given area is divided into compartments. The plots are grodnally cultivated until the trees i0 each plot are of the eame age. These oompertmenis are graded ac- cording to the size of trees, The °Moern after careful observation determine on a oertaio number of years et the end of which the trees will have beoome fully matured. They then clear the land and replant it immediately. In order that there may be an annual supply of timber every compartment i8 one year older than the one after it. These are galled in Germany high forests and ere intended the the product. Mon o! large timber, Their regnlerity glvee to them an arti1oial appearance in marked contrast to the wild and natural beauty of Amerioan 10reet8. The foliage forme each a think oenopy that under. growth dies for leek of sunlight. Their elnef advantage is that each year's cut. ling le collected all in One plane inetead of being 888918red over the whole area but then in some eituutione the opening tip of any great area would agate injury to the remainder 00 there they follow the more natural method of selection. The effeete of foveae preservation are many and the planting trees ie being applied to remedy several evils, Iu eat Franca) t Soathwe rat the tea and tviod had. driven send over a large dietriot rendering it practically worthless to the farmer. Thie dietriot called the Landee has been re forested with oonilers and not only bee the advance of the Band been °hook- ed.but much bat been reelaimed so that now fertile meadows intersperse the groves. In New England there are nomeroue eteep hill pastures which have beoome so dry as to be often abandoned. One man found lou0g fire springing up in his and allowed them to grow. A spring soon appeared where there bad been Done before. It was acknowledged to be one of the finest in all that region. After ninety years the trees were remove ed and the spring immediately disappear- ed. These Mote show the direot effect that foreete have gpou the water supply and upon the fertility of the soil. The W. F. A, Annual, The annual oonve0tion of the Western Football Association was held in Berlin on April 21st, Thirty eight teams were represented.

Two years ego the Berlin Royale were all °barged with infringing the amateur standing law. At a meetiog of the Ama• tear Standing Oommittee last Spring they were given a chance to clear themselves by makiug affidavits that they were net guilty of the charge, and some of them did eo. To -day G. Wagner, A. Helier, A. Soberer, A. Rehman and 0. Soweizer, who were moot; those suepended. ap• plied for reinstatement, and it was. de- cided that they would be reinstated upon presentation of similar affidavite. Stratford oinb'e proposal that the throw•iu rule in force up to teat season be reverted to waif adopted. Thie rule doee not require a player to keep both (eel on the touch line when throwing in and until the ball touohee the ground or an• other player. Articles 15 and 16 of the laws of the game were amended to read that in oaee of a place kiok or a penalty kink the ball shall not be in play until the referee has blown his whistle. Thie does away with goy chance of interference in case of a penalty kick. Iu future (Aube will be allowed to sign men up to tba time of the commencement of a game. Previously men had to be regietered a week before date of game. An amendment was passed making it possible for metOhee to be played on Req• tral grounds in eases of matches between winnere of dietriot(), only when both clubs agree. The home team may name any grooud it cbooaee for the matoh. In eases where clubs cannot decide upon a referee bath will have to notify the Preei dent at least four days before match. The junior weight rifle was streak out altogether, but the motion to reduce the junior age limit from 21 years to 20 years waif lost, The rale governing the Hough Cap seriea was amended, putting it oo the game basis as the eenior eerier. Previous ly no schedule was drawn up, but teame competing for the Hough Oup had to play on the grounds of the team bolding the cup. Clinton has held the cup since October, 1902, The much -talked of amendment pro• posed by Secretary Forsythe to throw the onus of amateur etanding on all players who may be guestioned was paee• ed with little discussion. This amend. ment gives the committee power to enepend a player charged with violating the amateur standing rale, where pre. vionely players could be suspended only in 08888 of euob ohargee being proven.

When asleep people that more breathe through the mouth instead of the noetrile whish are oboked with catarrh. Just use "Oatarrhozone" before retiring and you'll quickly oars the snoring habit. By destroying the cause of oatarrh and heal. ing the membranes, Oatarrhozone makes a complete nee in every case ; it cleans the noetrile, elope the discharge and prevents dropping in the throat in a few minutes. Nothing e0 pleasant or certain to ogre snoring, catarrh or colds as Oatarrhozone—that's worth rennin). bering. North Perth Licenses. The Commissioners' Rules and Warn.
