OUR :NATIONj HERITAGE Carelessness Destroys (�annually ntua 3,000,000 acres J of Canadian Forest • ,Loss of stand'ng. timber by fire continues to be appalling.. - On the average, over 3 500 million board feet are destroyed annually. T he forests of Can- ada are being de ~feted at a rate they can- not possibly withstand; more tnan half of this depletion is due to fire, insects and decay. The future of the forest industry• is just as dependent on the seedling trees and young growth as the pulp and paper and lumber mills, and industry generally, are dependent on . mature -timber—both must be saved from the ravages' of fire. In addition to the shelter afforded by the - forest to the farmer and his stock, settlers in forested regions ' are vitally dependent on the woods for winter employment. Care with fire In land -clearing operations is all -essential — burned timber pays no wages. Canada has the finest inland fishing in the world, -but these splendid feted and game fish require- clean, cold• water in the streams to ensure prolific reproduction, . Forest fires are inimical to fish life. �... i Game animals attract foreign tourists and induce Canadians to seek pleasure, health and adventure in the great outdoors. These ani- mals are distinctly a forest resource -utterly dependent on it for protection and food. Forest fires are most destructive of such wild life. Ninety `per cent of the forest fires are caused by •carelessness.

He has been at that work for twenty-five years, He was not a pushing matt. Het never sought grace in the public eye. I who knew him well, know that he had really no ambition except to serve his people. Then, in the twinkling of an eye, without any warning, save, to a few who knew his condition, he passed from all his activities from this world into the next. "Now, will you follow me, my bre- thren—brethren of all creeds, of all nationalities—will you follow me in what happened instantaneously?

The inwards thoughts - were, he • was a friend of mine; he loved me. Many times he patted me on 'the shoulder and said, well done. The thought the children ' expressed was, Father Downey is dead. 'Men—parishioners, 'Catholics of this district—heard the sad .,news, They never stopped to analyze what was in their own minds. One said to the other, Dean Downey is dead, and they went about their way, carry- ing in their minds the story as they. saw itt the picture as they knew it, of an activity of twenty-five years. One man said, he worked hard. He was always about and amongst his people. He gave us- • everything that ewes in him. Another said, he was very kind to the poor; and misery met sympathy; and those in trial got his support;, and there was never a good cause that made an appeal to him in vain. fits non -Ca holic fellow citizens— and I want to thank them in a more particular' way than I am thanking my own people for . what has been the, understanding they have given et his life. Non -Catholics met and said, Dean Downey is dead! Yes it is too bad. And, without' any further dis- cussion they went their way. But, one said to himself, he was a good citizen. Whenever any civic cause called him, we knew he was there. Another one said, he helped in all nntnicipal and locat works of charity, of kindness and goodness. "The peculiar thing that I see here is that no one said, 'He was a mar- velous organizer; he was a -wonder- ful orator; he was a startling figure, always in the' foreground.' Nobody Said that. It would not have been true, and everybody spoke the truth. But the variousesentcnces that were uttered by all those various people, the little children' his own people, his fellow citizens, worked out an extraordinary tribute to his blessed' memory. • "That, I think, is enough.

Alfalfa hay stands at the head of the hay list in value for dairy cows, sheep and lambs, beef cows, growing young cattle, breeding bulls, and may be used with care for horses, espe- cially when they are idle or compara- tively so. Of course, the hay should be well cured, preferably by the coil method, and generally speaking the second cutting is of finer quality than the first. Good alfalfa hay is just un- der wheat bran in digestible crude protein, but shows about three times as much fibre. It is a roughage, but some feeders forget that It is a rich roughage and throw too much of it to their stock. A small forkful of good alfalfa hay contalns more real feed value than a big bundle of the No Rest With Asthma.

There are about 200 bearing English walnut trees now In Southern Ontario, If 200 thrive, why not 200,000, there is lots of room for them. In the Isere Valley, France, the home of the best variety of English walnut, there are thousands of wa1-1 nut trees, but only a few are planted in regular orchard form, most of the trees are scattered along the roads, about the buildings, wherever it would be inconvenient to raise other kinds of crops. Even under these supposedly adverse conditions the hundreds of individual growers an- nually sell highly profitable crops, which in the aggregate total several thousand tons. The favored Lake Erie counties have many acres suit- ed uited to the walnut, and every farm could accommodate 50 trees or more, distributed about the dooryard, buildings, along fences or ravines. without reducing the grain produe' ing capacity of the farm by one bushel. If modern agricultural tnduatry 13 to make land produce more food then tree crops should be given consider- ation. The walnut is more hardy than the peach, and the crop will not spoil overnight.

Spring Pruning.- The runing:The question, "How late can' the apple, peach and pear trees be pruned In the spring?" is often. asked. It may be answered by saying that it can be done with entire success any time during the spring months. It is usually a little more success - Sul and satisfactory to do the work before growth starts in the spring. Do it when your knife is sharp, and don't delay a whole year on account of inability to Ind time early in the season, The later pruning is done in the spring the greater the tendency toward the checking of growth, and results in accomplishing no more than the removal of the wood. Early pruning leaves all stimulating influ- ences for the benefit of the twigs that remain, and results in increased growth, and development where de- sirod. Wounds made on large branches sometimes exude considerable sap ,when made in the middle of the grow- ing season; so if pruning is done after growth starts more care should be exercised in painting over the cut sur- taxes.
