Woudn't you hate t see me all worn out and old -looking Wouldn't you rather have in- gro into a beautiful old lady?" By this time they had left Cherry Valley fear behind and the lights o the city began to twinkle before thein Presently John captured one of th slim white hands which did not pro Io s neo grow "wornout and old a " "Little Girl?

Much as I love you, John, I'ni afraid • te;l have to be—all Be how?" he demon Fed, helpless- ly , a _ ,ud of despazi darkening the log e-iie'ht in Itis eyes. She looked at him fur a moment, then said, as the car drew ep at her door, `:You'll have to find that out for yourself, John." "All right: When I cmee again you'll see." The weeks passed. John made an occasional trip to town but did not sec Gertrude nor did he take any part in the social activities of the city. But he kept thinking; and planning, trying to find the key which would open the door to his happiness. One day when he was going through an' accumulation of farm journals he found one which some friend evident-,' ly had marked and passed on for his Inspection. A whole page in this magazine was filled by an enthusiast, a writer who endeavored to show how Iife on the farm would be revoluntion-, zed by the general use of labor-sac- in�• equipment. John read the article three times.{ Then he wanted to talk with seine; one. Suddenly he thought of his old classmate, Billy Randall, now a sue-? cessful architect, When Le called,' Billy was in and greeted him whole- heartedly. They had a good that over' old times and then John showed his hard. 1 "How can I inak.e old Cherry Hill over into a modern, up-to-date' r home?" he asked. "Just listen to him!" shouted Billy.' "Buried for months out in the wilds— a hasn't been seen on a city pave for' a ndbody knows how long—and now, o he wants a modern house! This must have something to do with a certain a young lady for whom you were once believed to have more than a passing c regard, Eh?" John reddened but kept his coun-1 sag, "Well, old chap!" , continued hie; E friend. "Tell Inc what's up. You're; probably thinking about getting near-; s vied. Some women do want a lot,' as I find every day in my experience.' B "Never mind your experience," in- h John,., "I don't expect to t that. It's a r pay anything extra yea ' modem house I'm after.' "Oh, very well," answered Billy, "now that the point is setled, I don't mind telling you that you don't need 1 an architect. Yov' need a plumber and an electrician. The me dery p house," he went on seriously, "de- pends fox ,its modernity on its s,ys- Ulm of Heating, lighting and power.

When he did not appear, she gave up trying to find a reason for his action and, covering up the real ache 'in her heart, went an as usual with the social activ- ities which the customary demands of her life made upon her. Dr. Barker had long been 'her ad- mirer and now improved the oppor- tunity offered by John's absence. Gertrude made no attempt to analyze her awn action but went about with apparent enjoyment of the doctor's society. On a sunny 'day in April in fact the day following John's trip to the city, the doctor came to take her for a drive. He proposed that they drive into the country. "We'Il go out through Cherry Val- e ley, -she decided promptly, when h asked her which way they shoal drive into the country. As they e whirled ed al y ong she though of the last trip she had taken ove the same road with -John, on that got genus October day. Dear old John! Her heart was sore at his neglect. Had he stayed away all ):hese months puzzling over some silly plan to sat- �isfy her fussy ideas? And suppose he did not find the way he sought? What then? The doctor called her attention to the flight of "a flock of crows, over a group of substantial farm buildings that stood in a grove of splendid trees at the head of the valley. Gertrude looked earnestly but not at the crows, for over there was John's place, Cherry Hill Farni, and the man who watched them from the b,ig front veranda was John himself, She had almost yielded to an impulse to wave at him when the automobile skidded, struck a pile of stones and half -thawed earth, toppled and 'crash- ed over against the fenee.

"I'm glad to hear it," he said "Well, I must be going, Just pu these things down on paper for me will you? You know more about i then I do, I'll be a pretty good Gus tenter if you want one." Randall plunged into the plans for renovating Cherry Hill and John g t e him a _freehand. He had com- menced the =.ell: with a rather heavy heart, for ?3illy Randall's hint that Gertrude was having a better time than usual had proved somewhat dis- quiet•in He tried to banish the thought but he could not forget about !a certain Doctor Barker, an old ad- mire,' of Gertrude's. This disquiet- ' ing sensation somewhat lost its keen- ' neer as he got into the thick of his , remodeling and by the time the last touches were administered, his chief !feeling was that of pride in what he had accomplished and of desire to show it to Gertrude to receive her glad approval. He had left the big- living -room fireplaee, as Billy had suggested, and had put in an adequate modern heat- ing system. As to lighting, he had enlarged two windows, made a wide arch between the living room and dining room and otherwise taken care of what his friend had called the "natural" lighting effects. He had the house, barn, verandas and out- buildings wired for electricity. The lighting plant furnished electric lights equal in quality and conveni- ence to those found in any modern city home. Following Billy's further suggestion, he put in a pressure pump with power to force water to all the huildings. He piped the water to the kitchen where a white enameled sink was placed and to the wash -house leerily, where stationary tubs were conveniently arranged. On the sec- ond floor of the house was the bath- oom, tiled and fitted out in a man- ner to delight the most exacting ousew,ife. The house was decorated! fter a scheme laid out by Billy and.i dopted only after John had gone ver it carefully. When all was done, John walked Lout the old home in a dream. Then ea braced himself and turned his ear ityward. Upon reaching the city a voice hailed him. It was Billy Randall. "Well, Old Pal! how is the new &en coming along?;' "Ail through," said John, his voice hewing his deep satisfaction. "Now ain't that too bad ?" asked illy of nobody in particular, "Here e s gone and fixed it all up pretty o show to his girl and when he comes ushing to town after her she's up eel Bone off with another man!" "'So?" John tried to ceneeai his alis -i pointment as he asked, "Who's the„ ucky party?"

Over 70 Per Cent. of Pulp. wood Cut is Now Mmus ylc- ture ( in the Dominion. Canada's wise )policy of benefitting by the home manufacture of herr na• rural resources 15 exeuapli.'lc';1 n<itstbly in thet pulp p ur d paper inl ustry, In 11)03, according to flo'• ernuiout statis- tics. only 30 per cent. cf Canada's pulpwood out was manufactured in the Dominion, whereas 04 per cent. was exported raw. In 1917, over 70 per cent, was manufactured in Cana- ' da, less than 30 per cent. being ex- ported in a raw state. Ten years ago, the number of ems ployees in the pulp and paper Indus- try of Canada was about 9,000, The number of employees at present is est ttmated at 25,000, and the animal wage bill at ;F20,500,000. The exports alone for the past fiscal year from this in- dustry` are around $100,000,000. About 90 per cent. of the newsprint manu- factured in Canada is exported. More • than one-third of the newsprint used in the United States is of Canadian manufacture. -. Increases in 1920. Prospective increases in the capaci- ty of Canadian plants will bring the ' • production of newsprint during the , conning year to a total of 850,000 tons --an increase of 150,000 tons, or over 21 per cent, The iuipoetanee of all this in the maintenance :old development of the economic structure of Canada can scarcely be over-emplia ized, Ob- viously, it would l -e the poorest kind of public polii-y' for the respective pro- vincial governments to relax the exit- ing embargoes upon the export of raw pulpwood cut from Crown lands. S,ich a course would inevitably mean reduc- ing the supplies of naw material tvnl!- able for Canadiiin Mills, as well as the more rapid depletion Of our p ttxiwocd forests, resulting in their corn 1._ at':ve • exhaustion within a ine-t r.r:,btl.

Practically all of th:s goes to the United States. - Preserve the Forests.' The phenomenal growth and de- velopment of the pulp and paper in- dustry in Canada serves strongly to emphasize the urgent need for the per- petuation of our great pulpwood forests, in order that this great indus- try may be permanent instead of mere- ly transitory, as has proved to be the case in the greater portion of • the eastern United States. There fire pro- tection has been wholly inadequate and logging methods have been des- tructive, seeking, for the most part, the greatest inimediate profit, without any conscious attempt to so regulate methods of logging as to leave the cut -over area in a condition to produce another crop. Fortunately, in Canada, the great bulk of the‘ forests are in public ownership, and the public, as a whole, can afford to take thought for the dis- tant future. The increasing employ- ment of trained foresters by Govern- ment services, as well as by pulp and paper companies, offers distinct ens cauragement for the future. The man man who is able to feed his pigs so that they will win in the hottest show -ring Competition is justified ,in believing 'his method a good one. fit, successful breeder depends upon the following ration: One-third ground oats, one-third ground barley, one- third ground middlings. Added to this ration is a little" bran and oil- meal. • This ration is made up into a water slop which is fed three times a day to the little pigs, and twice whei`1 they get older. In addition to this ratiem, sweet skim -milk is fed` twice a day as it .comes fresh from the separator. This makes five feeds a day. This breeder's objection to feeding skim -milk in the slop is that it it al'. most impossible to feed a sweet scop or one that is uniform. He (loos not like a self -feeder for breeding stock. Air -slaked lime and charcoal aro kept before the pigs all the time. Very little corn is fed, except as a finishing touch to show and sale pigs, suckled sows and market hogs.
