The chief points of Gabriel Neith's
forecast are as follows:—
War probably will continue until
1918, although March, 1916, may
bring strong hopes of peace.
As the sub -cycle of Mars continues
until 1944, this will not be the last
conflict of the nations of the world.
March and June will be memorable
months in the United States because
of internal troubles as well as exter-
nal dangers.
Germany may suffer adverse condi-
tions in January and March. Death of

of the royal family, is indicated.

FORESTRY AND LIVE
STOCK INDUSTRY
WHAT WE MAY LOOK FOR IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.
Stockmen Are Taking Advantage of
Protection Offered by Forestry
Branch.
The area of the Dominion Forest
Reserves at the 'present time is 35,-
776 sq. miles; add to this 7,920 sq.
miles contained in the National Parks,
and the immense territory north of
the North Saskatchewan River and
east of the Mackenzie River, we can
form some idea of the immense area
that will have its beat use in forestry
and the animal industry, writes Mr.
L. Stevenson in Canadian Farm.
The grass and forage of the forest
reserve areas in Canada will be util-
ized largely by domestic cattle, sheep
and horses until such time as the wild
animal industry is thoroughly found.
ed. At the present time stockmen,
both rancher and farmer, are taking
advantage ,of the protection offered
by the Forestry Branch to those who
d care to secure grazing permits. In
ar 'Saskatchewan and Alberta last year,
e forest officers directed the grazing on
all forest reserve lands, being care -
e ful that .overgrazing was not prac-
i ticed, and that scrub male animals
y were kept off the forest reserves. Live
g stock associations have been, and are
being, formed by ranchmen and fam-
e ers, that a union of efforts may lead
e 1 to greater results, and that all may
enjoy the protection given by a stock
or co-operative association to work
hand in hand with the forest reserve
authorities.
Factor in Canada's Meat Trade.
The development of the wild ani-
mal industry in the United States
and Alaska is a criterion of what we
may look for in Canada in the near
future. Few people are aware that
we have buffalo herds which total up
over 1,600 head. These buffalo are
running on the Dominion Parks in Al-
berta. They have been fairly success-
ful as a breeding proposition; . some
230 calves were born and reared dur-
ing the past season. Buffalo robes
and buffalo meat are valuable, and if
our herds increase at the same rate
as they have done, which is 15% per
annum, we will have in 25 years' time
45,895 buffalo in the. Dominion Parks
and forest reserves.- If we were to
carry this rate of increase for 50
years, would give us 1,489,500 head.
If a buffalo herd of this size could be
maintained on the non-agricultural
lands, it would give 195,450 animals
per year for slaughter. Such would
mean 117,270,000 lbs. of beef, if we
reckon each animal as producing 600
lbs. What effect on'the cost of liv-
ing would 58,635 tons of buffalo beef
per alumni have, if marketed between
August and December of each year?.
Figures similar to those that I have
applied to the buffalo, could be ap-
plied to the breeding of moose, elk or
caribou. It is 'very evident that much
of our north land is best suited for
the production of buffalo, moose, elk,
caribou and reindeer, and that these
animals will some day be a big fac-
tor in Canada's meat trade.
A Valuable Ally.
MORE BOYS THAN GIRLS.
In the birth column of one of the
London newspapers three-fourths of
the births announced are of the male
sex, according to a correspondent who
puts forth the theory that there are
more boys than girls born during war
times.
The Registrar -General's depart-
ment, however, does not encourage
this theory, as on bding questioned on
the subject, the following statement
was elicited:
"After the only great war the na-
tion has waged since accurate statis-
tics have been recorded, the Crimea,
there was no marked increase in the
proportion of boys. The excess of
boys over girls during the years 1851
to 1860, which included the war, was
less in fact than during the previous
ten years."

A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN
AFTER LA GRIPPE
It Leaves the Sufferer a Victim
of Many Forms of Weakness
Ask those who have had la grippe
regarding the present condition of
their health and most of them . will
answer "Since I had the grip I have
never been .well." There is a persis-
tent weakness of the limbs, bad diges-
tion, shortness of breath and palpita-
tion of the heart caused by the thin -
blooded condition in which grip al-
most always leaves its victims after
the fever• and influenia have sub-
sided. They are at the mercy of re-
lapses and complications, often very
serious. This condition will continue
until the blood is built up again, and
for this purpose nothing can equal a
fair treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, which quickly make the
blood rich and red, drive the lingering
germs from the system and transform at
despondent grip victims into cheerful, 1
healthy, happy amen and women. Mr. n
John Battersby, London, Ont., says:-- s
"Just before Christmas, 1914, I was 1
taken clown with an attack of lad c
grippe, and the trouble left me in ale

We have the foundation animals
now, we have the range and the
country suited to thein, all we need to
do is to remove those factors which
tend to destroy or prevent the in
crease of the herds. These animals
are the product of the wild, and
adapted to the environment in which
they will live, and increase greatly if
given the same- careful management
that has made domestic animal breed-
ing profitable.
The more accessible grazing lands
of the Dominion forest reserves will
sways be used for domestic cattle,
horses and sheep, while the rough or
tore northerly portions of the •pre-
ent forest reserve areas and northern
ands, which will eventually be in -
luded in the forest reserves, may be
secs in the production of wild sweats.
