CULTIVATING YOUNG FOREST
PROTECTORS
The Canadian Forestry Association
has just distributed $500 in cash priz-
es to thirty school children in eight
provinces for the most creditable es-
says on the national importance of
forest protection and the planting of
trees. Although high school and pub-
lic- school pupils competed with each
other, most of the prizes went to the
primary schools, on the ground of
originality, simplicity, and the evi-
dences of personal investigation of
the meaning of forestry to their re -1
spective localities.
SPRING WEATHER
HARD ON BABY
The Canadian Spring weather—
one day mild and bright; the next
raw and blustery is extremely hard
on the baby. Conditions are such
that the mother cannot take the little
one out for the fresh air so much to
he desired. He is confined to the
house which is ,often over -heated and
badly ventilated. He catches cold ;
his little stomach and bowels become
disordered and the mother soon has
a sick baby to look after. To pre-
vent this an occasion dose of. Baby s
Own Tablets should be given. They
regulate the stomach and bowels,
thus preventing or.. relieving colds,
simple fevers, colic or any other of
the many minor ills of childhood. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers
or by mail at 25 cents a box from
The Dr. Williams' Medicine Cu.,
Brockville, Ont.
'THE RISING PRICE OF PULP
WOOD
The Ontario Paper Company, which
is owned by the Chicago Tribune, re-
cently, leased 2,000 square miles of
pulpwood lands from the\ Government
of Quebec, on the Manicouagan river.
The price paid is the highest ever re-
corded in the annals of Canada's tim-
ber industry. It works out at about
$4.50 per cord of pulpwood "on the
stump," which means in the form of
standing timber. Added to this price
is the high cost of logging, plus
transportation to a pulp mill, and the
transport of the pulp to the paper
mill at Thorold, Ontario. So scarce
have pulpwood areas become that the
Manicouagan limits, which are rela-
tively remote, were keenly bid for by
some of the biggest newsprint corpor-
ations in the world.
SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT
OF THE BEEF BREED
IIERD LEADER
A beef bull of her heading calibre
must conform to both breed and beef
type. While it is true that any good
individual of any of the beef breeds
aria show abundance of beef type, the
animal in question may readily lack
those certain essential characteristics
that distinguish breeds. Above all,
the dominant feature of the herd sire
must be masculinity, which is chief-
ly shown by the possession of a`
abort, broad head; a strong muzzle,
and a short thick neat bearing
abundant indications of crest. The
practical value of a sire in a beef
herd is dependent to a great extent
upon the animal's constitution, as a
strong sire usually means a strong
calf. A bull of desirably strong
constitution -possesses a wide and
deep heart -girth, is level and smooth,
strong in his lines and is blocky and
low set.
Surplus males are naturally found
on the market at a comparatively
early age, as they hold no place
in their breeder's herd. The buy-
ing breeders appear to have a
weakness for sires of 18 months or
under, preferring to take a chance
on a good-looking calf than to play
reasonably safe on a proven sire.
Frequently opportunities are offer-
ed for a man to secure a tried and
proven sire with many years' ser-
vice ahead of him, at a fair price,
and where this can be done it is
much to be preferred to the selec-
tion of a calf in good condition but
of untried possibilities.
Where conditions warrant the
purchase of a bull calf as an ulti-
mate herd header, -however, selec-
tion must be based on indications of
further growth and development,
masculinity and quality,. rather than
on an overfitted calf in a high con-
dition of flesh. Even at this, a calf
may develop into an altogether dif-
ferent animal at two years of age,
and selection must he always confirm-
ed by reliable parentage on .both sides
of the pedigree.
The beef bull calf, whether in-
tended for sale, show or tee at
home, should be allowed to nurss
up to eight months, and if being
rushed for show a longer period is
permiseable. If the calf is allowed
to run with the dam in a spacious
box 'stall it may possibly do slightly
better than if allowed to. nurse only
two or three times each day. In the
hot Summer weather when the cows
are out pasturing ttte calf must be
kept stabled during the day, but
should be turned out into a grass or
clover pasture at night. In addition
to nursing he may be given a ration,
as soon as he will eat, of good quality
clover hay, a few pulped roots and a
grain mixture of whole vats. When
at the age of seven or eight months
the oats should be rolled, and a little
bran and a small quantity of oil
cake are assets to this ration. Wean
gradually, decreasing the milk and
increasing the ration as above.
Sufficient exercise is very essen-
tial as the herd sire must be strong,
rugged and vigorous rather than
fat and flabby. His stable quarters
must be roomy and comfortable,
and he should be out of doors from
five to six hours per day in good
weather. Quietness promotes facil-
ity in handling at a l times, feed
well digested and bettr health gen-
erally. Ring at 10 or 12 months of
age, and thereafter always use the
staff to lead him.
The object in feeding a breeding
bull is primarily to build muscle.
During the Summer months a ration
mude from the following is hard to
beat: Green feeds such as fresh
clover, green peas and oats, plus a
little corn later, and some silage. In
the Winter feed good clover hay,
rnots and silage with some crushed
,at and a little oil cake and bran—
eneugh to maintain good condition.
The quantity fed will range between
two and six pounds of grain per day,
depending on the size of the bull, the
number of cows he is serving, his
condition, and the feed available. He
should have access to water at all
times, plenty of salt, and where pos-
sible a good grooming each day.
THE TONIC THAT
(:IVES STRENGTH
Now Is the Time to Invigorate
Your System and Throw Off
Winter's Ills.
An unusually trying winter is al-
most over, but the spring will find
many whose strength has been sappel
and systems undermined by winter
colds, influenza,- pneumonia or close
confinement indoors. . Recovery from
this condition Is often slow, but it can
be hastened by the use of a true tonic
medicine. Strength and energy can be
restored, the stomach toned up, head-
aches banished and nervousness over-
come through a fair use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. These pills have a
direct action on the blood, enriching
and purifying it, thus bringing new
strength to every organ and nerve in
the body. In this way this medicine
hat. brought new health to thousands
of weak and despondent people.
Among those who owe their present
health to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills is,
Mrs. Clarence E. Misner, Chipman's
Brook, NS., who says:—"I had s very
severe attack of influenza, but after
the characteristic symptom of that
trouble had passed, I was left in a
very weak and depressed condition. I
could not keep o'h'•nly feet for half en
hour at a time, and words can scarce-
ly tell how badly I did feel. I had
been taking the medicine my doctor
gave me, but it was not helping me,
and as I had used Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills on a former occasion with great
benefit I decided to try them again. I
got half a dozen boxes, and soon after
beginning their, use I could feel my
strength returning. By the time I
had used up my' supply of pills, my
old time strength hid come back, I
could do my housework and keep on
my feet all day without feeling used
up as formerly. I feel that these pills
have been worth their weight in gold
to me, and I strongly recommend them
to other weak, run down people."
You can get these pills throughany
dealer in medicine or by mail, post-
paid, at 50 cents a box from The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
Ont.
JAMS AND JELLIES IN WINTEit
When, the thrifty housewife finds
her supply of jams and jellies getting
low at this season of the year, she
no longer has to deprive her family
of these necessities.
Bottled fruit juices prove an ex-
cellent source of supply in the winter
time when used in combination with
concentrated fruit pectin, which is
put up in bottled form and sold by all
grocers.
For Grape Jelly, measure four cup-
fuls of bottled grape juice and place
in large saucepan. Add seven and
one-half cupfuls of sugar, place leer
the heat and bring to a boil, stirring
constantly during entire operation.
Then measure one scant cupful of the
concentrated liquid fruit pectin and
add gradually to the boiling syrup,
while stirring constantly. Continue
to stir and bring again to a hard
boil for one minute. Remove from
fire, let stand one 'minute, skim and
pour quickly into sterilized glasses.
Jams are just as easily mode, one
of the most delicious being pineapple,
from canned, grated pineapple. Mea-
sure four cupfuls of grated pineapple
into a large saucepan. Add seven and
one-half cupfuls of sugar. Mit thnr-
oughly, place over the heat and bring

There are many other delighttul.
jams, and' jelliek to be made at this'
time of the year, all of which ara
quickly and easily made with the aid
of the liquid pectin. The housewife
who has not tried this interesting
method has a treat in store for her-
self and family.
WHY DO WE SAY THAT SOME-
ONE IS "MAD AS A HATTER"?
Mention of the "Mad Hatter" im-
mediately brings to mind a picture
of "Alice in Wonderland" and her
\emarkable , scene with the Mad
HHaatter and his friends, the March
!fare and the Do'mouse, and it is
only natural to presume that the
phrase "mad as a hatter" originated
with Lewis Carroll. --But this imag-
inative writer only gave a literal in-
terpretation to a saying which far
antedated his time, having been in
existence sinee the earliest days of
English history.
As a matter of fact, the phrase as
we know it is a rather cockneyized
adaptation of the original, which
had no relation to a hatter at all.
This word was originally "atter,"
which is old Anglo-Saxon for viper,
while the adjective ','mad" should he
translated in the sena of angry or
violent rather than insane. At first,
therefore, the expression was used
more to imply the fury and venom-
ous nature of an enraged snake, than
the harmless and oftentimes amus-
ing insanity of someone who is con-
tinually doing the unexpected, as in
the case of Lewis Carroll's famous
character. But, as time went on, the
meaning of the phrase softened
somewhat. "Mad atter" became
"mad hatter" and its primary sig-
r.:icance was entirely Lost in the
mists which surrounded the growth
of the' English language.
DISTRICT OF PATRICIA MAPPED
BY SEAPLANES
Eleven million acres of the forested
wee of Patricia, which will be tapped
by the James Bay extension of the T.
and N, O. Railway have been coni-
ph-tely mapped by the Ontario)De-
portment of Lands and Forests. The
information was mostly gathered by
seaplanes last summer, observers
sketching in the tree covered areas
from aloft and later checking up the
information by ground parties. The
ru,ult has all the features of the stan-
dard survey method with the addition-
al accuracy and remarkable speed
which only the aircraft can supply.
'l'ht entire job was accomplished in a
fraction of the time formerly occu-
pied by forest surveyors operating
from the ground.
