wry Association sit Regina,
Pref. A. B. D. Reiss, A., M. F., of
the Univereity of Torontos in hie paper
dealt with the Dominion tomtit reserves.
He showed that in 1900 the Parliament
of Cana4a eetabliehed 21. fore et reserves.
She Asa in Manitoba, four n Saskatche-
wan, three in Alberta an4 eight lit the
strip testy miles wide in Britian, Colura-
bia, haotne as the railsvay belt. These
areae were oet aside (1) TO provide lain -

These reserves entbrace areas as fol-

Columbia, 890. Total 5,391 square miles.
It weld, require a special act a Parlia-
ment to withdraw any of the land from
therm reserves for eettlement or other
purposes, so that here is a great oppor-
tutity for the Government to protect
and improve this property.
In the three prairie Provinces the re-
serves are intended to supply nomestead-
ere with building material, fencing and
fuel, rather than, to' lux -Welt wood for
the limber trade, In therm three Pro-
vinces there is now a population of al-
most a million' and it will not be many
years before itreaelses ten millions. In
the meantime the consumption. of wood
for bending and industrial purposes will
be enormous, and will retire all the
lumber now growing on the reserves be-
tween Lake Winuipeg anaethe Rocldes.
There Is not nearly enough timber land
reserved te supply the needs of this
great region. The obvioes thing to do
is to create more reserves and protect
not merely the mature timber but also
the young trees as carefully as if they
were dollar bills. If the floor of this
room were covered with dollar bills' he
would be judged insane who wouldlet
e fire get started amongst them, yet
this Is the very kind of thing that is
going on. in the ease of young tree
growth. In Europe they say, "It is Only
Turks and Americans (including Cana -
(liana) tvho burn the forest." In the
case of the Dominion forest reserves,
• however, it is the policy of the forestry
branch of the Department of the Inter-
ior to do everything in its power to
protect the timber from fire, to lessen
the amount of waste incident to lumber-
ing operations, to stop timber thieving,
and to so manage the reserves as to se-
cure continuous crops of timber from
them. Other nations have been able to
not only secure but actually to improve
both the quantity ' and quality of the
crop -so why not Canada? So far the
great difficulty has been to secure men
with the necessary technical training
and administrative ability to take
charge- of the work. In the United
Statea the technically trained men are
snapped up by the federal and. State
Governments and the lumber and pulp
companies as soon as they graduate.
With the recently establisned forest
wheels at the University of Toronto
and the University of New Brunswick, it
le hoped that men will soon be available
for this work.
Upon Mr. R. It Campbell, superin-
tendent of fcgestry, Ottawa, falls the
heavy responsibility of administering the
Dominion forest reserves. Each summer
he spends oonsiderable time in the field,
studying the needs of the .localities in
which each preserve Is situated, famil-
iarizing himself with the actual condi-
tion of the reserve itself and, studying
how beat to protect and improve it. In
thhi work he is ably assisted by Inspec-
tor Knetehel and assistant inspectors
Dickson. and MacMillan, graduates of
the Cornell, Michigan and Yale Forest
Schools respectively.
Mr.. Ross then took up in detail the
different reserves in the three pro-
vinces'showing the location, size and
cluireeter of each, and mentioning the
problems connected with them. He
noted that, the rainfall being only
about one-third that of Ontario and
• the average velocity of the -wind almost
exactly twice as great, it is a difficult
matter to fight fire in the western
reserves. The only way in which
they can be protected is to patrol
them manner and whiter; to have
efficient fire guards and have roads
that will enable the rangers to get
quickly from one part of the reserve
to another. Last year 150 miles of
reads was made along the boundaries
and through different parts of the
reservist. This work should be con-
tinued. Last year twenty-five squatters
were removed from the Turtle Moun-
tain Reserve in Manitoba and given
land elsewhere. The same is true of
Riding Mountain Reserve, from which
120 squatters have been reznoved.
The removal of these required great
tad on the pest of the officers of the
Forestry Branch, but without their re-
moval it would have been folly to
atteinpt to place the reserves ander
Management. A great thing to be
done now is to protect the young
growth, have the dead timber removed
and get tree growth started on the

open spots. Citing the case of the
Turtle Mountain Reserve, where there
is a bare patch of fifty-five square miles,
Mr. Ross points out that It woula eost
$204,000 to plaut this with nursery
stock, so that it wilt be neceentra to
let nature do her own seeding or find
some cheaper metho4 than planting,
Last year Mr, laneteliel tried the ex-
periment of placing tree seeds in the
long give and covering them with eand.
The experiment has so far bee n success.
fel,
On the Spruce Wood e Reserve, east of
Brandon, there have been planted 20.-
000 Scotch pine grown front seeds at
Indian Head nursery station. From
the swamps of tide reserve thousands
of young tamarack seedlings have been
obtained aud planted at Indian Head,
and are reeking renutrkable groittie
Lest year forty bushels of spruce cones
were collected here and used for plant-
ing on the different reserves.
The Duck Mountain and Riding 'Moun-
tain Reserves are important es regu-
lators of streains in Northern Manitoba
and as game covers, being the rorne of
elk, moose, black and cinnamon beam,
and smaller game.
Referring to the Saskatchewan re-
serves as a whole, Mr. Ross noted that
the area is only 740 square miles, poorly
timbered, containing less than 00 mil-
lion feet of saw thnber and about 700,-
000 cords of wood. This is not much
for a population of 350,000. He asked
if the people should not begin to agitate
for the creation of more forest reserves
in the northern part of the province,
To create timber land by planting nur-
sery stock will cost a million dealers
for six townships. If Mr. Knetehel's
experiments are successful it will cost
a x;aillion dollars for twenty townships.
Would it not be better to reserve the
timber land now existing and spend the
money in increasing the planting which
nature has done? .
Mr. Ross calls attention to the water-
shed known as the Eastern Slope of the
Rookies, This contains 8,244 square
milee, most of which is wholly unsuited
for agriculture. He quoted from a re-
port of Inepector MacMillan' who asks
if coramon lumber costs $22per M, in
the prairies now with a million popula-
tion, what will it cost when there is a
population of ten. million, when most of
the forest land will have been cut and
burned over? The coal mining industry
of Alberta will require forty -fine billion
feet of mine props e the product of nine
million acres for sixty years. This says
nothing of raieways, settlers and other
requirements. These facts along with
the need of Irrigation shows the need
for turning the Eastern Slope into a
forest reserve before it was too late,
The new teacher glanced smilingly
over the school and was delighted to see
so many bright young faces among her
new charges.

I were to divide three bananas among

"A riot," said Maggie, speaking up
like a little- drum major.
"Possibly,' said the teacher, "but that
is not what I mean. Tommy, you may
take the question. Three bananas Am-
ong three boys -that would be one ban-
ana apiece for each boy. Now, three
bananas among seventeen boys would
be what?"
"Three bananas, mum," answered Tom-

"I know, but three into seventeen is"

"Three bananas would go into seven-

Tommy, confidently.

The if in a Shark Story.
While swimming in the Gulf of Mexico
with, a party of friend's during a cruise
last week Editor Straub was fiercely at-
tacked by a shark, and only succeeded
it beating it off after a desperate strug-
gle into shallow waten Miss Blanche
wos swimining at his side, and. the poen
sibilities of what might have been are
rather appalling.
Mr. atraub, Mise Blanche and Paul L.
James were attempting a long distance
sseini, during which Mr. Straub felt some
object pereistently and sharply striking
his_ person from enderneath, but not
svisrlaing to drop out of the raee he mere.
ly.struek under to drive off what he pre.
Burned was some fish and. kept on hie
way. Reaching his goal in shoal water,
with the attacks keeping up, he wee
able to give his assailant personal atten.
tion, and found a ehark about 14 inches
long ferociously yanking- away at the
tie strings of his balling suit, as if &fly
determined to devour him, strings, suit
and all.
If the shark had been just as firrocieus,
and 14 feet long instead of 14 inches -
but thet would have been another story.

The colt should have a variety of

ous dames of its body. Clover hey and
wheat bran contain necessary mineral
matter for the building of bone. Flax-
seed meal in smeAl quantitiee is good. for
keeping the colt's bowels in good condi-
tion, and for. making the coat sleek.
The value of sulphate of aramonia as
a fertilizer was demonstrated in some
German tests where marsh lands were
fertilitzed with nitrate of soda and nil-
phate of Ammonia, With both oats end
beets the plants receiving sulphate yield-
ed much more than those receiving ni-
trate. These results indicate that on
marah lands a liberal supply of lime,
sulphate of ammonia may be advan-
tageously substituted for nitrate of soda
and confirms the wisdom of the practice
In Germany.
e. Cottonseed meal contains about 7 per
cent. nitrogen, or nearly half as much
as nitrate of soda. It is, therefore, called
a nitrogenous fertilizer, but contains,
also, some potash and phosphoric acid.
According to Professor J. B. Smith, of
the New jersey Experimental Station,
the raost favorable time for spraying to
kill the San Jose scale is in the early
fall, when the leaves begin to turn yea
ow. At this time the little insects are
ctive and the spray does the greatest
damage to them.
An insufficient supply of bees will bin-
der the setting of fruit. While other in.
ects ntay take a part in the carrying of
ollen, the fruit raiser must rely chiefly
pon honey bees. Experience shows that,
hough bees may fly two or three miles,
hives should be within aalf a mile of
he orchard or s_mall fruit patch.
Strawberry Planting.
Planting strawberries is a bit ref fine
rt. You cannot crowd them into the
round as you would cabbage plants, or
hrust them down as rapidly as you do
aspberries, but you must make a hole
bout half as large again as the roots of
he plant, when spread out in all direc.
ions; in the centre of the hole let the
irt be mounded, so that when the plant
set on the top of that it will be a lit -
le higher than the level of the ground,
pread the roots over this and brush
he hole half full of dirt; now crowd
own tiglatly until the crown of the
lant is exactly level with the soil; then
ill tne hole full of soil lightly pressed,
nd brush over the top dirt not pressed
t all. The plant should now set exaet-
y level with the surrounding dirt, and.
he reason for this is that the runnersh
hen starting should have noting, to
inder them. The crowding down is an
mportant matter with all plants, and
he spread of the roots is vitally import-
nt with the strawberry. The loose
rt on top will serve as a mulch to re-
ain moisture in the soil, and gather it
rom the air. As soon as the bed is fin-
ned there should be a top dressing or
ulch of fine, rich compost. I suppose
hat most of the planters would direct
ou to use comraercial fertilizers. If you
nsist on doing this you will find direc
ion i in the bulletins of many of the
xperiment stations.
Irrigation is more essential for the
trawberry than f or any other- meraber
f the Rosatexte family. .A small bed
ear the bowie can be attended to with
ttle difficulty, but a email plot near
he barn can often. be watered with hose

THE CARE OF LAMPS.
Hints on How to Manage Them to
Get the Best Results.
The following suggestions on the pro.
per care of lamps are from a pamphlet
issued recently by the London County
Council:
The oil reservoir should be of strong
metal, properly folded and soldered at
the joint and should not be of china,
glass or other fragile material, There
should be no opening between the reser-
voir and the burner other than through
the tube which holds the wick, and tide
tube should be extended to within a
quarter of an itch of the bottom of the
reservoir and should have no opening
into the reservoir except at its base.
The burner should be securely attach.
ed to the reservoir, preferably by means
of it strong and well made screw attach-
ment. There should be no openings
through which oil could flow from the
reservoir should the Itunp be upset.
Every table lamp should have a broad
and heavy base, to which the reservoir
should be strongly attaehed.
Wicks should be soft and not lightly
plaited and should quite fill the wick
tube without lia,ving to be 'squeezed into
it They should be frequently renewed
and before being put into lamps should
be dried at a fire and thee, immediately
soaked with oil,
The reservoir should be filled witis oil
before the lamp is lit, and the lamp
should be kept thoroughly clean.'all
oil should be carefully wiped. off anaall
charred wick and dirt removed 'before
lighting. When first lit, the wick should
be partially turned down and then grad-
ually raised, The -wick should not be
tinned down, as there is then a greater
liability to explosion in lamps of .uneafe
construction.
Lamps which have no extinguishing
apparatus should be put out as follows:
The wick should be turned down until
there is only a swill, flickering flanie,
and a sharp puff of breath should then
be sent across the top of the chimney,
but not clown it. Cans or bottles used.
for oil should be free from water or
dirt, and should be kept thoroughly
closed.

NERVOUS DISORDERS
Promptly Cured by the Use of
Dr. Williams' Pink PHIS.
If your hand trembles or is unsteady,
remember that this is a sure and early
sign of your nervous system being at
fault. The mischief may develop slowly
to a worse stage. You feel unaccountably
weak and weary after exertion; you
lose flesh; you turn against food and
stiffer palpitations and indigestion after
eating. At dines you are intensely ir-
ritable, greatly depressed and easily wor-
ried, Sometirsies sharp pains shoot dowe
your spine and lege and probably nen-
rale% robs you of your sleep at night.
These are some of the troubles that in-
dicate the presence of nervous collapse
and. possibly paralysis. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills have wou a great reputation
by curing all forms of nervous disease.
The nervous system depends entirely up-
on the blood supply for nourishment;
when the blood is thiu and weak the
nerves aro affected as described. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills educate, inereme
the supply of good red blood, feed,
strengthen and tone the nerves, enable
them to' perform their funotions and
dispel all signs of a breakdown.
Mrs. Jas. H. Ward, Lord's Cove, N.
B.'says: "About two years ago I suf-
fered so much from nervous prostration
that I was little better than a helpless
wreck. 1 suffered from headaches and a
constant feeling of dizziness. The least
unusual move would startle me and set
my heart palpitaing violently. I had
little or no appetite, and grew so weak
that I was hardly able to drag myself
about, and could not do my housework.
In every way I was in a deplorable con-
dition. As the medicine I had been tak-
ing seemed to do me no good, my hus-
band got a supply of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. I had only been taking the
Pills for a couple of weeks, when 1 seenz-
ed to feel sonfewhat better, and this
encouraged me to eontinue the treat-
ment. From that on my strength grad-
ually but surely returned, and in the
course of a few more weeks I was once
more a -well woman, able to do my own
housework and feeling better than I had
done for years. I have since remained
well and feel that I owe my good health
to the healing powers of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills."
Every other weak, sickly, worn out,
nervous person should follow the exams
ple of Mrs.,Ward and give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a fair trial. These Pills will
send new blood brightness and energy
to the weak and despondent. Sold by all

RULES FOR TRAINMEN• WHEN
FIDO IS ABOARD.
Faithful Fido, en route, has become
an object of attention by the interstate
commerce commission. This solemn coun-
cil has found time in its regulation of
railroad affairs to turzathe limelight on
conditions of canine travel.
"Utiform rules for the transportation
of dogs," is the aim of the rail govern-
ing body: It appears that all seats of
fare eates apply when Fick is beitig
svhizted through the cinders. Some roads
charge a, regular fare, and the poor dog
must hold one end *1 -11 yard long ticket
string in his mouth until the conductor
man comes 'round. On other lines the
pets are tagged as excess baggage, which
ts injurious to the dignity of any pam-
perep pup of good family.
The members of the interstate corn-
mereer cominission propose to end all this
confusion by expressing dogs in the setae
manuer on all railroads. The result of
their conference probably -will be the
classification of the animals as distinct
from trunks, fruit crates, bicycles and
lawn rizowers. While the dear betide are

peoteci boon, more reason for flea bitten

dened by the weight of cares, we feel
She chill shadows of depression and
regret fall on our spirits as the zniets

we have stumbled in the rough places
where our erring feet have wandered.
Gather us, Oh, Father, into the corn.
fort and peace of Thy embrace, May
Thy forgiveness heal the wounds our
mistakes have made and Thy com-
passion overcome the sharpness of
our woes.
Rest us and all our dear ones,
Father. The long day of labor is end-

give promise of no earthly refuge Irene
the earking cares, Oh, Father, give
us rest this night and with the morn,
if it be Thy will, may NVe arise re-

In Jesus' name we ask these things,

Two Prayer -Lessons.
(By. Robert E. Speer.)
Our Lord despised hyprocrisy. No
other sin is so constantly denounced
by him. And especialy in prayer did
he abhor it. To make prayer and the
act of prayer to God; the more occa-
sion for display or eelf-exploitation
was to him despicable. And lie
speaks out with stern condemnation
in the Sermon on the Mount of the
public prayers of hypocrites. "When
you pray, pray alone to the Father
in secret."
Secret prayer is the test of true,
strong life. -14'was the constant prac-
tice of Jesus. We see him again and
again going off alone to pray and
often in the midst of the throng he
was still alone in prayer. He knew
what value such prayer has, and if
he commends it and assures WI as
ne does that the Father hears it, we
may rely. upon his word. We shall
miss the soy and spring seed steadfast-
ness and strength of life if eve do not
have the habit of secret prayer.
Secret prayer saves us from loneli-
ness. We can always have the com-
pany of God. We need only to clue
our outward eyes and open the eyes
of the soul, or we can have both the
inner and outward eyes open and be
with God." Father," we can say, "My
Father." No more than that will be
necessary often, and we shall know
that we are with a friend, And such
companionship, which can be main-
tained anywhere and at all times,
makes life sweet and calm. Whatever
is going on about us can not disturb
us if we are in our hearts alone with
God. The secret, place of the soul is
ever with us. Let us live there.
But in deprecating hypocritical pubs
lin prayers and urging private and
secret prayer, Jesus did not mean that
sincere public or social prayer was not
right and good. Exactly the contrary.
The other text assigned, Matthew 18:
19, 20, holds out special promise to
those who pray together. Its best
blessings require many sharers. We
only come to them when we come with
others.
Every father loves to have his
children come to him together. Let
the two, three, or four children in a
home come in a body and stand be-
fore their father and say, "Father, we
love you, and we have come, all of
your children together, to ask you for
lornething," Why, before the thing
asked for, the father's heart has
overflosved . and he has gathered those
;children into his arms. "My dear
children," he is saying, "I love you,
let us go' and do just what you have
come to ask." Well, the Heavenly
rather loves His children more and
not less than an earthlsr father.
It is a blessed thing to have tho
dear, firm assurance of Jesus, "Where
two or three are gathered together in
my natne, there am 1 in the midst of
them." That is better than a prent.
fee. Not, "There I will be," hut
"There I am." We do not need to
do any neking for his presence, If
we meet in his name there he is, Of
course he is. His name ie himself.
If we meet in Christ in the spirit and
love and character of Christ, there
Christ must of necessity be. And se
we can always find him. If we are
lonely all we need to do is to find
a. friend and be -with that friend in
Christ and there Christ is.
How eourd we ask mere than Christ
has already given Us? We know now
Where to find the Father and whoreftoot fxiins.dthe Saviour. That is enough
