Wood For Alt Indust"les.
Ontario grows all but eight of the
thirty-four woods used. I.'eaetically
all induetries are meter or less depen•
dent on wood. In Ont trio alone, ex-
clusive of the m enufttctures of rough
lumber, over thirty-eight industries,
represented by 1,200 different Srnns,
supplied the statistics recently compil
ed and published by the 1;+`orestre
Branch, Ottasva, ir; a bulletiu entitled,
"The Woed•Using Industries of Oe•
tarter." These firma in 1012 purchased
807,456,000 feet, board measure, c f
rough lumber, valued at $1061,381,
which, when nisi ufactured into sever-
al hundred finished product+, ranging
from handles to hearses, represent e
turning over of several tines this
capital,
Not only is it remarkable that EO
nia.ny different industries, even in-
cluding foundries, rutuire wood tt
carry on their operations, but it is
equally noteworthy that twenty-six
of the thirty-four kinds of wood tised
should grow in Ootario. The supplies
of some of thein, it is true, are nearing
exhaustion, but this was not always
the case, nor is it likely, with the
steady rise in wood prices, that this
will lot g continue to be the case,
Mr. E. J, Zevilz, Ontatio Forestry
Commissioner, says :—"There is a'
present in the old settled portion of
Ontario an aggregete of about 5,500
quare miles of ferment' woodlands.
It is safe to say that there ie, in addi-
tion to assessed woodland, another
area of 8,500 square miles which is
suited only for forest growth, This
means that southern Ontario cowl
eventually have over ten million acre s
of private woodland." . Ontario wee
ogce a land of valuable hardwoods,
and will be so again.
Another remarkable thing illustrat-
ed by this bulletin is the variety of
uses to which woods, still common in
Ontario, may be put. Eine and bass-
wood are used in thirty-one industries,
and ash is another valuable hardwood
with a wide range of use. Maple; Ont-
ario's.most important hardwood, has
over one hundred listed uses, while
birch and beach aro being increasingly
used especially fur hardwood fl coring.
Pine forms 217 per cent of all the
wood purchased by these industries,
but it is gradually replaced by spruce,
as the supply is nearing exhaustion..
By observing the uses and then consult-
ing the classified directory cif m uifac-
tut es, nraxkets may be ascertained for
cherry, apple, surnae and other sup
posedly little used hardwoods, and also
for many forms of wood -waste.

Farm Machinery—Its Care And
Abuse.
While it is true that many farms
are not Equipped as they should be
with proper machinery, it is also true
that, hundreds of dollars are lost in
unnecessary outlay, and thousands in
unnecessary depreciation.
During the Agricultural Survey
work conducted by the Lands Com-
mittee in 1913, some interesting facts
in this connection were revealed. A
farmer near Moosomin, Saskatchewan,
who after twelve years, was giving up
farming, held an auction sale, His
hinder brought eighty dollars and
his other machinery sold propor-
tionately high, It had all been
well housed each year and the
necessary repairing and painting
had been done. On a neighbouring,
farm a binder which had been used
for only three years, but left out
of doors and neglected during that
time, went to the scrap heap and
a new one was purchased. Condltione
similar to the latter obtain over the
whole of Canada, but more frequently
in Western Canada. An implement
house costs money, but if the de-
preciation on housed and well -eared -
for machinery is only one third or less
of that on machinery left out of doors,
it is good business to put a roof over
the implements,

Supreme Court Of Ontario,
Fall Sitting For Huron County
Held Last Week.
The Fall Assizes opened in Goderich
hsfore Mr, Jnstioe Britton on Tuesday
afternoon, and the calendar was clear-
ea and the court adjourned by 3 ran.
on Wednesday.
The criminal calendar contained
only the charge of killing his father
againbt Robot Gordon of Mc1 illoi',
and round this principally interest
centered. Iu his charge to the grand
jury, Judge Britton particularly point
ed out that it was no part of their
duties to alter the charge from murder
to manslaughter. 'Present the bill
is made by the crown officer for your
eouvenience," he instructed ; "becaus',
if it should be brought out before the
petit jury that the charge should be
lessened, the jury and judge can do
that; whereto, there is no way of
enlarging the offense through the
oetit jury," The grand jury presented
a true bill for murder on Tuesday
morning and when the case was called
pi ismer, who was very nervous and
apparently mach moved by his situ-
ation, pleaded not guilty. Then his
counsel, • Mr. W, Proudfoot, asked
permission to withdraw this plea and
plead guilty to nta,nelaughter, the
Crown officer, D. Holmes of Wing -
ham, consenting, stating that after
going oder the dispositions he agreed
with Crown Attorney Seager that it
would be difficult to convict on the
more sezious charge. His L'rrdship,
in asking the jury to accept this plea
and return a verdict of manslaughter,
offered no objection to the change,
which was recorded, and then Mr.
Proudfoot mule a plea on behalf of
prisoner for either suspended sentence
or the leniency of the Court. His Lord-
ship briefly reviewed the case and then
sentenced prisoner to six years in
Kingston Penitentiary, a sentence
generally regarded as sufficiently
lenient under the facts of the case.
THE GRAND JURY
Decided to visit Clinton and inspect
the County House of Refuge, going by
the afternoon train. Their membership
is at follows—William .Uartry of Sea -
forth, foreman ; John Ad -.,ms of
Wroxeter; Albert Brigham of Hallett ;

THE CIVIL CALENDAR

as follows :
B. Witmer and wife, of Goderich ve.
Harry McKie, of Platteville, two separ-
ate suits for libel, deft. being accused
of sending defamatory post cards

Witmer, now working for the Gode-
rich Wheel Rigs, used to live in Platte-
ville. He was bandmaster with a sal-
ary theoretically of $25 a year. Very
little cash was ever paid him, and
when he removed he retained several
band instrumente, by way of expedit-
ing a settlement of an account of $166.
A division court suit at Drumbo over
the instruments was won by the
plaintiffs, citizens of Platteville, and
Mr. Witmer shipped back the borne,
The post cards, on which the charge
of libel is based, were mailed to Wit-
mer, and also his wife here, and bore
such inscription as "Take a hint and
send back those band instruments :
the town is after you ;" "It's cheaper
to move than pay rent; " and "I love
you so I could soak you one," A re-
ceipt for $21due McKie Bros, by Wit-
mer was produced "'iltrultrellter
swore that he saw Harry McKie
write and sign it in 1905. Mr. L, E.
Dancey, counsel for the plaintiff, called
O. M, Stanton, of Toronto, handwrit-
ing expert, who more that the man
who wrote the receipt wrote the post
cards, McKie, In the box, denied
writing either, and Robert and John
McKie, brothers, could see no similari-
ty in the handwriting. .
In charging the jury .Itis Lordship
expressed no doubt that deft. had
written the cards, and in 'various
particulars his charge was decidedly
against McKie. The jury gave a ver-
dict of $200 for Mrs. Witmer and $100
to her husband, to which the court
added costs of both actions. L. E

laugh.
"There ain't," roared the unhappy
man. "I'm the only one !"
