One hundred years ago Huron
County was covered with a heavy
stand of timber. To-day there are
many well tilled farms with fine
buildings that are a credit to the
people who settled the County.
Some of the farms have the entire
acreage cleared and under ^cultiva-
tion. Others have a woodlot that
has -little value, as it has deteriorat
ed following excessive cutting and
pasturing. Would it not be wiser
to keep a percentage of the farm in
productive woodland to provide
and logs and lumber?
sides, stony,
swamp soils
in. trees, as
pasture give
these soils.
An increasing number of farmers
each year are protecting their woods
from stock and helping the natural
reproduction by planting trees that
are furnished free by 'the Ontario
Forestry Branch.
The^arm of James Carnochan, of
Tuckersmith Township, has twelve
acres of wooland that has never
been pastured or severely culled.
Thirty cords of 14 inch wood has
been cut off the bush annually for
the past 32 years. Considerable
log’s for lumber has also been taken
out at different times'. Sugar maple
makes up more than 60 per cent,
of the stand with basswood, white
elm, rock elm, white ash, ironwood,
black cherry and yellow birch.
Scattered single trees are’ ^cut
here and there, as they show signs
of defect -caused by decay and
breakages. Large mature trees are
taken out or logs and fuelwood.
The woodlot always presents an un
broken front as no large openings
are made. The openings are soon
filled by seedlings that start from
the seed blown from neighboring
trees. A woodlot cut in this man
ner gradually becomes uneven aged
with all sizes and ages of trees re
presented. it is the idea>l type of
woodlot for the farmer who plans
to make annual cuttings for fuel
wood, as there will be trees-reach
ing maturity each year. The farm
er may cut these and they equiva
lent to the annual wood growth on
the woodlot. A woodlot a® fully
stocked as Mr. Carnochan’s should
grow li cords of 4ft. wood per acre
per year.
Mr.. J. S. Kernghan, of Colborne
Township owns an 18 acre woodlot
that has -been managed similiarly to
Mr. Carnochan’s. It is a sugar
maple, beech, white elm bush with
beech and maple predominating. 20

nually and logs for lumber are
taken out. Timber is different
from other crops as it does not have
to be harvested in a particular sea
son or year. It may be left until
prices are more favorable or can be
used for an emergency. Many
bushes have supplied the money for
the big payment on the farm. More
consideration should have been giv
en to the cutting and after care of
the woodland, that it would be in
a condition to furnish another fine
cutting in 10-30 years.
Both woodlots present a fine
appearance as all the defective
trees have been cut. Trees are a
crop and there should be cuttings
to remove the decayed and broken
trees. Many owners- are allowing
trees to rot, while they pride them-
elves on the harvesting of their
other crops profitably.
Ten acres were left in woodland
on the farm of J. C. Smillie, Hen-
sall. The cutting of 40 cords of 14
inch wood annually and pasturing
was . gradually opening up the
bush. It i s a typical hardwood
bush with sugar maple, beech, bass
wood, white and rock elm. Five
•years ago the cattle were shut out
and planting in the opening^ com
menced., An acre at' the
the bush, that had been
years ago was plowed and
beans. In 19-30 it was
with white ash and red
has been cultivated and the trees
have made a fine growth. The white
ash averages '5 feet and the red oak
4 feet in height. Pines and spruce
planted in furrows or spot-planted
'made "a fine plantation but hard
woods (maple, elm, basswood, ash,
walnut) require cultivation to give
them a start. They do very well
spot-planted in a bush that is not
too open.
Natural reproduction of white
ash, sugar maple, beech and bass
wood has come in well. The large
maple and beech will gradually be
cut out for fuel and it will give the.
young trees a better chance, as the
big trees hold them back by their
shade and compete for the moisture
and nourishment.
Mr. C. B. Middleton, of Goderich
Township is leaving 40 acres of
woodland and planting 30 a-cres of
rough hills and flats along the Bay-
field River. Forty acres have
never been cleared and pastured for
years. ‘The pasture land had run
out and weeds on it were becoming
a menace. He decided that trees
would be the most satisfactory crop
on this rough land, as he did not
wish to break it up again and the
trees would be an effective weed
control.
Twenty-five acres have been re
forested to pines, spruce, walnut
and poplar. They are making sat
isfactory growth and in a few^years
will kill the weeds by their shade.
Natural reproduction has come in
thickly through the bush and in
the grass land adjoining the woods.
A pleasing feature of the reproduc
tion is the large demand by handle
makers, implement manufacturers
and is also used in the manufa-cture
of sk-iis. White ash will not seed
up in a thick bu&h as sugar maple
and beech do, but if there is a seed
near an opening there is generally
a great number of white ash seed
lings and saplings growing.
• Mr. Middleton practices selection
•cutting. In 1929 he sold ’200 trees
on the stump. The trees selected
for cutting were large mature trees
scattered through the bush. Their
removal is not 'noticed particularly
and saplings and small trees al

Pains In Stomach and Bowels
So Bad Would Have To Sit Down
Mrs. G Landry, Moncton, N.B., writes:-—“I can
certainly recommend Dr. Fowler’s Extract of Wild
Strawberry for cramps or pains in the stomach and
bowels.
“'Last Summer I had such awful pains in my
stomach, and lower part of jny bowels, at times, I
would have to sit down. I took ‘Dr. Fowler's* and
was soon relieved.
“When my children were small I always kept a
bottle ill the house and it helped them wonderfully
whenever any of them had bowel complainta."
