FORESTS MORE BENEFICIAL THAN SHEEP FARMS A very interesting question in regard to the relative value of forests and sheep grazing was raised in the evidence taken a few years ago by a committee of the British Board of Agriculture to enquire into British Foresty. The increase in population makes the question of itsfu- ture support one of vital importance, and the relative value of the different uses of land in their ability to support population is a valuable index as to the direction in which development of the use of land should be directed. From the evidence of several witness- es and that obtained at investigations it was determined that it took from one to six acres of the land usually employ- ed for sheep grazing in Scotland to sup- port one sheep and the committee was of the opinion that five acres would be about the average. The land used for sheep grazing is high, broken land and some of it is swampy and un- productive of feed. The number of sheep which one shepherd could look af- ter was considered as about 500, so that for the stock necessary to the support of one shepherd and his family 2500 acres would be required. Qn the other hand, the evidence brought out in regard to the number of people supported by a forest on such lands showed that 100 acres of forest would be the average per man employ- ed, so that the 2500 acres required to support one shepherd and his family would support 25 woodmen and their families. SUFFERED FROM Catarrh of the Stomach For Thirty Years. Catarrh of the Stomach is generally caused from some interference with the .ction of the liver, and is a malady that affects the whole body.

THE SECRET OF THE PACIFIC. A Riddle Still Unsolved Is the Origin of the Ancient Toltecs, Aztecs, Mayas and Incas -The Enigma That Lurks In Their Ruined Monuments, "The Secret of the Pacific" is the title of a book which deals with one of the great mysteries of the world - the origin of the aborigines of the Amer - leas. The author -C. Reginald Enock, P. R. G. S. -answers his own ques• tion, "What do we mean by the secret of the. Pacific?" thus: "Set between the world's mightiest oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic, lies that greatest of all Islands, the twin continents of America. A great mystery still shrouds these twin con- tinents, a riddle still unread, for whose solution the world may be said to have waited 400 years. What is this Mys- tery? "iiisiory will bave us believe that until the end of the fifteenth century these great seas had roared defiant, un• crossed by man, with the exception, grudgingly admitted, of some shadowy northmen from Europe, and that these great continents have been unvisited ever since the world began. Vet scat- tered for thousands of miles through- out the forests and deserts of these twin continents are the remains of civ- ilized empires which once flourished there --the ruined temples, palaces, pyrraadds and habitations of peoples and nations who rose, fell and rose again ages before the caravels of the vikings and the conquistadores turned their prows toward the setting sun. "What 1 have ventured to term the secret of the Pacific is the mystery sur- rounding the ancient civilization of the Americas, the homes of the Toltecs, the Aztecs, the Mayas, the Incas and their predecessors, What was their origin? What was their connection with each other? Dad they any link with the old world? Did they in old- en times draw inspiration and knowl- edge from Asia, Egypt, Babylon? If not, and they sprang unaided from their own SQil and created their own culture, what ale or were the condi- tions of their independent develop- ment? "It has been my lot to traverse. at least in part, those great regions of North and South America forming the western world which we have erro- neousiy termed 'new' -the ancient world of Ainetien before Columbus. ?ly travels ho ve taken me' upon the trails of Cortes and Pizarro, trails Which in some rases are almost as re - note and difficult today as they were when fiat traversed by the white pian from Enrnpe and the horse first ascend ed the Andes. "lint to those jonrneyings we must 'odd other incursions throngh space and time, both real and conjectural, which will take us from Mexico to Egypt, from Peru to Babylon, from the American shores to the strange islands of Polynesia. From those broad re- gions where the 'Toltec, the Aztec and the Inca flourished we must seek to gather up those threads which some have conjectured lead to Asia. "C\'hnt are the monuments left by 1hese nncient peoples, and whnt are the evidences of their 'is-ilk:ttions'c For 4,000 miles or more they lie npnn the western .\merican littoral and Cor- dilleras and Seeni to extend in i"ntatrct parches across the Pncilir' ocean in ,t northwest path to Asia, like vast step ping stones between the old world and the new. in the rock ravines 'and scorching mesas of Arizona and ('all fornia, wildernesses whose trails were first 'napped out by the bones of har.ly exi,lorers, are the abandoned habits tions of the cliff dwellers. "Ou the thigh slopes and tablelands of Mexico are strange pyramids ami mysterious courts and quadrangles, with carved stone halls about thea:. n puzzle to the beholder. In the deme tropic forests of Yucatan are the sculp- tured facades of palaces and pyramid temples of exceeding beauty and in• geuulty, ruined and abandoned or sur- rounded here and there by the wattle huts of half savage Indians "In Central America sculptured stelae of great beauty and peculiarity protrude strangely from the jungle, while far away below the equator, along the scorching toast line of i'eru and amid the bleak tablelands and snow crowned ranges of the, Andes, are cunningly wrought temples and im- re nnble fortresses which our p g c coui l y have been fashioned ander the man - dotes of ruthless new world pharaohs or devout American Solomons. "In the Mexican desserts and by the waters of the mysterions Lake Titlea- ca of the Incas the sun god and the moon god held sway, and centuries ago unnumbered ancient worshipers raised great temples to tho 'unknown God.' "Deepening the mystery still, there Oise strange and grim upon solitary sett girt Pacific islands in the track of tiie setting sun colossal images and fortresses whose origin no man can conjecture. Here, in brief, are the chapters, written in stone, of some great and perhaps universal history -a history which so far we have not been able to inscribe in the general plan of human record.

Poultry Pointers, One of the greatest points in success- ful winter poultry management is to keep the poultry on the hustle, keep them scratching, and always on the hunt for small grains, or seeds thrown in amongst the scratching material. The close confinement that chickens have to undergo during the winter, in our cold provinces must be compensat- ed for by providing good food, green food, clean•houses, and abundant exer- cise. Just as walking is the most healthy exercise man can indulge in, scratching is to the chicken. Then see that your chickens are scratching. Keep your hens dry, cold does not effect them as much as damp, The combi- nation of cold and damp is fatal. Chick- ens can stand a great deal of dry cold, but will die off like flies in a damp hen house. +4.4.4.4.441.44414.411.44141.4.444.4.4.4444 4'+4'+++'+4++o++++++4 41 The Times41 e d' 4'i M: ClubbingList 41Times and Weekly Globe . 1,60 Times and Daily Globe 4.50 ,r,.
