"The large latch eawily," ear the
Dominion Entomologist, "bee de,
stroyed between fifty and one buodred
per cent. of the native larch, or tam-
arack." Every farmer in Esstern
Canada bas observed this mysterious
killing off of the tamarack In the low-
lying portions of ,his woodlot, Mr.
J. B. Tyrrell, who recently explored
the new District of Patricia for the
Ontario Governmeat, reports on the
large numbers of the tamarack in that
region, but ear, "Unfortunately most
of the trees are dead." Through the
continued attacks of a single forest
peat, whose ravages it is now impos-
sible to control, one of the most val.
uable timber trees of Eastern Canada
is now in danger of extinction,
In British Columbia, forest insects
have destroyed in some please over
twenty-five per cent, of the timber
crop. Technical foresters in. the em-
ploy of the Dominion Forestry Branch
have noted similar depredations,
when conducting forest eurveys in the
Northwest. Similar conditions prevail
in the United States, where on some
of the National Forests the damage
done by insects . last summer far ex-
ceeded that done by fire. H. S.
Graves, Chief Forester of the United
States esys-"A few isolated trees
attacked by insects may form the
nucleus of a devastation quite as
serious as that from forest fire."
It is very likely that in Canada as
much damage is done to the standing
timber by forest pests as by forest
fires. Fortunately the former are
largely dependent for their existence
on the latter, for fire furnishes the
chief feeding and breeding grounds to
the insect foes of the forest. Thus
the Dominion Forestry Branch, by re-
ducing the fire -burnt area on Domin.
ton forest reserves last summer to lees
than two one -hundredths of one per
cent (0 02%) has succeeded in "killing
two birds with the one stone." One of
the foresters, describing how this is
accomplished, says :-"Fire minimizes
the vitality of the tree and climate
takes advantage of the weakness,
thereby creating a condition favotir-
able to insects and fungi. 13y mini-
mizing the damage done by flee and
handling the various stands according
to one of the silviculture' systems
suitable to. that type the result can
only be strong, vigorous trees better
equipped to withstand all natural
enemiee,"

Plumbers- Linense
Dog License ... $2 00
Here is a case. Not long ago one ;4
the craft, who by the way has bnen in
the business for quite a number of
years, but who had to apply for a
Beeps*, went to one of our Canadian
City Halle and asked for a dog licence
(this is a fact), The official who grant-
ed such licensee looked the man up
and down, then asked the applicant
the following :-What breed of a dog
is it ? How old is it? Has it ever
bitten anyone ? etc., etc., and after
being satisfied that the dog was o. k.
said, "Alright $2' please."
The plumber had Bowe away from
home with no more than a dollar bili
in hie pocket, and at once elated the
fact. But says he, "I'll take a ptumh
er's license." Was then asked for $1
and went on his way rejoicing. No
question as to whether he wass
qualified plumber was asked" He
wasn't even aeked if he'd ever bitten
anyone (and according to public opin-
ion they feel they're often being
bitten) this man wasn't even aeked if
he was fond of children, No, he was
able to get authority to instal work of
the most vital importance, which, if
not installed properly, would play
worse havoc than all the doge that
ever existed eould do, providing each
had to bite one person and that parson
went mad. Hence we feel it is a joke
which is misleading the public in a
serious manner, to allow anyone to
get a plumber's license without any
examination of any kind and for the
small sum of $1. In Toronto, one dog

The night dieappeare when the day

'V'ict'or Hugo : ""The true human divi-

Cruelty, indifference to the claims
of man or beaet, strikee back upon the
cruel and the Indifferent. Prolong the
life of the average working horse of
the United States a single year by
feeding and caring for him humanely
and you add more than a billion dol-

When the principles of this educa-

the day of violence, strife, class hatred,
race prejudice, and war, is done, and
governments and social institutions`

trust is committed to the teachers in
our public schools than this. When
the fair fruitage of this work issues in

Mothers should not fail to teaoh
their daughters how to keep house.
They and their husbands will bless you
for it a thousand timeswhen they have
homes of their own. How many girls
1 have known who had no more' idea
of good housekeeping or homemaking
than a girl of twelve years old should
have; yet they were obliged to do their
own work. These were the excuses;
"I was always studying, going to
echool or teaching before I was marri-
ed," or "I always' did the family sew-
ing for I was not strong." Would it
not have been much better if the
mother. had interspersed some other
work for her own good as well as the
daughter'. ? It is very unhealthful for
a girl to sit and sew all day or study
too constantly. Of course, every one
is supposed to know that; but there
are many who do not heed. Beside.,
there is the lose of that beautiful com-
panionship between mother and daugh-
ter that is so deeply mourned in after
years.

Fora number of year. the Depart-

carrying on the work of re -stocking
and of introducing new species, on a
large Beale. The fish fry distributed
in 1011 consisted (exclusive of satin )n)
of various species of trout and also of
white -fish and pickerel. Altogether
332.278,000 fry of these species were
dietributed. In view of what we
know as to the requirements of fishes•
in the way of food, the queaion emu,.

certain that the species of trout placed
in a certain lake would find the right
kind of food there and sufficient quan-
tity of that food ?

A sad tragedy occurred on Wednee
day, Jan. 28, near Holmfield, Man.,
when Muriel, aged 17, daughter of
Jno. S. and Mrs. McKelvey, was lost
in a blizzard and frozen to death.
Her brother, Fred, aged 1.4, bad hie

were returning from school, which i'•

was .beginning to storm when they

roaring bbzzerd before they had gone
more than half way.
An uncle, who had been to town
for chop, came over the same road
shortly after. He found the horse
and cutter, but could find no trace
of the lost ones. The father and
neighbors took -great risks in trying to
locate them, hut all to no avail. Next
morning about 8 o'clock, Fred strug-
gled up to his uncle's house, which
was on the adjoining farm to his
fathex's. He and bis sister bud strug•
gled along on foot together, after

to the house. Shortly after one of the
