The province, it has been estimated contains about 1,920,000 feet of saw timber or 4,000,000 feet B. M. Alberta is estimated to contain about twenty one billion board feet of saw timber, the principal species be- ing spruce, lodgepolo pine, Douglas fir. poplar, balsam fir, white birch and tamarac. Fires have wrought destruc- tive havoc in the forests of the pro- vince, much of which has been devas- tated and on the burnt•over areas the reproduction is mainly lodgepole pine, with area sof poplar and birch. Lum- bering operations are principally con- IIned to the Rocky Mountains Reserve, which contains all the lumber at pre- sent merchantable in Alberta. There are nearly eight hundred square miles at present under license on permits issued prior to tete establishment of the reserve. Saskatchewan Well Timbered. In Saskatchewan the area actually timbered with merchantable trees is about 750,000 acres, the country to the north-east being heavily timbered with spruce, tnmarac, and jack pine. Prince Albert is the centre of Saskatch"ewan's lumber industry. Though the timber trade of the prairie provinces has not as yet made a startling record in Dominion figures it is provincially of a high value and of great local importance, and the econo- mic history of the great plains would have been very different but for their possession of the northern woods. Whilst little, if any, of the timber cut ever gets beyond the borders of its native ,province, there is a local mar- ket whose demands are increasing yearly. The prairie provinces are showing a steady expansion perhaps unprecedented in the history of new countries, and their cities and towns, and above all their agricultural areas, have need of lumber in ever increas- ing quantities. The lumber cut for the year 1918, the latest return available, for the prairie provinces, was, according to the Dominion Bureau ot Statistics, 152,270 million feet 13. M., valued at $3,830,053. This is divided among the three provinces as follows: Manitoba, 54,407 million feet, worth $1,240,062; Saskatchewan, 76,835 million feet, worth $2,122,307; and Alberta, 22,338 million feet, worth $473,694. The total cut of the three provinces represents near1 over the Dominion. }� Administered by Dominion Government. In the provinces of Alberta, Sas- , katcliewan and Manitoba, in common with the North West Territories and the Rai evny Beit in British Columbia, !the forests are administered by the Department at the Interior of the Do- minion government, from es, tom Leases of timber or permits to cut upon forest reserves must be Secured. There are thirtymine forest reserves in 11'est- ern Canada, twenty-six at which, with an aggregate area of nearly 32,500 square miles, are situated in the three prairie provinces. Little has yet been noted of the pulpwood resources of these provinces, an important item at the present time in view of the heavy call being made' upon the forests of the east and the commencement made upon those of British Columbia on the Pacific coaet. Roughly it may be stated that the prairie provinces have substential re- sources of the raw material for the continent's paper mills, which aro delving intoevery corner of Canada's tenets for supplies, and that these aro practically untapped as yet, His Sult, Bullying I..awyor--"ITuvc you ap- peared as n witness in a suit before?"

Canadian agriculture has achieved a wide renown in a great diversity of products, the latitude being as broad, in fact, as the lines of agriculture fol- lowed limited only by situation and climate. lemmata, agricuhturally, in the first instance for Ler giant ranch- es which sent their big fat cattle alt over the world, she turned as success- fully to grain raising when the farmer invaded the rancher's domain, and in competition with the continent's first agriculturalists carried off the pre- mier honors, Later when the adapta- bility of certain areas to nixed farm- ing was proved, and the general ad- visability of this method of farming accepted, the excellent standard of her purebred stock brought a demand from many foreign countries for anlmais to restock their herds. In the export of fruit and other products' Canada is each year penetrating new markets, and would now seen to be making a bid for fame as a dairying country, with the strongest evidence in the way of a yearly increaslug output whilst maintaining a quality which keeps the product in general demand. The Dominion achieved a new re- cord in dairy production in 1920 with an output valued at 5144,463,188, which. was nine million dollars in ex- cess 0f the previous year's production. Creamery butter in that year, with an output of 11,030,399 pounds, showed an increase of 6,139,692 over the figures for 1919 with an average price secured of 563 cents per pound a,e against 54 cents. Cheese made in factories dur- ing the year aggregated 149,521,008 pounds, a decrease of 16,000,000 from the previous year, which makes the in- crease on the total dairy products ill the more remarkable and pi:laeing. In addition to these two products cut-' denseries turned out 53,369,642 pounds ! of evaporated milk, and 7,574,668 pounds of milk powder, The total value of all dairy products as previous- ly stated was $144,483,153. West Features in Production. The production of creamery butter which has been so favorably received on a wide market and of which more than ten million dollars worth was ex- ported in 1921, is aided in a varying extent by alt the provinces of the Do- minion, it being an important factor In agricultural revenue in each, In the year under review the province of Quebec led with a production of 40,- 037,692 0;037,692 pounds, valued at 522,352,146. Ontario followed with 37,148,398 pmunde valued at 521,243,664. These two provinces maintain a wide lead over the rest of Canada, Alberta be-, lug next in line with a value of more, than 56,500,000. Manitoba accounted for over $4,000,000 in this item of pro- duction; Saskatchewan, 53;700,000; Nova Scotia, 51,518,757: Prince 100 - ward Island, 5674,000 and New Bruns- wiok 5607,000, Ontario led easily in the production of faetory cheese with 92,847,769 pounds valued at 524,615,290. This is both a greater output and value for the province than In creamery butter, the only Inetsnco to be found among the provinces, Quebec followed in production with a vacuo of 513,356„- 476. Tho little province ot Prince Ed- ward Island foilowei with $021,055; Alberta 5110,355; New Btenewicl< 5329,782; and British Columbia 596,- 1'34, 9'lre rapid mannerinwhich' the ono. dilution of creatnory products 1s Ia- creasing in Canada is indicated in a concise manner by a comparison with the figures of ten and twenty years o. In 190 r production 0 tl a e cream- ery f butter was 36,066,7311 pounds valued at 57,240,972. By 1910 it had nearly doubled, with a production of 64,698.165 pounds valued at 515,645,- 845. By 1920 it had almost redouble,' again with 110,030,399 pounds worth $62,306,794, quadrupling in value. A large factor in maintaining this con- sistent increase has been the entirue•i- astie entry of the Western provinces into the industry and tee past few years have seen the meet renrarkahle development of dairying on the prairies. West's Remarkable Development.. Tn cite the Instance of one province on3y, in 1920 Saskatchewan secured an Increase of more than 40,000 pounds of creamery butter over her previous year's record, accounting for an in- crease of more than half a million dol- lars in revenue from this source. Tak- ing the four western provinces to- gether, in the last five years they have doubled their total creamery butter production, the comparative amounts being 14,077,743 in 1915 and 28,120,940 in 1920, The value in this five year period has nearly quadrupled, the re- spective figures being 54,091,374 and $15,908,592. Dairying on the prairie is progressing at a startling rate. Manitoba in five years has increased her annual production of creamery butter from five million pounds to seven millions, Saskatchewan from three millions. to six millions, and Al- berta the astounding increment of eight million pounds, or from three millions to eleven. Canada in the past twenty years has made remarkable progress in the pro- duction of creamery products and the proportionately greater attention de- voted to, the industry in the past few years augurs yet greater triumphs for Canada's dairy herds with a mainten- ance of the same high standard of pro- duction. Indications of her premix - once in this industry, excellent fore- casts of her greater future are many, Already the dairy herds of Canada are being drawn upon to improve the „tacit of older countries. In 1920 after securing practically all the Canadian prizes in the same class, a Saskatche- wan butter -maker carried away tate second prize for creamery butter at the National Dairy Show, Chicago. To cap this a new world's record for milk and butter production las been set by Vella Pontiac, an Ontario Ilolstein Friesian cow owned by T. A. Barron, of Brantford, who in a year under test ending in June last produced 27,017 pounds of milk, 1,259 pounds of fat, end 1,594 pounds cf butter.

Symptoms of Heart Failure Are Unknown. As a remit of research that has covered many years, a di=_tinguished London phy's'ician, possibly the lead- ing authority on diseases of the heart, had this to say recently about the symptosis of heart failure: "No physi- cal sign or peculiarity of the heart it- self can ever give the information PO 10 its functional efficiency . so that one can say that no abnormal sign is of itself a basis of prognosis " Many people suffer anxiety on ac- ccunt of a supposed abnormal condi- tion of the heart- r, -usual 9119111(11, shortness of breath, su1:1,ily starring awake at night and other like synip- tonts.
