Strange isn't it? We wonder | by what stupid blunder those 428 stills were seized by government of- ficials. Probably the trouble is that : there is not enough government con- trol in Quebec; no doubt if the liquor bill of $40,000,000 is increased to| $60,000,000, there will be fewer illicit stills; and, of course, the Govern- 'ment revenue will be increased, while | | drunkenness will practically disap- pear. z you can't understaidl d, thi of Quebec where 'government ot control i he kapha 3 sky scraper, but he may at least start of genius, yet he may help a dozen geniuses into their life's work.

' Sometimes the average man gets a little discouraged and he does not do the things he might do. All about us are things that need doing and we all recognize the fact, yet each man says "I can't do it alone," and this is so true that he never makes the at- tempt. Yet if he can't finish it alone at least he may start it., He may dig the first few spadefuls of the foundation even if he can do no more. He may plant'the first tree in the or- chard even if he plants no more, He may say the first kind word to some sensitive soul, even if he cannot say it as gracefully as his neighbour. There are scores of things that ought to be done, and we can't do them alone, but perhaps we can start them. Is it worth trying?

Mr, Frankish prefers white, however, as he considers that the dumber from them will be three times more valuable than from the coarser Scotch species. About one third of the white set out in the dry spring of 1913 had to be replanted. e soil on this place-is a good sai loam, and stronger growth is very notice- able in the trees in the lower richer valleys. Originally a fine stand of pine covered the place, which has been in the hands of the same family since 1796. During.that year a title to the land was obtained and a saw mill erected. The latter ran continuously for over a century, on until 1918, to be exact, when the supply of logs gave out. The pine timbers of the original mill are lying near the dam where they rolled when the old strue- ture fell down. According to Mr. Frankish these long sticks of white pine are perfectly sound yet. Some day another mill. will be erected to care for the young forest coming on. In all probability it will be located close to the site used in 1796, where there is plenty of water from the thirty acre pond.
