have a plan for the woodlot it is known as the bush and they cut their fuehrood and umber from it as long as it lasts they dont realise that if managed well it will produce fuel and timber yearly in perpetuity a common practice is to cut all trees of the more valuable species and the inferior species are left to seed up the open places the stock are allowed the run of many woodlots many farms are without a woodlot today because former owners pastured the woodlot and it is a sure prophesy to make that many more farms will be without woodlots soon as in many sections 75 percent of the woodlots are pastured the stock browse the seedlings each year and as a result there are no sap lings and small trees to take the place of the trees that are cut or fall as a result of decay a woodlot with out young growth is like a common ty of old people it will die out pas luring favors inferior species usually as stock will leave lronwood and cedar and browse off all the valuable maple beech white ash and oak a woodlot has a definite place in the economic set up of a form a it provides cheap fuel and umber also it is accepted as a fact that there should be a percentage of on agrlciil tural country in woodland because if there is not there is sure to be dls comforts and financial losses when the land is laigely cleared the first decision on the part of the owner is to decide on the part to be left in woodland the type of soil will be given consideration as swamps sand shallow soil and steep hillsides should usually be growing trees as their value for cropping and pasture is negligible another question that many owners will have to answer is should fine agricultural land be left to grow trees the answer to this question has often been no but to day many owners envy their neigh bors with their woodlots they real ize that it would have been a bettfr policy if all farms had reserved 5 10 acres at least as a woodlot in order to provide fuel as windbreaks for agri cultural crops as natural reserolrs for springs and as a help to prevent floods and to beautify the country side suggestions on woodlot manage ment 1 fence the stock from the area that is to be left in woods the trees will provide seed that will fall to the ground and soon there will be thous onds of seedlings reforestation by nature is much cheaper and more sure than by planting 2 secure fuelwood by cutting de fectlve trees and thinning second growth stands 3 reserve the healthy 4 inch to 10- lnch trees as they are ones tha will grow the maxlum growth of wood during the next flxty years rather than the saplings and old mature trees 4 utilize trees before decay starts as the decay lowers the quality of the wood and thus reduces the financial returns from the woodlot 5 the reproduction of the more valuable species should be secured possible and this object may be ob tained by cutting the inferior species and leaving some of the more valuable ones to seed up openings 6 plant trees in the open woodlot that has been pastured this speeds up the restocking of the woodlot and introduces valuable species that have disappeared or never grew there prt vlously these trees may be secured for by applying to the forestry branch parliament buildings toron many birds winter in canada contrary to the popular belief that a general exodus of canadian bird life takes place in the fall many birds remain in this country even in midwinter as is shown by the iin nuol surveys held around christmas by observers in various parte of the dominion the greatest variety ioi any area was found about toronto where the survey parties discovered no fewer than 9234 birds of 58 differ ent kinds on december 26th last these included seven kinds of wild ducks six kinds of hawks a mine four of gulls five

variety especially interesting b rds noted near that city were the winter wren and brown thrasher in this district we have the advantage of a comparatively southern position and of having large areas of open water near them so that our winter brd population includes large numbers of both water birds and land birds surveys have been taken at a time when the birds were stationary the southward movement was over and the northward flight was not yet un der way some of the birds noted in this district such as the snipe robots meadow larks wren and brown thras her normally winter farther south

supple body a slap of his tail he left the foamy deluge and soared into the air as if released from a spring in a graceful gleaming curve he swept upward for a second the arch of his flight was a golden red rainbow then he came to rest in a place totally different from any which he had before known half strangled he wriggled fur ther into the retreat in which he found himself then resorted to ag onized twisting and gasping as that retreat seemed to be taken with violent convulsions something prodded at him tried to dislodge him he was choking the world was growing blacker he gasped in
