Heferring to the dairy industry in Canada, it says it is in a very pi-osper- ous condition. Canadian cheree is now regarded in the Britisli mui'ket as second lo that of no other country. This is lai'gely due lo the introduction of cool curing rooms, a-s an adjunct of cheese factories, and the ample provi- sion for export in cfjid and cool storage. Largo quantities of small fruits of the apple orclmrds ui-e left over annually. These are not mar'kelable, owing to size, bul it might be pr-olitably manufactured into excellent jam, jellies, etc. II is suggested that co-operation would pi'obably convert what is now a lass hito a proYitable industry. The report concludes : "A careful sur- vey of lire entire field demonstralos that agriculture, Ihe cor-rer-slone of national weullh and power is in a more prosper- ous condition at present in Canada than in anv other country of the world, while "the vet unmeiisurcd territory of rich virginal lands awaits .settlement, ready lo respond bounteously to the in-, duslry and intelligence of many millions of willing liontls. In ii word, Canada is the world's greatest bread Held of the day." TREASUBE CAVE REVEALED. Enrtliqiiakes Near Lisbon DIsrIose Buc- caneer's Hoard.

In the orcliard or park trees aro pruned by the hand of man ; in a forest trees do their own pruning. TIds is one of the striking differences between the treatment of trees by the fruit far- mer and the arboriculturist and the forester's treatment of them. In a forest not many years pass {e» pecially if the trees are nearly nil about Itio same ago ; or, to use the forester's terms, if Iho stand is an even-aged one) before the light begins to be cul off from the lower bi-anclies of Uie trees. Now, as light is essential for the fonnation of the food of trees and other plants and so for tlieir proper nourishment and growth, so the lower branches of the trees, from which the light has been cut off, gradually die, leaving Ihe upper branches lo nianufacluro the treys food and so maintain its life. Grudimlly the dead branches become weaker and eventually aro broken off by the wind or some other agency. This process goas on all through Ihe tree's growth, brandies gi'owing out and in the coui'se of year's being discarded as Ihe iitHxl for lliem disappears. Finally, as growth in diameter pws ceeds, the stuli, if any has been left, is surrounded by the new wood and forms u knot in tlie tree. And so, often thei'c is found the long stem of tlie tree, llfty, seventy, a hundred or more feet in length, with no such stubs lo be seen, the dead stulvs having been grown over. The e.ssenlial point to be noted is that, in growing trees under forestry methods, artilicial pruning is not done, but Iho natural pruning is relieil on. In the vast nuijorily of cases, artificial pruning would not pay, for Ihe original cost of pruning, together with twenty or thirty years' iiiteiiest on it, would take up a lai'ge pi'o|K)rtion of Ihe nionay received from Ihe Ii'wn. And Ih? timincial as- pect of the (pieslion is always belore tlie forester's mind. SNOW IN SASKATCHEWAN. Tlierinonieter at Liiinsdrn Registered Eight Above Zero.
