The reason for this is probably because that, . while they appreciate the shelter and 'convenience of the wood lot, they do not understand that it can "be made to yield a direct profit year by year ' just like any other crop. The last census showed that the total value of forest products pro- duced from the Canadian farm wood lots was | $72,000,000. Compared to ~ other farm products this was: over 11 per cent. of all grain crops; over 82 per cent. of all forage crops; nearly three times the value of all fruit crops; and greater than the to- tal value of the egg production. It might also be pointed out that about one-third of the pulpwood used in Canadian pulp mills comes from farmers' and settlers' holdings. The wood lot properly handled can "be made to provide shelter for stock, gardens and buildings, and to yield a perpetual crop. of considerable va- riety, namely, firewood, fencing, lum- ber pieces and frames for machinery, puinps, wagons, etc, maple syrup sugar products, a variety of _ediblé nuts and in some instances products of medicinal value. It is estimated by one well-known author- || "ity that the average farmer makes - 'use normally of about 2,000 pieces of |. lumber each year. 'If: this is not grown on the place, it has to be pur- chased and often enough freight paid 'to-have it delivered. A wood lot of 20 acres, properly the . handled, will provide all fuel 'need on the farm for all time. will provide fuel, fence-posts and timber and will leave a surplus to be d of at a profit.

That the smile is mightier than the frown, and "Do" a far better soldier than "Don't," is a lesson which most reformers are sadly in néed of learn- ing. It 18 easier to &cold tham to in- spire, but only the fuspirers lead for- ward and win humanity's battles, Words of warning are needful, but when prolonged into lectures of pes- simigm they defeat their purpose by driving the audience away or putting it to sleep. Take the matter of conversations] The country was impressed when told) that its natural resources were being destroyed and wasted so rapidly that ruin would result unless there was a change for the better. Buf after that had been dinned into our ears for a decade, we would have preferred to let fate do its worst than listen longer to the prophets of despair. The effective conservationists are those who, leaving the negative for positive lines of thought, bid us feast our imagination on the glorious pros- pects in preserving and increasing the treasures with which nature has en- dowed our land. . . In all concerns of the Commonwealth, and of individual affairs as well, it will profit us to get out of the minor key and to think less of the lions in the way than of the re- wards ahead.

Having enriched tselt many times | by. borrowing convenient and expres- sive words from the French language, the English language is now paying a good share of its debt by making France a present of one of the most valuable and cherished words it pos- sesses, A word dear to the heart of every English-speaking "home." Singularly, considering that the French are a home-loving people, for "home." The nearest she came to it was "foyer," meaning hearth, or "ohes nous," at our house, both of which fall short of the significance of home, English-speaking people have often remarked the lack with comml- seration. But now the phrase "le home" is ap pearing in French newspapers as a caption for domestic apd women's news and in advertisements of depart- ment and furniture stores. At first it was used in quotation marks, bit, hav- {ng successfully passed that probation stage, it appears on an egual footing with any French word--home, just like that. If we had had to get along without home when France adopted it there would have, been some prompt and vigorous objections. We could no more dispense ayith the word than with what it stands, for.
