It is had practico to allow sheep or catth' to pasture in the mod lot, because they dostroy the young growth which should come on as soon as the heavier timber is l'l‘mUV- ed. Except. in the more thickly settled sections of the country lucrative employment is found for farm labor and teams during the winter months cutting and hauling logs, ties, pulp- wood. pit timber and cordwood. Even in the thickly populated por- tions of the Eastern Townships of Quebec where the farms have been cultivated for well over 100 years, it is quite common for farmers to handle from one hundred to two hundred ords of firewood in a seas- on. In any sections considerable revenue is derived from the sale of maple sugar products. jEXperimental Farms Note.) According to the 1910 census the Value of forest products produced on the farms of the United States east of the Great Plains was close to $2ll).000.000. In 1918 over 100.000.- 000 cords of wood were burned on American farms or sold off the farms to town and city dwellers. Through- out Eastern Canada the value of for- est products sold on the average farm is probably greater than in the l'nitml States.

Honey is the nectar of llowers gathered and modified by several in- sects. especially by the honey bee. Chemically, honey consists of sugar. about 75 per cenl.. water 18 per cent. with small quantities of mineral] matter and other substances such as protein, {mid and volatile oils. Very little, ahoul one to two per cent.. of the sugar contained in honey is so- crose or cane sugar, the ordinary sugar of commerce; the rest of it is dextrose and levulose or invert su- gars produced in the lirst stage of digestion of sucrose. The tWo in- vert sugars are. present in about equal proportions. but may vary slightly according to the source of the. honey. Sometimes the two su- gars separate and we find the dex- trose granulated in the bottom of the containers while the leyulose re- mains liquid on too. Honey varies in color from the dill‘erent sources; thus we have a waterwhite honey from the clovers and lireweed. amber honey from dandelion and fruit hloom: while from huckwheat it is Very dark, almost hhlck.
