Sold by Macâ€" These are some of the Government measures to meet a national crisis, But there is more for publicâ€"spirited citizens to do. Everybmyy who bas waste land ougbt to be plantiog it to trees. _ It is such a simple th ng to gather seed from the trees on your own place and drop them into the ground ! But you who do this will also serve your country as truly a= those who answer its bugleâ€"call to battle." l It is this situation that calis for the application of the science of forostry. The national Government through the Department of Agricalture at Washing. ton, as well as eleven States each employing a trained forester is actiyely engaged in it. â€" The United States Govâ€" erment has, for the last ten years, been busy acquiring forest lands until now it bolds 165,000,000 acres, which it is careâ€" fal guarding and enltivatiag. Nurseriâ€"s have been established for the propagaâ€" tion of stock for free distribution, and the newest feature is the sreation of a patrol of one hundred men to guard against forest fires along the Adironâ€" dack railroads. We are now using as much wood in a wingle year as grows in three, and there is only twenty years‘ supply of yirgin growth in sight. " There is a great movement under way throughout the United States and Canada toâ€"day, It is the marshalling of public sentiment for the preservation of |the forests. We used to think that the great American forests were inexhaustâ€" ible. And they were, for the generation in when our grandfathers lived. People of that day had all the wood they wanted to buro, _ RBut since their time wa bave been doing so many things with wood, besides using it for fuel, that forests of trees haye fallen before the woodman‘s ax where one tree fell before. _ There ara a dozer commercial purposes for wood which haye developed toâ€"day. It is used in the making of pai‘s and otf disher. _ And absolutely acros of trees are fed each day into the printingâ€"presses that turn out the great newspapors. j The United States have taken a fow steps forward but Canada has not been idle. Gangs of men are scattered in summer through the forests and along railroud tracks in New Ontatio and in Quebec. The Ontario government plaos to buy up old cleared lands in some localities that never should have been cleared, for the purpose of reâ€"foresting, The governments of the Western proâ€" vinces supply stock ‘ree and encourage the setting out of windbreaks, &c.. on the treeless prairies, ut with all that is being done there is need for the edâ€" ucation of the masses on the danger of forest extinetion and certainly legislators should find in the subject amp‘e scope foc all their powers. Following is the article from the Deâ€" lineator, a Magazine that should be widely read and that would prove a deâ€" light in every home : Under the above heading that oxâ€" cellent magazine the January Delinâ€" eitor has an excellent article which sbould be widely read and we give it harewith, _ The danger in the United Btates of forest extinetion, is duplicated in Canada. * For Your Countryâ€"Plant Trees Che Burkam Review Preservation of the Forests is a New Patriotism. aâ€"â€"â€"# #@â€"__._._ Small Profits ing for work Since last meeting your Comm re jam in Saugeou riyer at request of Dr Jamieson met, a government engineer and examined the situation and adverâ€" tised for tenders to be in by Dec 5th, when more tenders were received which we have forwarded to the Hon.
