MISSIGONARY‘S SOX KILLED. Investigators keep reporting that this or that tropical wood is really well fitted for ordinary use, and can be had at a moderate price by use of modern lumbering methods. Twenty years in the tropics will grow a iorest larger than can be produced in a century in the north. Of late the subtropical woods, cypress and eucalyptus, have come to the front for all sorts of uses. Now "greenheart,‘"‘ an equatorial wood very common in Brazil and British Guiana, has been chosen for the locks of the Panama Canal. Until recently the coarser, comâ€" moner uses of tropical timber were hardly known outside the tropics. Mahogany, ebony, teak and roseâ€" wood were brought to northern cities for use in cabinet work ; but the same ships which brought these tropical woods carried back northâ€" ern pine for use in rough structural work in the tropics. Forests Grow Much Faster Than in This Country, Ome thing which the prophets of a worldâ€"wide timber famine forget is the supply of tropical timber in a hundred jungles, waiting the deâ€" mand of the white man. Mr. Whitley said that systematic cowâ€"testing, the bedrock principle of dairy herd‘improvement, was beâ€" coming more general throughout ‘"‘Ontario has 1,235,000 _ milk cows,"" said Mr. Whitley, ‘"With an increase of only #10 each the extra revenue derived from them might easily be over $12,000,000 a year, and that is very conservative. The possible extra profit is $24,â€" THE DAIRYING INDUSTRY A despatch from Kingston says : In an address far more romantic than the story of Cobalt, the great possibilities of the dairying indusâ€" try of Ontario were revealed to the Dairymen‘s Association of Eastern Ontario by Charles F.

The p:u'n and weakness may The early symptoms of Pott‘s disâ€" ease are pain and stiffness, At this stage the trouble may be mistaken for a strained back, or rheumatisin, or lumbago, until the awkward attiâ€" tudes that the weakened back comâ€" pels the patient to take are noticed. If the trouble arises at either end of the spinal column, the deformity may be slight; but if it begins in the middle, it is likely to be vory great. The disease may occur at any time from infancy to old age but it is most common in the pm-jmi of childhood from the third to the tenth year. It is the most seriouse of all tuberculous affections of the bones or joints. Pott‘s disease is the name givon to tuberculosis when it attacks the vertebrae. The vertcbhrae are the segments of bone that form the spiâ€" nal column, and they actually eupâ€" port the weight of the trunk. As the discase progresses, the segâ€" ments attacked are weakened by the decay of the bone until thoy can no longer support the body proâ€" perly. The discased part breake down and the spine sharply bont. This produces the deformed hack characteristic of Pott‘s disease.
