There is very little snow on the backline from his own gate, although from there on the snow is deep even for horses. "What animal best accommodates tself to circumstances?" "The hen." "And why?"

Options already taken iin 500 acres of land will be increased by the purchase of anoth- ei' 500 acres. The land in that town- .sliip is c(uisidered the most suitable in the country. Agricultural Coniniittc' of the County Council, under which this class of work devolves, has been instructeil to obtain the additional ae- ii'air«> and report on the matter in January. A county forest for Grey was sug- ucsted to the County Council in the special report of the Reforestation (.Committee. Mr. McGregor's report revealed a survey of possible laud on which an option had been taken and the suggestion that the council take up the option if the property in Glen- elg township is approved by the De- partment of Lands and Forests. Nearly 800,000 trees were planted this year umler the Simcoe ('outity re- forestry scheme which is sponsored by the county council. Reports stated that 1.2K2 acres had been purchased for reforestation purposes during the year. The largest tract purchased was in Tossoronto Township, tiOO ac- res at $5.50 per acre.
