Everyone who is interested in the progrese and mater.al development of Ontario, and more especially every farâ€" mer, ought to read the anouual report of the Bureau of Forestry for Oatario just isâ€"ued. _ L ke its predecessors it is full of informatiou on the subject of foreat preservation and treeâ€"planting, aund contains ad epitome of the latest practical conclusions and observations bearing on the forestry question. The aeriousness of the situation in Oatario has been recognized by the Pravincia} Government which have lately appoinâ€" ted a commission to make a tour of the Province and ascertain the feasibility of replanting some of the waste lands with timber. _ The figures presented by this report, compiled from the returns of the Bureau of Industries, show the extent to which the denudation has been carried in some of the frontier counties and the urgent need of some ative measure to counteract the evile which have resulted. The report deals bricfly with the broader and more gepâ€" eral aspects of the question, inssmuch as thp commission is now at work. It gives some filgures showing the extent to which the ‘lumber suppiy is drawn from Jands belooging to farmers, parâ€" tisl statistics obtained from 1,500 lumâ€" ber mills indicating that 365,000,000 feet, board measure, is cout every year from land under settiement, in addiâ€" tion to other than pine timber. It is urged that farmers should look to the wood â€"lot as a permanent source of reâ€" venue, and carefully guard such reâ€" mains of the original forest as they sess from reckless destruction. _ In &’:' of the growing scarcity, and value of many kinds of timber they are reâ€" gommended to plant their waste and ppproductive lands with such kinds as Are: likely to be in demand in the futâ€" prr, and some jntergsting apd coenyinâ€" cing facts ohoyingfiavdpa of plantsâ€" tions on farws are s Watorico Connty Chronigle.

Those who are now going up should fully consider and weiyh vhe matter before they start, for the Yukon and its tributary, the Klond‘ke, is so barren of fuod materials that the native Indians have existed with difficalty. When the winter shuts the miniog camps in from the world, and thermomâ€" eters mark the cold at sixty and seventy degrees balow zero, it is not easy to find food. The hardships to be met with, as may be seen, are many. The wminers, who have depended mainly on the supplies brought by steamers, say that they have been close to famine at times. This winter the scarcity of food, it is anticipated, may develap into actual fmine, unless the transportation companies, or others, take precautions to provide sufficient Illv'Si‘l before winter arrives.

They have invented several gaimes, some of which seem childish, yes these men who are out of civilz stion as it were for the time being, are giad of any change which brings veriety to the hbumdrum of their mwonotonous everyday hife. Reading maiter is at a preminm, and The method of keeping their supplies is unique, for of course there are no reâ€" frigerators in the Klondike countrr. The usual way is to build a "cache," a little enclosure set on eight poles frowm which the bark has been scraped. The provisionsare placed on the ‘‘cache,"and then all is covered with a tarpaulin. If the provisions were left in the cabin the miner would soon be a hungry man looking for bear, with vengeance in his should any newepiper, periodical, or book make its way to the camps it is read and reâ€"read by scores of the minâ€" ers.
