In the first issue of the "Canada farmer" in 1864 on the 1st page you will find the first article published was on "Forest Management." Over 125 years ago the H‘ghland Agricultural Society took up the matter for farm woodlots. The price of fuel is evidently quite steady. When we first started it was at a very moderate cost, gradually increasing until now we cannot do without imported coal. Our most imâ€" portant field crop has slipped through our fingers in Southern Onâ€" tario. Forty years ago a village of two thousand people required two thousand cords of wood to keep it warm. ‘That gave work to outr farm helpers in winter. All the money for fuel was distributed in the commuâ€" nity. The bricklayer, the cheese maker and others cut wood and reâ€" celved their own fuel in exchange at a very moderate cost.

Forests grow very rapidly and soon come into eervice and value.

No farm land can retain fertility unless the by products together with commerclal fertilizers are placed on the soil. The humus content of the soil is important and what happened in Western Canada with the violent wind storms showed how important it is. | _ The table showing how the Danish farmer supplies the British market with bacon produced from our foodâ€" !stufla bought by them in Canada whould at least awaken interest. The fields of Denmark are being fertilâ€" ized by the products of Canadian feld crops. It is singular that our exports of bacon to Britain have diminished to almost nothing while the Danes supply nearly two thirds of the nine million hundredweight imported into Britain. With clean crops and consequent better quality we should carefully censider the importance of the value of good live stock as a medium whereby our field crops should be marketed. The British millers many years ago announced to the people Of Wesâ€" tern Canada that quality of wheat is meintained only by growing it on clean land.
