water are put into It as required and the soup
done. The drawing OF logs In tho country
OF which Mr.. Greenough speaks Is all done by
single horses. and the powerful OK teams used
in other reRions are never seen there. A hdbi-
tant jobber may occasionally have an OK. but he
Is. always harnessed like a horse and driven
with refine. The oxen are small and SLOW. but
they are less liable to accidents and diseases
than horses, and II anything happens to them
may be killed and eaten. which Is no small con-
sideration. to the. habitdnt. Tho net earnings
OF the jobber probably amount to less than he
might have had in a large camp.where he would
be hired. by the month. fed. and furnished with
TODD. but he has the satisfaction Of not working
30 hard and OF being his master, Before
leaving this subject we, may mention that It 10
asserted by Canadian lumber merchants that
many times more timber is destroyed by fire
than by the axe. This seems surprising state
Laurentian hills. There is scarcely any earth
at all visible: nothing but rocks covered wlth
decayed leaves and rotten wood. As a matter
OF fact. this shallow bed. which seems incapable
of supporting the dense forest. will burn like
why the forest fires are 80 destructive in the
Laurentian country.
