The Worlds Timber.

The amount of timber supplied to the
world market by Austria Hungary, Rus
STA. Sweden, Norway, the United States
and Canada approaches the figures given
for the demend of timber-namely, about
,230,0000O0 to 1,410,000.O00 cubic feet.
From this we may conclude that at pres
ent the supply of wood on the world
market covers the demand. The ques-
ton is How long will the exporting
countries be able to furnish this amount
of timber?'
The price of timber is constantly ris-
ing, but in forestry this advance in value,
in contradistincton to other industries,
does not lead to the increase of produc-
ton: but. on the contrary, to more rapid
destruction. The forests already in ex-
,Stcnce become depleted, the old stands
ere replaced by young ones, and often
the cut areas are abandoned altogether.
Taking in consideration the gradual de-
crease of the forests and the growth Of
population, NJ. Melard comes to the con-
clusion that the equilibrium between the
demand and supply of timber in the
world market, supported at present main
ly by Russia and Canada, win not last
more than 80 years, after which there
will come n scarcity and as consequence
higher prices.-Forester.

STARTLING INFORMATION.
Found In the Examination Papers of
Some English Pupils.

Absurd and amusing answers made
by American schoolboys and schoolgirls
who were struggling with examination
papers have often been quoted, but mis-
takes of that sort are by no means pc
culiar to this country. The London Sat
urday Review recently collected some of
the astonishing answers made by Eng
liSh boys undergoing examination for ad-
mission to the great public schools or to
the army and navy.
One lad. in answer to the question.
What is limited monarchy?" wrote:
~ limited monarchy is government by
n king who, in case of bankruptcy. would
not be responsible for the entire national
debt. You have the same thing in pr-
vate life in limited liability companies"
Another answer was, "The diet of
Worms is the grub that blackbirds and
thrushes feed on"
boy not as conversant with American
ms with English history wrote, in answer
to the question, who were the pilgrim
fathers?'
They were the fathers of good young
men who went on the crusades to the
Holy Land
Another made this interesting contri
button to military history:
Sir Philip Sydney is noted for giving
the asst drop of water in his jug to a
dying soldier on the field of Waterloo.
The Duke of Wellington mentioned him
in his dispatches.
A papal bull was described as "giying
you the choice Of obedience or of being
accommodated from the church. SO
called bull from reference to the horns
of a dilemma"
"Molasses" was defined as 'the Ameri-
can word for the little mules used to
carry provisions up the Andes mountains
in California"
1t may not be out of place to remark
that molasses is hardly known by that
name in England, the older word "trea-
Gle" being the one almost exclusively
used.
1.-THE northwest passage" was stated to
be "a short cut to India through the Suez
canal and isthmus of Panama. Now
that America has been discovered, it is
Of little importance"
These blunders are amusing in them
selves, but when it is considered that they
are the result of faulty methods of edu.
cation, by which the brains of young peo-
pie are packed with mass of undigested
facts, they become sefious warnings
rather than mere laughahle absurdities.'

The uses to which the dog are put are
many and are constantly increasing in
number as his fitness for different kinds
of work is appreciated. In Holland al

A man in Haslingdean, England, who
recently applied for certificate exempt
ing his child from vaccination, quite
staggered the clerk with the Christian
name of the child, whereupon he explain
ed that the name would be found in
"Hisahi," eighth chapter, second verse.
The clerk looked up the Old Testament
and in Isaiah found the name Maher-
shalal-hash-baz. That's it," said the
applicant and thoughtfully explained that
he and his wife had come across it in the
Bible and thought it aristocratic and
therefore chose it. The clerk suggested
that John was more popular name
among the aristocracy, and the applicant
accepted the suggestion so far as to say
that their next" should be named John,
but this would have to be Maher-shalal-
hash-baz.

CHEAP HOG SHELTER.


There Is q tendency with many farm
ers to turn from the old-fashioned
hoghouse to the small shelters large
enough to hold possibly = .half-doxen
medium-sized pigs, says . Michigan
farmer in Breeders Gazette. Ev0n
farmers who still cling to. the large
lhoghouse are using small shelters in
addition 10 the other, where hogs IRE
turned on into field. and in some
cases n small yards the large house
might be used. The small house has
the advantage Of being more easily
handled, and involves less attention to
keep in order.
In building such . structure the
first thing is to build the frame. This
is simple, and can be modelled largely
after the general oItline OF the shed.
The first things necessary are therun-
ners on which the affair is to be built.
Perhaps nothing better than two sew
en-foot planks three inches thick and
six inches-wide can be secured. Hewed
sticks from the wood lot can also be
made to do. The general dimensions
Of the building are six feet each way

Points ON Horse Feedins.

Writing in Drovers' journal, c. p.
Reynolds says: The horses stomach
is built for more highly concentrated
feed than the OK. He cannot take the
same kind simply because he has not
the capacity to digest it in sufficient
quantities to supply his system with
the needed nourishment. The result
is when too much hay is fed the horse
becomes badly pot-bellied and is I'M.
able to secure the required nourish-
ment to work at the best advantage.
A working horse should have plenty Of
grain, which furnishes his nourish-
ment in the most highly concentrated
form that is practicable to feed. It re-
quires also certain amount Of hay.
but the hay is not to supply it with the
main portion of it's nourishment. The
most experienced Transfers ore rely-
ing on grain for the main portion Of
the feed. not only because experience
has demonstrated that it is the most,
economical, but that it is also best for;
the horse. 545
