FORESTRY IN VERMONT.

People who buy lumber as well as those
who study the question Of timber supply
from an academic standpoint realize the
importance of applying sound principles
The Canadian government is wiser in its
generation than our own, for it IS Insist
ing in connection with the sale Of timber
limits In all parts of the Dominion that
trees under certain limit shall not be
cut and that certain other regulations
looking to the perpetuaton of timber
lands shall be rigldly observed, In the
not distant future the forestry movement
started by our national government will
take on as large proportions as that which
embraces the whole Dominion.
The Legislature of Vermont took a
commendable step last fall in the direction
of forestry promotion in the passage Of an
act providing for the establishment of a
nursery for the forest seedlings in con-
nection with the Vermont agricultural
experiment station. The sum Of $500 per
year for period Of Ave years was ap-
proprlated for purpose, but the experiment
citation is to provide the land necessary
for such nursery lat its own exense,
