Where Cane. Are Popular,

There Is probably no country In the
world where the use of walking sticks
Is so general as in the United King
dom. Practically every man carries a
cane. not only in the towns and cities,
but also in the country; and, in addi-
ton, there is a large demand for walk
ing sticks for women, these being used
extensively In the country and at sea-
side resorts. but not to great extent
in the cities.
The winter months are always rainy
and even during the summer the wealth
er is often very unsettled. SO that the
use Of umbrellas is also unusually
great. These conditions have made
the manufacture Of umbrellas and
walking sticks an important industry
in the British isles.

Year Of Christie Birth,

History tells US that for 500 years
the Christians had no calendar of their
avn, but reckoned the years according
to the customs of the nations to which
they-belonged. The Roman Christians
used the "Anna Urbis Conditiae" or
year Of the founding of Rome. to count
from; others counted from the reign
of Diocletian, calling 1t "the Era of the
Martyrs" and still others used the
calendar of the Copts Of Egypt. In the
sixth century, Denis the Little, Greek
monk living in Rome, made n calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date Of which he fixed at 1853 A. o. G.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founded in 753 B. G. At the beginning
Of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was an his
torical blunder. But no general no.
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued to this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schol-
ars to determine, without much pos
sibility Of doubt. the exact year of the
birth Of Jesus and to place 1t at what
we call B. c.

agriculture is realized. A representa-
tive Of the federal department in
vestigated the agricultural situation in
these islands last season and made
suggestions intended to help the peO-
pie there to produce more food.
The only crops the Investigator found
under extensive cultivation were sugar
cane and Sea Island cotton, the yields
of which are low compared with other
West Indian islands. The representa-
tive found that there was an almost
complete absence of vegetables and
fruit on the markets, indicating very
limited supplies Of locally grown food
materials. Stock growing IS followed

needed, better forage plants should be

FARMERS ASSIST
COAL S1RINGENCY
Use of More Wood Would Aid
Economy in Commodity.
MANY DOLLARS ARE IDLE
Il 10 Where Hauled Wood Can
Be Used Instead Of Railroad
Hauled Coal That Change Of
Fuel Would Help.

Are you a coal burner when you
might be wood burner? Have you
a woodland that isn't working? What
can the town man and the suburban
dweller do about the coal stringency ?
Much would be accomplished toward
meeting the present situation arising
from the unparalleled demand for coal
and from the great burden on the ma
tion's railroads, 1t is believed, If not
only the farmers who have woodlands
but city and suburban real estate own
ers possessing more or less wooded
tracts of land would draw on these
areas for part, at least. Of their fuel
supply. In the neighborhood of small
cities as well as larger ones there are
many woodlOts from which much fuel
wood could be obtained without en-
croachment on the needed shade trees
and without detracting from the
beauty of the landscape. In fact,
proper thinning in many cases will
help the development of desirable
trees.
Save by Burning Wood.
AS an instance of how coal can be
saved by the burning Of wood. the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has cited figures for II northern
and eastern states with a rural popu-
lation Of about 2OOOO,OOO which, 1t is
estimated, uses annually about 49,
600, 600 tons of coal. It is figured that
the substitution of wood for one
fourth of the coal burned by farmers
and for one-tenth of the coal burned
in villages would result in a saving Of
nearly 100000 tons. or between 65.-
600 and 10000 carloads.
1t is where team-hauled wood can be
used instead of railroad-hauled coal
that the change of fuel should be
made. While it is not expected that
the substitution Of wood for coal
could be complete, it is true that for
heating many kinds of buildings wood
Is the more convenient and ordinarily
the cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in buildings
for which heat is required only occa-
sionally, but then is wanted in large
volume at short notice.
Arrange for Burning Wood.
Furnaces are built especially for
burning wood in three or four-foot
lengths. If stove crate is too coarse
for wood a sheet-irOn cover over
good part of the surface will make 1t
suitable. or a few bricks can be used.

Power Of Money.

Money may be misused. The power
1t represents may be abused, says q
noted writer, Just as the power Of the
press or any other physical or social
force may be abused. And the desire
for money may be perverted, just as
may be any other normal or healthy
desire. But that is not the way to look
at money any more than it is the way
to LOOK at any other power or quality
of human nature that may be used Ell
ther for good or evil.

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A W00DCUTTER CUT IF

Taking white oak as fairly
typical Of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below will show ap-
proximately the amount Of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
Of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper Of the tree trunks. With
forest-grown trees, utilizing fhe
branches and tops to about two
inches, these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, one-sixth to One-seventh of
cord; Is inches in diameter, 60
feet high, about two-fifths of
cord; "a inches in diameter. 70
feet high, one and one-fifth
cords.
White Pine.
Ten inches In diameter, so feet
high, .one-eighth of a cord; Is
inches in diameter, 60 feet high,
one-third of a cord; "a inches In
diameter, 20 feet high, seven
eighths of a cord.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1918-01-31
Where TeamHaued Wood
Coal Of Fuel Be Made.

OF soft maple cord and a half is re-
quired to equal one ton of coal, and OF
cedar, poplar or Eastwood, two cords.
One cord of mixed wood, well sea-
soned, equals in heating value at least
one ton Of average-grade bituminous
coal.
The most common method Of making
cord wood Is to cut the trees into four
foot lengths with an ak and split the
larger pieces. The pieces are then
piled In standard cord, which is
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. The contents are 12S cubic
feet. of which 70 per cent is wood and
80 per cent air.
Best Heating Value.
To have the best heating value as
well as to reduce the cost of hauling,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned,

WESTERN CAnADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One Of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop Of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes Of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
but the price obtained was double that
of 1915, which in turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
of their first years crop. Further evil
dence Of the prosperity Of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
in every twenty of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone is taken,
1t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the corre-
spending periods of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg 5OOOOO,OOO more was
cleared in the II months ending No
vember 30 than in the same months a
year ago.
The entry of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions Of acres of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1918. It Is larger than In 1917, and
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested. The year 1913
should also see a further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes Of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that 1t was impossible to meet 1t
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
increase of between 25 and so per cent
in 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest II
In the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fghting.-Advertise

Because of the unusual demand for

portunity not only for farmers to i'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
