It is sometimes argued that we do not need to concern ourselves about the forests of the future, because the forests we now have will last us for 50 or 100 years, or even longer; that it is futile to Worry about the matter, so long as we have wood. Of course, it is possible to estimate the length of time our present supply of timber will hold out, assuming certain fixed dom- estic and foreign demands (demands, incidentally, which are by no means fixed). This question has no direct bearing on the problem of keeping forest lands productive. Let us sup- pose, for example, that under certain estimated demands our present forests will last us for a hundred years. That is no reason at all why we should allow our cut-over lands to become wastes or near~wastes. In the first place it takes a hundred years, let us say, for a seedling to grow into a re- spectable tree, fit for the saw. The trees we are now cutting are on the average much older. The time to start our new forests, therefore, is nowâ€"not a hundred years from nowâ€" for otherwise we should have a long period during which we should be without adequate supplies of timber. In the second place, those who argue that no present action is necessary overlook one of the most vital facts in the whole forest problem, namely, that the destruction of forests in any one locality, district, or region has a distinctly adverse influence on the prosperity of the country as a Whole. The forest problem is essentially a local problem. To Consider Infant Welfare. A National Conference on Infant Welfare will be held in London, Eng. land, on July lst, 2nd and 3rd, 1919. Problems related to the medical, social, racial and industrial aspects of infant and child welfare will be dis- cussed. The Conference is being called by the National League for Health, Maternity and Child Welfare, the ofiicials of which urge that similar conferences be organized in other countries during the present year. Then in 1920, an International Con- gress is planned to bring together the results and findings for further de- tailed discussion. It is hoped in this way to carry out the plans of the League, which, but for the war, would have convened an International Con‘ gress in September, 1915.

That the adoption of European dress among the native Africans causes dis- comfort and physical harm'is the be- lief of Maj. C, H. Stigand. In To Abys- snla Through an Unknown Land, the explorer, who was studyng the lang- uage of the natives, pays he had ar- rived at one of the Abyssinian out- posts, and had stopped to rest his men and animals when this instructive in- cident occurred: Minard’s Limment Lumberman‘s Friend. The people were under a shum, or civil chief, and I lost no time in pay- ing him a call. The shum himself could not write, and he went through the vocabularies I had made out on my journey and suggested new words for me to write down. Several of the natives sat close against me in a most friendly way and said: "Has he such and such a word? Write it down for him.” One of them said, “Has he got kun- cha down?” I replied, "No! What is kuncha?" “Oh, write it down for him; he ought to have kuncha. Show him what kuncha is." My instructor forthwith opened a told of his shamma, and out hopped about twenty fleas. He casually re- marked. “These are kuncha. I will write it down for you." At that I said I was afraid I must be going; to which they replied: “You have not got klmal yet. Let me write that for you. Show him a. klmal." All those present began hunting in their clothes, and a. very brlet search sufficed to produce a few brace 01 kimalâ€"an insect to which I trust my reader has not yet been introduced. I bade them a hurried farewell and departed. Subsequent examinations of my clothes afforded me further op- portunities to study the natural his- tory of the kuncha and the klmal. mnud'l Liniment used. by l’hyalchu. INTIMATE NATURAL HISTORY.

It is a fact admitted by thinking farmers that through negligence or misplaced frugality .in not providing covering for implements of agricul- ture, when not in use, they get about half the years of service from them they should. The loss from exposure is greater than the geterioration that follows throughilegitimate use. Without care these implements would be scrapped in five years. _The de- duction to be made from these figures is that an implement shed built and in use in five years is equal to $500. It does not cost half that sum to build a good implement shed, but how many farmers, otherwise up to date and progressive, fail to provide pro- per care for the tools with which they work? We will assume that the necessary equipment required to work a farm coats $1,000 and that with care the equipment may be used for ten years.
