It was young growth that had grown up since the big fire and was higher than a man‘s head, poplar and willow. The willow and most of the poplar was rapidly disappearing before his little axe, but at intervals almost as regular as he will later set his fence posts Mr. MacMorran has left the stoutest and best poplar saplings, beâ€" cause, as he simply says, he ‘‘Jlikes trees."" His action is a reminder that here is a costless method epen to alâ€" most every Temiskaming farmer to encourage tree growth on his ~armâ€" that isâ€"the roadsides, tie bhanks and the odd corners which he will never plow. And if there be those who lregard poplar as an inferior tree there ;will be few who will argue that «even a popler is not infinitely better than no tree at all. But that was only one thing, for, once the tree subject was brought up, it came out that Mr. MacMorran has drawn up for himself a plan for successive yearly plantings of windbreaks to protect his buildings and fields, and has already raceived his first yearly quota of fve bhundred seedlings for that purpose from the Ontario Forestry Branch. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO time could be is a mystery, unless a eryptic remark casually passed about the better the day the better the deed has anything to do with it! For Mr. and Mrs. MaeMorran, with two fine healthy children, a nice clearing, a good sized flock of sheep nd another one of pouitry ; seven cows, some pigs and the team, must be busy people. ‘*As an echo of the discussion carâ€" ried on in the Speaker columns a year or so ago, regarding the merits or deâ€" merits of 80 acre homesteads in Norâ€" thern Ontario, it may be remarked that Mr. MaeMorran has alreatly realâ€" ized tht his 160 acre farm eannot proâ€" vide sufficient pasture for even his present requirements, and has accordâ€" ingly ourchased a fine quarter section for pasturage between his home and Charlton and adjoining. Of the fine example being set by a newâ€"comer in treeâ€"planting, if in no other way, little need be said, but lest anyone who has not met Mr. MaeMorran should be tempted to think that his plans and ambitions are merely those of one unâ€" tried as yet by disappointments of a somewhat hard country it may wéll be mentioned that he has already passed through all the trials and hardships which must have been connected with winning seven medals, including the Wke C. M., the M. M., the Croix de Guerre, and the D. F. C., in hms wer service from 1914 onwards, and such experiences as nine bullet wounds, passing through the siege of Kut el Amars, 43,000 miles of reeonnaissance flying in the East, to mention but these, all caleulated to sober undue enthusiasm. His argument for so arly in his operations in a country new to him undertaking work which so many old settlers have put off for the slacker times which never come, is perfect. ‘‘I like this country and am making. *‘I like this country and I put off what I mtend to do in any event, when every year I can gain, will brmg thv be nefits I look for that much closer."" ‘"‘Heinie, why do you hold the umâ€" brella over the horse‘s hindquarters?*‘ ‘‘I don‘t know.
