Hay has contributed a series of articles to the Educational Review entitled "Rambles through Forest, Lake and River," in one of which he refers to the forests of New Bruns- wick in the following manner : We were now entering wha*: might be called the great spruce country of New Brunswick ; and for weeks after our course lay through intermin- able dark forests of these trees, intermingled with birch and maple, especially on the ridges, with a few scattering white pines and no hemlock. If our lumbermen would select the largest and best trees for their operations, gathering the tops and branches, with some of the smaller growth in the denser portions, for the pulp mill manufac- turer, this great lumber region, and others through the province, would increase in value each succeeding year. The great need in these forests is a judicious pruning of small trees, especially on the low grounds, in order to give an opportunity for the stronger and more shapely trees to grow ; and the careful removal of branches and tops to lessen the danger from forest fires. Thus the waste products of the lum- berman, which have been the source of so much damage in times past to our forests, and the stunted and mishappen growth of smaller trees in the denser woods, would not only be remo
