The 1918 Edition of the ''A. B C 

 Lumber Trade Directory of British 

 Cohimbia," just off the press, is a 

 valuable addition to the desk of the 

 business man. 



The directory section of the book 

 contains an alphabetical list of every 

 lumber and shingle mill in British 

 Columbia ^vith details of the manage- 

 ment, capital, date of establishment, 

 products, and capacity of the plant; 

 a classified list of firms manufactur- 

 ing various commodities in the lumber 

 industry; an up-to-date list of the 

 logging operators throughout the pro- 

 vince; lists of timber cruisers, log 

 brokers, lumber wholesalers, towing 

 companies, and similar information. 



A second section of the book, of 

 particular interest to the lumber 

 industry, gives details of the customs 

 tarifTs of various countries. 



Another section gives the full text 

 of all the legislation dealing with the 

 lumber industry in British Columbia. 



Another section gives a mass of 

 technical and statistical information 

 regarding the various woods of B.C. 

 showing their strength, values, volume 

 tables, and other information of that 

 nature. 



There is also a complete table 

 showing the fees and royalties payable 

 for the various licenses and leases, and 

 information regarding timber marks 

 and log marks. 



A useful Buyers' Guide is included 

 in the book, being a directory of mill 

 and camp supply houses which should 

 prove of use to lumbermen. 



Every day that we Canadians 

 tolerate wanton destruction of our 

 natural resources, we tolerate a 

 form of internal mischief that plays 

 directly into the hands of the enemy. 



Rabbits as a Business. 



Rabbit growing enterprises are re- 

 ported from various parts of the 

 country, the animals being raised 

 both for fur and meat. 



A California company is to estab- 

 lish a large fur-rabbit farm and pack 

 the meat as tin potted hare. 



Business men of Hamilton, Canada, 

 have taken over a fur-rabbit farm 

 and will raise Siberian rabbits for fur 

 and meat. This latter species is 

 said to be comparatively new to 

 Canada. It sometimes reaches a 

 weight of 14 pounds is black in color, 

 grows very quickly and one doe will 

 produce about 100 young in eight 

 months. The meat can be produced 

 at 5 cents a pound, it is said, and the 

 pelts are of very good quality for 

 rabbit fur. 



Uncle Sam is looking into the wild 

 \\>stern jackrabbit, which is killed 

 by millions every year as a pest by 

 farmers. It is maintained by the 

 Department of Agriculture that jack- 

 rabbit meat is good game when 

 fresh and that the hams, when corned 

 and smoked, will compare well with 

 German goose hams.
