A Hint to Tennessee.

Mr.. H. G. Granger writes from Bos-
ton to the Nashville Banner that the
immense oak forests on the slopes OF
the Cumberland Mountains hitherto
neglected as of little value, are likelyto
prove very productive source OF
wealth to the State. He says:
Tennessee, of all States in the Union.
is supposed to abound more largely III
oak forests, the bark Of which is sup
posed to be of better quality for the
manufacture of leather than any found
on this continent, if not in the world.
A discovery has recently been made by
which the astringent or tanning prop,
critics of oak bark can be compressed
from the crude bark just as it is peeled,
and without grinding or teaching, to
an imperishable consistency ready for
barrcling; forty gallons, at a dsstlny OF
ten pounds to the gallon, being the
product of single cord of prime chest
nut oak bark. This extract is worth
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia,
ten cents per pound, or one dollar per
gallon, for home consumption or for
shipment to Europe. A million barrels
annually, at these rates, will not supply
the demand.
A million cords of bark, with proper
effort, could be annraily collected IL
the State above named, which, if manu-
featured into extract, would return te
those conducting the enterprise ne
income Of twenty-five million dollars
annually. iF4r
