As the annual consumption OF pine is
about O,eoo 900 feet, it is easy to calculate
the tenure CT the supply, providing the same
figures be maintained. About 40 years
would suffice to wipe out the last remnant
But there is no use getting panicky over
this subject. Long before the supply cries
shalt" an era of economy will have set in,
lumber WON'T be wasted for fencing, there
will be substitutes for many things 1t now
enters into, and there will be established q
general equilibrium, as there always is
whenever areal emergency presents itself.
None of these figures have reference to hem
lock or hard woods, with which our forest
states abound, particularly the former in al
most unlimited quantities.. In Michigan and
Wisconsin are vast forests of curled and
bird's-eye maple. which may be classed
among the finest and most beautiful finish
ing woods; large quantities OF the finest oak
and black walnut, and virtually inexhsust-
ible stores of hemlock.-NsW York Journal
