The Timber Supply.

Not alone the people of Kansas, but
those Of other States rs well, are inter
e-ted in the timber question. Unless
trees are moro extensively grown, aud
less useless waste of our forests practIc-
ed, it will not be long until this country
Will be as destitute of tim Der as some of
the older countries in Europe. \ writer
in the New York ITorIa gives some
facts, in relation to this question, which
are worthy OF thoughtful considera-
ton:
1t is sad that nearly one halt Of the
surplus hard woods Of the country are
to be found in Westcrn Virginia. How
long these will last is 4 doubtful ones
ton. Taking the one item of railroad
ties, and We find shat the country re
quros for its annual supply 9i,530, 600
cubic feet, equal 10 15S, 5l5 cords OF solid
timber, TO sccurc which at least ,, 000,-
900 cords of standing timber have to be
cut down. / he average product per
atrc of the forests OF Virginia is given
by NJ. +. Maury nj from 10 10 90 cords
per acre so that, taking the maximum
Weld, our railroad ties alone destroy
annually 10 600 acres OF woodland. The
annual consumption of the country for
fuel is estimated at over 80, 900 900 cords
of wood, of which three fitths may be
assumed to be good standing timber cut
expressly Tor fuo. This gives ali an
nual clearing OF coo, 600 acres. The
iron founderics used N 1870, $4,000
tons of charcoal. and a furnace that
l.. 3 ta,.
will use up 200 acres of woodland in "a
year. The annual product OF charc pal
iron is now about 200, 600 ions, using up
5000 acres year. The pine lands OF
Michigan, the best in the country, yield
10 900 feet 10 the acre, board measure.
The annual consumption OF the country
in manufactured lumberis 10000, 000,
900 feet, representing an annual clear
ing of 1000 ,0J0 acres. The fencing of
tho country requires 25,0)0,000 acres to
be cleared in order 10 make it, and The
annual repairs 10 fencing destroy -
SOC 900 acres OF forest. Our shipping
tonnage represents $4,000 acres of oak
forest destroyed, and demands for re-
pairs 1900 acres a year. The hard aud
turned wood manufactures of tho coun-
try use up aa annual average OF 100000
acres of timber. Taking All these items
together, we have an aggregate annual
consumption of $500. 600 acres of forest.
As our total forest lands amount 10 $50,
600 900 they will last NJ this rate only
seventy wears a certain percentage OF
forest destroyed Is allowed 10 renew
itself, and, as in seventy years pine
woods can be cut ovcr-twice, this renew
al amounts 10 a very considerable figure.
but i; is scarcely sufficient 10 offset the
increasing demand for timber Tor every
purpose 10 keep pare with increasing
population and exigcnt industries in the
same period. In other words, with our
present system OF husbandry and our
present growth OF population, seventy
wears makes the maximum period that
