Substitute for Black Walnut.

# d Whiting, an Florida Mirror
There seems to be great alarm
among furniture manufactures over
the disappearance of black walnut.
1t was once very plentiful in all the
Western and Southwestern states
and in Canada, and was extensively
used tor fuel and fencing 1t Is now
difficult to obtain except at very
high prices. The Torooto Globe
thinks the best substitute for it may
be found in kthe black birch, which
abounds in all parts of Canada.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it occurs to me
that the black gum for the South,
which is found in large quantities
there, would make most desirable
substitute tor the black walnut. 1t
is close grained and beautiful wood.
1t does not easily split and can be
stained to exactly resemble walnut.
It is, in tact,ss suitable tor nearly all
purposes that walnut is now used. 1t
is true that the gum tree is generally
found only in the swamps OF the
South, but the growth is usually large
and free from all imperfections. But
means can easily be devised by which
it can be harvested for market. If
remember Alright, the black gum will
float in RATS as readily as pine, and
as it is found in great quantities in
the river swamps it can be cut and
taken in rats to the mills without a
large outlay Of capital, thus giving
remunerative employment to the
lumbermen of small means.
If some of the enterprising mill
men Of your locality would snip a
few sample lots Of this valuable luin>
Der to representative furniture man
ufactufes in the North, taking care
to first thoroughly season it, its great
value as furniture wood would thus
become known, and thus new and
profitable industry would be develo-
ped aud greatly enrich the people
OF your important and rapidly grow
inc State,
