Joseph SwartzlaLder. Of Yardlcyville,
says the Enterprise, has sawed 10000 feet OF
apple tree lumber the past winter. The logs
are mostly procured from New Jersey. In the
region beyond Pennington where such large
quantity of apple whiskey is yearly made.
The lumber is used for making saw handles
aud pipe bowls and there Is constant de-
mand for 1t. Mr.. s. says. there is large
quantity of whisksy in that neighborhood un-
sold, the demand not meeting the expectation
of the holders. The tax has to be pal In
cash as soon as the liquor is put in barrels,
and the owners thus lose the 80 of their
money until a sale is effected.
