TIMBER IN EUROPE.

Some European countries are almost
as bad off, as far as supply of timber is
concerned, as is the United States. Ac-
cording to French agricultural jour
nal, the oak of Sweden and Norway is
about exhausted, and they are compelled
to buy their wood in Poland, and the
pine is being rapidly removed. The for
ests of Russia, along the shores of the
Baltic, in Finland and in the southern
provinces, have been so rapidly thinned
that the forest area of the empire is now
only one-tenth. The forests Of Ger
many are we'll cared for. and there are
now in that empire about 81, 000,000
acres of forest (over half Of which is in
Prussia), valued at about $400, 100000
andproducingan income annually Of more
than S5O,O00,OOO. The greatest effort
is made to preserve the forests of Ger
many and to increase the forest acreage
(about S500,000 being annually expend-
ed in replanting by the state), and the
imports exceed the exports by over
1900 tons. There are about 100000
acres of forest in Austria. Austria,
however, has SO recklessly cut her for
ests that she is now obliged to buymost
of her timber in Bosnia and Montene-
gro. Servia, Roumania and Portugal
have good forests, but the fine forests of
Italy and Spain are so situated that they
cannot reach market when cut It
would seem that the United States
might proftably follow the example of
Germany and save her forests. South
Australia is at present engaged in this
work and planting trees on an extensive
scale.

THE PEPPERMINT CROP.

The peppermint crop OF the United
States has for the past few years reached
the amount Of 10000 pounds per year,
cf which about 10000 pounds were an
nually exported. Two-thirds Of the pep
ermint oil Of this country is produced in
New York and about one-third in Mich
igan. The best oil comes from Wayne
county, New York, where it is carefully
prepared by a man named Hotchkiss,
whose name it bears, and usually brings
20 cents more than the common. The
plant is perennial one and
is planted in the spring. The
next year it is ready for cutting and
generally may be cut for three years.
The best yield is given in the first and
second years of cutting; in the third
year the plant becomes bitter. After
the plant becomes four years old it is
not cut, and the field is plowed over
nd new crop planted. The usual
method of planting is in rows, and in
August the plant is ready for cutting.
