Chief Fernow, of the Forestry
Division at Washington, d. c., makes
some valuable suggestions in his
eleventh bulletin. The bulletin
states that the South can make the
cultivation of the cork oak very prof
liable in time. We pay about S2,-
600, 900 year for imported cork, and
prices are steadily rising. The Gov
ernment distributed cork oak acorns
in the South as far back as 1858, and
there are now standing several cork
trees in the Southern States, one of
them as far north as middle Georgia.
A large one is now standing in Mis-
sissippi City, Miss, and there are
probably twentyssin California. The
fact that the tree will flourish in
the South has been demonstrated.
The waffle tree, a native of Australia,
is also recommended for cultivation.
1t belongs to the acacia family, and
contains more fannie acid than the
oak. 1t is propagated from seeds,
which are soaked until soft in boiling
water before planting. This tree will
do well in warm climates. This euca-
lyptus is recommended on account of
its rapid growth, the value of the
wood and the oil contained in the foli-
age. Some claim that it is an antidote
for malaria. The bamboo deserves a
trial, maintains the Atlanta Constltu-
tuition. 1t is not a tree but a giant
grass, allied to our cane. One variety
grows in Florida, where it has been
known to grow a foot day in height,
and reach twenty-five feet in single
season. 1t is in demand for many
useful and ornamental purposes. We
have been wasting our forests long
enough. Why not turn over a new
leaf and try the trees recommended by
the Forestry Division?

The Evacuation of Fort Ontario.

On July 10 next will occur the one
hundredth anniversary of the British
evacuation of Fort Ontario at Oswego,
which was the last place over which
the flag of Great Britain waved in the
United States. When that flag was
hauled down the American flag took
its place, and ever since has waved
there. A public meeting of citizens
of Oswego, called by the Mayor, has
been held, at which it was determined
to celebrate this centennial, with a
civil day, military day, and a so.
ciety day, with sham battle and rep
etition of the forts capture in 1912.
The Knights of Pythias are organic
ing for society day. 1t is proposed to
regarrison the old fort, and to attempt
to interest the Federal aud State au-
thorities in the celebration of the CEN
tennial, which has National signih-
cance. Syracuse journal.

substances and their chemical nature.

elements, chlorine, sulphur, phos-
phorus and, above, oil iodine with
metals increases the opaqueness.
