Let Everybody Plant Trees.

If every landowner would plant
in every available place such trees
as would not only give present
beauty, but also insure future sup
ply of valuable timber, it would SO
supplement the larger work of a
government forest reserve that re-
forestration and the preservation of
an adequate supply of good timber
would be much simplified.
The precious and almost indispen-
sable white oak is naturally only a
forest tree, but the black walnut,
which instrinsically is even more
valuable, will grow almost anywhere
and in a much shorter time, and will
pay for itself from the time it be-
gin to bear The same is true of
the chestnut.
There is no question that cabinet
woods will always be in demand, for
no other material can possibly take
the place of wood in the making of
iture.-Craftsman

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports. 81
R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Spring trade is making most
satisfactory comparison with the vol
ume at this time last year, except
in a few sections where the weather
is still unfavorable, and mercantile
collections improve steadily, despite
the high money market. Leading
industries have orders covering pro-
duction well in to the future, es-
pecially cotton factories and steel
mills, while the output of pig iron
when the month opened was close to
the largest on record. High prices
in the footwear industry have check
ed placing contracts for fall shoes
at New England factories, some de-
cline in prices of hides and leather
encouraging buyers to delay order
ing the finished product, but most
mills are still busy on spring goods.
Prices are we'll maintained in all
sections of the iron and steel in
dustry, premiums being frequently
offered for prompt delivery, but or
ders are seldom accepted on these
terms, because of the oversold con-
dition of mills and furnaces. Pig
iron is notably active at Birming-
ham, large contracts having been
placed this month covering deliveries
up to the last quarter. There is
nominal difference of about 81 per
ton between spot and third-quarter
business, but scarcely any sales are
made at the higher figure, because
little iron is available for prompt
shipment. .

Plating Aluminium.

A process of pating aluminium with
copper by welding methods has been
invented in Germany by Herr Wach-
nitz. This is regarded as important
because one of the obstacles to a
wider use of aluminium has been its
comparative lack of resistance to the
action of many fluids and it's failure
to hold paint. These objections are
removed when it is covered with a
thin plating of copper, while it's
weight is not materially increased.
