 of lumber are so demoralized and the dealers are operating so much at cross purposes that about 20 per cent of the logs are left in the forests to decay ana become unproductive. Under present con- ditons it is impossible to work these smaller and less desirable logs, and the, result is that the manufacturers leave them and take only the logs that can be worked at a profit. The natural result of this is to deplete our forests much more rapidly than would be the case if these smaller logs were used.
 "The sending of price lists to the diff ferent dealers is the natural outcome of good business. The price lists are only recommendations to the dealers Our com pany uses the price lists only as a guide in offering lumber for the market. Some times our prices are lower and some times higher than those shown in the price lists. It's matter of business judgment on the part of the individuaf manufacturers. II is not mandatory for the dealers to follow these prices. There are no penalties for not following the recommendations of the price list

AMERICAN LUMBER
 INTERESTS ABROAD

Recent Washington advices show that the bureau of manufactures, depart ment of commerce and labor, has in- augurated a system by which American manufacturers for export will be great ly benefited. The plan contemplates the distribution to foreign importers of cat alogues and certain literature, written in the various languages, informing such importers where and from whom classified American products can be ob- tained, together with the compilation of an extended list of such importers and their respective addresses for the information of American exporters The data thus available to both inn porters and exporters will naturally convenience all concerned on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in the Latin countries of our own hemisphere.
 A further advantage will accrue from the data conveying more precise knowl- edge of what importers require than heretofore has been available and the obviation of numerous misunderstand- lngs and reclamations.
 The consular bureau is thus utilized
  times were practically neglected in that branch of the public service. The change marks distinct advance that will be appreciated by those who recall the time when the consular bureau was an asylum for stranded politicians and any other partisan barnacles of whom 1t was desirable to be rid. In those days consuls were blissfully innocent of any sense of duty or other obliga- ton, moral, patriotic or of the routine sort outside of occasional perfunctory reports of no practical value and the effort necessary to draw their salaries.
 Manufacturing exporters. present and prospective, are now assured of aids that carefully compiled for their bene- fit should call for the freest contribu- tory aid and support on their part It Is particularly desirable that such OK porters should more intimately ac- quaint themselves with the precise character of products required in for eign lands and that they inform the de- partment of what they have to dispose of accordingly. In this way distrust of American exporters by foreign import CTS can be dissipated and mutual con fidence can be established.

GROWTH IN THE
 LIME INDUSTRY

From the Manufacturers Record.
 The manufacture of lime in the Unit ed States is large. important, and rapidly growing industry. Few mineral products have so wide a variety-of uses as lime A little more than half the lime manufactured in the United States is used as 8 structural material, and the remainder, amounting to more than 1, 600 tons, valued at about $5250,000 is used for chemical purposes The prin- cipal uses which lime has in building operations are in lime mortars and plas- ters, in gazing Portland cement mor- tars, concrete and gypsum plasters, and as a whitewash. Both quick and hy- drated lime are used in building opera tions.
 Lime is burned in nearly all the states and territories, Pennsylvania leading in 1909 with value of more than s2,50o,o00 Tine total production for 1909 was 3,4i2,- s52 short tons, valued at slS, S,S05 405. the highest in the history of the industry and an increase over the figures for 1908 of nearly 25 per cent. The average price per ton in 1909 was $3.9s. In addi- l1On 10 IncSe figures, lilIle lo tilc Ndiuc of s7s 405 was produced in 1909 from burning oyster shells. These and other statistics of lime production. and notes on the manufacture of hydrated lime, by Ernest F. Buchard of the United States geological survey are given in separ- ate chapter of Mineral Resources" for 1909, the compilation being the result of ap-onevotipn ap n hptWaan the paol0pjca1 IT, vey and the bureau of the census. According to MT. Burchard, recent test have indicated that magnetism lines are generally best suited to structural work and high calcium lines to chemical pur- poses, but for certain uses the reverse of this rule is true and for many ap- plcations of each branch of industry either type of lime is equally well suit ed. The chemical uses of lime are much more varied than the uses Of lime in building. Lime is used for soil renovation or sweetening, for insecticides and fungi cides. for egg preservation, for water and sewer purlflcation, as disinfect- ant and deodorizer, for bleaching In the manufacturing of numerous chemi- calls, in gas manufacture, in the milling industry, in paint and varnish manu- fracture, in the paper, smelting, beet sugar, tanning and many other indus tries.
 It is not known what amount of lime is used for agricultural purposes. but MT. Burchard notes that many of the producers reporting to the survey are farmers who do not operate on a com
 a1x b,,t.r 1yi1 or two of lime occasionally for their own use. In some sections lime Is known to be very extensively used as a soil sweetener, and most of the state agri- cultural experiment. stations have pub lished bulletins discussing its effect on farm crops

COOKE |S ON TRIAL FOR ENTERTAINMENT Charged With Connection In Big Four Embezzle-
 ment Scandal

Cincinnati, June 12-Securing a jury and the examination of three witnesses from New York relative to certain de- posits marked the opening here today of the trial of Edgar s. Cooke on the charge of having embedded s24,000 from the treasurer's office of the Big Four railroad.
 Statements made by the attorneys for the defense gave promise of interesting developments inasmuch as 1t was openly asserted before the court that '1t the truth were known" Charles l.. War riner did not take s643,o0o but he prob ably took s1,643o0o. or $2,6i3,ooo but he took it for the purpose of the railroad.
 Three witnesses, Charles M. Ham burg. of the First National bank of Brooklyn John T. Simmons of the Bank ers' Safe Deposit company of New York and Albert Scheibel, formerly connected with Frank and J. C. Jenkins company, New York. brokers, all testified regard ing deposits make by Cooke in their banks The case will be resumed to- morrow morning. Hamburg's testimony was that between December D. 1901 and June 2. 1902, Cooke deposited in the First National bank of Brooklyn $ll,9JO, Simmons produced record showing that in August, 1901, Jennie s. Timmonds rented safe deposit box and that In November she gave Cooke authority to onen the box. Jennie S. Timmonds was the maiden name of Mrs. Jeanette Ford, "the woman in the case"
 According to Scheibers testimony Cooke paid the brokerage firm with which the witness was connected S753 for certain shares of stock. Just before Scheibel who was the last witness of the day was excused, Cookies attorney asked him who had requested him to come to Cincinnati 10 testify.
 "A representative of the New York Central by the name of Friedhorn." the witness replied
 The charges against Cooke were the outcome of the embezzlement or Sb43,OUo from the Big Four railroad by Charles l., Warriner. now serving a six years sentence in the Ohio penitentiary. War riner has been brought to this city from Columbus to testify in the trial of Cooke. Another witness who will tes- tify is Mrs. Jeannette Stewart Ford, whose name was mentioned by Warriner as receiving large part of the money taken from the railroad company.

CLEVELAND STRIKE
 WILL BE VERY LONG

Cleveland. June 12.-All efforts to submit to arbitration the vital points at issue in tine garment workers strike here ended tonight and both the strikers and manufacturers settled down for long siege.
 The action of the few Independent manufacturers when they joined with the manufacturers association today was a big blow to those who hoped for arbitration.
 The independents wanted to settle their differences with the strikers but the latter held out for complete set clement and the independents immedia- tely broke off negotiations.
 The strikers expect a large sum of money from the international head quarters in New York tomorrow.

STEAMSHIP STOCK IS DECLARED NULL Fruit Company Can Not Vote Its Bluefields
 Stock

New Orleans, June 12.-In an opinion
 handed down late today in the United
 States circuit court, Judge Rufus E. Fos+
 ter perpetuated an injunction against the l United Fruit company from voting any
 stock which it owns in the Bluefields Steamship company. He declared inci- dentally that while the striking with Inullity of stock thus held in a competing corporation might be solution of tho much vexed trust problem, he could not sec his way clear to so rule in the ab- sence Of positive statute on the sub ject, especially in view of the recent de- cision of the supreme court in the Stan- dard oil case
 The Bluefields Steamship company, on. of the largest fruit importing concerns of the country, was thrown into receiver ship more than a year ago on the peti- ton of Frederick NJ. Steele of Chicago, a large stockholder. who alleged that the company was practically under the con trol of the United Fruit company and that through the purchase of the Blue fields concern they had succeeded in stihing competition, The question was re- ferred to a master, who sustained the all legations of Steele in many particulars and found that majority of the stock in the Blueiields company disposed or by the United Fruit company was d sim ulated sale and carried the retained con trol of the Bluefelds company.
 Judge Foster upheld the findings of the master and continued the receivership. At
 the same time he ordered that an cleo ; ton of officers of the Bluefelds company be held under the supervision of the | court but forbade any voting of stock that might indicate a suspicion of the
 United Fruit companys control of the Bluefieds company.

The black walnuts should be gath
cred In the fall soon yfter they fall,
which is usually about Ocober In Sc
lecting the nuts preference should be
given to the large ones from good
thrifty, healthy trees. In case you de-
sire to plant in the fall they should
be in the shade piled in small piles to
avoid drying out and heating It is
not necessary to null the nuts. They
may be planted any time after gather
Ing up until the soil freezes.
For spring planting, which is pre-
ferable to fall planting, the nuts
should be stratified, that is to say, take
a box, put couple of inches of sand
In the bottom, then layer of nuts,
and SO on. Keep the contents moist
and exposed so as to be subject to
freezing during the winter. This will
soften the shell so they will germinate
readily in the spring. Watch them
closely in the spring, for should they
sprout the sprouts are liable to be
broken of as they are very brittle.
They should be planted as soon as
possible otter the soil is in workable
condition in the spring
It is best to plant the nuts in soil
which has been previously cultivated

growth. deep. rich, soil along river or
creek banks is preferred. 1t is diff
cult to transplant black walnuts on ac-
count of their long tap root, and for
this reason it is desirable to plant the
seed where you expect to grow the
trees. Lay of the rows ten feet apart
and plant the nuts three feet apart
In the row, and about four inches deep.
It is not necessary to fll the furrow
entirely at first as this will assist in

There is no single mixture which
is used for the preservation OF all
fruits. The mixtures are varied ac-
cOrding to the kind OF fruit, its color,
and several other things. Some fruits
are very easy to preserve. Apples.
pears. and grapes may be placed in =
two per cent solution OF formalin and
water, and it will preserve them quite
naturally for several years.
Peaches are more dificult to pre-
serve, but they may be preserved for
al least year by the addition OF about
two per cent OF glycerins to the above
solution.
Blackberries, raspberries, and black
cherries are quite difficult to preserve
without their coloring going into the
preserving fuid. should advise you
to leave these fruits alone unless you
care to put more work in on them
than anticipate you do.

In case that you decide to feed the
peanuts to the hogs. / would advise
you to let them harvest them them
selves. We have no definite informa-
ton as to the comparative value for
hog feeding OF peanuts and corn. Hog
feeding experiments at the Expert
ment Station, of Georgia. would indi-
cate that an acre of Spanish peanuts
were equivalent to from ten to twelve
hundred pounds of corn for pork pro
duction, but we have no record as to
what. the yield Of this crop of peanuts
was. The pork made from the pea
nuts was Of rather soft. oily quality,
and it has consequently been recon-
mended that hogs fed peanuts be fin
lshed on corn tO harden up the flesh.
1t would probably be economy TO feed
small ration Of corn while the hogs
are on the peanuts.

/ Judge from the information con-
tanned in your letter that your trouble
is not with chemical composition but
rather with the PHYSICAL condition Of
