CA 3 a
MAPLE IS HOLDING ITS OWN.
IT. present.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10, 1913.
Though at one time in the early history
of the country an average of 5000 maple
trees were destroyed in clearing the Or
binary New York OF Pennsylvania farm,
maple is today, according to the depart
ment of agriculture, one of the most
widely used and valuable native hard
woods.
A bulletin on the uses of maple, just
issued by the department, states that the
wood finds place in an enormous num-
Der of articles in daily use, from rolling
pins to pianos and organs. 1t is one of
the best woods for flooring, and is al
ways a favorite material for the floors
of roller skating Kinks and bowling a.
legs. 1t leads all other woods as ma
terial for shoe lasts, the demand fer
which in Massachusetts alone exceeds ID
million board feet annually.
Sugar maple stands near the top of
the list of furniture woods in this cour-
try. The so-called birds-eye" effect,
the department explains, is probably due
to buds which for some reason can not
force their way through the bark, but
which remain just beneath it year after
year. The young wood is disturbed each
succeeding season by the presence of the
bud and grows around it in fantastic
forms which are exposed when the saw
cuts through the abnormal growth.
Maple, the department goes on to say,
is one of the chief woods used for apri-
cultural implements and farm machir cry,
being so employed because OF its strength
and hardness. All kinds of wooden ware
are made of maple, which holds impor.
tant rank also in the manufacture Of
shuttles, srooIs and bobbins. 1t COM
petes with black gum for first place in
the manufacture of rollers of many
kinds, from those employed in house
moving to the less massive ones used On
lawn mowers. Athletic goods, school
supplies, brush backs, pulleys, type
cases and crutches are a few of the
other articles for which maple is in de-
mand.
Seven species of maple grow in the
United States, of which sugar maple.
sometimes called bard maple, is the most
important. The total cut of maple in the
United States annually amounts to about
1,l50, 900, 900 feet. Nearly one-half is
produced by Michigan, with Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, New York and West Vir-
ginia following in the order named.
Sugar maple, says the department, is in
little danger of disappearing from the
American forests, for it is a strong.
vigorous. aggressive tree, and though
not fast grower is able to hold it's own.
In Michigan it is not unusual for maple
to take possession of land from which
pine or hardwoods have been cut clean.
and from New England westward through
the Lake States and southwark to the
Ohio and Potomac rivers few other
species are oftener seen in woodlots.

INTO my nr0ae.
A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
ganic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. It
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.

only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read

THE MANY USES FOR BIRCH.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10, 1913.
From furnishing material for canoe in
which to hunt whales some hundred odd
years ago to supplying New England
factories of today with 11,OOO cords of
wood annually for shoe pegs and shanks
is, according to the department of agri-
culture, only part of the services the
birch tree has rendered and is rendering
the people of America.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the depart
ment tells us in bulletin just issued on
the uses of birch, hunted whales in
birch bark canoe. The animals were
found at the mouth of the Mackenzie
river. He failed to strike the game, and
concluded that it was probably for the
best. While the canoes are frail, it is
pointed out that the bark of which they
are made resists decay longer than any
other part of the tree.
1t would be difficult, the department
goes on to say. to estimate the value of
the service of the birch bark canoe n
the discovery. exploration. development,
and settlement of the northern part of
this continent. From the Arctic Circle
to the Great Lakes, and southwark, for
a century and half, that light but ex-
ceedingly strong and serviceable vessel
threaded the lakes and rivers, bearing
trade and carrying civilization where no
other boat could go. The French ex-
plorers and missionaries made journeys
of hundreds of miles in these canoes,
often carving cargoes which would seem
beyond the capacity of such frail vessels.
The range Of uses to which birch WOOD
is put is surprisingly large. According
to the department, the articles into which
it goes range from church pews to kitch-
en- tables, and from organ pipes to newell
posts We may have our first sleep in
birch crib and our last in birch coffin.
The spools on which we get our cotton
and silk thread are birch spools, and the
lasts on which our shoes are made are
likely to be birch lasts. The largest of
the spools hold IL, 90 yards, the small
est 20 yards. The woods beauty,
strength. and rigidity make it prominent
as material for musical instruments,
and the same qualities bring it into ex-
tensive use for flooring.
Many people have an idea that shoe
pegs have nearly passed out of use, but
the amount of birch previously mention
| ed as made into pegs and shanks yearly
in New England seems to disprove this
notion. Birch, the department says, is
| often put on the market in imitation of
other woods, and we may open many
door, sit on many chair, and write on
many desk which we imagine to be
mahogany, but which is really birch
stained to resemble the genuine article.
Nine species of birch grow in the
United States, but sweet, yellow, paper,
and river birch are those most used.
About 100000 900 board feet of wood
finds its way to the market yearly.
Paper birch is one of the few American
species with hold on the forest strong
err than it had when America was discov-
cred. Large tracts are now covered
with this birch where there was little of
it a century ago. 1t comes in after fire,
and some tracts it has taken possession
of cover hundreds of square miles.
