It is stated that Boston capitalists (have pur chased the hemlock bark on 28,000 trees in the Adirondack region, New York, and will strip the trees and carry off the product. Rockford, 111., has a wood feather manufac- tory, where basswood is shaved into strips and medicated for filling bed ticks and pillows and other purposes, the article being really superior for such uses. Seventy-five million feet of hemlock lumber has been cut at Williamsport, Pa., this year, as against 15,000,000 feet last year. Pennsylvania lumbermen are just beginning to seethe value of this kind of timber. The Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company paid out for labor in the mill and at the Paint Creek dam, from March 1, 1881, to the same date this year, $140,8904, and $100,000 for labor on logs—a total of $240, Poplar from the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie is being cut for shipping away to pulp mills. There is a large growth of poplar in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that will come handy for change to the farmers who shall clear the land in that rugged country for some time. The auditor of a railroad in Wisconsin, who has been up north through the logging country, reports that notwithstanding the estimate that the log crop is only a two-thirds cut, the large number of new men who have entered the busi- ness will make the money receipts for lumber greater by one-fourth than during any previous year in the history of the State. A large mill for the manufacture of wood pulp is about to be built upon the line of the Quebec Central R. R., near Cookshire, Que. The location is on the Eaton River near its junction with the St. Francis, in a section where S"i*".aHl« wood is ahiinrlant'- ]S
