A Mr. Beach is arranging to build paper and pulp mills at Eau Claire, Wis., the cost of which will be from §50,000 to $60,000. It is reported that a regular army of pine hunters are ransaking the north shore of Lake Superior and extending their limit as far west as the prairies in search of any odd groves of timber which Uncle Sam may have left. ties by the farmers of the vicinity, and stacked and dried in the yard. Considerable birch is also brought from along the line of the Grand Trunk railway. The machine takes the sticks in the rough, and the spools roll out at the other end. The amount of birch manufactured into spools in this State is very large, the product finding sale largely in Connecticut at from seven to forty cents a gross, according to size. Every Virginian over ten years of age is asked by the State Commissioner of Agriculture to celebrate the Yorktown centennial by planting a walnut or other tree, either in the yard, field, forest, or roadside. A sensible idea.—Boston Post. John McGregor, of Midland, has closed a contract with C. H. Plummer, of Saginaw, for 320 acres of pine timber land on the Au Ores river, the consideration being $12,500.

In Sonoma county, Cal., a railway track crosses a deep ravine upon the upright trunks of the trees, which have been sawed off upon a horizontal line. In the centre of the ravine a firm support is furnished by two huge redwood trees, which have been cut off seventy-five feet above the ground. At Parish ville, St. Lawrence county, , are the largest butter-tub factories in the Em- pire State. About 4,00
