is grazed and tramped to death not by 

 wild cattle alone but by herds of red deer, 

 descended from a few that were imported 

 from England to stock parks. The deer 

 imported proi>agated beyond the calcula- 

 tions of the inhabitants, escaped to the 

 woods, and, since there are no animals to 

 prey upon them, have increased to many 

 thousands. The American forester who 

 undertakes the care of the timber of 

 Molokai will have a problem entirely novel 

 to his experience — the protection of forests 

 from wild animals. 



E. JI. Griffith, of the Bureau of Forestry, 

 United States Department of Agriculture, 

 who visited the Hawaiian Islands on his 

 wa.v to the Philippines last winter, re- 

 turned a report to Governor Dole in 

 which he said the mountain forests of 

 Hawaii mu.st be fenced, on the lower slopes 

 to protect them from the tame cattle, on 

 the upper slopes to keep out the wild ones. 

 He also recommended the establishment of 

 a forest force, consisting of a forest in- 

 spector, who should have charge of all 

 Government forest lands and direct the 

 work of the forest rangers; and four forest 

 rangers, one for the island of Oahu, one 

 for Hawaii, one for Kauai, and one or 

 M'aui and Molokai. 



NEW DOUBLE CYLINDER PLANER- 



Here is a new and improved double 

 cylinder planer, patented December 19, 

 1899, and Februaiy 6, 1900, which is espe- 

 cially adapted for general surfacing and 

 box factory work. It contains many fea- 

 tures and advantages, among which we 

 call attention to the following: 



1. It has a very solid frame, and will 

 work 24, 27 and 30 inches wide and 8 

 inches thick. 



2. It has power feed with broken rolls, 

 either in two or four sections, and each 

 section is center-geared. 



3. The lower head comes immediately 

 after the upper, and it will work short as 

 well as long stuff with equal facility. 



4. It is simple to operate, and powerful 

 in all its parts, making it one of the best 

 general double cylinder surfaeers made.

THE NATIONAL MOIST AIR DRIER, 

 BtriLT OF BRICK AND STEEL. 



The most pronounced success in the de- 

 velopment of lumber manufacturing is the 

 dry kilns. The superior qualities of "The 

 National," built of brick and steel, places 

 it far in advance of the older and out-of- 

 date systems, which have in a manner 

 served their purpose. It has required time 

 and patient experimenting to bring the 

 drier here shown to its present state of 

 mechanical perfection, with the result that 

 on its introduction on the market it quickly

 matter and terms to those interested who 

 will write, mentioning the Hardwood

AT IT AGAIN. 



The management ot the Southern Rail- 

 way is always alive to the situation. The 

 work it is doing, looking for the develop- 

 ment of the country its line serves, is 

 manifested on every hand. 



The exhibit made by the Southern Rail- 



IMPROVED MOIST 



met with success. It is one of the newest 

 and most improved lumber driers for all 

 kinds of hard and soft woods ever brought 

 out. We invite your attention to some of 

 its advantages. 



1. The building being of brick, the 

 chances of Are from the outside are re- 

 duced to the minimum. 



2. The moist air system, as employed by 

 "The National," makes it impossible for 

 the drier to burn inside from its own 

 agency. 



3. The foundations being of steel, there 

 can be no rotting, warping or settling, all 

 of which causes endless annoyance and ex- 

 pense. 



4. No blowers or engine, which requires 

 constant attention. 



5. Entire equipment constructed on me- 

 chanical principles, and of the highest 

 grade of material obtainable. 



6. Safety, joermanency, economy, and for 

 results obtained it has no equal. 



The above broad claims are fully proven 

 by a few extracts from letters which "The 

 National" has received from many well 

 pleased customers, as follows: 



Curtis Bros. Company. Clinton, Iowa. — 

 The longer we use them the better we like 

 them. 



Thomson & Tucker Lumber Company, 

 Willard, Texas. — We have the best kilns in 

 Texas. 



Blacksher Company. Mobile, Ala. — We 

 are perfectly satisfied. 



Pearl River Lumber Company. Brook- 

 haven, Miss. — They are giving entire s.ntis- 

 faction, and are first class in all respects.

way at the Fall Festival in Cincinnati, for 

 two weeks, beginning September 1.5, at- 

 tracted the attention of thousands of peo- 

 ple. The exhibit occupied two thousand 

 square feet of floor space and was made 

 up of samples and specimens of various 

 woods and minerals, grasses, grains, fruits 

 and vegetables raised in the states of Vir- 

 ginia, North Carolina. South Carolina. 

 Georgia. Alabama. Mississippi, Kentucky 

 and Tennessee. The display of fresh 

 fruits, especially apples, from the South, 

 was a wonder to the northern people, and 

 visitors to the exhibit generally expressed 

 suri)rise that such magnificent apples are 

 grown in the South. Not less than twenty- 

 five varieties from Western North Caro- 

 lina alone were on display.. 



As the result of this exhibit the atten- 

 tion of thousands of people was- directed 

 to the southern country, and it is not un- 

 common to hear said: "That exhibit con- 

 vinces me that the South must be a won- 

 derful country. I expect some day to 

 investigate it with the view of locating." 

 Tlie representatives of the Land and In- 

 dustrial Department of the Southern Rail- 

 way Company were in attendance, for the 

 purpose of giving specific and rellaljle in- 

 formation to visitors concerning lands, 

 mines, factory sites, etc. The Southern 

 Railway Company, through its Laud and 

 Industrial Department, is making several 

 such exhibits in the North. Great care 

 and large experience is requisite in prepar- 

 ing an exhibit such as the Southern made 

 at Cincinnati.
