southern a^ent for the Cineinnati. Hamilton & 

 I'ayton railroad, with headquarters at Cincin- 

 nati, for many years. His relations with lum- 

 bermen have always been most pordiai and close, 

 l-'uring the last four years Mr, ^^■alker has been 

 head of the Soutliern Creosotin^ Company of 

 tjlidell. iM.. engaged in the pre,servation of ties 

 and other railroad timbers. 



In speaking of liis new venture, Mr, Walker 

 facetiously says : "As to the organization of 

 this company, I have associated with me three 

 or four really and truly young men who are 

 ambitious to aceumvdate liithy lucre and who 

 have had considerable experieuce in the lumber 

 business. My personal desires are simply to 

 establish myself on a high social plane, but 

 I presunii' my associates will insist upon trying 

 lo make money. The company is incorporated 

 under the laws of Ohio, which compel us to be 

 true and honest citizens," 



That Mr, Walker is growing younger and hand 

 somer every day, the accompanying photograph 

 will testify. 



Status of Illinois in Lumber Production. 



Although Illinois has never been one of the 

 great lumber-producing states, it has brought 

 forth a considerable (juantity in the aggregate ; 

 Inilletlns recently issued by the Forest Service 

 give some interesting statistics which show the 

 general decline of production in several states, 

 and Illinois serves as an excellent illustration 

 of what is Iiappening all over the country. An 

 analysis of the figures will serve to emphasize 

 the warning which foresters are sending out — 

 that the greatest possible care must be exer- 

 cised to prevent a severe lumber famine within 

 the present century. 



In 1904 Illinois stood twenty-ninth among 

 the states as a lumber producer, with a cut of 

 :^ll,545,00O feet, board measure, of all kinds 

 of woods. Last year the state stood thirty- 

 third with a cut of only 141,S74,000 feet. This 



lilt was divided among eighteen different kinds 

 of wood, 



Similiirly, in r,lii4 the stale was ninth in the 

 cut of birch; iiul in ISIOO it liad fallen back lo 

 sixteeiilh, with a cut of only 7,000 feet, as 

 against l,:!i:!,000 feet two years ago, In bass 

 wood Illinois has receded to the twenty-llrst 

 position, with a cut only half what it was two 

 years ago. In red gum it stands eighth, al- 

 lliough its cut lias been diininlshed since 1004, 

 wlien it was sixth, from :;4,l,"ii;,iiOii feet lo 

 ',l,S7s, 11(10 feet. In poplar Illinois has fallen 

 back lour numbers, and in beech two numbers, 

 the cuts of all these woods being materially 

 reduced, 



Last year I he government reports noted the 

 liist cut of hemlock in the state— 350,000 feel, 

 Illinois retained its relative rank in the put of 

 '>ak, maple, c,vpress, elm, ash and walnut lum- 

 ber only by materially inpreaslng Its output. It 

 stood last in the cut of chestnut lumber and 

 is sixth in pottonwood, allhougli tlie put has 

 been reduced from more than L'7, (100,000 feet in 

 !!I(I4 to 11,(100,1100 feet in lOOO. In hickory the 

 state has lost three places, although the cut has 

 been increased over 1904 iiy more than one-half. 



State Forests for Scotland, 



\n Knglish contemporary aunoiiiices tiiat lie- 

 government has completed negotiations for the 

 purchase of a handsome estate in Argyllshire, 

 Scotland, with a view to its conversion into 

 slate forest land. The |iricc paid is said to 

 have lieen about ,')il.'')0,OII(i. The estate has an 

 .Ilea of approximately 1L'..">(>0 acres and extends 

 for aliout nine miles along the western side of 

 Loch -Vwe and aero.'is to Loch .\vicli. The land 

 consists iliiefly of hill pastures, some of it rising 

 lo a heiglit of 1,400 feet. Several arable farms 

 are also includi>d. It will be a generation be- 

 fore a mature crop of timlier can be raised un 

 der the scientitic .s.vstem which it is planned 

 to pursue. Students of forestry and arboricul- 

 ture in Scotland are much interested in the 

 pro.iect and pleased that their wish for the 

 establishment of a practical ob.iect lesson in 

 tree planting is about to be realized. The 

 schools in Edinburgh, (ilasgow and Aberdeen

New Sash Sticking Machine. 



'I'he 11. i*. Siiiitli Machine C<iinpany of Smith 

 vllle. N. .!.. lias recently liroiight out a new 

 ibree-sidi- sash slicking machine with sash-cord 

 grooving and boring atlai-liment, <-ut of which 

 is herewith sliown. This macliine is liullt to 

 wm-k ime, two or tiiree sides. The one side 

 machine with top head can be used as a sash, 

 door and lilind slicker, or one-side moulder wltli 

 four-side slotted head four Indies long. The bed 

 will drop sixteen Indies 



The two-side machine has top and under heads 

 and will stick the molded edge and Joint the 

 liack of sash, door and lilind stiles, or stick 

 both sides of bars and niuntiiis, while the three- 

 side machine w-illi oiilsidi- head will bevel the 

 dieck rail, Ihus finisiiing Ilie material at one 

 operation. The side head can be set at an angle, 

 and changing width of work will not affect the 

 angle. There is ample clearance around all 

 heads. 



The arbors for all heads are one and a half 

 inches in bearings, one and a ctuarter Inches 

 w-here heads go, and all heads have the same 

 size cutting circle. The under head has three 

 liearings, the cutler of which Is easily remov- 

 able for change of heads, and all heads are 

 adjustable to working face as '.veil as depth of 

 cut. 



The boring and grooving attachment is not 

 in the way of any of the other operations, and 

 by it the stiles are bored and grooved without 

 loss of time. The grooving is done with Shimer 

 pntent grooving heads. The stile is placed on 

 the table and pushed against a stop, depressing 

 tlie treadle causes the bit to bore the hole at 

 an angle, so the knot in cord, or thimble. If used, 

 pulls back to bottom of the hole ; then, raising 

 the foot, the bit drops, the stile being passed 

 over the narrow grooving head to its stop com 

 pletes the operation, when the operator places 

 the stile between the feed rolls to run through 

 the machine. 



There are two strongly driven feed rolls, held 

 firmly down by weights, and a large Idle roll in 

 the betl, giving a very strong feed. The top 

 rolls can he quickly raised from the material

future for demon- 



small areas laid out in 11 

 strations. 



The afforestation of the new purchase will be 

 commenced at once, and a certain number of 

 acres planted each year. For many years past 

 the Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society and 

 otliers interested in reforesting Scotland have 

 urged the government to inaugurate such a 

 movement, A committee appointed several years 

 ago to inquire into the forestry question with 

 regard to the three divisions of the kingdom 

 made recommendations wiiicli w-ere adopted In 

 Kngland and Ireland, l«it mithing has lu'eu done 

 for Scotland until the present time. To Munro 

 Ferguson, M, P,, is due the predit of having at 

 last secured recognition of the claims of the 

 latter country. 



by handle provided, and thus stop the feed and 

 at same time release the piece, should there be a 

 wish to remove it. There is also a binder con- 

 trol of feed by which it may be started or 

 stopped. 



The machine is strongly belted with good 

 length belts running over proper size pulleys. 

 .Vll head arbors are titled in the White adjustable 

 clamp bearings, making this the most satisfac- 

 tory running machine of its class on the market. 

 The spring posts are ail held by double arm 

 spring post binder with wrenches attached. 



The company will be glad to send further 

 details concerning this valuable machine upon 

 application.
