Plant an English Walnut Tree 



If you have room plant a grove of 

 them, for the cultivation of the 

 English Walnut in the north is not 

 only one of the newest, but one of 

 the most rapid growing industries 

 in the United States. The early 



Klanter is bound to reap a golden 

 arvest. Write us for details. 



Look at this record of The 

 Thompson Orchard, near Roches- 

 ter, 228 trees, the largest com- 

 mercial bearing orchard in the 

 East, producing in one season, 

 260 bushels Walnuts, 32 lbs. to 

 the bushel, sold at 25c. per 

 pound. This orchard has been 

 in bearing many years, with 

 occasional temperatures 20 de- 

 grees below zero. 



"Northern Grown" means speci- 

 ally bred to severe changes of cli- 

 mate and low temperatures, strong, 

 vigorous, husky young trees, able 

 to offer unyielding resistance to 

 severest weather. 



They are the sort worth having.

MAKING PAPER FROM DEAD 

 LEAVES 



BOTH in Europe and in America there 

 has been a sharp rise in the cost of 

 paper, and this has been peculiarly 

 critical in France, says the Scientific Amer- 

 ican. Even before the war France im- 

 ported half a million tons of paper pulp 

 yearly from Austria and Germany, or 

 about half of the whole amount used. The 

 cutting off of the supplies from the Cen- 

 tral Powers, and the severe deforestation 

 due to the war have made paper pulp so 

 scarce and so expensive that many peri- 

 odicals have been forced to suspend pub- 

 lication. It is now proposed to make use 

 of fallen leaves to supply this lack of raw 

 material. On March 27, M. Edmond Per- 

 rier of the French Academy of Sciences 

 presented before that body an account of 

 the successful experiments along this line 

 of Madam Karen Bramson. 



The process is very simple, rapid and 

 inexpensive ; the leaves are first crushed, 

 which reduces the blades to powder, which 

 is carefully separated from the ribs and 

 veins. It is the latter which form the raw 

 material for paper pulp. They are subject- 

 ed to a somewhat rapid lixiviation and are 

 then washed and bleached, whereafter the 

 pulp is ready for use. The leaf powder 

 which remains is useful in two ways. It 

 has a high food value, since it contains the 

 digestible and nutritious parts of the leaf 

 after the removal of the cellulose. As a 

 food for cattle its nutritious value is almost
