AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[April, 
dicate the character and thoroughness of the work. 
Figures are, to the majority of persons, dull reading, 
while maps, pictures and diagrams that allow the eye to 
take in the subject at a glance are far more useful—a 
fact recognized in making these Forestry Bulletins. 
Taking up at random the Bulletin for Minnesota No. 5, 
we have a neat map of the State, plainly showing each 
county, etc. By marks or “signs,” but mostly by colors, 
are indicated for the counties respectively; the amount 
of hard wood, the standing pine, the mixed pine, 
and hard wood, of pine already cut, the birch lands, 
etc. This map tells the story so completely that 
few explanatory words and figures are needed, and these 
are given on a page opposite the map. As a similarmap 
is made for each timber-producing State, it will be seen 
what a vast work has been done in this Department of 
the Census, and in what a practical manner its results 
are presented. A glance at these Bulletins, issued far in 
advance of the final report, shows with startling distinct¬ 
ness the small supply of timber left to meet the future, 
and constantly increasing demands, and gives marked 
emphasis to our frequent advice to plant forest trees as 
a profitable investment.

Hear Sirs: After three years’ test of your Asbestos 
Liquid Paint on my hotel, the Palisades Mountain House, I 
am pleased to say I consider it superior in every respect to 
any other I have ever used—not excepting the best white 
lead. Although only one coat of your paint was used, it 
looks as fresh and perfect to-day as If it had been applied 
within a month. As you are aware, I am a large user of 
paints, and in future shall use no other.
