A wcU-informcd writer in the Aianuic- turtrt' Jtecord, says the demand ia con ttanlly increasing for wood tunable for furniture, agricultural implement, wag ons, huggies, rail way cars, boat and hip ; for the interior finish of costly edi . iiees and for a thousand other uses. The New England and Middle States, from which these supplies were once so liberal ly drawn, arc being rapidly exhausted. That region lying between the great lakes aad the Ohio river, the Allegheny moan tains and the Mississippi river, the , greater portion of which was once the most magnificent hardwood forest id America, has been stripped of its choicest timber. I ne great furniture manufacturing cen ters of Boston, New York, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Cincinnati, the wagon and - agricultural implement factories of the New England States and the cities of Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo, Toledo, Columbus, Ohio, Springfield, South Bend, Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapo lis are sending their agents throughout ' the middle tenth to secure timber suita- 1 1 e At : , i i.i'.t'. naz ur uaeir uui isjacs. in amuivtun w that consumed in our own country, Lir , erpool, London, Glasgow, Ham, Bre men and Hamburg annually consume, and arc distributing centers for, a very large amount of our most valuable hard' woods.. ' Aa enormous amount of oak timber is used for flour, pork and oil barrels, and for other products, and millions of staves art shipped to the West Indies, Sooth America, Great Britain, Prance and Ger many each year. The question, then, naturally suggests itstlP-from whence shall wc obtain our future supply of hardwood products? Evidently Crom the States of West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Virginia, North Caro lina, Teunessec, Arkansas and Missouri ; . from a region, of which until recently the greater portion was almost as unknown to the commercial world as the wilder ness recesses of South America, Proba bly nowhere else in America are the con ' Atrloaa to favorable for diversified forest growth at in this region. " Par-sighted, shrewd men, who amassed , large fortunes ,irom, investments in tim ber; lands la Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, arc investing heavily in tbc bard-wood tim ber lands of the middle South, Millions of dollars have thus been invested, and in addition a very large amount of for eign capital. The choicest of these lauds arc fast passing into strong hnmla, and the cream Of them it bring rapidly taken. "The value of this timber, if easily con served, will reach enormous proportions. And alongside of her stores of timber, lies the marvelous mineral wealth of the South. - ' With so wonderful a combination of timber, minerals, soil, water, climate and atl tbc essential conditions for the sup port of a large population, it lies not be yond tSe scope of prophetic vision to forecast the future and to point but (his t become the most active and prosier- M region in America.

Tbeyv'e all been through that delightful experience. Should Mr. Harrison reuuire any new furniture for the White House, it is to be hoped the Kentucky Kepul.Ucsns will call hi attention to the excellent article mnit- i tured in Louisville, There should be, at least, a big new chair fur Lije. President-elect Harrison has leased the Sjwncerj cottage at Peer Park for a sum mer residence and his family eipecti to take possession about June 1 . The prop erty is owned by Henry G. Davis.
