The best black walnut la the United States is found in Indiana. Forty years ago could be found In that State a crop o( black walnut unequaled In quantity and quality, but to-day It is not to be found in audi immense trees, neither is the numtier of trees by any means ao uumerous. The largest and best trees were used years ago for fence rails and such commonplace purposes ; then it hail no particular commercial value. licfore walnut came into general ue, the most of domestic, furniture was made of cherry ; walnut ha now entirely superseded this and a'l other wood. Thousand of fence railrf can le found to-day h Indiana, that were split more than a half a century ago, and they are as sound now a theu. save tli. wear aud tear. Uf all hard wood the walnut i the most durable, save red cedar, and possibly, in tlie ground, black locust would equal it. our walnut I comparatively gone. In Isol tted -part of th" country, whvre the tlmN-r grows, there is yet some of inferior quality, but to a limited xtent. Hut the gencr.l bltck walnut grow ing iu the deep forest, in the rich low I ind, in its primitive nature, is a thing of tbo past. The general supply must now lie gathered Irom the four quarters of the earth to supidy a demand that required . ci-Htury for its culmination, and its culmination witiicsm s the astounding sKacle of the almost entire extinction of tlie valuable material. Kentucky has quite a stock of good walnut, and much that is very inferior on account of it gray color, and tough, hard texture. .Missouri also has some of rather an inferior quality. Western Ohio claim good walnut, but that of 1'aMern Ohio and West Virginia is joor in quality. The w hole stock of the State I not equal to a full demand for ten years to come. Furniture manufacturers do not now u it n lavishly as they did live year ago. Other wood are substituted when posihle, ami 1,(KX) feet of walnut are made to jro, as Lir again a it did a lew years ago. Chicago uses annually iu her different branches of manufacture, sm li a botic, school and office furniture, also in finishing material, doors, molding", counters, etc., 1 l.o(Nl,(MX) loot, l'robal.ly about halt of thi is tsought at the mill, and l-s not go into the account of the dealer nt all. Many of the largest manufacturers dire. 1, or have mills, or an interest iu mill, in ih walnut district. Cormpvndenct uffrerman'i Gaztttt.
