When lt is considered that tho south luis moro than ?0,000.000 acres <>r these two timbera, hitherto worthless as lumber, an adequate Idea of the value of tho lumber vulcanizing process may moro readily bo gained. Present kiln-drying or nlr-dry'ng methods havo always worthless as regards theta two timbers, though the tam bor when properly dried is exception-] ally (lue for gonornt use.
