If you ship your lumber " all rail," load it with even ends showing, so that a good impression is given when the car is opened, as many a buyer will judge the lumber by the way it is loaded, on the principle that one who will load a car in a careless man" ner will also manufacture the same way. Unless so ordered, a car should not contain mixed lengths, i. e., 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet, all thrown in together, as so many shippers are wont to load it. If different lengths must be shipped, load each one by itself and not promiscuously. It looks better and will sell far more readily.

TELL what's in A CAR.

Don't write to your consignee and say, " I've just shipped you a car of lumber." Tell him wliat you have sent as nearly as possible. Say : "I have loaded a car of [give the kind] lumber for you, containing the following." Then give number of feet, number of pieces, thickness, length, how well seasoned, and any general remarks you may think will aid the seller in describing the lumber to a customer. If the stock is at all desirable, it will be sold by the time it arrives, and can be ordered
