BEST TIME FOR CUTTING TIM
RER

AS have some experience in cutting
timber, and calling myself a close observer
of such things your numerous readers may
place full confidence in my rules Cor cut
ting and deadening red timber only, for |
shall say nothing Of sap timber.
The very best time for cutting timber
for all purposes, is in the months of July
and August; and if you have not time at
this season OF the year, 20 cut our timber
it will be full rs well, and perhaps better,
to deaIen what you intend for thQ next
years use, and in SO doing, DC sure to cut
to the red. BY following this rule, you
will ind it advantageous in many ways,
Timber thus treated, will last longer, will
season quicker. be lighter to handle, free
from the attacks of worms, and when man
ufactured into barrels, kegs &c, will not
be subject to the ravages of bugs "a famil
lar enemy, supposed by some to Lo Il
worm, but is II small brown bug, about
one fourth OF an inch in length, and
makes its attacks in the spring months.
Besides the above advantages, timber
treated in this manner will burn much
more readily than # cut in winter or early
spring.
The practice of emitting early timber in
February should be condemned, for, AT
this season, the sap is more generally diff,
fused through the tree, and sap is the
bait for the bug and worm; hence the
importance of cutting or dcadening YOU
timber whilst the sap flows in tie surface,
and this is proof against their boring fur,
ther than through the white or sap
Such are my views.
