A discussion is going the rounds Of
the press as tosthe relative strength Of
vet and dry timber. We do not be.
lieye there is mich to be made ont Of
the discussion. Some kinds Of timber
are stronger when dry, while other kinds
are stronger when wet or green. It is
safe to say that all woods are harder
and less liable to bend when dry than
when wet or green. But most hard
woods when wet will possess more ten.
sile strength than when dry.
Timber thoroughly seasoned u more
brittle than when green, and with the
necessary force will break square Off
while the same timber green would
stand about the same pressure 81 bend,
ing without breaking. Take ! hickory
sapling thatit isS5 almost impossible to
break, in its green state, Though il
may bend double. and thoroughly dry
i, and you may easily break Il almost
square Of, = Is the boys say. So with
almost any kind Of timber. Drying
makes il sitter. more unyislding. but
in few instances stronger. nericss
