NEW w1r TO rELL TREES.
The Axe No Longer Sounds in tho hains
Woods. bA

WOODS 81
The iumbermen are making decided
departure this season in the method Of
cutting down trees, using saws instead
of axes in telling them, says = SKowhe-
gan Me. } dispatch to the Boston
Herald.
Up to the last year the axe alone was
used by the lumbermen in the Maine
woods. Only the most expert men did
this part of the work, and men spent
years in the Maine woods before they
were consideie ed skilful enough to be-
come part of the crew employed in fell
ing trees By the time a man became
q chopper he felt like a second lieu.
tonant. On account of the number Of
years spent in learning this part of tho
business, the choppers intrusted with
telling trees made unusually good
wages, the best receiving nearly double
the amount paid those who were part
of the crew who took cal Of the timber
after it had fallen.
That method of Telling trees has been
found by the numbering companies to
be very expensive, both on account of
the time required to fell each tree and
the wages paid. Last year the expert
ment of cutting down the trees with
saws was tried, and was found SO sue
cessful that this year only small share
of the men sent into tho woods are ex-
pert choppers; or, il they are expert
choppers, they are not sent in with the
understanding that they are to use
their axes in cutting down trees, but
rather in trimming the limbs after the
trees have fallen, or In cutting up, the
trees into lengths for handling in. the
log drives.
There is another gain than that Of
time and in wages. 1t is in the
amount of timber saved on the stump.
Formerly it was q common thing to
see all over a lot stripped of trees
stumps from two to three feet atcve
the ground. This part of the tree was
the very best, both because it was free
from knots and because it was the
largest part of the tree in eirth. By
using the saw the trees may be cut off
nearer the ground and a big saving
made. .s. E
The saw used is slightly different
from the old crosscut saw, the teeth
being of pattern fitted to that work.
