SPRUCE STUMP CUT EIGHTEEN INCHES TOO
. HIGH.
losses through ordinary numbering are
considerable in the aggregate. Some
of the items connected with unneces-
sary waste are as follows:
Where the numbering is done under
the system of contracts and scbcon-
tracts, the temptation for a jobt,er to
do careless work is very great Unless
carefully watched he is apt to cut un-
necessarily high stumps, to leave large
tops in order to avoid the trouble Of
trimming off the branches, to leave
trees lodged in hard woods and other
wise TO fall below the standard of good
numbering.
The principal loss arising from care
less numbering is occasioned by ID
needlessly high stumps, (2) large tops,
(S) skids left in the woods, a. valuable
timber used in leveling roads and %
destruction of small growth in telling,
skidding and hauling.
When the trees are felled by chop
ping. the stumps are cut at the point at
which the AK naturally fails when the
chopper stands erect. This is usually
about three inches above the ground.
The majority of trees, however, are
somewhat lower, averaging about 30
inches in height. The sawyers protest
against cutting low stumps, because 1t
tires their backs to stoop over. Expe-
rience by careful lumbermen has PROV
ed that such high stumps are entirely
needless.
Where numbering Is done under con-
tract it has been the usual custom in
the Adirondacks to cut only logs which
will scale six inches at the top end.
Where timber is cut for pulp smaller
logs can be used, and many companies
which operate their own camps compel
tie chnnnerS- TO cut logs as small as
five and often four Inches. -rnv-~-
age size of the top log is nearer eight
inches There are in some cases 4 to
IL feet of wood left in tops which is fit
for pulp and which is actually so used
by many companies.
The point will at once be raised that
the tops are of inferior quality. The
reply is that many companies use this
material and that the total amount Is
so great that it would pay to utilize it
even at only one-fourth the price of the
rest of the timber.
The majority of skidways are built
of spruce. 1t is the custom to leave the
skids In the woods, and the owner
loses not only the stumpage value Of
the timber thus wasted, but also the
advantage of future increment which
the trees would take on IL left stand

The Sheepyard.

Not every farmer keeps sheep. but
those who do are often tempted In win
ter TO wish the cows were all sheep.
They need no milking, no grooming, no
cleaning out of stables, but they do
need to be well fed in winter with good
hay. little grain and some roots, and
they want pure water where they can
go to 1t as they please. The sheppard
may be as cold as all out of doors II IT

better for a run out Of doors In all

The Growth Of Animals.

1t is not generally known that the
human baby is smaller at birth in
! proportion to the size it ultimately
attains than most other animals.
The size Of the young Of any ami
NAL varies in proportion to the size
OF the brain, and is significant in
many ways. The average height of
baby at birth is about 12 inches,
and as the average height Of man is
generally put down ats feet 10 inches,
the proportion is as l to 583.
The young rhinoceros is 9 feet long
when ne is born, but when he Srcws
up he is 7 feet in length. Thus the
proportion is I to 3.5. The very same
measurements apply to young master
elephant, though The pachydrem in
question is always measured by the
height Of his back from the ground.
However, the young one is about 2
feet high, and the average height of
mature elephant is Z feet, 80 the
proportions remain the same. The
same relative measurements hold good
IN the case of the young hippopotamus.
n case of the deer we find that
the young are 24 feet in height, while
the full-grown deer is no more than
81 feet, or proportion Of l to 1.6.
The giraffe's proportions are those Of
] to 3.3, for it is ~ feet tall at birth,
and 8 feet when full grown.
A lion cub at birth is abous 8 inches
lonE while the grown-up Leo meas
uies about S feet, or the enormous
proportion OF l to as. The siger's
measurements are about the same,
and 30 are those Of Brer Bear.
The rspidity Of growth of animals
also varies greatly.
In general, the larger the animal at
maturity the slower its growth. a.
man is not fully grown ortil he is go
years old, though he attains his height
sooner.
So with animals. A colt or calf
gets his height at 3 PEARS, but there
after slowly gains in power unsil his
9Th year-the man'v development
being Eve times as slow.
An elephant natures ay slowly, and
lives 40 long, as man. There are
fabies telling Of the extremely long
Fife OF Crows and eagles, bat in few
cases have these been fully verified.
Euxvess.
