A lumberman may have tract o
pulpwood which he sells to a pape
mill at So a cord, for as many cords Al
il will make. II is in the contract tina
he shall cut and stack it. He cuts it il
la-foot lengths. and when the job il
complete, il measures 200 cords, and HI
receives 81 900 for it. Would he have
made or lost by cutting 4-foot lengths
instead OF l2f
He would have lost in the first place
from the additional labor required ia
cut 4-foot wood, but his principal loss
would have resulted from greatly
diminished number of cubic feet, due
to the fact that short sticks lie closer
together than large.
Measurements and experimental tests
have been made to ascertain exactly
how much actual wood is in cords OF
different lengths, sizes, shapes, and
species.
Had the 200 cords OF l2-foot wood
been cut in 4 foot lengths, there would
have been only l76 cords. and the own
er would have received for il $3.50 in
stead Of $1,000. II was, therefore,
clearly to his advantage to cut l2-foot
lengths, but it would have been to the
buyers advantage TO have it cut ia 4
foot lengths. He would have received
the same actual quantity of wood for
$40 less.
II also makes considerable difference
to the seller whether wood is chopped
or sawed. If chopped, the chips are
lost. Where the logs are large this
loss amounts TO no small total. In
cord Of 4-foot wood, with sticks inches
in diameter, the chip loss is from six TO
eight per cent and Of course, the short
or the sticks are cut the greater the
loss. II wood is sawed, the sawdust
loss is scarcely the half Of one per cent.
The difference due 10 spaces between
the sticks of course depends very much
on the shape and size OF the sticks.
Straight, smooth sticks lie close toge-
Their. and cord contains more wood
and less air. For given lengths, sticks
Of softwoods are usually straighter and
smoother. and when stacked lie closer
together. But whatever the kind. cords
Of long sticks are pretty sure 70 con.
tain more empty space than cords
made Of short pieces. Likewise, cords
of split wood contain less than cords OF
round sticks. The finer the wood is
split, the more il makes. Hence wood
dealers are often willing 10 sell kindi-
ings, all sawed and split, for the same
price per cord as unsplit wood. They
get back the cost Of labor in the In
creased bulk.
