THE profit on a rick Of wood
would vary as 10 the cost OF cut
ting. hauling and the price received.
According 20 the investigation. the
wood-lot owner would realize from
IS 20 $12 per day for his labor and
team. Thus, il can be seen. cut
ting wood is not only profitable, but
improves the wood-lot OF recent
years. when coal was cheap, wood
lot owners have neglected this
source Of income. Now since II pays
20 cut wood, let every wood-lot
owner. as soon as the busy season
is over. begin 20 cut wood. not only
for home consumption but for sale
10 the public.
There is always a market for
wood. even if one should have a
surplus. it does not spoil. but in
creases in value as it becomes sea

is what we must have and bacon
