The value of technical knowledge of KILN 

 DRYING IS self evident, — this book, as does 

 no other upon the market, gives the reader the 

 most recent and most clearly expressed infor- 

 mation. The United States is taking a lead in 

 the adoption of the KILN DRYING m=thod 

 and this volume will increase our lead. It is a 

 practical as well as a theoretical treatise. The 

 text and illustrations guide the way to the 

 most efficient methods of work. 



KILN DRYING improves the condition of 

 the wood for the purpose for which it is used; 

 It reduces losses from warping, checking, case- 

 hardening and honey-combing that occur in 

 Air Drying; it reduces the interest charge, the 

 fire risk, the weather attacks by reducing the 

 period necessary to carry wood from the time 

 It IS cut to that when it is fit for use; it reduces 

 the weight and thus facihtates handling and 

 shipping. 



The present losses in preliminary Air Drying 

 can be reducedby KILN DRYING from 12% 

 for Hard Woods and 5% for Soft Woods to 

 2%, There is a possible annual saving of 

 517,178,000.
