 In comparing the sizes and prices together, it will be found that they 

 are not at all uniform, the prices being generally regulated by the size of 

 the rowid timher ; different diameters being taken for the various sizes 

 to be sawn, so as to give the least possible amount of work and waste of 

 material. At the above prices the saw-miller or contractor measures (for 

 his own information) and piles the timber so cut to dry at such distances 

 apart as may be agreed upon. He has also to keep the saws in repair, 

 and provide oil and files at his own expense, but of course much depends 

 on the '-previous agreement," which should never be omitted.
