Horizontal furrows as a protection against excessive washing on 

 steep slopes appear to have been first employed in northern Ger- 

 many at Muppberg, near Neustadt on the Heide. Here in 1843, 

 Schlich began the reforestation of the mountain by use of these 

 furrows, and the plan has proven so practicable that it is still used 

 by the present administration. The plan was taken up almost 

 simultaneously in other parts of Germany and in France, where 

 Eugene Chevandier discussed his work in this connection before 

 the Academy at Paris as early as 1814. 



Notable examples of the practice in various parts of Germany 

 and cases of localities where the adoption of this protection seems 

 advisable, are cited.

 pregnation of beech ties. In the process here used each tie takes 

 up about 35 kg. of the impregnating fluid, two kilograms of this 

 being creosote oil and 1.8 kg., zinc chloride; the remainder is 

 water. The output of this plant is given as 300,000 ties per year.
