92 DISPOSING OF HOME-GROWN TIMBER. 



should be monthly, and should be done by cheques, except to day 

 labourers. 



The selling of the timber should be by the forester only, or his 

 assistant ; and, to prevent mistakes, all thicknesses over one inch 

 should be sold by the cubic foot — one inch and under by the 

 superficial foot. For local sales, the terms should be cash within a 

 month, and for large consignments, cash on delivery, less 2£ per 

 cent. 



No timber should be sold to doubtful individuals or firms. In 

 such cases it should be cash on invoice ; and in all offers there should 

 be reference made to the bankers, in order to know the financial 

 position of those to whom the timber is about to be sold. • 



I have endeavoured, to the best of my ability, to lay before the 

 reader the most profitable mode of disposing of home-grown timber, 

 manufactured to any extent ; and to describe, in as short a manner 

 as possible, the system practised by me for the last seventeen 

 years, to the satisfaction of my employers.
