On the modes of raising or renovating forests, not 
much can be said on this occasion. For natural up- 
growth, perfect clearing and fencing is reeommend- 
able. Subsequently, the removal of young, crooked 
trees and the surplus of saplings is needed. Seed- 
lings may be transferred from spots where they stand 
too densely, to more open or bare places. Suckers 
should be destroyed where the gain of good timber is 
an object. Periodic clearing of young trees is effect- 
ed according to the rate of growth of the particular 
species ; lopping of branches is advisable should they 
densely meet. For broadcast sowing, the ground 
should be completely cleared and burnt. By break- 
ing the ground a great acceleration of growth of the 
trees is attained, even to a tenfold degree. Planting 
in rows affords the best access for subsequent thinning 
and successive removal of the timber; the Quincunx 
system will give approach in three directions. Pines 
are planted in Germany only about seven feet apart, as 
they require least room of all trees; but fifteen feet 
is a fair distance at an age of forty years. The New 
Hampshire Pine stands only five or six feet apart at
