A saving in Lumber of 

 $17,178,000 Annually is 

 Possible by Kiln Drying 

 Instead of Preliminary Air

THE 



KILN DRYING 



OF LUMBER 



Is a new and authoritative 



work covering the entire 



subject 



By Harry Donald Tiemann, M.E.,M.F. 



In charge. Section of Timber Physics and 

 Kiln Drying Experiments of the U. S. Forest 

 Service. Special Lecturer iu Wood Technol- 

 ogy and Forestry, University of Wisconsin.

 consin.

The value of technical knoveledge of KILX 

 DRYING is self evident, this book, as does 

 no other upon the market, gives the reader 

 the most recent and most clearly expressed 

 information. The United States is taking a 

 lead in th? adoption of the KILN DRYING 

 method an 1 this volume will increase our 

 lead. It is a practical as well as a theoreti- 

 cal treatise. The text and illustrations guide 

 the way to the most efficient methods of 

 work. 



KILX DRYING improves the condition of 

 tin- 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 chaise, 

 the Are 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 facilitates 

 hitndllng and shipping. 



The present losses in preliminary Air Dry- 

 ing (mn be reduced by KILN DRYING from 

 12 per cent, for Hard Woods and 5 per cent. 

 for Soft Woods to 2 per cent. There is a 

 possible annual saving of $17,178,000.
