.38 stands under the head of 40 inches 

 diameter. Amount in feet, 5950. Size of 

 timber, .84 log per thousand feet. 



Second Example. One finds the tree to 

 contain 12 logs, and the reading of scale .55 

 See page 20, in the same manner find 12 logs 

 line, then .55 under the head of 75 inches 

 diameter, amount in feet 51600. Size of 

 timber .23 log per thousand feet, etc. 



Remark First. Ascertain diameter at the 

 point of mean height on the tree, and deduct 

 the bark. 



(Except in case of one log tree, when 

 diameter of top end should be used.) 



Remark Second. There may be found cases 

 when the woodsman may find it advis- 

 able to deduct 1 and even 2 inches, as well 

 as the bark from the ascertained diameter. 

 For instance, when a tree is both small and 

 short, another, may be large but short, de- 

 duct 1 and 2 inches, respectively. 



NOTE Remark 2nd applies to contents 

 of trees in feet only. 



Remark Third. To contents of cordwood 

 given add 1 to 10% for close to loose piling 

 respectively, as well as retaining the bark; 

 add tops if used. 



Remark Fourth. Number of Ties is 

 approximated . 



Remark Fifth. The contents given in 

 feet for each tree is based on Spaulding Log 

 Rule.
