FELLING TIMBER. 



This is now a proper time for felling full-grown 

 Timber ; fuch as Am, Elm, Beech, and the like. 

 Mark fuch as are to be felled, as advifed in the 

 preceding article. 



It is feldom that it is either prudent or ufeful 

 to take up trees in this fituation by the roots ; 

 becaufe thefe are of little or no ufe when ta- 

 ken up ; and, in the doing of it, thofe that re- 

 main might be much injured in their roots. It is, 

 therefore, only required to cut them as near the 

 furface as poflible by the crofs-cut faw.
