PLATE VIII. 



Chipping at about the midseason of the second year's working. This represents average good 

 practice, but a single piece of iron is being much used instead of two bent gutters. At the rate 

 of one-half inch at each streak, the face moves up the trunk about 16 inches a year. Including 

 the high face, this permits of 6 to 8 years' working.
