SOLID CONTENT OF CORDS. 



The solid content in cubic feet of stacked cords made up of trees of 

 different diameters can be ascertained by referring to the following 

 table. The solid content of trees from 1 to 5 inches in diameter 

 such as furnish the brush used in revetment work, for which tho 

 whole tree is taken, wits computed from the average weight of a cord 

 of brush as compared with the weight of a cord of excelsior wood. 

 The remainder of the table was computed from measurements taken 

 in Indiana where excelsior wood was being cut in the woods from 

 frees '.', to 12 inches in diameter, from measurements taken in Louisi- 

 ana, and from wood being bolted lor staves.
