BARREN AND EDMONSON COUNTIES, 19 
Cumberland table-land, and to the inexhaustible oak forests of 
the Green river counties, and those of the eastern and south- 
eastern part of the State. This timber is not to be regarded 
as treasured-up wealth—to be preserved and held sacred, and 
its removal to be deplored—but rather as wealth wasting, as 
capital lying idle and unproductive. Trees have their period 
of life—their time of death. Go through the broad forests and 
see how the giants of vegetation are falling into decay; creak- 
ing and dismantled by the storms, or mouldering away prone 
upon the earth. When any tree is full grown, it should be 
removed and give place to others striving to exist under its 
shade. A wise use of the woodman’s axe is not to be de- 
plored—it may be a saving as well as a wasting agent.
