Second: Milling — $1.20 to $4.00. 



Third: Hauling — $2.50 to $15.00 per 1,000 feet, b. m. 



2. The output of common is supposed to equal that of firsts and 

 seconds. 



3. Basal prices per 1,000 feet b. m. lumber: 



Cull @ $10; Common @ $15; ists and 2ds @ $25.)

Example: A tree yielding 60 per cent, of cull lumber at an outlay 

 of $16 for lumber production has a negative value of $2 per 1,000 feet 

 b. m.; the owner loses $2 when manufacturing it into lumber, per 

 1,000 feet, b. m. 



TABLE No. S- 



Table showing the influence of hauling distance and form of 

 product on cost of hauling: 



(For fairly dry stuff and ordinary roads.) 



(Hauling price $2.50 per day per team and driver.) 



Example: 1,000 feet b. m. of lumber can be hauled over six miles 

 of country roads, on wagons, at an expense of $1.40. 



Tables No. 4 and No. S illustrate the following laws: 



1. Far from the market, a tree fit for lumbering must be a fine 

 tree, yielding a small percentage of cull only. 



2. Trees must be converted into lumber or cordwood in close 

 proximity to the forest, if they are of poor quality. 



3. Stumpage values decrease rapidly with increasing haulage and 

 increasing output of cull lumber.
