Farmers’ Bulletin 228: Forest Planting and Farm Management. _ 
This treats of the best use of forest trees for planting on farms, and gives planting 
plans based upon the ideal practical relation between farmstead, woodlot, shelterbelt, 
and windbreak.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, SEASONING, AND PRESERVATIVE TREATMENT OF 
TIMBER. 
Bulletin 6: Timber Physics, Part I: Preliminary Report. 
This discusses the need, object, and scope of investigations into the nature of our 
important woods, especially their mechanical and technical properties, giving refer- 
ences to preceding works and explaining the methods to be pursued by the Service 
(then the Division of Forestry), including the forms of record and illustrations of the 
machinery in use. 
*Bulletin 8: Timber Physics, Part II: Progress Report. Price, 15 cents. 
Contains the results of tests for strength made on longleaf pine prior to 1893; a com- 
parative study of their significance, particularly as dependent on certain conditions 
of the test specimens; a comparison of bled and unbled timber, accompanied by a 
study into the chemical conditions of both, and an account of the general character- 
istics of longleaf pine timber, of the geographical distribution of the species, and of 
the experimental methods used in the tests. 
* Bulletin 10: Timber: An Elementary Discussion of the Characteristics and Proper- 
ties of Wood. Price, 10 cents. 
A discussion of the characteristics and properties of wood in general, and of the 
American woods in particular, designed to be of service to engineers, architects, 
carpenters, lumbermen, and all woodworkers. 
Bulletin 41: Seasoning of Timber. 
A study of the general effects and advantages of seasoning timber, with especial 
reference to railroad ties and their preparation for preservative treatment, including 
tests of the rate at which seasoning takes place under different conditions and of the 
effect of different methods of piling ties.
