Ten per cent deducted for circular saw kerf. 



Note. — The volume in ''topwood" (top and branches) was obtained by subtracting the aggregate 

 cubic volume of sawlogs to a top diameter of 6 inches, inside bark, from the total used volume of the tree, 

 in cubic feet (to a minimum diameter of 2 inches, outside bark). 



TIES. 



Tables are for first-class ties only. They are based on the measure- 

 ments described under "Lumber," converted into ties by applying 

 data contributed by Mr. T. S. Bristol and Prof. R. C. Hawley, on 

 the tactual mill run, in ties, of logs of various sizes. The cubic fee 

 remaining in the topwood may be converted into cords as described 

 under "Lumber."

All first-class ties, 6 bv 8 inches bv 8 feet. 



Note.— The volume in "topwood" (top and branches) was obtained by subtracting the aggregate cubic 

 volume of tie logs to a minimum top diameter of 9 inches, outside bark, from the total used volume of the 

 tree, in cubic feet (to a minimum diameter of 2 inches, outside bark).
