The Gruhbiiig up of Woods.

was the stock of timber equal to that in the above-named woods. 
But in every case the wood upon the ground has defrayed the 
entire cost of grubbing, draining, and fencing, and has left a sur- 
plus varying from 5Z. to 12/. per acre.

poles, kids, stakes, bindings, &c., from 8a. Ok. 22l>. of the least

Balance remaining from the value of wood, after paying

The value of this land cleared and drained might safely 
be put at 28s. or 30s. per acre. I put it at the lowest

I have said that this return is from one of the woist parts of
