SOLID CONTENT OF CORDS. 
The solid content in cubic feet of stacked cords made up of trees of 
different diameters can be ascertained by referring to the following 
table. The solid content of trees from 1 to 5 inches in diameter 
such as furnish the brush used in revetment work, for which the 
whole tree is taken, was computed from the average weight of a cord 
of brush as compared with the weight of a cord of excelsior wood. 
The remainder of the table was computed from measurements taken 
in Indiana where excelsior wood was being cut in the woods from 
trees 3 to 12 inches in diameter, from measurements taken in Louisi- 
ana, and from wood being bolted lor staves.
