Fig. 1.— Four-foot hemlock piled directly on the ground and with no spacing between the 
ranks. "Wood should never be placed directly on the ground. P^ven if these ranks had 
been separated, the pile in the background running at right angles to them would have cut 
off most of the air circulation 
Fig. 2.— Hemlock pulp logs 12 to 14 feet long piled in a drainage canal 12 feet deep. The logs 
which are not wholly submerged will decay with extreme rapidity, owing to the moisture 
conditions being favorable to decay and the impossibility of further drying 
Fig. 3. — Hemlock logs used as foundations for 12 to 14 foot pulp wood. The accumulation of 
bark from the handling and peeling of logs is nearly at the top of the rotten foundations, so 
that the wood might about as well be piled on the ground. The whole mass is an excellent 
fungus bed 
Fig. 4.— Concrete skid, built according to the sketch shown in fig. 1 (p. 11), in experimental 
use at a mill
