Varying Views About Timber. 
Cut in Summer.— Tell H. M. S., of Battle 
Creek. Mich., to cut his hickory timber in 
July and peel the bark off it, and he will 
never be troubled with Powder-post beetle 
or any other insect. The timber will also 
last longer, cut as above. I have seen 
hickory rails nearly eaten up by the worms 
when cut in Winter, but never saw any 
damage done when made in Summer and 
peeled during 50 years’ experience. 
Indiana. thomas j. ward. 
As I have had a large quantity of second 
growth hickory spoiled by the Powder-post 
beetle I have given the matter over 30 
years of study, and have found that timber 
cut when the sap is all taken up by the 
growing vegetation, when the bark will not 
peel, when the new annular ring next to 
the bark has hardened, or about the last 
of August or the first of September, owing 
somewhat to early or late season, is the 
only safe rule to adopt in cutting hickory. 
Clark Corners, 0. h, s. d. 
If H. M. S., of Battle Creek, Mich., will 
cut hickory when the “rye is in the bloom,” 
which will be in June when the sap runs, 
I do not think the worms will trouble it. 
In some years’ experience in getting out 
wagon stock for the California trade this 
was the time selected for cutting hickory, 
not only to prevent worms getting in, but 
the wood is tougher and more durable. The 
bark must be removed. G. c. s. 
Pattenburg, N. J. 
February Full Moon.—A n old man who 
made a business of making ax-handles told 
me he always cut his ax-handle timber in 
sible with a basswood cut any other time 
Logs cut in full moon in February are verj 
apt to quarter check unless sawed imme 
each end.
