Measuring the Board -foot Contents of
Logs
The number of board ,feet in 'logs
is computed ,from a log rule that gives
the number of !board feet for 4ogs of
different diameters and lengths. There
are many log rules i15 use and the
number of board feet assigned by the
various rules to logs of the same size
vary considerably. The buyer natur-
ally wishes to .use a log rule that gives
low values and the seller prefers one
that gives high values.
Vhe.diameter of the 'log is :measured
inside the 'bark at the small end. The
diameters are rounded to whole inch-
es: that is, an 8.8 inch log is entered
as 9 inches and and 8.3 inch log !tts. 6
inches. The length is measured and
logs are usually cut in 8, '10, 112, 214 and
16 foot lengths. Lags should be cut 3
to 4 inches longer in order that the
hoards may he squared to the even
foot lengths. The number of board
feet in the log is taken from the log
rule. Deductions for defects such as
erook, rot, etc., are made for each log
when it is measured. A scale stick
has the log scale priated on it, and it
is used for measuring the ;diametera
of the logs.
Doyle •Rule.—The Doyle rule has
been the legal rule in ;Ontario since
1479 and most logs cut on farm wood -
lots are measured by this rule. It
gives extremely 'low values .for logs
in the lower aiameter classes.
Scribner Rule.—The Scribner tRule
gives mach higher values than the
Doyle for logs in the lower diameter
classes.
Doyle -Scribner Rule.—The values
of the Doyle rule are used for logs up
eto 28; inches in diameter and above 28
inches the Scribner values are used.
International Log Rele.-.--The In-
ternational rule gives values that are
close to what can be sawn out by its-
ing good methods. It is fair to 'both
buyer and seller.

TIN MINES OF CORNWALL
New activity and hope have come
to the western -section of Cornwall, in
England, with the,rise in the price, of
tin in the world's • markets. The an-
cient and abandoned mines round
Rearuth and St. 'just, 'with their- dis-
used pit -head .shafts, .surrounded by
gorse -grown niatinds, are 'being re-
opened, an,d other mines that have
lon,g worked at a loss are now once
again making a profit and giving em-
ployment.
There W.R.S. a time long ago when
tin spelled wealth. It :became a slang
word •for money, Kipling conveyihg
bis impression when he wrote, "The
world ;was more than kin while he
held the ready tin." The most famous
and prdfitable of Cornish mines is
that of IDolcoath, near Camborne.
'Phis was owned by the Basset ;fam-
ily, wirse home, iTebidy, ;became a
golf course some years ago.
Dolcoath was originally mined for
copper, and then was tried for tin. In
the last 100 years 17,000,000 worth
of metal has been excavated within
half a mile of the surface. Other cele-
brated mines are poldory-, Wheal
Cupboard, and 'Tresevean.
In 1020. SO per cent of the world's
tin came from Cornwall, and for the
next 70 years the industry eruployed
250,000 men. But by 1930 this num-
ber had dwindled to less than 11600.
At various timea eau() mines have
been sunk. but of 'these only about
300 are active now, while fewer than
half a dozen of those still left are
important.
It is estimated that 12110 is rough
ly the lowest 'price per ton at which
Sin can profrtably be mined in .Corn-
wall. At the end of 11927, tin ivas
fetching EMS a ton. but by '1950 it
bad, aeclined to £111116. It rose to ENS
in 11932, but did not touch the R.210
mark until 1935. IA year later it stood
at R2133, and in the early part of 1937
it rose rapidly to over I300. It has
since Ifluctuated considerably, 'but has
remaMed much 'higher than the ;pried
obtained during recent years.
Tin is one of the oldest of British
ifidustries. It was mined in England
centuries 'before Julius Caesar landed
an the south coast. • two thousand
year ago. It led ;to very sarly settle-
ment of the country round Land's
End. ;Evidence of this is provided by
the numerous prehistoric remains in
this part of Cornwall. Among the
more important megalithic monu-
ments are those at Laynon, altifra,
Chun, and &anon
The stone circles of Boskednan.
Boscawen-un, And Tregeseal are a:so
famous, and point to Carnaall's be-
ina inhabited long before the curtain
of authentic laistory was rung up. The
in trade 'haa endured many periods
of severe trial, particularly just :before
the accession of Queen .Elizabeth in
the sixteenth century. Elizabeth re-
vived the industry by bringing over
German miners.
'From the .earliest days tin was
mined under stringent and peculiar
rules, which were later codified and
enforced by the celebrated Stannary
Courts. Ancient charters exempted
-the 'tin workers from all ordinary
jurisdiction, except in cases affecting
land, life, or lima, putting them sole-
ly under the .control ;if the Stannar-
ies.
A tax on tin, after smelting, was
formerly paid ta the 'Duke of Corn-
wall, the eldest son of the reigning
King. Tbesmeltina laacks had eo be
stampei with the Duchy seal before
they could be sold. These dues, were
abalisbed in ,11843a, and compensation
was made to the ;Duchy in their place,
The first cheater to embody the
auks of the Stannary Courts was
Shat of 'Edmund, Earl of Cornwall,
but it iasimpossible to say how far
back they go before the days of that
nobleman. ?Twenty-frsur s ta n MI tors

represented the whole of Cornwall.
Their meeting was ;called a .Parlia-
ment, and was the !first held an 'Ring -
obit Down, a ,stretch of highland on
the Cornish side of the Tamar, Later
these' !Parliaments assembled in Tki-
ro, 'Cornwall's :cathedral city.
The last Parliament was 'held in
17150, but the .stannaries were nat ab -
(dished until 1896. ITite'!more import-
ant old Cornish custom 'guaranteed
by these courts was that the "free
tinners" had the right to work upon
rendering !the "toll -in." generally one -
fifteenth of the produce, to the owner
of the mine or the lord of the manor.
The ohief centers of the mining in-
dustry are atedruth and Camb.orne,
which were united into a single urb-
an area in 1934. ,Redruth is 4440 feet
above sea -level, and, though in the
heart of the raining district, is within
a few trifles of. St. Iran, the famous
seaside resort of artists, the Lizanda
the most southerly part of Great
Britain, and Land's End.
For a long time the scenic attrac-
tions of 'Redruth were not supposed
to exist, but modern developments in
the 'art world have caused visitors to
look on its shapely Regency chimney
shafts with mew eyes. In 1792, Mur-
dock introduced gas light into 'Reds'
ruth, This was the first .time this
fore: of illumination was ever used,
Close 'by Redruth is Cern Brea, a
fine hill. 750 feet high, on top of
which are the remains of a castle,
This is regarded as one of the most
remarkable castles in the British
Isles, 'because its foundation appears
to be very shaky. It is built on rocks
so loosely piled together that the •sky
can be seen through the cracks be-
tween 'them.
It looks as though the' first sum-
mer breeze would overthrow it, yet
it has withstood the fiercest gales of
several centuries. Not far away is the
well-known amphitheater of 'Gwen -
nap Pit, in which john Wesley
preached many Times. It is always
crowded on Whit -Monday, when re-
ligious services are still .held there.
Follosving tang winters with ;deep
snow, as this winter promises to be, a
great deal of trouble is usually experi-
enced with hairlessness in young pigs,
goitre 'in calves and lambs, and joint
14 in foals, it is suggested that these
trotshies may ;be traced to a lack of
iodine in the ehyroid gland of ;the
pregnant female, anal 'losses from 'this
cause may be avoided .by 'feeding io-
cline, in the farm of potassium iodide.
.Potassiurn iodide has a 'generally
stimulating effect, toning up the whole
system, and exerts a partlicularly
atnong influence on the generative or-
gans. Females which .are apparently
non -breeders will ;often th.ecome pr.eg-
sant after this dnug lhas been admin-
istered for a few naonths.

water; sprinkle this solution over 100
