When there is a deficiency of access to certain parts of the phintation, and additional rides or drives must be made, the lines should be marked out by barkiii<;- tlie trees in the course of it, or, what is better, by a circular mark with whitewash or lime. The roots should be grubbed up, and the surliice of the 2;round prepared and sown with the seeds mentioned in Chapter V. When there are steeps or hills, the drives should be formed with the most easy ascent for the convenience of timber carts. The ascent ought not to be g'reater than one foot in thirty. The most useful instru- ment for determining- the ascent or descent of forest drives, is constructed in the form of the connnon level, furnished with an index divided into ninety degrees. When the plummet line hangs at the forty-fifth degree, j^ the legs of the instrument indicate a perfect level (Jig. 10), and when it hangs at a lesser or greater number, it indicates the degree of ascent or descent accordingly. In plantations the thinningof which has been neglected, the trees next the sides ofthe drives are always the largest and most valuable, and afford a test at all times to judge how far judicious thinning' has been practised or neglected. When this essential part of culture has been neglected, the greatest caution is necessary i
