Farm produce; Agriculture. 336 FORESTS FORESTS of the timber, the water for the boiler being supplied from a tank, pool or small stream ; and the logs are rolled on to the carriage from a skidway. The capacity of mills varies from one furnished with both circular and band saws and which runs night and day, cutting in twenty-four hours one or two hundred thousand feet, to one that runs for a longer or shorter period during the day, according to the demand of the customer and the will of the sawyer, cutting a few hundred or a thousand feet per day. American ingenuity has modified machinery to meet the demands of the timber in each locality as far as possible. On the western coast the trees are so large that the machinery used in the Bast would be useless, so the power and capacity has been in- creased to meet the demand. Some of the logs are so large that they can not be moved and must be blasted apart to reduce them to portable or work- able size. In such cases the percentage of waste is very high. Small tools.
