In such in- stances the measurement, was made up of more than 20 per cent wind, as compared to the actual stock, when manufactured clear of wane. The same rule often applies in the manipulation of cull stotk, a large percentage of which is forced on the operator, owing to certain regulations in cutting, and hidden defects in the different species of wood. No operator can handle cull stock except at a loss, as it costs as much to log, river drive, raft, boom, saw out and ship, as sound good stock, and he is forever at his wit's end, to find a market where he can unload the cull to best advantage. It is always a question of quantity vs. quality in the manufac- ture, hence I claim it should be the sole prerogative of the owner as to whether he manufactures with a jig, circular, gang or band saw, or, trims and turns the cull, in order to obtain merchantable stock, (thereby cutting down the quantity in many cases 25 per cent), or takes special care to conserve all the cull at the expense of lower- ing the grade, etc. Like every other industry every one connected with the lumber trade wants "his pound of flesh" and in closing let me state; I am not engaged in the lumber biz. at the present time, consequently have "no bone to pick" when I suggest the following:—Establish One Universal Rule of measurement for all the Provinces—Make the examinations of prospective cullers diffi
