Rolling Logs unto Skidway the pulley runs a long f-inch decking chain, to the free end of which is attached a stout "; To haul up a log, the chain is brought up and under the log, and the "pup" is then driven into the log lying under the space to which the new log is to be placed. The other end of the chain is then fastened to the bitch grab-hook on the double-trees of the team. The word is given, and the log is quickly and easily rolled up the skidway. The pup is automatically released as the log falls in position, and is caught on the cant-hook of one of the rollers who has been guiding the log up the incline. The logs are stamped at both ends by the rollers several times to insure recognition at any future time. The horse harness used is of the ordinary type, with the addition, however, of "leisure" straps, which serve to keep the hind part of the tugs up from the ground. One hundred and fifty logs are skidded per day. The average size skid is about 25 feet wide by 70 feet long, and contains 350 logs. HAULING. Hauling, the second great division of the operation, begins about the middle of January, and is in full swing by the first of February. Snow is a cheap and efficient grading material, and its use has been developed to a high degree in Northern Ontario. From the early winter, the haul- ing roads are kept open by a crude plow, composed of two red pine logs bolted together, and braced by an ironwood sapling. A strong founda- tion is necessary for iced roads. Just before the beginning of hauling operations, light loads are sent over to break in the runs. Bad sink- holes are built up, and summits are shoveled down to the minimum on the standard of the sprinkler. When it is desired to load the barrel, it is plunged down into the water, fills automatically through the bottom, is then hauled up by
