It has been his en deavor also to make this book as practical as possible, so that the owner of a large tract of woodland, and the farmer with his wood - lot, or the owner of a coun try place, or those interested in the various indus tries connected with forests and forest products, may glean hints of value. The greatest difficulty has been in deciding what to exclude rather than include. It is by no means easy to select from the great mass of technical and general literature on this subject those points which are of value and interest to the general reader, to the owners of woodland, and be ginners in general.
