Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Canadian Forest Trees The substance of the tree, wood, is used for making houses, barns, ships, furniture, railway cars, implements, fences and many other things, and is also the chief fuel in Canada for heating houses. Some trees are used to make paper and others fur nish us food. Every year wood becomes of greater necessity to mankind. We know this because the price of wood is constantly increasing. Canada is one of the greatest tree-growing coun tries of the world. Many years ago people used to think that some day all the trees in Canada would be cut down and the land covered with farms. They did not know, as we do, that if all the trees in Canada were cut down tomorrow more than half the land could not be used for farms, because it is too hilly, stony, rocky, sandy, or otherwise barren.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Forests: Forest Trees, Timber, and Forest Products In addition to the foregoing there are numerous other branches of trade that could not be carried on without the aid of wood, which, although it does not form part of their productions, is yet essential to their manufacture or development: such, for instance, as lime burners, brick makers, &c. Railroads are enormous consumers of wood. In building a new road the estimate is that ties are required for the mile, and 300 ties are annually wanted to keep the mile in repair. Xvhen it is borne in mind that these ties are, for the most part, taken from sound hemlock, oak, larch or cedar trees, selected of a size just sufficient to furnish one or two ties only (the tree being simply hewn On two sides, and leaving the heart entire), the destruction of choice timber approaching a size suitable for sawing is immense. The timber alsoused by railroads in erecting bridges and trestlework and in fencing is a. Great item, and the consumption of wood for fuel by locomotives has attained such proportions that other kinds of fuel are being resorted to by many of the roads, owing to the high price and difficulty of obtaining wood, even where the roads traverse a partially wooded district. As an instance of the amount of wood so consumed, an official report shows that on the New York Central Railroad there is required for each twenty-five miles passed over by each locomotive one and three-quarters cords of wood, and this even is supposed to be one-third less than the amount actually burned by them.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Talking Trees, And, Canadian Forest Trees Then indeed came a new day for the forest. The railway company needed trees for its station houses and its bridges, and many thousand trees were used for sleepers or cross-ties - the pieces of wood to which the steel rails are spiked - and soon the axe strokes were ringing in the forest all day long. When that work was completed we breathed freely again for we thought all danger was past, butsoon we saw carloads of logs and boards going along the railway, always going westward, and we heard that they needed lumber for building houses and schools and churches in the prairie country. At first the news filled us all with horror, but after thinking over it a while the older trees saw that it was what we had been growing for all these years. When we were saplings and half-grown trees we did not want to be cut down: We wanted to go on living simply for the joy of it, but we always had this thought that we were created for some purpose, and that we wanted to live till that purpose was accomplished. As we saw big trees die of old age, or insect attacks, or go down in a wind-storm, we felt that this was not the end for which we were created. It was not for this we wanted to live on. It was not because we wanted to die of old age that we shuddered when the Red Demon killed our brothers and threatened us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Trees of the Northern States and Canada: East of the Rocky Mountains The shortness of the period, too, during which the flowers or fruits of certain trees are in their prime, or even exist on the trees, has necessitated close watch. The exact time must' be ascertained by observation, and if, perchance, I miss it I must wait until another year for another opportunity. Then I may find it an off year (imagine my disappointment I), and still another year must be waited. Procuring specimens from lofty tree-tops are trivial ordeals compared with instances like these.

Where these are given they are found in the explanatory notes.

This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arborist William Bryant Logan recovers the lost tradition that sustained human life and culture for ten millennia. Once, farmers knew how to make a living hedge and fed their flocks on tree-branch hay. Rural people knew how to prune hazel to foster abundance: both of edible nuts, and of straight, strong, flexible rods for bridges, walls, and baskets. Townspeople cut their beeches to make charcoal to fuel ironworks. Shipwrights shaped oaks to make hulls. No place could prosper without its inhabitants knowing how to cut their trees so they would sprout again. Pruning the trees didn’t destroy them. Rather, it created the healthiest, most sustainable and most diverse woodlands that we have ever known. In this journey from the English fens to Spain, Japan, and California, William Bryant Logan rediscovers what was once an everyday ecology. He offers us both practical knowledge about how to live with trees to mutual benefit and hope that humans may again learn what the persistence and generosity of trees can teach.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sylva Americana: Or a Description of the Forest Trees Indigenous to the United States, Practically and Botanically Considered Among the variety of useful and interesting productions abounding in this vast continent, none claim our attention in a more eminent degree than the indigenous trees of our forests. Independent of ornamenting the earth and of furnishing us with timber and fuel, they arrest the progress of impetuous and dangerous winds; maintain the temperature of the air by diminishing extreme cold, and regulating intense heat; oppose the formation of ice, and shelter the earth from the scorching rays of the sun; produce an abundance of water in the streams, and oppose a barrier to washing away or undermining their banks; preserve and enrich the soil on hills and mountains; discharge the electricity of the atmosphere; and serve as laboratories for purifying the air we breathe. The trees of our country recall the idea of it in the most forcible manner, wherever we meet them; and are often the first objects that attract the attention of those who have been long absent from their native land, and who, on their return, pour out their genuine effusions of joy on beholding them. We are aware that many an American has sighed under the shade of the banana for a sight at the village elm, the well-known oak, or the unchanged pine of New England. We are told of a young Indian, Pontaveri from Otaheite, who, amidst the splendor of Paris, regretting the simple beauty of his native island, sprang forward at the unexpected sight of a banana tree in the Garden of Plants, embraced it, while his eyes were bathed in tears, and exclaiming with a voice of rapture... "Ah! tree of my native country!" seemed by a delightful illusion of sensibility, to imagine himself, for a moment; transported to the land which gave him birth. In the United States, there are more than 140 species of forest trees, which exceed 30 feet in height: in France, there are but 30 trees that attain this size, of which 18 enter into the composition of the forests, and 7 only are employed in building. Though vast tracts of our soil are still veiled from the eye of day by primeval forests, the best materials for building are nearly exhausted.

Its leaves are of a brilliant green, palmated, and borne by petioles from eighteen to twenty-four inches long, nearly triangular, and united at the edges; they vary in length and breadth from one foot to five feet, and are so arranged that the smallest occupy the centre of the summit, and the largest the circumference. Before their development they are folded like a fan, and, as they open, the outside sticks break off and fall, leaving the base surrounded with filaments woven into a coarse, flimsy, and russet web.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Plant Life in Canada: Or Gleanings From Forest, Lake and Plain There is a common little weed that is known by the familiar name of Carpetweed, a small Polygonum, that grows at our doors and often troubles us to root up, from its persevering habits and wiry roots. It is crushed by the foot and bruised, but springs again as if unharmed beneath our tread, and ourishes under all circumstances, however adverse. This little plant had lessons to teach me, and gave courage when trials pressed hard upon me. The simplest weed may thus give strength if we use the lesson rightly, and look up to Him who has pointed us to that love which has so clothed the grass of the field and cared for the preservation of even the lowliest of the herbs and weeds. Will He not also care for the creature made in His own image? Such are the teachings which Christ gave when on earth. Such teachings are still taught by the owers of the field.
