CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 25 remain in piles longer than this period, I would recommend a three- sticker bottom, as we find by experience that if the lumber is too lon<* m pile on the four-sticker bottom the rear sticker will draw too much moisture and dote the lumber on the ends. The object of having the rear sticker is to prevent the lumber from checking, but we find" that hardwood that is on sticks two or two and a half vears is damaged lees from checking of the 16-foot lengths on a three-sticker bottom than it is by dote on the rear end of the lumber on the four-sticker bottom In this sketch, the writer has used 16 feet as the prevailing length as that is the length we aim to cut as many of our logs as possible, cut- ting twelve or fourteen-foot lengths to save timber, and as we trim all our lumber to specified lengths, it will readilv be seen that the short lengths can be doubled on the stickers and held to place in good shape and there will be enough sixteen-foot lengths to carry up the pile in good form. r "In hardwood lumber we find the best results are obtained by using "Another important point is that the rear end of the lumber should not, be nearer the ground than twelve inches, and the front end of the pile should be high enough to give a pitch of three-fourths of an inch to the foot. In blocking up under the piling bottom solid blocking should not be used, as lumber is better preserved when there is a good circula- tion of air under the piles." The sketches accompanying this article are supplied by the author of the foregoing letter. Fig. 1 shows the ground plan of piling with four stickers; fig. 2 shows side elevation of four-sticker pile; fig 3 rear ele- vation ; fig. 4, ground plan of pile with three stickers, and fig. 5 side elevation of a three-sticker pile. The suggestions covered in this article and th* accompanying sketches are worthy the careful analysis of all northern operators. It will be noted that the scale of these drawings is one-half inch to the foot; that the proposed concrete blocks are 16 inches square on the

six-inch stickers for the frant and rear, and three or four-inch for the interior stickers. Our practice is to allow a pile to lean to the front abwt one inch to the foot; that is, a pile of lumber eighteen feet high would lean to the front eighteen inches. "And then, another point that is quite important, the front sticker should extend out beyond the ends of the lumber about two inches so that the sun will not check the ends of the lumber, and the same thing would apply in case a rear end sticker is used. The interior sticker should be so arranged that none of the boards will extend beyond the sticker less than eight inches. We find by experience that if a board is piled in this manner it will check from the end of the board up to the sticker, while if it extends a longer distance there is enough strength to the board to hold it together and not check. "The matter of roofing the piles is also quite important, and the roof boards should extend enough to the rear so that the drippings will strike on the ground and not on the rear of the pile. bottom 13 inches square at the top, and 6 inches in thickness dotted lines indicate stickers. tmciraess.
