To secure a second growth of better tree* several things mu*t be borne tn mind: (a) Too large openings should not be tnada. because the ground win dry out and wee berry buabaa, wilt ccmc tn and crowd out the young trees. For this r It la often a good plan to leave of the inferior tree* for abode. Some trees, tike the oaks, hickories and beech, have heavy seeds which cannot be transported any dlatunce except by animals or birds, while others like the birch, maple, basswood have light seeds which are tarried long distances by tbe wind. For this reason more frequent seed trees of the nut varieties are neo to get a good stocking of young 8. Woodlands made up of nearly even-aged stand of second-growth are more comparable to the garden than to the dairy. Here the problem la to remove tbe weeds as a means of getting a quicker yield of timber. The small, stunted trees are the weeds, since they can never make a normal growth. The lance, healthy trees should be favored, because they will grow rapidly to maturity. They are not to be confused with the mature tree* In the old woodland, though In same species will be favored in both case*.
