WORKMANin an I II C waeon fac
tory was explaining the various
tages of wagon construction to aa
interested visitor. He picked up
two pieces of long leaf yellow pine,
and asked the visitor to notice the difference in
the weight of the two pieces. The lighter
piece, he explained, was kiln-dried. Tho
heavier piece was air-dried. It had retained
the resinous sap which adds strength and
toughness, while in the kiln-dried piece of '
lumber this sap had been drawn out by the too
rapid application of heat

weigh; under which the kiln-dried piece of
lumber broke.
To the eye there was no difference between
these two pieces of lumber, but when put to
the test there was a vast difference. So it is
