To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The adage says, " an old oak tree is like *' a merchant ; you never know his real '' worth till he be dead f intimating, that no one can discover with certainty, whether it be sound or. Otherwise, till taken down 3 U7 and cut in pieces. And every man, accus- tomed to purchase such trees wliilc stand- ing, will subscribe to the matter of fact. Nobody, however, can suppose, that a doubtful article will ever fetch as much money, as one whose soundness can be depended on. Of course, the proprietors... of timber suffer, not only because their ar- ticle is really defective, but because what appears otherwise, is suspected to I/e so. A good system of management would, among other beneficial effects, go far to reduce the matter to a certainty. The woodpeckers frequently make holes in trees ; but such are, in the first instance, materially different from what are left by dead branches ; having but scl-^ dom a downward tendency, and never ariy swell aroUnd them ; nor do they often reach the core. In a }' oung vigorous tree, they sometimes grow over; in one the reverse, very seldom ; and, therefore, in time, the wet they receive, will penetrate U8 to the core ; after which, the defect will operate the same, as if it had been occa- sioned by a rotten branch.
