To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although birch trees are comparatively abundant in some parts of our country, they number only about half a dozen species in all. The best of the birches for fire- wood is the black birch, or, as it is often called, the sweet birch. Children and others chew its tender buds and bark for its flavor, which is similar to that of wintergreen. The wood of the other birches is of com- paratively low grade as fuel. Sometimes there will be found among the wood as purchased from the dealer sticks of beec...h, hornbeam, crab-apple, dogwood, plane tree, and honey locust mingled with the oak and other high grade cord wood. The quantity of each of those kinds of wood is always small and their quality fairly good, so their presence in the wood pile is not greatly objectionable. Cottonwood, and all the other poplars, the willow and linden, all furnish soft wood of low fuel value. The elm, black walnut, butternut, and black locust, although compara- tively dense woods, are not of high grade for fuel, as they do not burn so freely as do most trees of equally vigorous growth.
