societv measuring wood the present high price of cordwood seems to have had a remarkable etfect on the length of the average stick as well as on the general dimensions of the pile it has aiodevelopeda tendency to sell by the load instead of the cord it would be bet ter for honest buyers and sellers if the council would regulate the matter by by law compelling all sellers to procure a ticket from an officer appointed for the purpose giving the amount and quality of tbewood then bargains should be made- at so much per cord of 128 solid feet and the farmers would get what was right and the buyer would be satisfied instead of be ing suspicious when wood was 150 or 1200 per cord the measure was liberal but now it is generally pretty close and some times very ehort of what it purports to be our
