This question` is naturally present exd by our visit to Orillia market and seeing ' the loads oi wood there pre- d seated, the sellers of which in many L- instances call each load a cord. Some of these loads look as if the owners were desirous of selling wood. Others look as if they were intent on selling all the vacancies or holes they can possibly make` in the piling of the same. This brings `to the propounding of the question at the head of this letter, what - is a cord of wood? `In our school arithmetica -we are told that a. cord E.` means one hundred and twenty-eight , cubic feet. If that be so, a cord of wood cannot mean` one hundred and twenty cubic feet of wood and` eight , cubic feet of holes. This presents : . another question. Is a, cord of wood` . ' regulated in itsmeasnrement and pilo ` ing by Dominion Act? or is _it reau- , _ lated in each Province by Provincial 4 legislation? I ask this question, as A1" -_we know the usage in di'erent Pro 3 vinces in this Dominion to'vary ap 'v_ parently very much. In a the old , 1 Province of Quebec no man Tmay ( sell holes in a pile of wood. He _is ] supposedto _pile as closely as the 1 wood can be put together,` and `then I _to Pl? three inoheagall the way` along` I on top of his four V feet high pile, to `I make up (or vacancies which are made CA by notbeing` able pilethe wood /as O a solid.` Then again, with three V inches` youths top `of the pile, there is N the appearance of intentionally loose v .pi1igg,`.iia many towns the `inspector `L ien.*bi,i11?!tit?-ss!!`?!`1l;Pa'l-rmgtvi -an'l it.
