Arborists and Foresters know that a tree’s roots can grow three times past the diameter of the tree’s “drip line.” Roots of course help feed the tree water and nutrients, as well as respire. More impressive to me, is how well they anchor such a large and woody mass to the ground, despite wind, height, and gravity. I have come to trust these roots when hanging out in a tree’s canopy.

  • Portable Sawmill - Our Guide to an Economic and Practical Approach to Forest Utilization
    PORTABLE SAWMILL - OUR GUIDE TO AN ECONOMIC AND PRACTICAL APPROACH TO FOREST UTILIZATION By L.S.T. (Stan) Griffiths1 Abstract For many years the coconut palm has been to many the tree of life. Not only has it provided food and drink, but, shelter and heat. It is therefore understandable the reasons why there is some reluctance to destroy this commodity that, has served them so well, howev'er senile and unproductive. In this modern world with its rapidly diminishing lumber supplies due to indiscriminate logging, overcutting, slash and burn cultivation and the creeping sprawl of cities into rural areas where trees make way for roads and progress, it is little wonder that conservationists have taken up the cause to halt or control further diminishing of native forests. The shortage that has been created of millable timber has increased costs for building materials so alternatives have to be sought. Throughout tropical territories, an abundance of timber is available in the form of the coconut palm, that has many properties that can fill many of our lumber needs. Being a relatively new product compared with traditional timbers, new methods have to be discovered to process, market and use cocowood to its best advantage. I have attempted to put together a comprehensive paper outlining basic machinery to process coconut palm, from the standing tree to a finished product suitable for everyday needs. Cocowood Felling and Processing The felling of coconut palm stems is sometimes very difficult, as many plantations have young or producing trees in the immediate vicinity requiring care to be taken not to damage them.

  • Ordre Dipsacales
    Ordre Dipsacales Avant-Propos § Le Vol 18 de FNA n’a pas encore été publié... Les clés présentées ici devraient être modifiées lorsque la parution sera effective. (in prep.) La nouvelle classification phylogénétique APG IV (2016) a confirmé que les genres Sambucus (sureau) et Viburnum (viorne), anciennement de la famille des Caprifoliacées (97), doivent être séparées des Caprifoliacées. Ils doivent plutôt être reliés au genre Adoxa, représenté par l'espèce Adoxa moschatellina, native du nord-ouest de l'Ontario jusque dans l'Ouest du Canada, mais non présente au Québec. Ils font maintenant partie de la famille des Viburnacées (anc. Les Adoxacées). N.B. Le nom à attribuer à la familles est un sujet de controverse et a dû être soumis au vote… (2016) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4859216/ L'ordre des Dipsacales est donc constitué de 2 familles : les Viburnacées et les Caprifoliacées. Les principales différences entre les deux familles sont que les fleurs des Caprifoliacées sont à symétrie bilatérale (zygomorphes), corolles tubulaires à 2 pétales dorsaux, 2 pétales latéraux et un ventral et leurs fruits secs sont à multiples akènes (sauf Linnaea), alors que chez les Viburnacées, les corolles sont à symétrie radiale (actinomorphes) et leurs fruits sont des drupes, donc à un seul noyau ... Les Viburnacées comprennent maintenant 5 genres : Sambucus, Viburnum et trois autres genres, dont Adoxa, que nous n'avons pas au Québec et Sinadoxa et Tetradoxa que nous n’avons pas non plus… Des 7 genres des Caprifoliacées de la Flore laurentienne, on doit donc en soustraire deux, soit les Sambucus et les Viburnum, mais on doit leur en rajouter 6, pour un total de 10 genres sur notre territoire seulement, soient les Diervilla, Dipsacus, Knautia, Linnaea, Lonicera, Succisella, Symphoricarpos, Triosteum, Valeriana et Wiegela.

  • Farm Mechanics
    Farm Mechanics MACHINERY AND ITS USE TO SAVE HAND LABOUR ON THE FARM Including Tools, Shop Work, Driving and Driven Machines, Farm Waterworks, Care and Repair of Farm Implements By HERBERT A. SHEARER AGRICULTURIST Author of “Farm Buildings with Plans and Descriptions” ILLUSTRATED WITH THREE HUNDRED ORIGINAL DRAWINGS CHICAGO FREDERICK J. DRAKE & CO. Publishers Copyright 1918 By Frederick J. Drake & Co. Chicago PREFACE More mechanical knowledge is required on the farm than in any other line of business. If a farmer is not mechanically inclined, he is under the necessity of employing someone who is. Some farms are supplied with a great many handy contrivances to save labour. Farmers differ a great deal in this respect. Some are natural mechanics, some learn how to buy and how to operate the best farm machinery, while others are still living in the past. Some farmers who make the least pretensions have the best machinery and implements. They may not be good mechanics, but they have an eye to the value of labour saving tools. The object of this book is to emphasize the importance of mechanics in modern farming; to fit scores of quick- acting machines into the daily routine of farm work and thereby lift heavy loads from the shoulders of men and women; to increase the output at less cost of hand labour and to improve the soil while producing more abundantly than ever before; to suggest the use of suitable machines to manufacture high-priced nutritious human foods from cheap farm by-products. Illustrations are used to explain principles rather than to recommend any particular type or pattern of machine.

  • Sawmill Comes to the Charles Hunter Farm
    Stories of Pleasant Valley A Sawmill Comes to the Charles Hunter Farm by Larry Kidder On June 1, 1904 the Harbourton column of the Hopewell Herald noted that, “The woodsmen that have been working in Freeland Titus’ woods have completed their work and have moved their saw mill to Charles Hunter’s woods, nearby.” This saw mill was a portable, 60 horse power, steam- powered circular saw owned by George Guyer of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania whose crew included his two sons, Ira and Frank. They had been working on the Titus farm located between the village of Harbourton and Ackor’s Corner, the corner of today’s Route 579 and Pleasant Valley Road. Now they had loaded up their sawmill apparatus and used their horses to carry it the two miles along Pleasant Valley Road to the Hunter farm, located across from the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and the road to Harbourton. At the Hunter farm the equipment was unloaded, set up, and then flat, slanted roofs were put up to protect the mill equipment during the eleven months or so that it would be located there. It probably took the crew about four days to set up the mill and they would have to saw a lot of wood to make the move profitable. Proper set up required creating a solid foundation and properly aligning and leveling the saw frame, log carriage, and circular saw blade. While working on the Hunter farm, the Guyer’s and their crew was housed on the farm and close by. Although stationed at the Hunter farm, George Guyer traveled throughout the neighborhood for several miles around talking with farmers to buy logs or convince them to hire him to do some sawing for them.

Volume 6, Issue 2 (May. – Jun. 2013), PP 53-66 www.iosrjournals.org Ethnobotanical Importance of Some Highly Medicinal plants of District Muzaffarabad, Pakistan with special reference to the Species of the Genus Viburnum Zahid Iqbal Awan1, Habib-ur-Rehman1, Ashfaq Ahmed Awan2, Fiaz Aziz Minhas1and Mohammad Nasir Khan2. 1(Department of Chemistry, University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad 13100, Pakistan). 2(Department of Botany, University of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Muzaffarabad 13100, Pakistan). Abstract: An ethnobotanical exploration was carried out in Muzaffarabad and its adjoining areas including Jhelum Valley of the District Muzaffarabad during 2010-2011. All the plants with the ethnobotanical importance were identified and segregated separately. The region is entirely mountainous, having sub-tropical to dry temperate climate with distinct seasonal variations. This study mainly focused on the information regarding traditional uses of plants over the years by local inhabitants. The informations were then confirmed by Hakims and the old people of the areas. During the survey informations were collected from various sites, i.e. Noon Bagla, Rahim Kot, Danna Kachilee, Kot Terhala, Sanwarrian, Chikar, Chikothi, Kathiee, Qazi Nag, Rashian, Daokhun, Mojee, Lamnian, Nardaggian, Pandu, Hatian Balla, Ghahi Dopatta, Chinnari, Rabanee, Bani Hafiz, Domel, Hattian Dopatta, Khanssian, Nandi Ka Sar, Sing Paharee,Nari Bela, Khalla Butt and Leepa. The plants were used medicinally and for other purposes. The investigations resulted that usually one plant or a mixture of two or more plant is used. The unplanned exploitation had resulted in the loss of medicinally important plant species.
