Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 1: October, 1902 If the inhabitants of Germany should leave their country it would be all grown up with woods within a century. Since there would be nobody to use them, the soil would be enriched and the woods would not only increase in size, but in productive power. If, however, the people returned again and made just as large drafts as before for wood, litter and pasturage, the wood lands, even with the best forest management, would again not only be reduced in size, but also become less fertile. Forests form and thrive best where there are no people and hence no forestry, and those are perfectly justified who say Formerly we had no forestry science and enough wood now we have that science, but no wood. One could say with the same justice Those people are health ier who do not need a physician than those who do. But it would not follow that the physicians are to be blamed for the diseases. There would be no physicians if there were no diseases, and no forestry science without deficiency in wood supplies. This science is only a child of necessity or need, and need is therefore its natural concomitant hence the phrase should be: We have now a forestry science because we have a dearth of wood. Forestry, however, does not offer any nostrums and can do nothing against the course of nature. The celebrated physician Verdey said: The good physician lets people die; the poor one kills them. With the same right one can say the good for ester allows the most perfect forests to become less so the poor one spoils them. That is to say, just as the good physician can not hinder that men die because that is the course of nature, so the best forester cannot hinder that the forests, which came to us from past times, become less now they are being utilized.

Excerpt from Forestry Quarterly, Vol. 6 The origin of the steam skidder, which in its various forms is the main topic here to be treated, may be found in the grant ing to Mr. Horace Butters, of Luding'ton, Michigan, of letters patent for the first steam skidder. This original type of ma chine was devised to get logs out of low, wet places, and the curious surface formations found in many of the glaciated re gions of the Lake States, known as pot holes. Mr. Butters wisely foresaw the wide field possible to cover with his invention. Soon he replaced the Manila rope originally used by wire rope, and numerous important changes were made in the construction of the machine. In a circular in 1886 the possibilities of the steam skidding methods were first presented to the public.
