A tree felled in maturity under enlightened forest management is all removed for its timber, and leaves the ground clear; but the operations of the bark-hunter leave only hideous destruction and a "slash" that is most difficult to clear in later years. This same hemlock makes a most impressive forest.
I knew well what these red spots of the forest were. They were clumps of cinchona trees those trees that yield the celebrated febrifuge the Peruvian bark! New ideas passed rapidly through my mind.

The labour of finding the trees would not be repaid with double the price obtained for the bark. You may be thinking, my young friend, that a "cascarillero," or bark-hunter, has nothing to do but find a wood of these trees; and then the trouble of searching is over, and nothing remains but to go to work and fell them.
