From the fold Link as usual went to the woodlot where his five head of lean milch cattle were at graze. Three of the cows were waiting at the bars for him, but one heifer and a new-dry Holstein were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the second-growth timber. The afternoon was hot; it had been a hot day. Link was tired.
A pair of rubber boots in the corner of the Chapel caught my eye and the wan light of March outside. "There's everything there a virgin beech wood a few acres of second-growth stuff that has all the vines and trailers then the stream and the big hollow where the cattle move up and down." "Did you have anything to do with keeping it unspoiled?" I asked.
We were soon in presence of the King, where under the shade of a clump of second-growth poplar-trees, with which nearly all the farms in the north of France are here and there dotted the presentation was made in the simplest and most agreeable manner.
The Hermit removed the snares and departed, leaving Ahmeek and his colony once more free to dream away the winter unmolested. Near the southern border of the wilderness the aisles of lofty spruce give place to second-growth birch, maple and ash, and these in turn to wild meadows and stump lots. The country is rugged, broken here and there by upthrusts of gray rock.
Such is the case with the great wooded belt north of the Gold Coast, where even the second-growth becomes impenetrable without the matchet, and where the swamps and muds, bred and fed by torrential rains, bar the transit of travellers. The Whydah and Gaboon countries are notable specimens of once populous regions now all but deserted.
Looking down through the binoculars it was as if he sat on the topmost bough of a tall tree in the immediate neighborhood of the cabin, although he was fully half a mile distant. He could see each garment of a row on a line. He could distinguish colors a blue skirt, the deep green of salal and second-growth cedar, the weathered hue of the walls.
A five-foot bow of second-growth hickory leaned against the log beside him, but it was unstrung, and the quiver of arrows, suspended by a strap from his shoulders, had been allowed to shift from its proper position so that it hung down the middle of his back and was, consequently, out of easy hand-reach.
It is estimated that more than 300,000,000 gallons of alcohol could be made annually from wood now wasted at the mills. This supply could be increased by the use of second-growth, inferior trees and other low-grade material. Westward the course of forest discovery and depletion has taken its way in the United States.
Death removed Thackeray early and Dickens somewhat less prematurely, but after a period rather barren in direct novel work. The others continued and were constantly reinforced: nor was it till well on in the seventies that any distinct drop from first- to second-growth quality could be observed in the general vintage of English fiction.
Continuing my random walk, I next paused in a low part of the woods, where the larger trees began to give place to a thick second-growth that covered an old Barkpeeling. I was standing by a large maple, when a small bird darted quickly away from it, as if it might have come out of a hole near its base.
