Description:
"The present invention has for its object to provide a simple and effective machine for boring holes in fir trees or logs, in which fire is placed for destroying them by burning.

"Some of the western countries are heavily timbered with fir-trees, which are burned down and off, and to prepare them for this purpose it is necessary to have a simple and practical as well as easily-operating machine that can bore the required hole for creating the necessary draft when fire is placed therein."
