Old Methods Were Wastcful

custom ?» r» :: ricer) boxes or cavities

liquid rum which forms the basis .of
iurpent‘ne. l: was recognized. even
in the put. that then cuts weaken}:
turpentine production oi the
danger or forest tires. and that much
of tho turpentine was lost through
evaporation.
VVlth the growth of population and
the disappearance of trees; it becomes
necessary to adopt methods of con-
serving the supply by the prevention
of waste. Troos are no longer girdled
as they used to be. Old time opera-
tors knew that cutting the bark of a
tree (or the full circumference was
to sign the tree's death warrant. be-
cause of preventing the interchanging
now of up between root- and
branches. ’
' Tho Kn Way
Modern mo od- have substituted
the “streak" or the old-time box or
cavity. The streak is made by a
workman know as a-"chlppor." be-
cauu ho chips the toes of the tree
with a sharp tool. exercising care not
to so too deeply into the wood. .Not
only does the shallow chipping do
away with the damage ot‘tho deep
cuts. but it also adds to tho life of the
tree because of the conservative man-
nor in which the streak is made to
increase in also.
An expert chipper can handle some-
thlng like 10. 000 streaks a week. This
means that ho is able to to over an
entire “crop" at weekly Intervals
throughout the «mo. _At each virii
become more than twice this long
during a single season‘s operations.
It will be noted from the illustration
that tho bare face of the tree is pro-
tected at the side by a strip of bark.
Strips of five or six inches in width
are made an essential part of the ct-
fort to conserve the life of the tree.
When two streaks are made. in suc-
cessive cropping. it is a stringent rule
that they shall be thus separated. with
a view to preventing the deadly prac~
tics of .girdlinx.
Turpentine is a resinous juice.
When first extracted it is in the form
of crude turpentine. running from 75
to 90 per cent. rosin. the remainder
being oil. To obtain the product
known as oil of turpentine. the Juice
is distilled. usually with water added.
When the crude turpentine ‘fias
passed through the still the resultant
products are the solid gum known as
resin and the clear. colorless oil of
turpentine. rrha oil is or great im-
portance in the arts. and is much used
for giving the proper consistency to
oil paints and varnishes.) In addition
the oil gives the paints and varnishes
properties which cause them to dry
quickly—an important factor in such
materials.
