H0to Tar and Itrpentine are g0tteH.-Thc prin-
cipal pursuits Of the inhabitants in many places near
the scacoast of the Southern States is that Of getting
turpentinc. 1t is made from the pines with which
they abound, almost to the exclusion of every other
forest tree Many persons have no other means Of a
livelihood than this employment especially those Of
the poorer classes.
As soon the sap begins to run in the season, a
notch is made the root Of the tree to catch the
turpcntinc This is called boring the tree. Then
il is dipped out, generally with simple gourd, into
buckets, which are cmptcd into barrels on the spot.
These ready for market as they filled,
Another small portion of the tree is pared off and
the sap again desccnds freely into these reccpaclcs.
Under this operation pine will usually live for six
years. and is used in this manner until it is
thus deprived Of its bark and small portion Of its
trunk to the height of ten or fifteen feet.
One man, it is calculated, attend 1000 boxes in
a season, and will collect from 100 to 80 barrels of
turpentine in year. The old trees when they can
yield turpentnc, cut into small pieces,
and then piled in heaps to make tar, which is only
turpentine heated and smoked The whole is then
covered with dirt, and a smohering fire is kept up
beneath. As the wood slowly burns out the tar runs
from beneath into cutters prepared for its reception,
While burning, the kiln is carefully watched day
and night One hundred barrels of tar usually
made at burning. When the kiln is burned out,
the charcoal still remains from the wood, and becomes
also an article of use and value.
