The process of barrel making IS a
very Interesting one, and is but one of
s1k many striking exempifica,icus of
msn's Ingenuity. and IN combining OF
stssm. power With the physical. First,
tbs pine logs are sawed iuto lengths OF
barrel slaves Then these pieces are
thrown upon movable table, aud the
workman, after properly adjusting, push
es them against peculiarly constructed
circular saw, which transforms the
longths into slaves, convex and concave.
As the slaves fail from the saw, they are
taken by another workman who fits aud
Jcints than on i machine constructed for
that purpose After leaving the jointer
ths slaves are taken. in quantities sutfi
cient to form barrel, by the cooper. who
proceeds to make them serve the purpose
for which they we're intended First,
he stands them on end within a form
similar 10 a half barrel and when all
are plaesd in proper manner, he takes
an iron hoop of the same circumference
asshe usual wooden hoops, and, one by
on, bends the slaves until all the upper
ends are side by side within the circle.
The head is then set in place, and the
wooden hoop fitted over and driven down,
until il bands tightly on the slaves. The
barrel is then turned end for end, aud
the same process gone through with as
before, at the conclusion of which, it is
finished, all except the drying. This is
accomplished By placing each barrel over
= email FIRE, and continuing it there until
the wood is dry and well seasoned. When
fully completed, ell the barrels that are
to Be shipped any distance are taken to
pieces again, aud sent to the shipping
department, packed in bundles, called
shocks, thus very materially lessening
the bulk, which is very important con
sideration in transportation.
