A VISIT TO A TuRPENTINE FARM.
But let us visit a turpentine farm.
There are hundreds OF them within a
few hours ride OF Brunswick. Each
farm consists oil thousands Of pine trees,
and as you look at it you notice that the
trees have chopped and SCARED places,
running from the roots to about the
height of your waist. As you come
closer you see that at the loot Oi each
Scared place hole or box has been
cut in the tree, and that the gum or sap
is ooEing out OF the Scared places and
running down into this box. The scars
or places where the bark and wood are
cut of are about loot wide aud from
eighteen to thirty-six inches long.
Some trees have several Scared places
upon them, with box at the foot OF
each. The size OF turpentine farm is
known by the number OF the boxes.
Ten thousand five hundred boxes make
what is known as a crop, but there are
farms here which have millions Of boxes
ana upon winch nunuTeuS Oh employees
are kept busy cutting the trees and
scraping and gathering the gum. The
employees are negroes, many OF whom
have been imported from North and
South Carolina. They are worked
under overseers. They labor in gangs,
going rapidly through the forests and
chopping out the boxes. Their axes
are not so wide and about twice as
long as the ordinary ak used for wood
chopping. Two men always work to-
gether, and one must be rlght-handed
man and the other lett handed. When
the box is finished it is deep enough to
hold the sap which it is thought the tree
will supply. II the tree is small, only a
pint box is made; il large, box big
enough tc hold quart is cut. This
work is done in October and November,
or even later in the winter. In the
spring. when the sap begins to move in
the trees. the negroes go about with
scrapers and gonge out ridges or scars
in the wood above the boxes. The sap
begins at once TO flow cut, and crystal

They cut faster than than the gang saws

to be the case with all the machinery OF
the south, The big establishments

is cheap does not lead them TO use the
old methods and the man who expects
to sell old machinery to the south will
tail.
A great quantity OF Georgia cypress is
now being gotten out Much OF that OF
the future will come from the Okeehno-
kee swamp, which is now being re-
deemed. This swamp is, with the prob
able exception OF the Dismal swamp,
the largest in the United States. 1t has
vast quantities OF good timber and when
the present Improvements are completed
it will be one OF the most valuable agri.

| there are indications that short distance
| below the surface OF tine swamp there
are immense coal beds. The timber
will be one oil the most valuable pro-
ducts OF this region, and it will probably
soon be thrown upon the market
now LUMBER is BOUGHT.
At present the lumber OF Georgia is
one OF the most valuable properties OF
the state. The long.leaied pine, or
Georgia yellow pine, still left is worth
millions OF dollars, and this lumber
furnishes the bulk of the freight Carried
to many OF the railroads. Many of the
lumber men are getting rich by buying
these forests and shipping timber TO the
north. They buy the woods by the
thousands OF acres and then build raii-
roads to get the timber out. Their
agents first 20 through the country and
take options on the property they want.
III they meet man who will not sell
they may run their railroad just to his
estate and then stop; or they may get
HIM TO sell them right OF way through
it, which he does, thinking sooner or
later they will be obliged 10 purchase at
his price. After they have gotten out
their own timber, they tell the man that
| il he does not come to terms they will
take up the railroad. In some cases he
refuses. and, am told, that such roads
have been torn up, leaving man with
| small lot of timber long distance
from any line OF railroad. Much OF the
timber which comes here is Cut by log
gers in the winter and iloated down
| when the rivers are high by the early
\ spring rains. The southern lumber
men have not the advantage OF the
SHOWS over which to draw the logs. as is
the custom in the north. The logs are
either dragged by OK teams or raised up
between the wheels OF a curious wagon
which is used III numbering here. and

drops form upon the wood and drip
down into the box. Every few days the
box gets full, and man comes along
with scoop and scoops out the liquid,
which is almost as thick as molaSses.
He carries box or key with him, and
pours the sap into this as lie goes from
tree to tree. When his key is full he
empties it into barrel, aud the barrel
later on is car,ed off to the distillery.
The trees must be gashed again and
again during the summer, andlrom time
TO time the negroes go through the
farm and scrape down such OF the sap
as has crystaiized above the boxes. AT
the close OF the season. or little later,
another set of gashes are made above
the old ones to furnish the crop Tor the
next year. The sap for the second year
is not so white or transparent as that OF
the first. II grows darker rom year 10

But let us follow the Juice OF the pine

| The question is to get the turpentine
out OF it. 1t will take eight barrels OF
this mixture TO furnish about two barrels
| of the spirit OF turpentine, and what re-
| mains will be rosin. The turpentine is
| gotten out in much the same way that
| whiskey is made. The distilery consists
OF rude sheds knocked up in the forest
| at distance not far from the railroad.
| The sap is first emptied into a great
| kettle for boiling which is set into a
brick furnace. From this pipes run out
at the top and on into a coil or worm.
| These pipes are to carry out the turpen-
tine yapor. The sap is mixed with
water. As the fire heats it vapor rises
and goes off into the pipes. The pipes
| are so arranged that water flows over
them, and as the vapor strikes their
cold sides it condenses and is turned
back into liquid again. The boiling is
continued until what remains in the ket.

quite as brown as the cheapest OF the
New Orleans variety. This is taken out
and put into barrels, 1t is rosin, and as
it leaves the dstillery it is ready TOR
shipment to the markets. There are
different qualities OF rosin, according to
the character OF the sap from which II is
made and to the time OF the year at
which the sap is gathered.

ouR LUMBER GIVING our.
II is hard to realize how fast the lum-
her OF tie United States is being con.
sumed. Nearly every country of
Europe has some laws Tor the preserva-
ton OF its forests We have practically
none. 1t iB true that some OF the states
have passed acts for the preservation OF
forests and small amount OF forests
has been set aside by the national
government. These reservations are,
however, comparatively small, and the
probability is that we will at no very dis.
tant day be in the midst OF lumber
famine. 1t is safe to say that there are
about 100000 people employed in lum.
bering today. We sold timber to the
amount OF 1000 GOO, COO in 1883, and the
product OF lumber Of that year was est
mated at 10000, 600 600 cubic feet. This
would make solid beam foot square,
more than S, 5oo.ouo miles long. or long
enough to make solid roadway more
than zoo feet wide and a loot thick clear
around the world.
AT present the best timber of the
north, namely, the white pine Of the
northwest and tue New England pine,
is practically gone, and everywhere
have travelled in the south find the
lumber men by hundreds at work. Our
average loss OF lumber by fire annually
amounts to more than $4,000, 600.
Some years II is more than double this,
and in 1879 more than 1000 600 acres
OF forests were burned and more than
s7s 700, ooo worth OF lumber was des-
,royed.
Our FOREIGN LUMBER TRADE.
Our foreign lumber trade is increasing
enormously. We sent $40, 900 ,ooo worth
OF wood 10 Canada and England last
year. The chief foreign demand now
seems to be for southern pine, and great
quantities OF il are being shipped to
Germany and England Our furniture
goes everywhere. and great deal of
lumber is used ior making furniture.
There are 1000 establishments in Michi.
gan which consume the products oil the
saw mills, and that state turns out more
than sI5 900, 900 worth OF furniture every
year. West Virginia is developing Il
large wood pulp business, and the
southern shingles now compete with the
red cedar shingles OF the Pacific coast,
An enormous amount OF lumber is used
by tue RAILROADS., more Wan 100000, 600
cubic feet being annually taken for ties
etc. Five hundred cubic feet are used
yearly for fences, and we consume Tor
fuel the enormous amount OF IS,ooo,-
ooo, 600 cubic feet annually. The most
OF the mines Of the United States have
TO be timbered, and 10000, 600 cubic
feet are eaten up by our coal, iron and
gold and silver regions, while 2So, 900,
900 cubic feet are burned to make char
coal. IN addition to this there are little
businesses that used up great deal OF
wood. A toothpick is not large, but the
aggregate amount used by the 10000,
600 people ofthe United States requires
| many logs. There is a single factory in
Michigan which makes 1900, 900 tooth.

tinny to think OF raising turpentine on

inc forests, in which it takes about a
Generation to grow the crop and sea-
