THEY LIVE ON Stills.
EASY HOURS


THE people live 16-foot stills in the remarkable
turpentine- growing country of France They doa
these stills after breakfast They do not them

There two reasons for the wearing of stills in
the turpentne country One is the turpentine gather
ing. The other is the herding of the great focks.
The turpentine comes from the maritime pine. This
tree is tapped, single is inserted, and from the
single is hung tiny bucket into which the turpen
tine drips. The tapping process is like that used
the American sugar maple.
Young pine trees tapped low, but with each
years passage the incision is made higher up, SO
that it is not long before of the tapped
twenty or thirty feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills of the workmen On these
stills they traverse the fiat country covering five or
six yards with each tride and quickly and easily they
collect the urpentne that overows the little buckets
hanging high up in the trees. "~-
1t is for herdng also that the stills useful Tho
country is very fat and the herdsman, unless he
tinually climbed tree, would be unable to keep all
the members of his huge flock in sight. But striding
