of the tree may be utilized for sugar making withovit danger- 

 ously lessening the tree's vitality. 



The wood of sugar maple is heavy, strong, dense, and hard, 

 but it is not durable in contact with the soil. It is used in 

 large quantities for shoe lasts, bobbins, finish and flooring, 

 musical instruments, furniture, woodenware, handles, and coop- 

 erage. This wood, together with birch and beech, is used in 

 other States, notably, New York Pennsylvania, and Michigan, 

 for wood distillation, the products of which are wood alcohol, 

 acetate, and charcoal. Handles made from sugar maple are 

 principally for peavies and cant-hooks. This wood is used al- 

 most exclusively in the manufacture of die and print blocks. 

 Veneer boxes are made from it, and Table VII indicates a long 

 list of other uses.
