698 UTILIZATION OF LEAVES, TWIGS AND ROOTS. 



[In India and other hot countries, where scarcely any 

 fodder-crops are raised, and where the crowding is lost in forest- 

 pasture, used for fuel, or only for manuring valuable crops of 

 sugar-cane or tobacco, the importance of a supply of branch- 

 litter (rab) as manure, as well as of leaf -fodder for feeding 

 cattle in winter, is so great, that a regular system of lopping 

 trees for the purpose is at present inevitable. The rules under 

 which this is permissible, in order to perpetuate the supply, 

 are given on p. 85, Vol. IV. of this manual. Tr.]
