cal test at Ocilla, Ga., during the season of 1902. Its essential features 

 are as follows : 



1. An earthern cup of the same capacity as the standard box is used 

 to catch the crude turpentine. At the top of the cup there is a stout 

 rim, with a half-inch hole, by which the cup is suspended from a nail 

 driven into the tree (fig. 1). 



2. Two thin galvanized sheet-iron gutters convey the resin into the 

 cup. These gutters are each 2 inches wide and from 6 to 12 inches

long, and are bent lengthwise through the middle at an angle of about 

 120, thus forming an angled trough (fig. 3). 



INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT. 



This system can be applied to trees previously boxed as well as to 

 unboxed timber. In placing the equipment on unboxed timber, two 

 flat faces are provided by means of cornering axes, a right-handed and 

 a left-handed man working together. The first strokes with the axe 

 are the same as in cornering the box. Next, by upward strokes of the 

 ax, enough of the bark and sapwood is removed to form flat faces one- 

 half as high as the distance between their outer edges. In this way 

 the two men prepare a double face, corresponding in width with that of 

 the box which would have been cut in such a tree.
