data are obtained all in accordance with what is generally

 with detailed cases in illustration of the satisfactory con-

 cases involving difficulties. 



SECTION 5. FOREST INDUSTRIES. 



Under the head of Forest Industries, information is 

 supplied to the students in regard to all that is being done 

 in Spain with forest products to prepare them for the 

 market and for use. It includes the cutting up, if not the

 this may affect the use to be made of it ; the preparation 

 of fuel yielded by the forest, whether as firewood or as char-

 esparto grass ; and much besides. 



Of the comprehensive character of the instruction given

 the profitable disposal of forest production, an illustration

 of the First Class in the Corps of Forest Engineers, superior 

 Honorary Chief of the Civil Administration, and Knight- 

 Commander of the Royal Orders of Charles III. and of 

 Isabel la Catholic, &c., in which information is supplied in 

 regard to well-nigh a hundred materials and products and 

 processes of forest industry.
