178 FORESTRY IN LITHUANIA. 



forest country : there they facilitate the sale of forest 

 materials, whereas here they only facilitate the cutting of 

 these, which even without this have a ready sale ; therefore 

 the sawmills of the government of Kherson do not form a 

 necessity of the wood trade, but are hired to saw up the 

 logs, as workmen are hired generally, and this limits the 

 importance of sawmills in the wood trade. With regard 

 to the influence of cartage on the wood trade I must say 

 that in this respect the government of Kherson is very 

 similar to the government of Ekatherinoslav. 



' The railway in the Kherson government passes princi- 

 pally near those parts where the crown forests are grouped, 

 and where the foresters reside, viz. : Tiraspol, Ananiev, 

 Novomirgorod, and Krilov. In consequence of this the 

 forests of the above-named forest districts are of great 

 importance, and the forest districts themselves, from the 

 convenience of life for the foresters, deserve the particular 

 consideration of those that wish to become foresters. 



' The government of Kherson is divided into the five 

 following forest districts :
