G58 ArXILIAKV FOREST INDUSTRIES. 



umliTtakcs many iudustrics \vliicb arc properly of an auxiliary 

 nature. 



Since, therefore, several auxiliary forest industries are often 

 directly conducted by the forest owner, or by the State, the 

 most important of these will be now described in the following 

 order : — 



I. Antiski'TIc Injection of Wood. 



II. Use of Machines for Converting Wood. 



lU. Carbonisation of Wood. 



rv. Digging and Preparing Peat. 



V. Husking and Cleaning Coniferous Seeds. 



[VI. Prep.u^ation of Resin and Turpentine. — Tr.] 



[A short account of the preparation of wood-pulp has been already 

 given on p. 160, and of oil from beech-nuts on p. 569. In India 

 distillation of sandal-wood oil and manufacture of kutch, lac and 

 caoutchouc are simple industries which may be profitably undertaken 

 by forest-owners, and in which the State can lead the way to 

 improved processes, as explained by Fernandez in his "Utilization of 

 Forests." — Tr.]
