220 PRACTICAL FOREST MANAGEMENT. 



enclosed in a piece of brown paper until the holes are soldered up. 

 Care should be taken that the clay is not allowed to get inside 

 the tin. 



All tins filled with resin must always be kept in a shed, which 

 should have a wall or planks on the sunny side. 



A strainer must always be available at a packing d^p6t for 

 use in case improperly strained resin is received at the depot. 

 Another strainer may be used for obtaining the last drops of resin 

 which cling to the shavings, etc., strained off from the resin during 

 the ordinary collection. By putting this strainer with the chip, 

 etc., in the sun, all the resin will be melted off and strain through. 

 Small holed tins when filled with resin will be numbered by the 

 Forest Department resin jamadar with serial and distinguishing 

 number. 



Soldering of small -holed tins must be properly done ; in large 

 depots a man can be kept permanently employed. For smaller 

 depots a man will work several depots. More than four days ac- 

 cumulation should not occur except in March and October. Care 

 must be seen that soldering is done strongly and that any defects 

 in tins are repaired at the same time. When soldering is done in 

 sound condition before allowing export, any leaking tins must be 

 repaired before removal. Cart-road resin jamadar will see that 

 in all his depots (or in case of check officers in carts checked by 

 them) tins are not leaking. They will insist on immediate 

 repairs of leaking tins. The cost will be chargeable to Govern- 

 ment but Eange Officers concerned must be informed with a view 

 to the punishment of the solderer concerned, if defects occur 

 frequently.
