PINE STUMPS MADE VALUABLE The News Tribune recently refer- red to the turpentine. plant at Hinckley, which uses pine stumps as its raw material. An effort made to establish a similar plant at Lady- smith, Wis., brings to light some } interesting facts concerning the industry. The Hinckley plant was established three years ago by a Russian, H. Copilovich, and has prospered. It uses only the Norway pine, but it is believed that white ness up in the northern miver valley is, pine is also available and this is te very good this winter.

The process is compar- atively simple. ‘The _ stumps are swead into blocks. Large “iron retorts are constricted, like flueless boilers standing vertically, These} are encased with brick and are filled | with the blocks, sealed airtight, and i fires are made in furnaces at the | bottom of structures. Three days are required to run off a retort, the | liquid passing out of pipes leading | to condensers. When the process of | extraction is completed the residue is charcoal. The raw material is reflned in a distillery similar to| those used in ordinary distillation. From one cord of _the blocks there is secured sixteen gallons of turpen- | tine, twenty gallons of tar, ten gal-| lons of tar oil, and thirty bushels of | charcoal, worth as jobbers’ prices $15.10. Besides this, acetates of soda, lime and lead or wvod alcohol form by-products. It is estimated thata plant of six retorts will con- sume ten cords of stumps a day, for { which $4a cord is paid.
