Comparative durability Of Oak and Chest.

that posts of oak and others Of chesnut were
planted in Somersetsbirr- when they had to
undergo repair in Is years, which is longer
than oak posts would last in this country, the
oak posts were found to be unservIceabe and
the chestnut very little worn. The oak posts
we're renewed, The chestnut remained, aud IN
twenty FIVE years afterwards they were not So
much rotted as the oak. In l772, a fence was
made partly of oak posts aud rails, and partly
OF chesnut posts and rais-the trees made use
OF we're oil The same age, and were what may
be termed young trees. In nineteen years,
The oak posts had 30 decayed al the surface, as
