EXPERIMENTS IN SETTING FENCE
POSTS.

A writer to the Western Rural
says: / send you the result of my
experience in setting posts on a farm
In Iowa. set about 1900 whiteoak
posts, thrifty timber cut and split in
Spring and set early in the Summer
just as it happened, average, size
FIVE inches.
In about eleven years the fence
posts began to fall. Some, upon ex-
animation, / found were rotted
entirely off, others were sound.
This fact led me to investigate care
fully and then ascertained the fact
that every post set butt down was
rotted off, or nearly SO, and every
post that was set top down was
sound. Thereupon I went to e1.
perimenting with other timber such
as black walnut, black cherry and
red elm, all set different ends, anG
obtained the same result. / also
the same year that l set the frs
posts, drove pickets for garden
fence and fonnd the same result
with the addition that the pickle.
which were about one and hal
inches square riven, lasted just al
long az the fence posts. The postl
set top down lasted about sixteen Of
seventeen years.
There were on nay farm, when
purchased it, few burr-oak pos
saplings set top down, with bark on
and when ! sold the farm, eighteeI
years after, some remained on it still
doing service without having rot
ted off.
I have thus told what / am certain
of, thinking that may do some o
my fellow farmers good turn il
good time for certainly the farne
needs all the help he can honsstl
get in these times of railroad me
nopolies, high freights, corn. corner
and dull markets.

A FRENCH STORY.

A fashionable young Partisan, dur
ing his last summers shooting, be-
came intimate with the pretty wife
of a gamekeeper and has continued
to visit her. Quite recently the
husband became aware of his dishon-
or, and contrived to be near on the
occasion of one Of these visits. He
approached the house singing and
whistling, and the terrified wife con-
cealed her lover in q closet, and that
closet had been prepared for his
reception by the gamekeeper. En-
tering, he ordered his wife to light
the fires and get breakfast. She
obeyed, at the end of few minutes
thick smoke issued from the closet.
The husband had disconnected the
stove funnel, which ran through it.
He affected not to mind this, nor to
hear tho groans Of the suffocating
man within, and when his wife faint
ed at her work from fright he coolly
got breakfast himself, ate it and de.
parted. The poor woman soon re.
covered and dragged her lover from
his place of confinement, but the
husbands revenge had been conn,
plete,-hs was past human aid.
