The Modoc Gibralter.

The subioined letter will be perused
with interest, as much on account Of
its authorship a. because Of the in
| teresting information IL communicates
To the few who may not know the
writer we will say that there is 10
name more honored among the list Of
early pioneers of Oregon than that of
Jesse Apologize, the Sage of Yoncolla.
He writes as folIows:
1.-The word "pedegral." like the
word canyon" has been introduced
into our language from the Spanish
~ designating feature Of the topo-
grAphy more clearly and tersely than
any word or phrase in our language.
As by the word canyon the idea Of q
ravine between walls of rock Is imme-
diately conveyed to the mind, 30 by
the word "pedregral" we understand
al irregular volcanic surface Of basalt,
trachyte, etc, more or less broken in
to upheavais from below, and cracke ed
and fissured in the process of cooling
l first saw the term in Lieutenant
Ripley's account of the Mexican war !:
1t has since been everywhere adopted
by the corps of engineers, and occurs
frequently in the exploration for the
Pacific Railway, ordered by Jeff.
Davis, Secretary Of War, in 1856.

Following tho explosion the whole
thing 10 placed in one OF yulcan's
crucibles and heated up TO . point
when the whole begins to fuse and

all below is honey-combed by the

Experiments in Setting Fence
Posts.

send you the result OF my expert
ence in setting posts on a farm in
Iowa. | set about 1900 white-oak
posts, thrifty timber cut and split in
spring aud set early in summer, Just
as it happened, average eize five
| inches.
In about eleven years the fence
posts began to fail. Some, upon ex-
| animation, found were rotted en-.
tirely off, others were sound. This
fact led me to investigate carefully,
aud then ascertained the fact that
every post set butt down was rotted
OF, or nearly so, and that every post
that was set top down was sound.
Thereupon l went to experimenting
with other timber such as black wal
nut, black-cherry and red-elm, eli set
different ends, and obtained the same
result. | also the same year that
set the first posts, drove pickets for q
garden fence and found the same re-
suit, with the addition that the pick
cts which were about one and a half
inches square riven, lasted just as long
as the fence posts. The posts set top
down lasted about sixteen or seven
teen years.
There were on my farm, when
purchased it, a few burr-oak post sap
lings set top down, with bark on, and
when sold the farm, eighteen years
after, some remained on it still doing
service without having rotted off
! have thus told what am certain
OF, thinking that l may do some OF nv
fellow farmers good turn in good
time, for certainly the farmer needs all

and badness often, though not always,

the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and

saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that q new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-

Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The

not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
