Preserving Pests.

Every farmer who has to fence his
land knows too we'll how quickly posts
planted in the earth become rotten, es.
pecially in a damp spot. All of them
will welcome the following process to
prevent rottonness, a process as won-
derful in its effects rs it is simple and
almost costless:
''Take linseed oil, boil it, and mix it
with charcoal dust until the mixture
has the consistence of an ordinary paint.
Give to the post q single coat Of the
mixture or paint before planting them,
and no farmer, even living to the age
of the patriarchs Of old, will live long
enough to see the same posts rotten.
"Some years ago 1 discovered this
way of rendering wood more durable in
earth than iron ITSELF" says the author
ofthe communication, "but it--seemed
to me SO simple and 50 Inexpensive
that | did not think it worth while to
make much ado and fuss about it.
Posts of soft wood thus prepared were
removed after remaining seven years in
the earth, and were foued as sound as
when planted. The only ~precaution to
take is to use only well-dried posts be,
fore covering them with the charcoal
paint"

reason for the greater success Of after
