The limo to Cut Timber.

If oak, hickory or chestnut timber
be felled in August, in the second
running of the sap, and barked, quite
a large tree will season perfectly, and
even the twigs will remain sound for
years; whereas, that timber cut in
the winter and remaining till next fall
Gas thick as your wrist) will be com
pletely sap-rotten and almost unfit for
any purpose. The body of the oak
split into rails will not last more than
ten or twelve years. Chestnut will
last longer, but no comparison to that
cut in August. Hickory cut in the
eighth month is not subject to be
wormeaten. When l began farming
in 1902, it was the practice to cut
timber for post fencing in the winter.
Winter oak posts and black oak rails
cut at that time, / found, did not last
more than ten or twelve years. In
1908 / began cutting fence timber in
the eighth month. Many of the oak
rails cut that year are yet sound, as
we'll as most of the chestnut. IF the
bark be not taken off this month, how
ever, it will peel off itself the second
or third year and leave the wood
perfectly sound. The tops of the
trees are also more valuable for fuel
than when cut in the winter or spring.
| advise young farmers to try the ex
pertinent for themselves, and if post
fences do not last twice as long, for
felt all my experience as worthless.

THE nomination of Hayes and
Wheeler has fallen like bomb shell
in the Democratic camp. They read
in those two names the handwriting
on the wall, and know that they
mean the union of all good citiz sns
against the common enemy, Democ-
racy, in the pending campaign. The
struggle will be between Bourbon
Democracy with its rebel allies on
the one hand, and Republicanism
with its loyal followers on the ether.
There will be no disaffected element
to weaken the great party of free
dom. On ali sides it is conced ed
that the ticket selected heals all diff
ferences and unites the party in one
solid column agains' the common
foe.
