large tree will se.,soIi perfectly and even
the twigs remain sound for years;
whereas hat cut in winter and remain
ing till mex fall las thick as your wrist
will be almost completely sap-rotten'
and will be almost unfit for any pur-
pose. The body Of oak split into rails
will not last more than 10 or IL years
Chestnut will last longer, but no COM
parison to that cut in August. Hickory
cut in the eighth molth is not subject
To he worm-eaten, and will last long
time for fencing When | began farm
iny in 1902, it wasthe practice TO cut
timber for post fencing in the winter.
White oak posts and black OAK rails cut
az that time, / found did not last more
than ten or twelve years. In lSoo be
gan cutting fence timber i'll the eighth

are yet sound, as well as most of those
formed of chestnut. If the bark he MOI
