leader Mr. Dudley has become, found
itself unable to speak one word Of
comfort or Of hope. Tho Hortieult.s-

EVERLASTING FENCE POsrs.-A
correspondent of the Western Rural
says:
Il discovered many years ago, that
wool could be made to last longer than
iron in the ground, but thought the
process SO simple and inexpensive that
it vas not worth while making any stir
about it l would as soon have pop
lar, basswood or quaking ash as any
other kind Of timber, for fence pests
I have taken out basswood posts after
having been set seven years, that were
as sound when taken up as when they
we're first put in the ground. Time
and weather seem to have taken no
effect on them. The posts can Re pre-
pared for less than two cents apiece.
For the benefit Of others, I will give
you the recipe: Take boiled linseed
oil and stir it in pulverizsl:: charcoal to
the consistency Of paint. Put coat
Of this over tho timber, and there is no
man that will live to see it rotten"
